Rumored Periera vs Ankalaev at UFC 310 not happening

Pantoja vs. Kai probably gets bumped to main event
 
We never know the official interest until everything is signed. Judging by the way Alex implied he's waiting on a call and Mag saying he's all in, it's not an unfair assumption to think that if it doesn't get done, it's on the UFC

'He's ducking him. They must have sent over the contract and he personally told his manager to delete the email. I know this for a fact.'

'The UFC didn't even send the contract. They're protecting him. Both he and them know he'll lose.'

The card in Feb would be perfect for this.
 
MMA Fighting says it's being discussed. Then MMA Fighting says it isn't being discussed one day later.

In both instances, irrational posts take place after both announcements. Suredawg in a nutshell.
The prior news was that they had approached his team about being on the card. Today's news is that they are not considering him. The obvious takeaway is that his team turned it down. Not that it's any shade on him, he's awesome and that's probably why they worded the article that way.
 
Not really surprising I thought Alex said he wanted a break or that he barely made it to this fight. Let the man rest.
 
It's called lying to impress casuals. He doesn't have any fights on short notice in his entire UFC career.

There's a pattern here, Sherlock.
He fought Prachnio on a month notice. He got a full camp for Darko, but that turned into Abreu on a month's notice. The Cutelaba rematch needed multiple reschedules and the Volkan one did too, so those did have camps, but off time. The majority of the rest of his fights were 2-3 months. How big is the history of him turning down last minute fights?
 
Poatan after the last fight spoke clearly about illness and injuries in camp, a very difficult preparation, general burnout and needing some recovery time off after a super intense 2024 … it would be foolish to fight again so soon, no matter the money on the table (he made plenty in the last couple of years anyway).

Glad he’ll wait and recuperate fully before the next fight.
 
Shavkat vs Usman ..
