Rumored The early plan is DDP vs Chimaev headlining UFC 318, set to take place in the US

[Unheralded Truth]

It seems the details have been sorted, and Chimaev can now apply to enter the states for work again:



Sucks that we have to wait until July though, but this is gonna be massive. Thoughts?

 

[tritestill]

This the violence that I asked for

 

[usernamee]

I guess this was the date that worked but they really should've scheduled this sooner.. Nobody wants to wait that long to maybe see Chimmy pull out.

Only five months from now, huh. Surely nothing adverse will happen between then and now

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

After landing in the US, Khamzat comes down with measles and has to pull out

What are peoples thoughts on the odds for this fight if it happens?

Last July was UK, maybe this year they go back to Salt-Lake in July like ufc 291. Would be an interesting wrinkle given Khamzat's perceived lack of cardio & DDP's proven gas tank.

As someone who lives nearly 7,000 ft above sea level it's definitely a real thing.

They haven't done a PPV in Texas for a long time so maybe HOU or DAL would be considered. Chicago is a huge market and also hasn't had a PPV in many years. Selfishly I wouldn't mind Denver as it's just an hour away from me.

I am thinking maybe MSG

Can't believe we had to wait through a Strickland rematch no one wanted to get here. Now we just pray they both enter the cage.

Also the Twitter is not well informed Khamzat had always access to the US.. The UFC offered him to headline UFC 300 but he declined it was against Leon Edwards for the WW belt

Isn't this account notorious for bullshit news?

I'd be careful.

Khamzat is at -145 with DDP at +125. Lines are closing, Khamzat was a larger favorite at opening.

Them offering him UFC 300 title shot at 170 just showed how stupid and desperate UFC were.

That was like on a months notice or something, during Ramadan or right after it, and the last time Chimaev was going to weigh 170 for a more planned fight he missed the weight completely.

It would've been extremely irresponsible of Chimaev to say yes to that, almost as irresponsible as UFC asking him in the first place..

No idea... is it?

I heard that he was first to mention Volkanovski vs Lopes, something like 5 months before the now booked date.

A faint memory is telling me that he broke some Makhachev news and Chimaev news too, that's why I posted and labeled it a rumor. Just take it with a grain of salt if you have seen some bullshit from the guy.

Better have a strong co main...

Yes, its a complete dogshit account that makes things up. Not saying he's never gotten something right but he gets called out all the time for his bullshit.
