Brian Ortega: UFC has a replacement fighter for Max Holloway at UFC 231

[Vulcan]

it's moicano

 

[Killashaw]

Is there a different replacement if ORTEGA doesn't make weight, gets injured tripping over a cable, gets phantom glass in his eye, or finds some other reason to not get the beating of his LIFE from Mad Max? #ITISWHATITIS

Probably yeah. But not Aldo, maybe Moicano, Edgar or Mendes. I'd love to see Mendes against Holloway.
I've always thought a full camp Mendes beats anyone besides Aldo and Edgar.

 

[Vatenkeist]

I imagine the UFC would be willing to shuffle that around, but I could be wrong.

UFC gonna pull another 230? lol. They'd rather make women the victim bullshit in this modern world.

Hope its alvarez. He always shoulda been a FW.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

1 Brian Ortega

2 Jose Aldo

3 Frankie Edgar

4 Renato Moicano

5 Chad Mendes

Gotta be either Aldo, Edgar, Moicano or Mendes I would think.

I goddamn hope it's BJ PENN.

 

[humdizzle]

probably moicano or edgar.

but i'd love to see zabit in there.

 

[jaykah]

It’s Eddie Alvarez

said he’s dropping down for the chance

Hope its alvarez. He always shoulda been a FW.

Wait what, didn't Eddie just sign a contract with One FC?

 

[VinceArch]

Wait what, didn't Eddie just sign a contract with One FC?

He did. It's just wishful thinking on their part.

 

[Killashaw]

Wait what, didn't Eddie just sign a contract with One FC?

He did. They're just fooling around.

 

[Irresponsible Dad]

He did. It's just wishful thinking on their part.

Hopes and dreams

 

[jaykah]

He did. It's just wishful thinking on their part.

He did. They're just fooling around.

Yea, for a moment there I thought that I'd missed some major news of his One FC deal being cancelled or something.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Pretty sure that is either Moicano or Mendes who are in the same card.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Good news that they have a replacement ready. UFC should try to do this with all major title fights.

 

[Spycho]

AHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA I hope not lmaooooo

I have nothing against the idea of Cody getting choked the fuck out, to be honest.

 

[Airdack]

Holloway, Aldo, and possibly Ortega are all thinking about moving to 155 in the near future IIRC.

They weigh just as much as McGregor, for the record.

This what I never understood. Why aren't Ortega and Holloway called for beating "midgets", both cut a ton of weight.

Then we have Khabib, missed weight, dropped out of fight due to fucked cut, and has a fucking seizure making weight. Doesn't get called out for ragdolling smaller LWs.

Wish there was some consistency with the mma fans at least.

 

[ookii]

I don't think its Frankie. He has nothing to gain from beating Frankie again and risk the chance of losing. He will turn it down like the last time

 

[awymore]

Good stuff

If Max misses weight or is hospitalized again he should be forced to move up to 55.

Agreed. That shit is ridiculous. Looks like one of the extras in Unbroken

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

Dillashaw

 

[Uber_Noober]

Is Ortega bringing back members only jackets?

 

[dildos]

mendes got removed from the moicano fight. so could it be him?

either way, ill be bummed if max doesnt make it to the fight. but he was had issues making it to his last 3 fights i think? it will suck if we dont get to see max vs ortega.
