Don't call him out for a fill-in slot if you can't fill in, dope.

I thought these nerds were smart?

Hard pass on this fight, the unranked guy doesn't call the shots.

I didn't think Jean Silva was going to make weight that soon anyways

I am fine with it. Silva needs time to make weight. If Movsar can't find a replacement dance partner then push it back a month. It is better to figure something out soon before he starts cutting or has to prep for a different opponent.

Do Movsar vs Steve Garcia. Id think he would take the opportunity. 8 fight dec win streak vs 5 ko win streak

Like him or not Evloev is the #6 FW, it's a massive opportunity to fight him as an unranked fighter. I think the fight would be a lot of fun but if Silva can't make the date they are better off booking the Sterling fight again when he's ready.

Reminds me of when JDM lost his opponent the week of and Buckley walked up to him and said something like "hey u wanna do this fight???"

and JDM shined up with the biggest smile and said "yeah!! lets do it"

and Buckley responded with "but not this card lets do it in October!!"


fuckin dummy...

Yea, at this point I'd rather just see that pushed at 308 or 309
309 I feel would need it more overall, 308 is already filled with a lot of big fights(more good fights there would be sweet tho)

Buckley don't truly want that, JDM would push his shit in IMO

Alhassan agrees

BTW.. Jean Silva should fuck off if he can't make the weight.

Evloev deserves a top opponent.. this was a charity match. Wait for Sterling.. that is the fight fans want to see

I don't think this is that weird, Ilia did the same thing with Bryce and it just seemed preferable than to have a short notice matchup that's less interesting.

Zinger on that level as first response = end of thread.

I am fine with any choice. We just have to wait till December or most likely next year. I think best practice is to let them know so they can get out of camp. Movsar is in camp and not getting paid. If it is December then it's a new camp.

Movsar doesn't fight much. He fights like one time a year vs someone like Diego Lopes who fights around 3 times a year. Movsar isn't going to get a title shot with that type of activity.

Movsar called him out according to the post. Did you miss that?
