David Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 You sure? Everything I've read says that "both fighters released from their current contract and given permission to immediately sign with the other promotion" but I've also seen a few murmurings that once said release is signed, neither company could actually enforce where the fighters go. I'm sure they'll swap over honestly enough, but it'll be interesting in future to see if anyone takes the release and then fucks off elsewhere.

David Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well, if Dana is to be believed it's T-Ferg up next for Khabib; Quote  UFC president White says he should face American lightweight Tony Ferguson on his return. "Tony Ferguson is the right fight," he added. "It's the fight to make. It obviously depends on the suspension and what happens - we'll see."   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted October 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 30, 2018 Dana is absolutely right there. There's no fight in the division at the moment that is more important to try and make happen, than Khabib Vs T-Ferg. If those two don't fight whilst both are still in their prime, it'll be a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 30, 2018 Yeah Khabib vs Ferg is the Fedor vs Cro Cop of the lightweight division for me. It’s the fight that must happen. And soon before one of them actually falls apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 We'll undoubtedly get a sub-standard card that will look like 80% Cage Warriors, but be charged Vegas PPV ticket prices as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2018 Askren's saying he's down for fighting Till in London. Remember, of course we all know Askren and that's a big fight to us but Askren isn't a big name yet as far as the UFC is concerned. He's certainly no bigger of a name than Fabricio Werdum, Anderson Silva, Michael Bisping or Alexander Gustafsson who all headlined Fight Nights at the O2 over the last few years. And Till's coming off the loss to Woodley so a fight back on home soil makes sense. It's the perfect main event for London. I also think it's a lot more realistic than people think. And Askren bowling into enemy territory and ragging Till around like a dog playing with a toy then cutting a promo on the whole division would be a hell of a debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Are we assuming that he just wrecks Till? I think Till could actually beat him. In fact, I think Till beats most guys who aren't named Tyron Woodley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2018 isnt Till moving to Middleweight anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted November 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2018 I'm not too sold on it. Feels like you're gonna lose some shine off one of them. I'm sure the UFC see Till as the next UK star. 2 losses in a row ain't gonna look too great for him. I reckon he needs to be nursed back gently.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Bifkin Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Yeah Till needs someone who will stand and bang with him next fight. I don't see it ending well for him against Funky Ben whatever the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted November 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2018 Till needs to move up to Middleweight and not worry about trying to make that cut to Welter anymore. Out of the MW's that are available, I would pair him up with Urijah Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2018 Be an interesting one. Till showed v Woodley he's actually pretty decent at stuffing takedowns, just Woodley is so bloody elite at not taking damage and getting his shit in, he didn't stand a chance. Of course, Askren is proper next level wrestling, but Till is huge come fight night. If it's a lot of stand up, you fancy Till has a significant edge. Till is definitely top 5 WW in the world, right now. If Askren breezes past him then there can be no questions about him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
