Where you at Jorge? time to step up.

The card was too good to be true. It had to have one of these, to bring it back to reality.

I kept checking the main fighters' social media pages to see if everyone had landed safely on the island... Ugh.

 

[El General]

Can someone that isn’t on the card already even step in?

With all the protocols in place I doubt it.

Where you at Jorge? time to step up.

Never on a week's notice....

Quote me if he actually does. He wont.

Izzy x Paulo and Usman x Masvidal in September

I'm really not feeling these multiple Abu Dhabi cards at the current moment... I seriously hope I'm just fuzzy from the corona lockdown

Where you at Jorge? time to step up.

Doubt he can make the weight.

Colby/Masvidal for an interim belt would be pretty great

Lol, fuck no, Burns should be clear of the virus in a couple of days, they could reschedule the fight for 252 or 253.

2020 ...

They've both claimed to want to step up, but I doubt UFC pays both divas what they'd be asking for, for a short notice fight of that relevance.

UFC is not going to offer any more money, card still has 2 title fights, even if not the most interesting ones.

Damn it

That is not how it goes. The virus could stay in him for a shit load of time. This isn't as linear as you think.

 

[Chael_Sonnen]

Dude please don't joke about that... Well it's sherdog, nothing is sacred, but you just awakened some very unpleasant feelings.

Yeah, I get your point, I was pretty hesitant to joke about it myself TBH.
I've removed it. Thanks for your feedback.

I just think the UFC should perhaps keep the Brazilian fighter bookings low at this time because so many of them are testing positive, Brazil is over-run with COVID currently largely due to Bolsanaro's stubborn idiocy.

I hope the first Abu Dhabi card is still entertaining and everyone puts on a show.

Seems like they'll just re-schedule Usman vs Burns for another date soon. Prob the best thing. Nobody gonna be as disappointed at Burns right now.

Stick to MMA I have a feeling you know that better than how the Coronavirus works
