The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

[xbiker47]

So many fighters, many prominent names, immediately volunteered to fight in these conditions

God bless their spirits but that is exactly why there won't be a Fighter's Union for a very long time

Fighter's will never unionize

Unfortunate because they really need too

Sad a ton of fighters going to miss out on paychecks right now

Wow

“First we’re focused on Raphael, and that’s still the fight to make and the fight next,” Cody Garbrandt explained. “Then go down and really save the flyweight division.”

 

[steevoo1]

Cutting that weight after having kidney problems and a glass chin ain't really the best idea. But we'll see. I do want to see how him switching his camps to mark Henry impacts him.

Cutting that weight

That’s a fake Ariel account

 

[thehealthinspector]

even though i fell for the fake news, id still hesitate to trust danas word until its actually official

 

[freakydestroyer]

Dana is going to make it happen. He knows if he puts on an event that is halfway decent, he will be legendary.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dana falling for that fake account is funnier than I expected dood is probably stressing and wanted to jump down Ariel's throat

Dana was so sure it was going to happen and now he's admitting Khabib is out

 

[jayt1202]

Card announcement coming tomorrow Dana says?? Wonder if Tony has accepted the Gaethje fight?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It's been such a long road in terms of the Khabib vs Tony thing that I'm not even disappointed that much that it's apparently really not happening in a few weeks

The only reason I hope they can do an event is so everyone can get paid. Other than that there are so many reasons why it shouldn't happen on many levels

 

[アミーゴ]

Dana isn’t intelligent whatsoever - idk how he lucked most of this

Great team around him though (who do get paid pretty well)

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I gotta give Dana credit for all of his work from the ground up. I am sure that took intelligence, if we're being honest. Intelligence in some capacity because he certainly didn't have all that much money like the Frettita brothers

He made a lot of really smart choices along the way as well. From absorbing all the biggest competitors (PRIDE then WEC then Strikeforce) to the FOX deal to finding and building those icons like Ronda and Conor and selling his Golden Wolf Ticket to the new owners for billions to now being beyond set with Disney/ESPN

He's accomplished a lot and I don't think you can necessarily luck into that many great choices. It took work from the beginning when MMA was on life support

 

[xbiker47]

I still wanna know what location he even found to do this

 

[アミーゴ]

I think Dana is a hard worker but he isn’t behind the M&A deals.

 

[アミーゴ]

I still wanna know what location he even found to do this

It’s a joke at this point - he wasn’t up front about this a month ago.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Can't wait to see who is on the card. The anticipation is killing me. I am pretty confident Rose vs Andrade will be part of it.

Think about all the fighters who are hungry for a paycheck and would jump at this opportunity to be on this card

For sure. I am not expecting too many superstars though.

 

[bapar11]

cucuy/hightlight real officially signed

 

[jayt1202]

Wow the Tony/Justin fight is signed but the location still isn't confirmed?? Wonder if the supposed west coast location is some tribal casino arena?!?
