Media Chiesa vs Magny Set for Jan 20

[Joseph_McBride]

Jerome Rivera is fighting Deiveson Figueiredo's younger, darker brother on this card. Jimmie Rivera is fighting Munhoz on 1/30 card.



I think they penciled Holland/Brunson in for 1/30 as well, Heinsch/Kelvin isn't a headliner.

Blaydes recently said they were trying to re-book his fight with Lewis for 1/30 headliner. We'll see how it plays out.

EDIT: looks like no card on January 30th anymore.

Chiesa is at the end of the road, calling it 30-27 for Magny

"End of the Road"? More like Magny is, if comparing the two.. Magny is older, has many more fights and hasn't looked as good as Chiesa as of late. Chiesa looks to have been reinvigorated and very strong, once he got into the 170lb weight division.. seems more suited to his body type too. Magny also struggles with grapplers, every time.

Finally Chiesa gets a fight. Booking makes sense. Hope this won't fell through

Good scrap. Chiesa gets a lot of shit but he's got some entertaining BJJ

 

[Ace70 V2]

I hope Magny fights like someone else and destroys Chiesa

 

[thenewone]

I hope Magny wins, but hopefully its a good fight no matter what.

 

[Dionysian]

Oh that'll be some fun grappling. I'll lean Neil due to having a bit more size at WW.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Winner should kick Chumpaev’s ass

If Khamzat beats Leon, he's not fighting Magny or Chiesa... It's Colby or Usman.

 

[dildos]

chiesa should take this fight.

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

Agree. Putting this fight on the card to almost guarantee a 170 fight to headline is smart. Also, dumping the Jan 30 card to load the other cards is smart as well. They just can't count on fights happening as planned.

A Wednesday FN card has a better Co Main then UFC 257

This is better than Chandler vs Hooker?

Hope Magny destroys michael "I only fight up in the rankings" chiesa

 

[Deleted member 512089]

How is he at the end of the road?
How is the #8 ranked WW losing to the #9 ranked WW an indication you are at the end of the road?

Chiesa is 3-0 at WW (3 fight win streak) and 17-4 overall. What I can't figure out is who you are under rating more: Chiesa or Magny?

Yeah and what a great 3 fight win streak

The corpse of Carlos Condit
The ghost of the late Diego Sanchez
RDA on a 1-3 run

So impressive

 

[Shadey1]

Decent fight. Surprised it took so long to happen with Magny calling for it a few times. Gonna go with Neil in this fight.

Because Chandler vs Hooker wasn't announced after this post....

I didn't say anything about it being impressive or not. How is a 3 fight win streak evidence of a fighter being at the end of the road?

 

[Moeshaak Hammer]

It's been heavily established Zat is afraid of Magny, for some reason.

 

[Brom Bones]

The question I have is:

Is Mike's mom gonna be there?

 

[Evangelion]

Because Chandler vs Hooker wasn't announced after this post....

So you complained about a cards main event before it was even announced?
