[Rio Ferdinand]

The UFC is dead then

Was this fight even official? I might be out of the loop but didn't see this anywhere.

Edit: Ok I'm not that stupid then lol

Interim MW champ fight.

Caio vs Khamzat?

Or imavov vs khamzat.

 

[fortheo]

ddp has pulled out 3 times in the UFC which is the same # of times as chimaev

What are the three time DDP pulled out?

So? Your'e saying Chimaev is bullshit too then? Like I said, no self awareness at all.

Why? I agree Strickland sicks but his fight with Dricus was razor close and could of gone either way . Also Khamzat is moat unreliable fighter out there .

Khamzat had the momentum after beating Whittaker and was not injured coming into 312. They should have just delivered the fight because everyone wanted to see it and the Perth card had zero star power. And with Strickland you know you're going to get an underwhelming performance. UFC is now delivering sub-premium quality PPVs to these site-fee locations where tourism boards just pay for the events now. Gives UFC no incentive to build up good cards for these venues.

Fuck Dana White this was the only other fight to look forward to since hes too busy not making Jon Jones and Aspinall.

If Topturio v Islam don't happen this year then 2025 is a write off for real.

I have a special kind of disdain for Dana, but you need to blame Jon Jones for that fight not being made, not Dana.

 

[Poirierfan]

How can a fight that was never on be off?

Great point,

I do but I also blame Dana for being the dad who let's his son get away with whatever he wants because he's the golden boy.

Should've been stripped already if Dana had balls

Great, the only average fight we have for 2025 is not gonna happen. Fu** mma is dead, bunch of mediocre fights we had and gonna have all year long. Might aswell watch curling…

The UFC 312 fight didn’t happen because of Khamzat, he couldn’t get into Australia

Agreed, but he should be stripped now. Dana White is his lapdog who cannot stop running his mouth (for example, not giving Islam the due credit of P4P and rambling nonsense about 'Jon Jones is the baddest man on the planet' repeatedly when the press challenged him).

Khamzat posted a pic with an airplane and "shhh" emoji so it looks like he'll be fighting someone.

We need the BaldGoof to make a statement and clear the air to what’s really happening

Could mean he’s taking a vacation

Agreed. Should have been Khamzat, but UFC insisted on making another snoozefest.
