Lmao at the Casino having been closed since March 20

The fighters are literally saying **** a Union, do whatever you want to us, Dana

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Exactly what I figured would be their stance

“The commission echoes the guidance of California Governor Gavin Newsom, the Department of Public Health, local health officials, and the recommendations of the Association of Ringside Physicians regarding the cancellation of events where people may be at risk of contracting COVID-19 and encourages the industry to do the same,” the California athletic commission said in a statement. “The commission will not participate in the UFC event on April 18, regardless of the event location.”

Soo does this mean there will be no ringside physicians for the fights? I’m confused.

There will be, if some are willing to. They’ll just be sanctioned by the ufc

When commissions aren’t involved everything is sourced by the ufc

The ca commission doesn’t have the authority to be involved on reservations but the commission is just making it clear that they think it’s a bad idea

“This fight is multiple years in the making. This fight is beyond personal. There is a serious beef between me and Tyron Woodley, and it needs to be settled,” added Covington. “The only way it is going to be settled is, we’re going to do it on Dana White’s fight island, I’m going to end that b*tch. He’s going to be dead and they can just throw his dead body to the sharks.”

Not that things ever go to plan, but it's looking like Khabib is going to make his title defense in September, meaning if he wins that he probably wouldn't fight again until 2021. Conor going to have to take another fight or two before then

“Everybody felt that if Conor was going to get a shot at Khabib that actually Gaethje should get it before Conor,” White said when speaking to ESPN. “I mean it couldn’t have worked out any better.

“You get Gaethje vs. Tony. It’s the fight that makes sense. It’s two of the top guys in the world. Khabib is out so the winner will face Khabib.”

“Conor really wants that rematch with Khabib. Well Khabib and Tony or Gaethje won’t fight now until probably September.”

Rewatched Justin Gaethje vs a Cowboy. At the end he said he wants the winner of Tony vs Khabib. And if Tony wins, no one is going to miss that fight. They could put millions in that stadium

Crazy

Going to be interesting to see what numbers this card does. You have one side where millions of people are losing their jobs or tight with money so there's no way fishing 80 for a ppv will work. Then you have the fact that there won't be fight parties or bars with the fight so more people will individually buy the fight.

I dunno, everyone probably had to sign a contract saying they knew the risks and that the ufc isn't responsible if they get Corona and die. Also ufc events bring in a lot of money with their events so I doubt state athletic commissions would try to bring the hammer with penalties. If the event is on neutral ground, commissions can't do anything anyway. ufc acts like their own commission in those situations.
