Fights to Make After UFC Fight Night: Dariush vs Tsarukyan

[StonedLemur]

Great post @Siver! as usual.

Only part that I want to dispute is Figgy being a monster at BW.
I didn't see that exactly sir.

He looked good, but in no way did I see a monster in there tbh.

I came here to say this, not the dummy part but the coach part lol.

The thing is, if Dana blacklists Merab, Cejudo AND Figgy from title shots for refusing to fight friends and training partners, there won't be much of a list of guys for Sean to run through

It's worth noting when fighters are less likely to fight each other, but as with Merab-Sterling, Dana is going to do whatever it takes to circumvent this.

Then again, Cejudo probably won't get a title shot anyway...

Cejudo is coaching Figgy though, so I don't see that one happening sir.
Merab may be blacklisted, but that has no weight on who Figgy fights next tbf.

Nice fights.

I think if they run Turner vs St Denis, I'd definitely like that to be on UFC 300.

There's a danger that if the UFC just goes for name value, the fights themselves might be a let down - which would colour everyone's opinion of such a monumental event.

They need to load that card with BANGERS so that people are talking about it for all the right reasons.

Islam already beat him , Islam is beating everyone these days

Yes Islam beat Taarukyan when Tsarukyan was 22 and making his UFC debut. He's a different level now.
