Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 19, 2019 I hope Wood smashes the annoying little pocket sized OJ Simpson. Would’ve been a nice addition to the London card actually but they’ve given Dodson hometown advantage instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he did save the division afterall because they are moving in without him. edit* fight announcements coming thick and fast: Â Edited December 20, 2019 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 20, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2019 Yeah, Whittaker vs Cannonier is a great fight. That 248 card is looking good already with this fight and Zhang vs Jedrzejczyk for the title. I’ve read rumours that Adesanya vs Romero might land on that one as well. That would make sense to have Adesanya/Romero and Whittaker/Cannonier on the same card just incase someone drops out and they need a back up. Also, by process of elimination I think this booking all but confirms that we’ll be seeing Darren Till vs Jack Hermansson as the London headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 I dont like that fight for Till, id have preffered Whitaker or Cannonier for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 23, 2019 Reading in a few places that Kevin Lee vs Islam Makhachev is in the works for UFC 249 in April. That’ll be the Khabib vs Ferguson undercard. Great fight. Lee has already signed apparently, just waiting on Makhachev and it’s a done deal. He’s saying he’s not been offered the fight yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Apparently, Gilbert Burns has been offered the co-main event spot against Demian Maia on the Brasilia Fight Night in March. That’s according to a Canadian MMA writer on Twitter anyway. Nothing concrete yet but that’s the plan it seems. I love that fight if it comes off. These are the only kind of matchups I want to see Maia in at this point. These elite grappler vs elite grappler battles. Of course sometimes it’ll result in dull stalemates like Maia vs Jake Shields. But they’re still interesting to see and I loved the Ben Askren fight. Makes sense for Burns as well. He’s won his last 4 in a row and stepped in on short notice in his last couple of fights and won against tough opposition in Gunnar Nelson and Alexey Kunchenko. It’s only right that the UFC reward him with a fight against a top name. Love this fight. Hopefully it happens.  Edit - Nicolas Dalby vs Danny Roberts added to UFC London now according to MMA Junkie. Great fights coming in thick and fast. Edited December 23, 2019 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 26, 2019 MMA Junkie are reporting that Tyron Woodley vs Leon Edwards has been verbally agreed to on both sides to headline the London card in March. It’s been in the pipeline for a while, that one. I like it. If Woodley wins he’s right back on track, if Edwards wins he’ll be pretty much undeniable for a crack at the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Excellent headliner for the card. Are tickets already on sale for this? Or sold out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
