krylov is sick, main event cancelled

 

[steevoo1]

Amasov put on a perfect performance. Man's a beast, really want to see him against the UFCs top WWs but I doubt he makes the move. Man's always training with Chimaev in Thailand. I have no doubts he'd be a top title contender.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Didn't even know Bellator event happened already lol smh

I just tuned into the UFC card to watch Suarez and see the Krylov news

 

[steevoo1]

Yeah really only want to see Suarez and Muniz for this card anyways. Muniz should've been in the main event from the start and deserves a bigger fight. Man's on a great run and is a real contender.

That Krylov/Spann fight wouldn't have made it past the 3rd round.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Jesus, I didn't even realize how interesting the Jones Gane card was

Gamrot vs Turner
Bo
Rahkmanov byke
Garbrandt
Brunson vs Dricus

Wow

Wow

Great overall card.

Today's card is the last bad card for a while. Title fights aside, the past few weeks been rough. But next 2 months looking like one of the best run of fights the UFCs ever put on. Every fight night main event is high level with a possible title shot at stake. Then we got big PPV match ups

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Didn't realize Suarez had plans to return to 115. Makes sense to come back without the weight cut

De La Rosa a good litmus test right out the gate

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Suarez with the ode to Patchy! Happy for her

 

[steevoo1]

Really happy for Suarez man. 4 years off right when she was hitting her prime is rough. Hope they just toss her in for a title eliminator next at 115. No time for her to waste just put her back right where she left off.

 

[steevoo1]

Wooowww Allen taps Muniz. Surprised his chin held on some of those shots.

All eyes on Du Plessis next week to see if we finally get new blood in the MW title picture.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I hate to say this. But Dricus seems very meh to me

 

[steevoo1]

Oh he definitely is. Would get beat bad by Izzy, Alex and Rob. It's just nice to have fresh faces fighting for the belt before the eventual rematch carousel.

Also think Alex moves up and stays at 205 win or lose in the Izzy rematch.

 

[xbiker47]

Thabib is back

Can’t believe Muniz got tapped. Props to Allen

 

[spiderjericho]

Talks TUF, the card, Jon, Islam/Volk, etc rematch. Dana White Privilege

[Vincent Van Goat]

If Garbrandt doesn't get a win on Saturday dude being served up a freebie

Bo on the other hand is fighting someone with 20 fights but also the most ideal matchup with an opponent with experience

 

[OTG]

 

[spiderjericho]

I’m glad they’re trying to give the S Korean fans another show with a high profile fight.

Re: Countdown. Loved the GOAT montage at the beginning. Even though we never got Jon/Francis, we get the next best thing. Cyril is definitely 1b at HW. His only question mark is wrestling defense. Besides Stipe and Blaydes, he’s beaten a who’s who in HW.

The women’s FW fight is meh. Definitely want to see Bo. If he wins, who he calls out.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

They really know how to sadden fans in other counties lmao

Zombie doesn’t deserve this, they could have given him a much more manageable opponent coming off such a devastating loss

But sure, I don’t want to see the topuria train get derailed. Between t city, zombie and giga- zombie is clearly the most winnable

 

[xbiker47]

Zombie going out sad

Finally fight week for the return of jon Jones

 

[steevoo1]

Hate it has to be my guy TKZ, but love to see Topuria get an opportunity to break in the top of the division. Top of 145 is about to get a face-lift this year. Ortega and Emmett will get phased out soon with Evloev and JSP coming up.

Assuming they both win, I really hope they dont make Allen and Topuria fight each other for next shot.

 

[spiderjericho]

Some Redditry

 

[jayt1202]

Didn't watch the fight but saw Jake Paul lost, I'd assume a Nate fight is off the table at least for now. Maybe they match him up with some other lesser competition with name value and then re-visit a possible Nate fight.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Pretty boring fight, either guy could have got his hand raised

Both guys not really exciting nor good

I still give it to Paul tho for sleeping dudes that should have been slept

I’m assuming they rematch and it goes to a trilogy

 

[spiderjericho]

Maybe Jake should fight Nate. Probably an easier fight. Win and then rematch Tommy. It’s all about buzz. Also gives him time to grow/train.
