[John Cena]

How long is Ilia gone for? I thought he'd be out for at least this year.

Gaethje vs Arman next.

Ilia wasn't even mentioned post fight

If ilia’s out that long then Justin is the real champ. This is ridiculous.

UFC won't strip a champ if they're marketable. If it was Cejudo, UFC would have stripped him as soon as he mentioned taking a break.

At the end of the day, UFC want their faces in the top spot because it's better for business. Illa will draw numbers for title fights. Cejudo? not so much

Just because you’re right doesn’t mean I have to like it.

 

[Egészségére!]

Wtf is this

Glitch in the matrix?




on DK right now…

 

[ookii]

Paddy vs Jimmy Saville

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Rose has gotta give up on flyweight shes now 0-3 vs top contenders.
Make the hard cuts and she's a fight or two at most away from the sw title fight.

Paddy might have lost but id be shocked if he doesnt get another top 5 next. Kind like chandler he can lose up by being fun.

 

[Shadey1]

Adam Fugitt vs. Daniel Frunza - Loser leaves UFC.
Ty Miller vs. Taiyilake Nueraji - Both won their debuts. Lets see who can build on their momentum.
Denzel Freeman vs. Sean Sharaf - Potential loser leaves UFC clash.
Josh Hokit vs. Ryan Spann - This should be a good step up for Hokit.
Charles Johnson vs. Tagir Ulanbekov - Good rebound for both men off tough losses.
Alex Perez vs. Steve Erceg - Happy to go with this fight. Was cancelled previously so would be good to see it.
Modestas Bukauskas vs. Alonzo Menifield - Tough loss for Bukauskas. Happy to go with this as a rebound.
Nikita Krylov vs. Aleksandar Rakic - Great win for Krylov. Don't think he gets the Jan fight but defo happy with this.
Andrey Pulyaev vs. Rodolfo Vieira - Pulyaev did look decent in defeat here. I think this is a good next step!
Ateba Gautier vs. Dustin Stoltzfus - Good to see Ateba get some rounds in. I think this works for his next bout.
Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Song Yadong - Both men came up short tonight. I think this is a fun next step.
Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Petr Yan - Umar should be next unless Merab has a rematch. In which case Umar vs. O'Malley.
Arnold Allen vs. Steve Garcia - Tough loss for Allen. I think this is a good next step for him
Jean Silva vs. Youssef Zalal - Winner gets a top 5 opponent.
Rose Namajunas vs. Grasso/Barber loser - Think this makes sense for Rose next.
Natalia Silva vs. Valentina Shevchenko - Based on her win streak. I think Silva is next up.
Derrick Lewis vs. Marcin Tybura/Valter Walker winner - I like this as the next step for both men.
Waldo Cortes Acosta vs. Curtis Blaydes - Happy to go with this fight for Waldo next.
Sean O'Malley vs. Cory Sandhagen - I can see O'Malley potentially jumping the line. I can also see O'Malley against Umar. But I do like this fight
Paddy Pimblett vs. BSD/Hooker winner - Credit to Paddy. He showed a lot of heart here. I think this works next.
Justin Gaethje vs. Ilia Topuria or Arman Tsarukyan - If Ilia is back I think we would do that fight. Otherwise Justin can have Arman.

 

[fizzlehiss]

Paddy vs Arman. Money fight also if Arman dominates Paddy it will look better than Justin's win so it is a good title contention image(not that he needs any more but UFC gon UFC).

 

[Harlekin]

Gaethje always ducking to his right way worse than DC back in the day.
Ilia had him figured out like 3 years ago. Ilia by knockout in the 1st.

 

[Thy]

These all make sense, yet at the same time i have zero interest in any of them.

 

[Koala]

Gaethje vs Ilia. If Ilia is out, Gaethje vs the BMF champ
Paddy vs the loser of the BMF fight or BSD if he beats Hooker
O'Malley vs Nurmagomedov (TS eliminator)
Yadong Song vs Aieman Zahabi
Figgy vs Payton Talbott
Natalia Silva vs Shevchenko
Namajunas vs Wang Cong - Her banter with Chinese fighters is funny
Waldo vs Blaydes - Why not
Lewis vs Hokit
Jean Silva vs Steve Garcia
Arnold Allen vs Youssef Zalal
Ateba vs Brad Tavares

[HNIC215]

[NicholasJBasile]

Good match ups.

Personally, I'd like to see Hokit against Louie Sutherland -- both guys have such impressive paces.

I'd prefer she just go away

 

[Objectively Correct]

Gaethje always ducking to his right way worse than DC back in the day.
Ilia had him figured out like 3 years ago. Ilia by knockout in the 1st.

I hate Ilia but I agree. He seems to be leagues ahead of both Pimblett and Justin. In literally every single aspect of the game.
