Lol, UFC makes a shit show fight and it’s turns out to be a shit show.

Dana must be super happy this weekend with this weirdo

I mean this would be the only thing that should upset Dana. All the other shenanigans is just good for business in Dana's eyes

 

[Willie]

As far as I can see there has been about four weight misses so far. Shit show.

 

[rjmbrd]

His last tweet says Khamzat is reportedly off by 8-10lbs

No way in the world should Nate agree to that. That is just completely ridiculous.

 

[Krixes]

Tony vs Nate.... Costa vs Khamzat at Costa weight...

 

[subtlySteve]

This is what happens when you worry about fighting everyone else besides the actual person you are scheduled to fight.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Nate vs Tony main event is better anyways

Leach vs Holland co-main

Pay Daniel Rodriguez for being bumped off the card.

Pay everyone above both their show and win bonus guaranteed for making this happen

Make it an ESPN+ fight night rather than a lol worthy $75 ppv

 

[surgeyou1]

Pull him. Make Tony vs Nate. and have him fight Costa at the end of the year.

 

[KazDibiase]

Damn you mean that brawl yesterday didn't help him shed some pounds?

 

[Question]

10 lbs WTF?
This event is barely being held together at this point, they should just do Diaz/Tony as the main event at this point.

Really shitty from Khamzat and honestly it doesn't look promising for his future if he's been having this much trouble making 170.

 

[MRT]

UFC will say now, and then he would just be stuck in his contract longer.

Don't be so sure. The UFC will lose a *ton* of money if that fight get cancelled...who is buying a PPV with Tony and Li headlining?

It also hijacks the idea that Khamzat is setting himself up for a huge fight, likely a title shot, with a win over Nate...so the costs of cancelling extend well beyond just this event.

The 'whole purse' is hyperbole...but Nate would *undeniably* be able to negotiate a hefty raise from the UFC to save the fight/event.

 

[Fatback96]

Nate vs Tony please.

This. We need Nate vs Tony before they leave the UFC.

 

[Guffman]

8-10 lb off? Nothing a hard press on the towel can't fix. Just look away for a moment, commission people.

 

[rjmbrd]

Tony vs Nate.

That is a much more appropriate fight for all parties and pretty much a guaranteed banger.

Two career lightweights approaching 40 and retirement, coming off losses.

I'm going to be smoking mad if Nate agrees to fight Khamzat at f@% middleweight.

 

[ccc77]

I want Tony - Nate.

 

[Jackonfire]

He's gonna have to borrow a towel from DC

He already did that once.

 

[Morning Star]

Honestly glad to see this blow up in the UFC's face after making this joke of a fight. Nate should demand double or triple his normal rate to fight him.

Let me guess how this will go...............................UFC to Diaz, Chimaev is at 178 will you do a catch weight at 178?? Diaz response F U pay me an extra million to save your Fing show and let me walk away in peace after this fight. Otherwise I'll fight Tony for an extra 500K and you let me walk away.
