Rumored Ilia vs Islam and Chimaev vs DDP happening on the same card in June

[Mmmmmmma1234]

I'm skeptical but I love to see it

 

[JKS]

Massive!!

I predict a close fight between DDP and Chimaev going to a UD. If DDP can fend off the grappling and submission attacks early, I think he pours it on late and gets a 4th or 5th round stoppage.

And Ilia is gonna win by knock out! I predict he stops Islam inside 2 rounds.

That's Baki's brother.

 

[Versez]

Seems unreal to me … and Baki brother is huge !

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Doubt it, it will probably be Tybura vs Tafa as the co-main under DPP vs Khamzat MW title

 

[Unheralded Truth]

That's Baki's brother.

Baki's brother and manager, he's in the game.

This his latest post on insta a few weeks ago:


Yeah, I'm not gonna be skeptical here like most seem to be. This is probably what the UFC want to do this summer. They always go for one banger card there.

If true the rest of the card will suck....still will buy

 

[Alpha_T83]

I doubt they are on the same card.

BUT if they are, it's because Dana isn't confident that Khamzat will stay healthy.

 

[Neck&Neck]

It would be mammoth

Megalodon esque, Joe

 

[Danespina]

That would be among the best Main/Co-Main combinations ever.

 

[flektarn]

They can't count on Khamzat to show up half the time. Smart to have Islam as the headliner.

 

[whocares]

Lies. Everyone knows we can't have nice things

 

[joy2day]

Unless someone in the Middle East is paying them a butt load of cash straight up.

And given who would be on this card, that's a distinct possibility.

That would be awesome. About time we got a truly stacked card.

If the bald goof gives us this I'll personally travel to his house and shovel fake snow on his driveway.

 

[JoeRowe]

They don't have enough real PPV main events to burn 2 on one card.

Yes they do.

Merab/Omalley 2 for July ppv(Poirier/Max 3 in 5-round co-main, Louisiana)

HW Title for August(Jon/Tom or Tom vs Gane/Jailton)

Ank/Pereira 2 for SEP

 

[CC27]

its possible but maybe not likely.

If Jones/Tom gets done for Aug then they need international fight week and a July card. You'll have Islam/Topuria, DDP/Khamzat and Merab/O Malley 2.

So could do LW/BW int fight week and let Khamzat/DDP headline July but I think if you can get Khamzat into US isnt Vegas the biggest option for him? SO maybe you just do Islam/Toupria and Khamzat/DDP for int fight week and let Merab/O Mallley rematch headline July.

July just probably wont have a second title fight unless Zhang isnt looking to fight Fly champ yet and they give her a SW title fight or someone like VOlk/Lopes quickly turns around for a defense. I just dont see Magomed/Alex fighting in the summer even if Alex wants it I think thats gonna be a fall fight, Sept/Oct.

 

[Dorkman]

I can't see it. I think they'll both end up headlining their own cards.

I like this news and will not be negative Nancy like most people in this thread, goodness people love to be negative.
