More Bare Knuckle MMA, winner fights JDS...

[Egg Shen]

Brace yourselves.. 

 

[Panhead]

When they showed Jamal Hill in the crowd in Saturday, didn't it say 'UFC Light Heavyweight Champion' or am I cracking up? I thought he vacated it a while ago?

Jiri vs Pereira is the one. Fucking love that fight. Maybe the only big 205 fight I actually give a fuck about these days.

Yeah, Hill vacated during International Fight Week according to wiki.

LHW title has taken a bit of a battering since Prochazka took it off Teixeira, eh? First Jiri has to vacate it through injury, then a lacklustre title-decider, then Hill has to vacate through injury.

When Hill recovers, the inevitable Prochazka vs. Hill match should be fun - the two champs who never lost the belt.

Aren’t you forgetting someone? 

[Carbomb]

I know - can only be billed that way if Prochazka wins. Either way, whoever wins, the next match probably makes itself, no?

[wandshogun09]

Yeah, and if Pereira beats Jiri they can spin it as Pereira’s revenge tour for his mate Glover. Jiri and Hill were the last two men to beat Glover before he retired so Pereira sparking them consecutively would be sweet revenge for his mentor plus a second division’s title for Pereira.

Drunken Glover telling Pereira for the 26th time the story about how he got shafted by the judges in '05 against Ed Herman.

I thought it was a while back. I'll have to see if I still have it recorded. 

[wandshogun09]

Cunts. I fucking knew they were gonna do this. Been saying it for ages.

This is interesting though…

Shaping up to one crazy ass card

[WeeAl]

Thought exactly the same when I came across that there. Absolute bastards are completely see through here. A crying shame that chump Paddy is going to have a W over Ferguson. 

[wandshogun09]

If Tony somehow wins it’ll be fucking hilarious though. Thinking they’re setting Paddy up with a nice easy win and he ends up getting D’Arced into oblivion. Yes! I know it’s 2023 and most likely won’t go that way though.

It’s just pathetic. They’re not even trying to be subtle with how much they’re protecting him. I’ve seen people defending it as “making sense” and yeah, it makes sense if you’re the UFC and trying to fool people that Paddy is top tier. But he’s supposed to be this big prospect (Somehow. At 23 fights and 11 years in) and he’s on a winning streak (even though he lost to Jared Gordon last time) yet here he is matched up with a guy who’s on a 6 fight losing streak who’s been finished in his last 3 fights. A win over Tony Ferguson in 2023 tells us nothing. Fuck all. Yet if Paddy wins it’ll be spun as a legit meaningful win and some fans will actually lap that shite up. And Paddy himself is so dense that he’ll still be mega cocky going in, not realising that the UFC matchmaking him like this is hard evidence that they have zero confidence in him.
