Is there a chance that the main event of saturday get cancelled ?

[Slapchoppin]

its fine Biden condemned it so now Putin can't do it anymore

thats the rules

You guys are out of touch if you think that Americans are in a hooyah fuck Russia mode. The country is overwhelmingly opposed to us getting involved in the situation over there.

The Russian fighters generally get booed in America just for nationalism's sake, just like American fighters gets booed elsewhere around the world.

This next fight is in the Apex anyway. There won't be any booing from the 20 people there.

What are you worried that Islam’s going to get drafted into the Russian Military?

 

[CroCopsLHK]

110%. The fact you're posing that scenario and the fact Bobby has to cut like 35 lbs AND asking "is there a chance". XD

As far as I know Islam is already in the USA. It would perhaps be a different story if he had to fly over here this week and if the US would deny Russian citizens entry to their soil.

 

[DaRivv20]

Probably won’t happen.


What Russia is doing is horrific and they should be held accountable for their actions, but fighters aren’t Putin or his thugs.

Unless Petr Yan, Islam, Volkov, Olenik extra take up arms and invade Ukraine they’re completely detached from what’s going on.

 

[DaRivv20]

Dunno but I hope at least some of Vladdy's favorite sports heads cut ties to him. The man really seems to like sports so maybe that will at least move something in that brain of his.

I hope guys like Islam, Khabib and Yan take the moral route and say that it’s fucked up. But I doubt they would.


From my knowledge and this is just a westerners knowledge it’s not exactly ok to criticise Putin in Russia.

I know the question might be stupid, but with what hapenning with Russia right now, is there a chance that russian athletes get expelled from the United States soon ?

I highly doubt the ones currently in the US for events will get expelled. I expect if you have a visa and in the country you are fine.

Its just a special military exercise takeover

lol... I can't tell if you are seriously slurping up Putin or just totally unaware that russian missles are hitting outside those regions and killing 100's of innocent people.

Khamzat lives in Sweden

You country of origin(where your passport is from) is more important in a visa application than the country you are currently in. It is clear for a number of russian fighters getting visa's hasn't been straightforward before this and I imagine it will only get harder. I have no idea what will happen in the future around this but I imagine it will become clearer over the next month or so.

The UFC could always just do fight island again to make it happen, but Khamzat might not want to leave Sweden unless his sure he can get back in.

Quite the opposite. If things escalate, they'd all probably apply for asylum, be processed and be assigned a court hearing some time in the distant future.

Putin is gonna erase UFC with Sputnik missile. Vodka

Sputnik missile joint partnership between a Russian vodka company and Proper 12™

Probably can't work during that process in the USA.

 

[Quietus]

Conor was right about one thing in his Khabib feud..all these guys connected to Putin or Kadyrov are showing fake respect out of fear.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I don't know, but I can ask the KGB

ok I asked but they won't tell me anything unfortunately

 

[NoSmilez]

Where are the Fedor stands with Putin threads?

 

[Fergelmince]

Probably can't work during that process in the USA.

And?

 

[Thick_Strong_Tight]

Did the Americans invading Afghanistan stop their athletes from competing places? People aren't their home countries government.

True, but we do impose financial freezes on what are technically "plain citizens" (oil oligarchs) as sanctions.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

lol perfect post.
