Maybe he's referring to not fighting again until 2027?

Either way, Khamzat or Adesanya vs DDP will do.

 

[Van Daz]

I thought Izzy was injured.

It's just a bruised ego.

 

[Mammothman]

Khamzat

 

[FreedomCricket]

Not izzy or Alex. Anyone else..

But preferably Khamzat

 

[Khaosan]

I'll stop complaining about UFC 300 if they do DDP vs Izzy and ignore Belal for a shot again.

 

[JohnMandick]

Someone check on Belal and make sure he's alive and OK.

Who?!!

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Should be the Strickland rematch.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Why would that be the fight to make exactly?

Well it’s not but obviously it would sell. UFC fights and rankings never matters.

Fair enough sir.

Dricus looks pretty banged up. Izzy is well rested.

I'd bet on Izzy if this happens at 300

I hope ufc africa is after that for ddp. It's amazing how many times the UFC let the opportunity to break into africa slip by them. Hopefully they don't let this chance slip by too.

I don't like the somewhat quick turn around, but he can still rest another 3 weeks or so before entering an 8 week camp. Hopefully it's enough. His face should be fine, but I'd be more worried about his shins considering how much of a kicker he is.

 

[DjolexMTL]

Anyone but Alex please. That guy can fuck right off

Izzy doesn't deserve it either but of the 2, definitely Adesanya

Fuck right off? He's a champ and Izzy is back to being a 1-2 contender.

Such a garbage take haha

You think Pereira getting a titleshot isn't a garbage take? lol that's cute

 

[NoSmilez]

Izzy is fine but if he can’t make it then I will take a Sean rematch. I will admit this will probably shorten one of their careers.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Anyone but Izzy pls

Imo the logical matches are DDP vs Khamzat/Strickland and Izzy vs whoever doesn't get the title shot

lol, if were going based on merit the most logical fight is none of the above, it's Cannoiner, the only top 5 MW on a winning streak.

 

[DjolexMTL]

You think Pereira getting a titleshot isn't a garbage take? lol that's cute

Thinking Izzy deserves more than Pereira to main event UFC 300 is widly delusional

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Someone call Cannioner

 

[Zarathustra611]

DDP vs Adesanya makes the most sense, they have a lot of material to really build that up and sell it as well

It probably makes the most sense for a "big fight" they need on the card.

You've got the current champ who is on a little win run vs a multiple time former champ. You can sell this fight on quality credentials in that regard. (people will argue on this, i'm not saying this is some superfight of legends, just that you can argue for and sell the fight quality on these lines)

You have a big "draw" in Izzy. Not sure how DDP sells yet but he has an aggressive style so my guess is he'd do ok.

And you have all the controversy and general bad blood to hype up. With the fighters left available I guess this is one of the biggest they can make.

I'd take DDP vs Pereira over DDP vs Adesanya. They're both coming off of losses at MW, but Pereira went up, won twice and became champion. A champion vs champion fight headlining the card is the best fight they can book.
