The Official MMA Thread: UFC FIGHT NIGHT IN RIYADH - ISRAEL ADESANYA VS. NASSOURDINE IMAVOV: RETURN OF THE KING OR RISE OF THE IMAVOV - 2/1 @ 9AM EST

[spiderjericho]

Yooooo

Rash of fight cancellations. June a bad month for the UFC.

Hopefully they got better luck in July (Barber/Rose, Unknown versus Unknown and the Manchester card).

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Damn Hill/Ulberg may be off now too!?! 303 could be in shambles. But hey UFC known for making last minute changes if things initially look bad.

Bummed if Khamzhat can't go though.

all the names we’ve been waiting for are off, this is insane

 

[Zainjal26]

We need Poirer vs Islam rematch ufc 303




Set it up Dana

 

[SORIANOTRON]

He’s the Russian mcgregor

How so?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

WHOA

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

WHOA to ikram vs whittaker

 

[jayt1202]

Put me to title shot?!? Says the guy who's lost 4 of 5 and has no wins over active UFC fighters lol.

 

[joebo21]

Chimaev is gonna end up being another Zabit.. what could of been

No brainer for Ikram to try to jump in there. Fast track to a title shot if he takes out Bobby

 

[Zainjal26]

How so?

Talks so much **** to fighters online. Never fights

 

[OTG]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

ok so this is now official... WHOA

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

How does the **** really hit right now. Come on man. It must be bad

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Talks so much **** to fighters online. Never fights

Connor talked all the **** and backed all of it up.

You new here?

you know he snapped his leg IN HALF a year ago right?

and before that fought cowboy and dustin 2x AFTER he made a trillion dollars

cats just be hatin cuz its trendy.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If ikram pulls this off which I think he very well could it’s gonna be crazy to see him most likely cut Chimaev in line

I’m assuming izzy ddp is next

I am not sure if they will put whittaker in a title fight even if he wins

I feel like they’ll keep Strickland and Whittaker in the bullpen in case they need someone… but ikram has the inside track even tho he’s literally an unknown.. I feel like they were trying to push his name

Meanwhile chimaev should just fight Strickland when he’s good

 

[atransta]

Vince, I like that Strickland vs khamzat match up since khamzat had to sit out cuz of an illness

This entire IFW situation is wild. UFC usually thrive in these situations but 300 really messed them up for big named last minute replacements. Can only see O'Malley being the biggest name for IFW to accommodate those wild ticket prices. I'm sure if the numbers right he would take it. We already know Merab would in a heartbeat.

Askrens said he's heading to NZ next week for Izzys camp. DDP/Izzy probably aint moving off that Perth date.

This probably would've been his first Conor fight tbh. I feel for the folks who ain't witness that 2014-16 live. I don't like the guy personally but that run was special. Never in a boring fight and the events were always a spectacle.

[Fong$tarr]

Ortega vs Lopes…..wow.
