News Glover said he would face Ankalaev in Brazil for the Title, UFC said no they gave it to Jan vs. Ank

[TorontoTO]

Glover said he would face Jan, but the UFC wanted him against Ankalaev. Glover didn't want to face Ankalaev on two weeks notice not having a camp for him and since this is probably his last chance at the title. Thought they would respect it since he has been with the company so long.

The UFC said no, and just moved past him to make the title bout

Well duh. They're not gonna change the fucking venue two weeks out.

They had to keep the title on the December PPV, no exceptions. Whole card collapses without it, UFC did the right thing. Glover can have the winner hopefully sometime in mid 2023.

Glover didn't even deserve the rematch anyway

No, Jiri gets the winner. Why would Glover get the winner?

Not that the event would be moved to Brazil, there is already a PPV planned for Brazil in early 2023. Glover said he would face Jan for the PPV coming up

Because Jiri might be out for a long fucking time.

.... Jiri isn't going to be fighting anytime soon. We'll be lucky if he's even ready a year from now. The Jan / Ankalaev winner could very realistically get 2 defenses in before Jiri is ready to go.

No, Jiri gets the winner. Why would Glover get the winner?

Cause he’s going to be out for over a year

 

[Question]

Facing a guy like Ankalaev on short notice would be a fucking nightmare for any LHW, I understand Glover's decision here.

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

Gotta side with the UFC here. They needed a title
fight to save the PPV

When the fuck is Jiri coming back, bro?

 

[13Seconds]

No, Jiri gets the winner. Why would Glover get the winner?

Seems like Jiri is out of the picture. Would be weird of him to drop the belt if he wasn't...

 

[Goldentrophy]

No, Jiri gets the winner. Why would Glover get the winner?

Jiri is out for a year,Glover will get the winner come Summertime or late Spring.

He means a different card lol.

But Dana and his billionaire corporate henchmen needed to force the title onto 282 for money.

Yeah it's totally not the UFC's fault their cards suck ass these days and crumble when a single fight falls thru.

then why not Jan vs Glover instead of Jan vs Ankalaev?

 

[KOPPE]

if Ankalaev wins Pereira will be stuck in MW

What would you want UFC to do with 282 at this point if they booked Glover vs Ankalaev for 283? It's just over 2 weeks away, there's no way they can throw an alternate PPV worthy main event together that quick. Surely you're not suggesting they trash 282 to appease Glover?
