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

[xbiker47]

Dana doesn’t care about promoting like he should. Look at how the damn rollout for Jones/Gane happened. It’s a joke and super frustrating as a die hard fan who wants to see the biggest fights and the company do its job building the hype and storyline.

 

[spiderjericho]

Good point.

It’s the return of Jon Jones after three freaking years for the HW championship of the world.

I didn’t even realize the Islam/Volk fight was next week

 

[steevoo1]

Dana hasn't done a proper press/promo tour since Conor/Aldo. He hasnt cared for a long time. With how long the travel time is, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't even at the PPV.

Fight should feel so much bigger. It's a super fight with 2 of the (arguably) top 3 fighters in your promotion right now.

 

[spiderjericho]

He technically was there for the Conor/Mayweather world tour.

He also made sure the instigator wasn’t any where near him for the fight.

I low key wish they’d get a new promoter. He can still be the president. Just have someone new bring hype and excitement for these cards.

Wtf. I had no idea lol, this is seriously crazy

Wtf. I had no idea lol, this is seriously crazy

Yea I honestly thought it was months from now. Guess Islam has a point.

When was the last time we had p4p 1 vs 2?

 

[spiderjericho]

Can’t remember off the top of my head.

It’s actually wild when folks from the P4P List fight each other.

Leon/Usman 2. Leon/Usman 3. Holloway/Volk 3. DC/JBJ 2. Amanda/Valentina. Cyborg/Amanda. Weili/Rose.

 

[steevoo1]

When was the last time we had p4p 1 vs 2?

Pretty sure Jones/DC. They were easily considered the 2 best fighters in the promotion at that time.

We’ll I guess September Vegas card will be Conor return

 

[spiderjericho]

Did they say what will host TUF? ABC, ESPN or ESPN+?

I can see Chandler getting on McGregor’s nerves.

Good for Chandler. Good opportunity. A bag. He’ll probably be willing to stand even though he could use wrestling.

Also dope that the April card is in Miami.

 

[Fong$tarr]

Man. Chandler is going to wreck Connor. The Tony fight would have been easier at this point.

 

[whtascene]

Red panty night for Chandler then.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This is the right fight to make for TUF

It doesn't sideline anyone relevant to the belt (merit based) but still big names

 

[xbiker47]

TUF is suppose to air Tuesday nights on espn and espn+

I guess good timing since nothing really on besides baseball at that time of the year anyway

 

[xbiker47]

Man. Chandler is going to wreck Connor. The Tony fight would have been easier at this point.

Really afraid you’re right

 

[spiderjericho]

When he wins, it’s a highlight reel for Chandler.

I mean Conor hasn’t really won in awhile but when he does, it’s a finish (besides Max and Diaz 2).

I’ll just tune into social media clips for the TUF highlights.

 

[boxer15]

Don’t hold your breath for Conor. Last time he coached TUF he was able to weasel out of fighting Faber. Wouldn’t be surprised if Dana lets him do the same for another unearned title shot.

 

[steevoo1]

That Tofiq/Alex fight is going to be straight violence

 

[steevoo1]

That Conor/Mike has to be at 170 right?
