Lerone Murphy: 145 division is super stagnant, I thought I would fight in December but no news. I think 155 is active and wide open 👀

[WoozyFailGuy]

Is LW seeing some life brought back into it with the additions of Arnold Allen and possibly Lerone Murphy?

 

[Istryker]

So is volk just sitting on the belt or is it the UFC? 145 is super stagnant

UFC seems to have slowed down all matchmaking last quarter, probably to prepare for having something to stack upcoming Paramount cards with

The UFC got their ESPN money and secured the Paramount contract, so they shut the machine down for the back half of the year.

Once the Paramount contract kicks in, they'll rev things up for a while...but then it'll be back to watered down cards like we've had for the last few years.

Silver lining: They got to give Espn+ a 5 month long "Fuuuuuck you!" on their way out the door lol

This I believe

So... we think the big stars are gonna be lining up for that...

Not PPV money?

but then it'll be back to watered down cards like we've had for the last few years.

I hate to be a pessimist here.


But I think you may be omitting the signature ingredient of the shit sandwhich

How is LW better? Topuria isn't booked for a defense. He fought in June with no damage. He was talking about WW before a) he won the LW belt and b) before Islam even moved up.

When exactly will the LW division move forward?

Unless Brenden IS joining LW, be a helluva weight cut

Regarding whether the big stars will be lining up for the Paramount shows rather than ppvs--they have no choice.

What signature ingredient am I omitting?

Where the UFC fckd up at with 145 is not giving Evloev the next title shot.

That division is loaded, no other reason other than Volk being the champ as to why the division is being stagnant.
