Isn't mvp fighting at 170 ? Whatever.

And Cannoneir is like 42 years old so who knows. Should be fun to watch

Very weird fight. Maybe they're trying to set up MVP with Izzy if he wins.

Holy moly

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

the perfect matchup for the UFC.

newer older guy vs aging older but still good veteran with US name

whoever wins, its a win

 

[Aurelian]

I thought MVP was staying at 170.

But whatever, MVP is probably way too fast for Jared and unless he gets caught I think he should win this.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Should be an easy match

I like this if it actually happens.

Yeah agreed, I've never thought about them fighting at all.

I really like it tbh. UFC needs more of this kind of matchmaking. And Chi-town will love itself some black on black crime

 

[JBJ was here]

With the GFL never quite making it into business, I guess the UFC needs to put on the geriatric fights. That's more years in the cage than Stipe vs. Jones. Someone's gonna fall and break a hip.

Quite a strange fight, this one, very unexpected and can't say I'm interested.

I take it MVP decided to move up then? It's not a bad idea to switch between weight classes and fighting the non-grapple heavy guys.

Is MVP trying to make a run at 185?

 

[Tweak896]

Ehhh... think it's just too tempting for guys to wrestle MVP. Hard to find good matchups with him because you can boring fights when his opponent grapples or the best fights standing. Especially at MW where Cannonier is pretty huge for the division.

This is what happens when playing a fighting game and both players press 'random'. Nice fun fight.

Woah didn't see this fight coming at all, very random matchup lol.

 

[Blastbeat]

MVP might not ever get close to the title but its gonna be fun having him in the UFC for as long as he can stay
this is a random and very risky matchup for MVP

They are trying to stack this card
