News Dana White: Paulo Costa vs. Khamzat Chimaev On the Verge of Being CANCELLED.

[HHJ]

Duplessis laughing his tits off right now at the match making balls up the UFC wanted, to leapfrog his chance.

Would be sick if he is the one that fights Khamzat

 

[Enormous]

Dolidze - Chimaev.

This would be the most logical continuation. Dolidze has challenged Chimaev before. They both know how to wrestle. Both Dolidze and Chimaev are good at standing. Dolidze's 2 defeats are absolutely doubtful and a lot of arguments can be made on this topic, in both cases we saw a big mistake by the referees. That's why I think Dolidze deserves to fight with Chimaev.

I was hoping for that

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

What a massive waste of time this has all been.

 

[Ayreon]

Let's throw the Champ in there and see what happens.

Ridiculous. Dolidze is no way remotely on Chimaevs level. I’d rather see Shavkat.

 

[TheGreatA]

Costa should probably go to BKFC to fight Mike Perry.

 

[The Maniac]

Pull Michel Pereira from fight night give me a bucket of money or put Paul Craig in there

0 arguments. Jimmy Darmody probably won't help you find arguments. On what basis do you set the levels? Has anyone leveled Roman Dolidze with the ground and based on that you set his level with Khamzat Chimaev? You can't talk about what you haven't seen yet. That's why it's actually funny that you write something blindly.

 

[pv3Hpv3p]

its not curse, its fear.

Of Nate Diaz?

 

[HHJ]

I’d rather see Shavkat.

No way that should be a short notice fight.

 

[WhiteMousse]

Is there a way to look up my own posts from the past few months? I swear there was a turd thread talking about how Costa was going to destroy Chimaev and I said Costa wouldn't even show up.

It's like the one person Dana should actually not be friends with

Only been awake for like 20 minutes, this is a difficult way to start the day

 

[Unheralded Truth]

Shit sucks, but this is what the UFC gets for scrapping a perfeclty fine Costa vs Aliskerov fight during summer. And not allowing Usman to take on Chimaev in a catchweight.

Now here we are, Costa still without a fight in 2023 after the clout chasing. Chimaev without an opponent. Aliskerov who don't have a chance to make a statement, fighting the bum Alves now.

What a joke of an organization. Yikes!

 

[Pechan]

That could very well be true.

But my cynical side wonders why Costa would leak the elbow injury at all if he knows it would jeopardize the fight?

The UFC knew about the injury already.

This is what the UFC gets for putting on such big fights in Abu Dhabi with none of the top backups from the region. I imagine Volk was already training and going to be in attendance, but now the UFC needs to find someone who is actively training to fly around 14+ hours over to Abu Dhabi and take a 10 day short notice fight.

What did they think was going to happen? Paulo has pulled out of fights and missed weight before and Khamzat hasn't fought in a long time.

You’re pretty triggered bro. It’s just a convo lol

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Costa was going to pull out no matter what. It's what he does. Time to fish up Kelvin Gastelum

High pressure spam TDs fucking Vittori gave Costa nightmares......HamXat was going make this look easy

 

[balkanbomber85]

I don't see any replacement fight which would excite me more..... I really dont....
