Guess we’ll know post 270 if they finally make the JBJ vs winner of Francis/Cyril.

Perfect matchup.

Hope Leon can get a deal done for the Usman fight

 

[spiderjericho]

Gotta give it to Gilbert. He’s trying to get back in the conversation. First WB then this. Can’t say he was ducking folks.

 

[xbiker47]

I would think Dana trying to make that fight happen ASAP so they can push khamzat for the title shot over Leon if he beats burns

 

[shogun]

burns is a beast. Had usman hurt then started to fade when he couldn't put him away.

Gilbert fights anyone calls out everyone this last year he’s been on a rampage . A lot of these fighters turn down to many fights

 

[jayt1202]

If they make the Burns-Khamzat fight by early 22' Khamzat could very well jump the line to a shot with an impressive finish.

Leon has to know by sitting out hes hurting his chance at next shot. He's already not that popular and doesn't have the most exciting fight style. In the UFC its what have you done lately and in what fashion, regardless of your body of work.

 

[steevoo1]

I think they end up giving him the shot. If they were to make him take a fight it would've been Chimaev. And from what I've read, there were no offers to keep him on that card with a replacement fighter.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Next weekend has a few interesting fights

Brady v Chisea- they trying to use Chisea as a stepping stone, seems kinda rushed tbh. Brady seems legit

Yanez fights for the third time this year. Wish they didn't match him up with Costa last fight but whatever. Yanez is always must watch

gotta read between the lines my man.

theres a reason Leon immediately said what he said followed by DC, Bisping and Chael all claiming that to be the road forward on their individual platforms.

[dasitmane]

I don’t think Burns has the chin to stand with Khamzat

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Leon telling Brett Okamoto that the UFC asked him if he wanted to stay on the card. He said that he was open to it but only for the right matchup

Leon didn't say the UFC guaranteed him a title shot... yeah I don't trust Dana in this situation lmao

Leon said he wants to fight Usman early next year. Say if Chimaev destroys Burns or Luque in December.... yeah Leon aint getting that shot bro lol

Volk saying he’s not gonna wait for Max to play games

I just don’t see that many options right now

I guess the winner of giga and kattar? Or cejudo? Or maybe they try to give Arnold allen a marquee fight with Korean zombie?

volk is acting like there’s a bunch of people waiting in line lol

he wants to fight in March

 

[Cashflow]

Krillin dropped the ball major. I really thought he was going to call out Volk after he starched Dominic. But he pulled that retirement stunt.

 

[xbiker47]

Cejudo gotta be the only other person volk gonna fight instead of max. And even in that case doesn’t cejudo need to put himself back into Usada pool for 6 months prior ??

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah it kinda sucks it worked out like this but at least volk beat Mendes and aldo prior to max.. and then fought Ortega

If giga beats kattar that would be fun. I’d take that next best thing to max

 

[SORIANOTRON]

I’m sure volk not exactly thrilled about fighting max AGAIN

but max has done enough to get that shot, he’s clearly still hungry geez

I’m not mad at a trilogy at all

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If anything it seems like Volk wants the trilogy more than Max right now. He's like "bro, you won, great, now let's do it. why you acting like you don't want it"

Maybe Max is posturing for more money. idk. He legit sounded like he don't care about the trilogy all week and after the fight

Lowkey kinda weird cuz there's no other fights for Max, though he's acting like there are. Conor is gonna be out for a while. There's no way Max should skip Justin or Islam at 155. I doubt Dana let's Max box someone

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If ankalaev wins he has to get a title shot

 

[SORIANOTRON]

max @ 55 talk needs to stop LOL Cmon now dana’s wild but he’s no fool, max at 45 is a cash cow….smoked brisket at 55.

Max sitting pretty right now imo, he’s clearly the #1 contender.
