Media Dana White says he already knows which fight's getting UFC 319 FotN

[Unheralded Truth]

While fans are looking forward to an eventful card overall, the UFC CEO and president Dana White rather wants to shine light on the UFC 319 main event.

The stacked nature of the card would seem to make the ‘Fight of the Night’ award tough to predict, but not for Dana White:

“It is hard to not talk about this main event,” White said. “Khamzat Chimaev is back, actually fighting in the United States! That fight is gonna be badass.
There is just no way that the main event is not the Fight of the Night. Listen, the card is gonna be badass…but with all the great undercard fights, I would still
say it’s impossible for the main event NOT to be the Fight of the Night,” White claimed during an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast.

That leads me to believe this fight is going to be a snoozefest.

They might have considered Covid a TKO loss for Khamzat

Sometime you just know what's bound to be FOTN are correct. Sometime though you're severely wrong like with Ngannou VS Lewis.

If Khamzat gets KO’d early, illiteracy confirmed. Couldn’t read the script!

 

[Streeter]

Prates V Neal will be FOTN.

This fight can easily end in first 59seconds and be basically a huge anti-climax.

As usual khamzat will do a super fast dive for Dricus legs in first 10 or 20 seconds......he could sub him in 1st minute.

OR dricus could get a Ko or sub very fast .

Either way I don't really like Super short fights as it doesn't tell us very much.

This will be the UFC’s version of the Montreal Screw Job.

They only count UFC streaks. You'd think it would boost the stats to include win streaks that extend back before their UFC debut though.

I think they do for debutantes for that reason

Pretty slick, TS. Someone could interpret the title as clickbait, but it would just be their own imagination running wild.
