News Dana White: Paulo Costa vs. Khamzat Chimaev On the Verge of Being CANCELLED.

[Spam On Rye]

If this happens they need to cut Costa and Hazmat should still be forced to take a fight but with whom?

 

[chinarice]

Khamzat vs Izzy for the next TS after DDP vs Strickland. Lets go.

Khamzat shouldn't be penalized for this. I called this shit way back when they had their little back and forth like 2 years ago. I said Costa would never fight Khamzat and here we are 2 years later and he's hightailing it outta there because he knows he was going to get embarrassed

You're lucky @Poirierfan because you were losing that bet with me.

What's the reason??

Izzy didn't pull out out of Costa on time, so he is still butthurt/injured

 

[west42]

Is there a way to look up my own posts from the past few months? I swear there was a turd thread talking about how Costa was going to destroy Chimaev and I said Costa wouldn't even show up.

It's like the one person Dana should actually not be friends with

But everybody was saying Costa wasn't show up. Not much of a brag

I don't see any replacement fight which would excite me more..... I really dont....

Agreed. I don’t even know what viable options there are. Maybe they could cancel that Paul Craig-Brendan Allen fight that’s a few weeks away, and Khamzat could fight one of them? I have no idea.

I’d love to see Dolidze step in, but since he’s booked for December I’m assuming he’s not in fight shape.

 

[ChimRichalds]

Oh fuck off with this horse shit.

 

[ChimRichalds]

They need to put Cannonier in there. Fight would be excellent.

I'm not sure Cannonier is getting down to 185 at this point, but I like that fight more than Khamzat/Costa.

 

[Tweak896]

Funny how people will hop off the Costa train if he's not fighting Khamzat. I wish someone like Cannonier would take the fight.

 

[funksoulbrother]

Get bo nickal in there

 

[jenst]

Costa was already in the ME training and committed..

This is the part I don't understand, he's spending a LOT of money of there at the moment. Only an emergency would make sense for a cancelation.

 

[mjfan23]

Costa ducking khamzat. Re-confirmed

The UFC likely just found out about his elbow surgery….

 

[Bearknuckle]

Chen Chen paying UFC to force Chad Costa outta the fight.

Now the ufc can match chen chen up with a last minute replacement for him to crush.

 

[AppliedScience]

Agreed. I don’t even know what viable options there are.

Problem solved:

 

[kneebartotheface]

It hasn't actually been confirmed yet though has it?
Even though Dana said many hours ago. That they would know in a few...

 

[Mammothman]

Costa is the biggest bitch in the UFC, all that trash talk just to pull out.

 

[brody_in_ga]

Watch the UFC put Kevin Holland in to replace Costa.... haha

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Going to be very difficult to find someone who wants to fight khamzat on short notice.

 

[BFoe]

Problem solved:

Jesus, kill me now. Let’s hope they don’t book that.
