I'm on it, champ. Getting back to you when fighters sign

those would all be awesome fights... but everyone knows we aren't even getting half

 

[leto1776]

I’d rather see the two women champs defend against their top contenders, but that’s me

 

[Skarsgard]

Tom vs Almeida. Gane has had enough gifted title shots.

 

[Thy]

it does feel like i'm waiting longer for fights we know are gonna happen to be confirmed lately. Who knows. maybe i've just become less patient. I'm not gonna do the math.

 

[ChrisBenoit]

Tom vs Gane Vegas in October with Mareb vs. Cory co main

JDM vs. Islam in Abu dhabi

Ank vs. Alex 2 in MSG with Shevchenko vs. Zhang Co main

Harrison vs. Nunes in December

fights subject to change

Why not? None of these involve Jones or Conor so they seem highly likely. Chances are injury ruins one of them though

 

[JoeRowe]

I agree but we know Gane will get the next shot

Tom vs Almeida. Gane has had enough gifted title shots.

This seems about right, except I could see Ank in Abu-Dhabi & JDM in NYC, simply because JDM & Ank are the champs and have all the leverage. Also JDM fought pretty recently so he may want the extra 3 weeks off.

If nothing else both JDM & Ank could leverage some extra money out of the UFC to fight in front of crowds that will be rooting against them.

I think Volk ends up on the DEC card too. He loves being active and should well healed by then.

I saw an Islam interview today and he was saying he wanted to fight in the MSG, that he thought Jon would fight there but he retired. So that could make this scenario more probable as I think JDM would prefer the garden as Abu Dhabi too lol.
So we would get Alex x Ank in Abu Dhabi

 

[Dr Fong]

Tom vs Almeida. Gane has had enough gifted title shots.

It's bizarre how people are so comfortable with Gane getting a 3rd shot.

The man already got a second title shot coming off a 1-fight win streak over Tai fucking Tuivasa and now everyone wants to give him a 3rd title shot coming off what should have been a loss?

But I was told Islam only wants to fight in Abu Dhabi if he can choose.

It's not about being comfortable(ie person feelings), it's about using logic & living in the reality of what is going to happen.

It's bizarre how many people let their feelings dictate their perspective.

Is/ought fallacy, mong. I wasn't playing fantasy Hunter Campbell when I made my post.

I know what's going to happen. I am talking about what should happen.

As consumers, our 'feelings' about the product decide whether we can be fucked watching it or not. I can't be fucked watching Cyril Gane get another title shot and I am voicing my surprise that other people can.

 

[PDestroyer1405]

Gane should have rematch against Volkov. Tom vs Francis is the fight to make

Well when you assume that & many others are comfortable with Aspinall vs Gane when we're just posting what's going to happen, then you are being consumed by your feelings.

Nobody said they were comfortable with it, that's you making assumptions based on your feelings-based perception.

Plenty of people have advocated for the fight. Those are the people I am referring to. You are not everyone.

Now, please stop posting inane nonsense.

Tom v Gane is trash. Replace it with Tom v Almeida

The rest is good
