Does this mean Islam won’t fight before Ramadan?

 

[Reach Finesse]

Call me sensitive, but how black people around him can just let him make a mockery, and stereotype blacks with blunt, liquor and duragis shameful.

Chris Curtis is basically Carlton Banks

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Got a feeling we still see Islam fight in March.
He’ll headline the Saudi Arabia fight night card (first week of March) which won’t be a PPV but the UFC will still load it up like a PPV.

you're sensitive. Do you have black friends? the ones I have would think this photo is hilarious

Visa issues

They should resolve those issues before they let him fight for a title.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I wish they'd use the time to get Chimaev a MW fight, but they'll probably shelf him.

Don’t forget he’s injured. That may be the reason for this. If he can’t be ready for January. Then he probably sits out.

The UFC has been trying to get Borz a title fight for a cpl of years. And they fucked it up once already. He will probably just sit out and fight the winner of Strickland/Dricus.

I don’t think the UFC isn’t going to fuck this up again.

 

[Koya]

Canada would never let khamzat in

why allow khamzat when you can call Jonathan Goulet for a comeback

I agree, I think they'll shelf him till they go back to the middle east whether that's Abu Dhabi or Saudi Arabia. I just wish they wouldn't. I'd rather see him fight a ranked MW if he's not next. But they wont take that risk.

Merab is the clear no 1 contender. Shits so dumb.

 

[Dorkman]

Glad DDP getting what he deserves now, Sean vs DDP should be fun

 

[The_Renaissance]

Strickland vs. DDP - Fuck yeah.
Volk vs Topuria - Fuck yeah.
O'Malley vs Vera - fuck off.

Why are we supposed to accept Vera is a title contender when he's proven several times that he isn't?

Looks like they were just having fun.

Khamzat gets the winner in Abu Dhabi

In 2028, at Abu Dhabi Middleweight (192lbs)

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

DDP got privilege

 

[B-Level]

Strickland will make Dricus look like an amateur if the fight makes it to championship rounds

 

[GrantB13]

Thank God Du Plessis didn't get passed over.

 

[svmr_db]

Strickland will make Dricus look like an amateur if the fight makes it to championship rounds

If this was one-nostril DDP I'd agree but two-nostril DDP after the surgery is a PROBLEM!

 

[mma fighter]

Pulling for Strickland in that one! O'malley beats chito, and hope Volk wins.

 

[Doughie99]

I'm guessing Strickland is moving the needle a ton more than they expected and DDP is a legit opponent so it's working out in terms of numbers

this!!!! UFC realized Strickland's rapidly growing popularity. GOOD!!!

Strickland has a Nate Diaz vibe going on. Man of the people.

 

[gentel]

Solid matchmaking other than the Cheato title shot
