News Return to Fight Island Officially Announced

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

It's questionable as a featured pre-lim, let alone a PPV co-main. oh well.

Yeah I have no problem with women's fights unlike some people here, but that fights boring as hell.

Pipe down Mr Easily Offended

what are you on lmao

 

[Law Dog]

Three good, solid fights. Wouldn't mind seeing one or two competitive WMMA bouts thrown on each card too to spice things up and make it interesting.

Said no one ever.

 

[Moeshaak Hammer]

still no co main for 257.....

Conors pay is too much, cant afford another big pay

Emirates care more about money than anything else.
The PPV on conors card will depend on what time it will be on, if its local time saturday, than sell low numbers, if they fight at the am hours, it will sell high numbers.

 

[A.S. Deep]

Holy fucking shit that week of fights is so good.

 

[Ald0]

Are people seriously upset at that there are 3 fight cards in one week? Jesus lmao, they literally did it with earlier this year with 251, Kattar/I’ve, and Joe B/Fig 2 and it was great

 

[Andreh]

There was never a "Fight Island". He keeps lying and people buy it as usual.

Max/Kattar, Hamzat/Leon, Conor/Poirier

Thanks. Good week for sure.

 

[fortheo]

Kattar. Chivmat, Poirier for the sweep

Not sure about Civmate yet, but I like where your head is.

 

[dragovic]

Should’ve been Edwards vs Chimaev the 16th and Holloway vs Kattar the 20th imo

WEDNESDAY?!!?

If you're a WMMA fan I assume your Wednesday is wide open for TV time

 

[NattyBro]

But why are all of these fights the same week? Strike anyone else as odd? Surely that has to hurt viewership?

It's a massive logistical undertaking to build the venue, fly all the staff, fighters & coaches, and do the testing & quarantines. It makes perfect sense to do multiple shows but yeah 3 in a week does seem a bit crammed.

 

[Roljo]

It’s better if they are all 5 rounders

True that

 

[Fahcough]

Not sure about Civmate yet, but I like where your head is.

Katter's hands are under appreciated and Max has been getting hit more than he was 2 years ago.
The new glory guy seems pretty legit, I'm gonna go ahead and believe the hype and say he finishes Leon.

And the Poirier pick is 100% pure hometown support Have no strong standing evidence or high confidence but it's gonna be a much better fight this time around.

 

[thenewone]

Should’ve been Edwards vs Chimaev the 16th and Holloway vs Kattar the 20th imo

Definitely. Then they could throw a Chimaev middleweight fight on the Conor card, that would be entertaining as hell.

Same. Rose vs Andrade, awesome co-main. Eye vs Jojo? ... pass.
