I've never been more happy to see a fighter win (been watching mma since before ufc) than Michael Chandler vs Dan Hooker. I think Chandler is the best and I know he will beat Khabib.

On that note, my opinion... Khabib is on an incredible tear but has not wiped out the division - far from it! So the poundforpound #1 fighter is bullshit!

Jon Jones is the best poundforpound. I'm not even a big fan of him, I just think he's proved himself more than anyone in this sport. I can't believe he got out of that armbar Beltort had him in... he is amazing!

What were you watching before UFC? Japanese fights and cards from overseas? I watched UFC1 live on ppv.

Thanks for calling me out on that... Pride wasn't before the UFC.

Nah, but Pride developed a lot of fighters that later helped revamp the UFC mid early part of 2000. A lot of my favorites are Pride guys. I get you. Those were great days for MMA

@Boru420 did you see how much weight Ribas got back overnight after the weigh-ins? 30lbs in 24 hours maybe? Pic was from Saturday am sometime ( or roughly 24 hours after weigh ins)Amazing what these fighters put their bodies through

Dm me if /when that fight happens I want this action . Provided Khabib hasn’t been on a year plus lay off . I will reevaluate if so.

Doesn't it make since that its going to be Poirier vs Oliveria? for the title? Maybe Chandler vs Felder is a good fight. Or do Gatche vs Chandler? Having a hard time thinks about who should be the title fight at 155lbs. Thoughts?

 

[Brettman]

Poirier & Oliveira makes the most sense for the belt.

 

[SpaceGrease]

Listening to Poirier’s post fight interview on Chandler leads me to believe that all the title contenders feel same way . One fight then title shot @ a vacant belt,naw .

 

[athlete]

All these guys are in title the shot picture...

I don't want to see Dustin or Justin for the title based on how they lost their last title bout.

But this is the UFC! An entertainment company...

Given Poirer's win over McGregor, it will be Poirer vs someone.

Gotta be Olivera.

It should be Chandler vs Poirer because everyone has eyes on them given how they won their last fights - on the same card!

What do you guys think about Volkanovski vs Ortega? Im excited to see.

Is that fight booked ?

 

[Brettman]

I got Ortega winning but with a catch , he misses weight.

 

[a mongo frog]

Is that fight booked ?

Yes.

 

[athlete]

He hasn't fought in 2 years? I'm certain he'll make weight.

I hope Ortega wins. It will provide Max a quicker comeback and then probably a thrilling trilogy with Alexander.

Who?

Ok. I thought Ortega struggles to make 45.

Didn't he miss weight vs the Zombie? I could be wrong but he's a tall guy.
