Stylistically one of the best Middleweight Title Fights in recent memory. Absolutely pumped for this fight!

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Very good news. We all wanted to see this fight next. Best official UFC fight announcement we had this year probably, 2025 has been so lacklustre so far, we need some big time fights with meaning!. This fight will be a lot of fun and entertaining.

SHOW UP TO THE FIGHT, BUMSHOT

 

[tritestill]

Damn, might have to fly out there and watch in person

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Fuck yes. I voted DDP purely based on his resume vs Khamzat's, I have no clue who wins though, should be a lot of fun.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

I mean it should've happened in February instead of DDP vs. Strickland 2, so we had to wait to wait an extra half a year for this shit, but at least it's finally happened.

I'll get excited when the night actually gets here. I have a feeling someone will pull out of this fight.

Still no Aspinall fight. The poor guy is wasting his prime days and years away because Dana White and UFC are in the pocket of Jon Jones who is holding the belt hostage.

DEFEND OR VACATE!

I guess that puts an end to the rumors that Khamzat can't fight in the USA.

The UFC forcing Islam to vacate while allowing Jones to duck is just peak degeneracy.

The UFC is just a joke now. I honestly do hope it fails.

 

[Neck&Neck]

In America, nice

War DDP !!!

I’ve learned to not write off ddp as he is a true mother fvcker, but borz is just a monster and has never looked like was ever in any trouble in any fight except the stand up in the burns fight for a bit. But something tells me the grappling is going to come into effect here.
