PBP UFC 317: Topuria vs. Oliveira Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat. 6/28 at 10pm ET

Did he get ANY kind of coronation or publication? Dana just kinda went "Yeah, he's the champ now" and that was it?

I missed tonight's event, but if they didn't at least cap off the main PPV card with him on screen getting a small ceremonial handoff of a belt by Dana or something, then what the fuck are they even doing?

Nothing as usual.
Is normal.

Jake paul beating the shit out of a defenseless julio Cesar Chavez Jr who won't throw

 

[Mask Of Winters]

They knew cheeks was in the building and wanted to impress

WHOA...I had no idea you were actually there

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Please don’t

 

[Azure]

I’d pay to see Jake Paul in a power slap

If he just tried to fight relevant people I would give him some credit.... Shows that he has no confidence in his ability

No one wants to watch a YouTuber who was physically dominated by Tommy fury fight geriatric retired fighters

 

[contrail]

Damn they rushing this boy, I feel it’s still little too early for him to be fighting for the title

They are desperate for young contenders. So many guys in the top 10 of the divisions are aging out or close to it. They've pushed several promising guys way too fast in the last couple years especially. Short-sighted.

 

[MMA4Life]

Ilija is strong favorite in betting odds, so he probably wins for sure.

But to me it is more like flip of a coin.

Will see shortly.

I just want a fun fight. People sleep on Topuria being so well rounded.

 

[CleverNameEh]

I need Chucky Olives to choke a bitch

 

[Strijfy]

War Olives, only because Ila flaps his gums too much

 

[thiagoop]

Watch him now slow down soon, bro first it was 31, then 33, now 35, what’s next 37? I think it’s about time people just fucking admit, that elite fighters can still be competitive post mid to late thirties, motherfuckers here discard fighters way too quick after a loss in their 30’s, those PrideFC fan girls set that notion of fighters being out their primes once they lost, instead of just admitting the better fighter won.

Testosterone is a hell of a hormone

 

[gentel]

Nerd glasses

 

[fortheo]

I don't even think he'd have a poor ground game KKF actually looks good on the ground vs most people too.

I was talking about van

 

[Your Salad]

Spy glasses FTW!

 

[flektarn]

lfg do bronx.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

WHOA...I had no idea you were actually there

Showed out for this one

 

[DrRodentia]

Oof, hope you're not too upset

Why would a wildly dumb take upset me?

 

[BluMax]

He's not allowed to throw shots. It's in the contract.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

This is gonna be good. What's up everyone

 

[Darkavius]

If Ilia finishes Charles I think he'd be the most hated champ in terms of finishing fan favorites consecutively. Volk, Max, Charles are 3 of the most beloved fighters.

Last streak of finishing beloved ex champs like that was probably when Jon finished Shogun, Rampage and Lyoto in a row.

I could be wrong but wasn't Weidman hated more when he finished Anderson?
