I’d imagine Dana wants to get that deal done before the Miami card just in case masvidal somehow got a win??

Leon gotta start defending in the US if he wants to be a star.

Love Leon but nah keep his *** fighting in the UK. His fighting style will not make him a star. He feels and comes off much bigger with a huge crowd behind him fighting in the UK.
He should only fight in ppvs in the UK while holding the title.

I don’t see how Luke Rockhold doesn’t get knocked out by Mike Perry.
…and I thought Mike Perry sucked as an MMA fighter.

Leon, Aspinal, Pimblett, Molly, etc are the gateway to attracting UK fans. It’s not so much Leon is a star but they want a reason to hold a card. The US vs UK is a perfect headliner. Queue up Colby saying he’ll bring the title back to America, make the WW division great again, and remind the UK fans of 1776.
They haven’t lined up the Yair/Volk fight yet so, depending on how Arnold does against Max, it might be too early to throw him on there. But Tom Aspinall should be ready
Throw Leon, Aspinal, Molly, and a few other up and comers. Perfect card.
I wish we could have more Miami folks on the card next week.

I honestly think it’s time for the UFC to get rid of Joe Rogan.
He doesn’t contribute anything valuable anymore from the standpoint of technical analysis . Frankly I don’t think he really even tries anymore. It’s blatantly obvious that he doesn’t spend any time on film preparation.
People like him because he’s always been there and they think his reactions to big moments are funny. I just watched his call of the Leon Edwards KO of Usman and i thought it was kind of embarrassing.
…there was a time when I couldn’t imagine myself saying this.

He has it in his contract that he is done when Dana is done so he isn’t going anywhere unless he chooses to do so… Can’t expect Dana to ever look at something logically when it comes to one of his friends.

Everyone speaking on Francis
“With all humbleness, I think Ngannou shot himself in the foot,” Aldo said on this week’s episode of the Trocação Franca podcast. “He had everything to sign a great contract, the biggest in heavyweight, but this desire to be a boxing champion or to fight in boxing… People see the top of the boxing pyramid getting paid big numbers but forget that the lower part is paid so little. I think the UFC has bigger salaries than boxing.
“I see Ngannou tripping about a fight with Tyson Fury, a champion, who heavyweights aim at but don’t come anywhere near. It’s like saying I wanna play soccer because they get paid million but forget only five percent gets paid millions, the rest make way below that. People say that the UFC doesn’t pay that well, but it does. That’s why it’s the biggest organization. You can make money like [big] boxers can. Conor [McGregor], Ronda Rousey. People say women don’t make money and she’s made it, right?”

Aldo is a legend and one of my all timers, but we know he's shilling for the ufc. I mean the man hired Ali as management just so he could box in a ******* gamebread promotion.

People always bring up the money aspect like that was even the main problem. My guy Francis was fighting the overall bigger fight for the younger and newer fighters.

What does Ali have to do with Gamebred Boxing?
I missed that part.
And the way the UFC is that was a losing battle for Francis. I think I saw Bellator saying they were out of the Francis business.

I still say if Jones beats stipe in July, you throw the kitchen sink at Francis and you get a Jones/Francis fight done. Biggest fight promotion could make by far.

I’d love to see Francis/Jon. Either Francis becomes the baddest man on the planet or Jon cements his GOAThood!!

Marlon Moraes shouldn't be fighting any more man. Looked so much smaller at 145 too, **** will not end well at all.
Is Burgos in their 145 tournament or 155? Him vs Loughnane could be fun as hell if he's at FW.

I thought burgos is not in the tournament and he was part of their ppv push. I could be wrong though

Man I don't even know. Tbh their whole format is still ******* confusing as hell to me

Talent wise, they have a way to go. But I like their format. I also like they’re diversifying so we can get money fights as well as a tournament.

I get that it’s a tournament so fighters have less turnaround time but I don’t really care for the banning of elbows in PFL

^ wwe and ufc going to be one public company
think it is an all stock purchase and shares going to be adjusted based on what they paid wwe for
ufc can take something from wwe. hopefully, the scripts will be better and they can build up individual stars.
