News Alexander Volkanovski vs. Max Holloway 2 expected to headline UFC 251

[DaleBoca]

What happens to Max if he loses? Dude isn’t 30 yet and he sounds like a Hawaiian Chuck.

 

[felmmando]

Don't care for it, but it's not as if there's a healthy, concise #1 who's getting burned here.

Concise? How many verbose fighters are there in the division? Or in the sport, for that matter?

 

[pick999]

So stupid

 

[Anewt]

Volkanovski v Holloway
Shevchenko v Calderwood
Whittaker v Till
Porier v Hooker
Tuivasa v Tafa

Book it, Dana

Tafa n Tuivasa won't fight each other. Training partners. Other than that im keen

 

[Gamer007]

Hopefully max can reclaim his throne, but I get the feeling this rematch is happening too soon.

He should have took a #1 contender fight, Volkanovski is a really tough matchup.

 

[omawho402]

That's too bad

 

[Mammothman]

The dumbest title rematch in recent years

 

[wearetheromans]

Oh yay, pointless hematch

 

[Evangelion]

Immediate rematches for clear cut victories make zero sense. Now Volkanovski has to beat Holloway twice in a row before moving on, whereas Holloway just has to go 1 from 2.

Korean Zombie deserves the shot.

*edit*
KZ is injured.

I dont think it's a coincidence this comes out the day we find out KZ is out until at least summer. With Zabit on 249 Max is the only other option.

 

[empsim]

instant rematches are such BS

 

[Stalingrad9]

I'd really like to see Max take a little more rest idk

 

[LetThemBleed]

My dream card for this.

Volk vs Max 2
Zhang vs Joanna
Both sound close to confirmed.

Whittaker vs Till
Hooker vs Poirier.

Prelims - Crute, Ridell, Matthews

Didn’t they already confirm Valentina and Calderwood? Not getting 3 title fights fam plus isn’t Zhang fighting Joanna at 248?

The dumbest title rematch in recent years

I'm not crazy about it but I have to admit people with a weaker claim to a rematch have gotten one.

 

[ScarfaceJr]

Why?

 

[Fadetoblack918]

Always rooting for Max.

 

[SamboPunch]

ok this fight does not need to happen.... I get rematches when the fight is close, heck even if it's edged out by one guy clearly I don't mind it. but when one guy gets beat as bad as he did, he needs to at least win another big fight. it's way too easy these days to be champ.

 

[Kono dio da!]

FUCK Dana white, Sean Shelby and the the UFC for this.

 

[davidlemonparty]

FUCKING PERTH BRO

Agreed. That's some shady shit right there.

 

[dildos]
