Nate walking out might have been the best PR for the event so far Apparently they have already had some pressers for this 3 days ago, but I hadn't seen anything about it

There's a lot of discussion about how long you gotta recover after a KO - and maybe Volk's 3-4 months was not enough Would 6 months rest have made a big difference? Is the medical community in agreement that resting 6, 9 or 12 months after a KO makes a huge difference compared to only 4...

Meh. The headline makes it sound different than when you listen to it - and he basically says "I prefer Volk over Max" It is not an insane statement. Volk was the a solid reigning FW champ. I mean yeah we're all hyped as hell on Max and we think Volk is past prime and got concussed too many...

I don't think Jamal looked scared in the cage (at least not anywhere near Megan Anderson scared) He even interacted with Alex' walk out performance

Even if they concluded no one does well after 13 years of a good career - people can still argue that has nothing to do with being out of their physical prime. You can argue it's more about "you're gonna be bested sooner or later if you fight at the elite level long enough" - it might have...

> Everyone's primes are the same. Everyone accumulates the same injuries. Everyone trains the same. Max and Jose both got in motorcycle accidents. Max and Jose both kept sparring. > When your favourite fighters start losing, they are past their prime. When fighters you dislike start losing...

You just said it. Justin got pieced up so he figured there was a high risk of losing on the scorecards - and was happy to get a good shot at a win by finish

Yes. They wanna avoid showing that. But they don't seem super desperate over it - for example haven't heard that they are now sour on Islam and wanna prevent him from fighting or anything like that. And they still want Khabib back (as he was asked for 300 of course) - despite also waving the...

But Islam and Khabib aready already talking about Palestine and wearing Palestine flags on their shoulders and Khamzat is also talking about Palestine Sure - UFC doesn't like that and wants to get less of it. But since they still promote Islam, Khamzat and Khabib actively - it can't be a...

I don't necessarily think Belal being left out of the plans for 300 means all that much for the future. Those last minute UFC 300 talks were special: they needed one exciting main, and fans were joking "LOL what if Belal is the main". I think there's still a chance Belal vs Leon can happen. On...

Makes sense as most of the rest of the possible title contenders are not options. Cannonier was just booked, Whittaker vs Khamzat is booked, and I never thought they'd prefer Izzy over an immediate rematch with Strickland

Yeah, didn't hear that either. Luque should be forced to quit. Hadn't heard of Nick Blackwell so googled it and turns out he's not a vegetable anymore. After the coma he was in a wheelchar and had super slurry speech for a while. But after many years of rehab he can now walk and speak nearly...

Don't forget Conor bullshits al the time. * Aug2023 - he said he'd fight Chandler in December...yet he didn't enter USADA testing pool until October, and they require 6 months (and they were still in as til Jan 1st 2024)

No. People forget Poatan and Jon are the same age. Jon got the LHW strap when he was 24, and over 9 years he fought 14 more LHW title fights. And legacy wise there's not a lot of big names at LHW. Not like when Jon started with huge names like Shogun, Rampage, Rashad

Solid bet. At first I thought "isn't there a ton of non brazilians on brazil cards?" but after looking up 10 UFC events in brazil I think all of them had a brazilian (or brazilianish, like Dern) in every single main event fight, but one or two.

So unlikely. 301 is on May 4th, less than 3 months from Costa's last loss in February. Costa hasn't fought more than once per year since 2017 and is notoriously hard to negotiate with. And Khamzat said he's not really looking at a spring return, he's aiming for summer

UFC would love to find a way to give Khamzat a title shot * On instagram he's the most followed non-champ and the 5th most followed of all active UFC fighters (after Conor, Izzy, Jon, Islam) * Dana said Usman vs Khamzat would be a title eliminator. Knowing Khamzat was a favorite against a...

True. To some extent his inactivity is due to health issues * Was gonna fight Leon in late 2020 but got covid, * Was rescheduled to march of 2021 but turned out it was long covid so had to cancel again * Then fought 3 times with 6 months in between (Jingliang, Burns, Holland) and was gonna fight...

I feel like half of comments are are "Bring back some guys for a one-off nostalgia fight" but half are "There's not enough at stake. Max vs Justin is kinda pointless, fuck the BMF gimmick, I want more meaningful fights! We needed one more title fight"

They aren't far apart but I don't think 299 is better. Even if we remove Weili vs Xiaonan and UFC300 is comparable or slightly better, fight by fight * Pereira vs Hill is similar to O'Malley vs Vera * Oliviera vs Tsarukyan a bit better than Dustin vs BSD - Tsarukyan is ranked higher * Max vs...
