[Randy Jo]

Lmao...Esparza on ufc 300 goooooodddd one

 

[Greg House]

Who the fuck is fluffy? Can we please stick to last names instead of nicknames? Or do I have to remember that shit too? There's like 600 fighters in the UFC and they hire 150 new ones every year, help me out here, dude.

No way they do this on a fight night, even in Saudi Arabia
UFC FN, MAR 2nd (Saudi Arabia):
Islam vs Charles 2
Gaethje vs Gamrot (5 rounds)

 

[OldBoy91]

Fuck Jones vs Stipe for 304.

Put Aspinall vs Stipe for UFC 300 and the winner fights Jones.

If they didn't do it for november while would they do it now? Jones won't fight anyone else.

 

[FreedomCricket]

Can you mark which fights are signed and/or announced and which ones are your guesses

 

[OldBoy91]

If they didn't do it for november while would they do it now? Jones won't fight anyone else.

They probably won't. I'm talking about what SHOULD happen and what I want to see.

Aspinall defends the interim title against Stipe at UFC 300, which he has called for and makes all the sense in the world. Stipe is for and has been in camp, so we know he's ready. Aspinall said April is when he wants to fight again.

Either make Jones fight the winner, or strip him.

If Stipe loses but Jones still wants to fight him, they can fight for just the legacy or they can make up some other BS belt like they did with the BMF.

I hope it happens too. It's a good move for Tom to fight Stipe. Hard for Jones to come back to "fight him for the title" when he had just lost for it and the guy that beat him is calling out Jones. Outstanding move.

2-time Champ & future HOFer, show some respect. Also Andrade fights are incapable of sucking

 

[JoeRowe]

Fuck Jones vs Stipe for 304.

Put Aspinall vs Stipe for UFC 300 and the winner fights Jones.

Yeah I'm just being realistic. We have to view Jones/Stipe in the same vain(vein?)that Dana said Colby was getting the next title shot. Sucks but let's keep it real.

UFC FN, MAR 2nd (Saudi Arabia):
Islam vs Charles 2
Gaethje vs Gamrot (5 rounds)

Fluffy Hernandez. Can't remember his first name but he has some very solid wins.

Depends on how much Saudi is paying, and Islam is asking for March. Ppl like Mike Heck & James Lynch have speculated Islam may fight in Saudi & they're more plugged in than we are.
