News Dana: The DDP vs Chimaev fight is happening. Done deal.

[Unheralded Truth]

Looks like they chose to go with DDP vs Chim despite the injury of the former:



“Oh, we all know that fight’s happening, uh, the du Plessis vs. Khamzat fight, it’s happening."

“It’s just not happening in the International Fight Week… But that fight is done, just not happening for a while."

 

[Ara tech]

I will be watching. Time for Khamzat to get crowned.

 

[sonhow]

Its happening at ....fall in Abu Dhabi then?

Fight island baby....

Khamzat not getting that visa after all?

 

[gosuasus]

BRICS countries are dominating the world. America and Europe are nowhere lmao.

Chimaev by brutal KO, though.

 

[andgonsil]

Done deal like Jones vs Aspinall

 

[Reach4theSky]

Lets go!

just not happening for a while."

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Hopefully the injury to DDP won't keep him out for long, we barely ever see Khamzat actually fight the last few years. We don't need yet more long delays. I hope the fight happens this year at least.

 

[Skarsgard]

Hopefully DDP can win this. Don't really want another belt only getting defended once every year or two.

 

[Tweak896]

We'll see when they step into the cage together

 

[Kal-El]

Genuinly surprised it wasn't Khamzat vs Whitaker 2 "the fight the fans want to see"

 

[CobraCobretti]

"Conor will return"
"Jones-Aspinall 100% happening"

- Dana also

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

MSG... end of the year?

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

well it is one of he biggest fights the ufc can make right now. it should happen this year

 

[evergreenrider]

Aka, not in America. Or anywhere but sandland

 

[Ladron4sherdog]

Want this in Abu Dhabi. I'll be there for business around October. Could be great.

"We all know that fight is happening"

do we?

 

[Neck&Neck]

Dana “DoneDeal” White always speaks the truth

"But that fight is done, just not happening for a while"

If Dana has mastered one thing in iife, it's always being the vaguest mother fucker in the room. I don't know who that pink shirt fucker was... but he should crash every press conference. I love it when actual reporters put the screws to Dana and you see him turn into a fired up 14 year old kid because he doesn't like scrambling to answer questions.

So basically, it's either happening and he's right, or they'll never fight for whatever reason, and it'll just be another "Meh, you know I said I can't make these guys fight!" and he's still right. Fucking softballs.

- Can't make two guys fight. That I employ exclusively.
- For a belt that is technically company property.
- Of an organization that I am the boss and top dog of.

Can't make them fight.

- In a company worth billions.

Can't make them fight.

Well, why not?

- Can't afford it

Best MMA organization in the world!!! Praise be gods! So glad you're actually looking out for the fans, Dana.

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

really hope it's in August for the chicago ppv and not pushed to october

 

[Gabe]

They’re really gonna let Khamzat sit out another year and give him the shot in Abu Dhabi.
