Rumored Jared Cannonier VS MVP in the works for UFC 319

[Daniel Henry]

All Jared has to do is touch him once

 

[Sycho Sid]

I don't see this fight as very exciting really.

Reminds me of Izz/Jared

 

[RockyLockridge]

Is MVP trying to make a run at 185?

no but I think the UFC is trying to force it

 

[Morris88]

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. Jared will be much heavier on fight night. Could just hump him to a super boring decision

 

[Cameron]

Easy work for mvp

I think he's just taking fun fights

Jared is a company man I think he gets the idea of what the mission is when booked against MVP and its not to hump your way to a boring decision

 

[SalvadorAllende]

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

They are buddies... no chance they fight eachother.

I think MVP knocks Cannonier the fuck out.

Just like many in here this is a match up that was never a possibility in my head. With that being said if this does end up happening it's cool Jared will be on a ppv card. It's been a while since he wasn't headlining an apex card. I don't see this fight being all that exciting though unless Jared makes the fight messy cause if he doesn't mvp is just gonna be content with doing just enough to coast to a close decision.

It’s funny you say that because when Cannonier fought Rodriguez he looked a weightclass or two smaller



MVP will be taller, faster and probably keeps his distance while hitting Cannonier with a few stinging shots. MVP via UD

I hope you're right and I'm wrong. MVP is a special striker, just a shame so few want to stand with him.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

MVP really needs that signature HL KO in teh UFCeh


Hope it happens before he washes out

 

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

I think MVP vs costa would be an amazing Match

 

[PrideNverDies]

MVP and Izzy are friends. I doubt they fight. Izzy wants to rematch Strickland. MVP probably took this because he can style on Cannonier

That’s exactly why no one really wants to stand with him



Here’s hoping

 

[The Big Babou]

David v Goliath

Goliath by foot stomp

 

[TheNewGame]

Might look like Ngannou/Gane with D1 Jared

 

[Tweak896]

That’s exactly why no one really wants to stand with him



Here’s hoping

I mean UFC found Shara for him, was a fun fight. I don't blame fighters for taking him down because it's a mma fight. Even if UFC booked MVP vs Izzy, I remember Izzy saying on Joe Rogan how he wanted to submit someone before he goes and show his ground game, so I couldn't even trust that.

You know, now that I think about it, maybe MVP would matchup at LHW. Those guys all want to stand besides Jan, and Ankalaev. MW is getting Khamzat and even DDP would take down MVP.

 

[KO Shotz]

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

Izzy vs MVP is what I would like to see next instead of the pointless & random matchups of Izzy/Strickland 2 & now this in Cannonier/MVP.

 

[humdizzle]

random af

i actually think MVP takes this. the speed difference will be massive.

.... unless jared blows on some crystals to give him power between rounds
