News Dana White confirms UFC will choose White House fighters starting February 2026

[Sycho Sid]

the fact that conor alone is worth 5 champions in the ufc in terms of popularity and profit

also the fact that jones has 17 title wins the most in history

you hate it that your favorite fighter aint as popular as conor or doesnt have 17 title wins as jones?
maybe you should be their coach so that they can achieve those

Maybe he doesn't like rapists, drug addicts and wife beaters being platformed like that?

Chandler headlining what will probably be one of the biggest UFC events ever would be a travesty. Get someone relevant in there.

Alex maybe but then you’d have another man who just vacated his belt. How is that bmf

How is Jon Jones BMF?

He's literally the deadliest fighter who ever existed.

No boring blankets needed, swanging and banging big checks, big money!

We have 4 months from now before they start discussions.

That effectively means we have 7 more PPVs to decide who gets on:
- UFC 321: Tom vs Gane (October 25 2025)
- UFC 322: Islam vs JDM (November 15 2025)
- UFC 323 (December 6 2025)
- UFC 324 (January 2026)
- UFC 325 (February 2026)
- UFC 326 (March 2026)
- UFC 327 (April 2026)

At least 3 month camp for the fighters to be fully prepared before July 4, so cutoff is April

-------------------


Here are the fighters we should include from each division:

BW:
???

FW:
???

LW:
- Ilia Topuria
- Islam Makhachev
- Conor McGregor
- Michael Chandler

WW:
- Shavkat Rakhmonov (if he is healthy and earns #1 contender spot)

MW:
- Khamzat Chimaev

LHW:
- Jiri Prochazka

HW:
- Alex Pereira
- Jon Jones
- Tom Aspinall


Alex wants superfight with Jones.
I say we do it, even without the HW belt on the line.

Jones gets what he wants, Alex gets what he wants, fans get the superfight, Tom is happy to keep the belt.
And Tom can fight someone else for the title, maybe Almeida. Or even Ngannou...?


-----------------------


Headline:
- Main Event: McGregor vs Chandler (no belt)
- Co-Main Event: Jones vs Pereira (no belt)

- Islam vs Topuria (LW belt)
- Jiri vs Khamzat (LHW belt, assuming Alex vacates LHW and Jiri beats Ulberg in early 2026)
- Tom vs Almeida (HW belt, assuming Tom beats Gane and Almeida beats Volkov)

Maybe I underrated his star power. But no way should McGregor vs Chandler at this point headline over Poaton vs Jones

 

[fries in the bag]

main event: jones vs pereira
co-main event: mcgregor vs chandler

main card:
- makhachev vs topuria
- prochazka vs ankalaev
- aspinall vs ngannou

Wonder how much they getting paid.

We collected all the tariff money during the year just to pay for this card next year
