Rumored Helwani: UFC 300 bout in jeopardy - another announcement before actual signing

[Unheralded Truth]

"Anytime these fights get announced, I always ask them if I have a good relationship with the people involved, is this true? Did you agree?
And I can tell you there’s another fight on 300 one of the particulars has not agreed to yet. I’m not gonna say which fight it is, and I’ll tell you it’s
probably not a main card fight, but there’s another fight on that card that was put out before one of the fighters agreed to it. And as of this second,
they have not agreed to it yet."

Thoughts?

Might as well cancel it altogether. I think such a thing might kill Dana.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Figueredo vs Garbrandt?

 

[Neck&Neck]

Thought this goof was into boxing now

"probably not a main card fight"

It's Cody Brundage playing hardball negotiating with the UFC for a big pay bump to fight Bo Nickal.

 

[flektarn]

oh no, we're losing sterling vs kattar

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

“…if I have a good relationship with the people…”

Reckon why you wouldn’t, Ariel?

 

[Khaosan]

UFC dying confirmed.

 

[Luthien]

It is Ronda, I'm telling you people

 

[BigTruck]

It is Ronda, I'm telling you people

That fight was never announced though, he said it's announced and no way they'd put Ronda on the undercard.

Figueredo vs Garbrandt?

For whatever reason that was the first that came to my head as well.

UFC needs to stop announcing things before they get pen to paper, it makes them look very unprofessional.

 

[svmr_db]

It is Ronda, I'm telling you people

Ronda like GSP has shown zero intention to return to MMA but you folks keep trying to throw them in matches lol <Lmaoo>

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Reporting "news" by saying absolutely nothing.

 

[jeskola]

Nickal vs Izzy inc

 

[Luthien]

Ronda like GSP has shown zero intention to return to MMA but you folks keep trying to throw them in matches lol <Lmaoo>

That's only what she and Dana wants you to think It was the same with Brock before 200

With the way this month has gone I'm assuming the UFC will stop doing it ASAP. We'll probably hear about a couple more unsigned fights until it's done.

 

[Yep]

Uh, not a main card fight? Who cares?

 

[EndlessCritic]

Who are these people that actually listen to Helwani?

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Wow this pretty much confirms what most of us have surmised was the issue this week with all these stories coming out.

UFC announcing fights without both parties signed to leverage negotiations. Typical shit from the Unorganized Fucking Circus

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Yeah, if it’s true I would assume it’s a main card fight. Not that the prelims are scrubs. But it’s a loaded card. And the prelims will probably been seen by more people than ever see any of those prelim fighters fights in the future. To say no, or play hardball would be counterproductive, imo.

Go out and get a finish. People will remember it. Have a good in octagon interview. Because pretty much all of the prelims are capable of being a ME of a FN. But nowhere near the same amount of people will see that FN ME.

Just my opinion.
