The Trenches, Episode 16 Poll: What is the best fight the UFC could put on in 2019?

[BerrySmartGuy2]

Jones vs Smith? Really? Aint no one got time for that. You can throw in Corey and Santos into that mix. Let Jones fight Rockhold or DC or move up. Screw these weak fights for juicehead

 

[Turtlejuice]

Ant Walker vs Jason Burgos imo.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Ant Walker vs Jason Burgos imo.

I can confirm we are actively trying to set up that fight on UFC 3. When it's more concrete, we'll make a thing out of it.

Where is whittaker adesnaya?

It'd be one heck of a fight, but we didn't put it up there because both fighters have to win for that to happen (whittaker against gastelum, adesanya against silva). The ones listed are all open/possible matchups that can just be made without anything getting in the way.

Tony/Khabib has 125 votes at last count. The other TEN FIGHTS COMBINED have 45 votes.

Yet amazingly we had a very vocal contingent of Khabib fans here recently saying how Tony was "ducking" Al Iaquinta LMAO and that he shouldn't wait for Khabib's suspension to even be announced. Wonder what they were afraid of?

 

[Bmurray]

Maybe they tricked us by denying Ferg v Khabib so many times, but I really want to see that
I'd love to see Yoel vs DC at 205
Jones vs Overeem

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Hearing what Ant has to say about the events he covers is always interesting to me.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

The Ant Walker fan club is alive!

 

[JayPettryMMA]

So should we get Jon Jones with a goatee, a la evil mirror version?

 

[europe1]

The Ant Walker fan club is alive!

Yeah but if he's going to make a heel-turn and start calling himself the IRS or the Taxman that club will vanish amidst hatred pretty quickly

 

[abedm]

jon jones needs to get called out for not going to heavy weight to fight comier since dc
came down to light weight for jj

 

[europe1]

Jon Jones just need to be called out for the roids.

 

[europe1]

Question: Is Jon Jones even self-aware enough to play a heel-role?

Boy that's a tough one.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

I still don't know why people want to see Lesnar fight again. It's like Nick Diaz...just why?

*Wu-Tang bow in Jason and Ant's direction

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Nah, that story is turinaboloney.
