Yeah I’m tired of them going to those three states over and over especially Texas and Florida. We fucking get that they got you through Covid because of their dumbass local government but give some other places a card. They still owe Portland a card since we were one of the first events cancelled due to Covid in April 2020.

 

It is pretty wild how they just cycle through the same few places over and over. It's not like other places don't sell really well.

 

Here is a list of events by city since the first event back in front of a crowd (UFC 261 Usman/Masvidal 2) at Jacksonville in 2021.

 

I just said hi to Khalil Roundtree in passing at DIA. Cool day.

 

Doumbe had fucking Mbappe in the crowd. Knocked a dude out in under 10 seconds. And Dana offered him 12k/12k per fight lmaooooo

hope he becomes a giant star

 

UFC 297 in Toronto in January

Volk/Topuria
Sean/Chito
Evloev/Arnold Allen

all rumored for it

 

McNuggets entered the testing pool again. Conveniently places him right around UFC 300

 

Ooooof. Lewis gonna get subbed in a minute

 

Yeah that’s an awful matchup for Lewis and also doesn’t really answer any potential questions we have about Almeida. That card is super week though so they didn’t have many options.

 

Charles out, Islam-Volk 2 next week!!!!

 

HOLY FUCK WHAT

 

Costa is out too????

 

Same page that first reported Charles being out

 

Welp. This card might’ve fallen upwards despite it already being good


Rumor that Usman might step in to fight Khamzat

 

Usman/Khamzat would be insane. What an upgrade.

 

Usman confirmed! holy shit lol

 

Very rare to see an already good card get better due to injuries. Hooooly

 

news don’t stop

USADA just announced that January 1st marks the end of their relationship with the UFC

 

OOOOOOOF

 

What a wild 24 hours

 

hell yeah. somehow more hyped for this card now haha.

 

Yeah the top two fights are a big upgrade. I feel like Usman is a much bigger test for Chimaev than Costa and the main event is a rematch of one of my favorite fights the past few years. One of the few times where fights falling out actually made the card better haha

 

Being heavily implied that starting January 1st the UFC will be doing in-house drug testing like WWE


get ready for more juice
