Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 15, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted December 15, 2021 Not a fight but a signing. Confirmed that Kevin Lee is headed to Khabib's Eagle FC promotion: Quote
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted December 15, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 15, 2021 To add to the above, Lee is going to be competing at 165lbs. Pretty cool to see a new division spawning out of this. Haven't seen anything about 'Welterweight' being 175 lbs but you'd have to assume that's gonna happen. Dana has been fully against it for many years, but if other regional promotions follow suit and fighters are actively competing at the weight, you'd have to expect the UFC to implement it down the road.. Here's hoping anyways. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 15, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted December 15, 2021 yeah, they are adding a 175lb division too, not sure what they divisions will be named? Pretty excited for this, they plan on doing 10 shows in America next year. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted December 16, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 16, 2021 I'm guessing the new division will be light/junior middle or super welter? Quote

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 21, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 21, 2021 Well fuck. I called for that in the 269 thread. Never really expected it to get made though.

Never heard of Silva before his UFC debut this year but I remember looking him up and seeing his knockout over Alexander Shlemenko and being intrigued. And he’s delivered. Since his debut in June he’s gone 3-0 with 3 vicious knockouts and 2 POTN bonuses. Quite a year. He’s 22-6 now with 18 knockouts. Purely because I think it’d be fireworks, I’d like to see Silva against Alex Pereira next but I’m not sure the UFC will want that. They’ll probably be looking to put Pereira on the track towards the Adesanya rematch and Silva might be too much of a risk in the way of that. It’s a fight I’d love to see though. Quote

Here's hoping anyways. A 10lbs jump between weight classes, for me, is the safest and most reasonable approach. I'd love to see it happen across the board. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 22, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted December 22, 2021 given the sheer amount of fighters around now and especially in the UFC its hard to understand why they haven't done it. Quote

I'm sure Ariel Helwani has mentioned it a few times and is in favour of it. Which automatically means that Dana White will never implement it. I would love to have seen Helwani out himself as a huge Trump fan. Dana would have been donating millions to Biden's campaign within days! Quote
