Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 29 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 29 It's another solid night of fights. Special mention to Marc Chamberlain, going from being a York Hall regular to landing what looks like regular spots on these Saudi mega cards. According to the broadcast last time out he's Uncle Turki's favorite fighter, the lad's landed on his feet. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossman Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I thought Joe Cordina wanted super fights or unification bouts?! My boxing knowledge has slipped recently,Ā but I've never heard of Anthony Cacace. Ranked 11th with the IBF supposedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 30 Paid Members Share Posted March 30 Cacace is not a bad fighter. This will definitely be a step up for him and I think Cordina should win but its not a bad fight.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 31 Paid Members Share Posted March 31 Another Heavyweight main event. This is the St Louis card as well. Not even the Apex. Imagine buying tickets for a Rodrigo Nascimento main event?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members WeeAl Posted April 15 Paid Members Share Posted April 15 Both those fall on weekends that I'll be working, meaning spoilers will have to be attempted to be avoided until at least Sunday night or Monday morning. That'll be pretty hard to do for the McGregor fight.Ā Did they make the Dustin Poirier fight before UFC 300, during the show or after?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted April 15 Paid Members Share Posted April 15 Tsurukyan's manager has said he was offered the Islam fight immediately after backstage but turned it down to the short turn around time.Ā You have to imagine Dustin found out about the Islam fight the same time as everyone else did.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Dana will turn on Tsarukyan now and claim he ādidnāt want the fightā but who knows what heās got going on physically and/or in his personal life. For him to pass on a title shot, there must be a good reason. And to be fair, turning straight back around into another training camp isnāt ideal. Heās been waiting to break through in the title mix for a while now and heās already 0-1 down to Makhachev. Heād be a fool to accept the fight now if he feels like he canāt get a proper camp in. If he said yes and lost the fight, then heās 0-2 to Islam and who knows when heād get another shot?Ā You want a full, dedicated and very specific training camp for a guy like Makhachev. And with the show only being about 6-7 weeks away on June 1st, itās not ideal. Especially if heās got any injuries from this UFC 300 camp Ā or the fight itself. Or even just fearing he might overtrain doing back-to-back camps. But yeah, blindsiding fighters straight after fights to ānegotiateā the next fight is bullshit. Hereās my favourite example of that backfiring spectacularlyā¦ Ā Edited April 15 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
