UFC Has All The Resources To Make Amazing PPVs This Summer (but they wont)

[JoeRowe]

Islam/Arman
DDP/Khamzat
Tom vs Jon/Jailton/Gane
Topuria/Charles
Poirier/Max 3
Gaethje/Hooker
Merab vs Yan/O'Malley
Ankalaev/Pereira II

They could use 2 of these fights for each of:

-UFC 317 (IFW June 28th)
Islam vs Arman
Topuria vs Charles

-UFC 318 (New Orleans July 26th)
Poirier vs Max III
Gaethje vs Hooker

-UFC 319 (August 16th)
Tom vs Jon/Jailton/Gane
Merab vs O'Malley/Yan

-UFC 320 (September 13th, Abu Dhabi)
Ankalaev vs Pereira II
DDP vs Khamzat

Make PPV Great Again!

September is usually in Australia, JDM (if he wins) vs Shavkat would feed families

It isn't like you'd buy it anyway, lol.

 

[KO Shotz]

I imagine almost all of these if not all will happen.

99% of the time, when fights fall through or cards don't get stacked, it's because the fighters demands, injuries, or camps.

Lol Jones vs Aspinall *if it happens* is only gonna be in Vegas or possibly New York City, no way it happens in whatever random place they are going to in August.

Don't they usually do the big NYC shows in November? So, Jones vs. Aspinall is announced for November 2025, Jones hurts himself in camp, and we get Jones vs. Aspinall pushed to some undetermined date in 2026, rinse and repeat.

Doesn't matter what the UFC does people will bitch and whine.

Fighting nerds are bringing the violence every card.

Brother, paying or not. We help to push the brand shit posting on a karate message board.

316 in New Jersey is rumoured to be omalley vs merab 2 and kkf-pantoja co main, I think 317 international fight week card should be ddp vs chimaev and co main event of Ilia vs someone

 

[mmacrisis]

DOn't you realize the UFC has to put on an event every weekend, if not the world will collapse.

 

[CasualBot]

They had the resources to get Fedor

Instead they got...

CM punk, Brock Lesnar, james toney, kimbo,
Ronda one trick pony Rousey, a coked out of his mind drunk irish millionaire, and a series of cheaper russians from various mountains.

Welcome to the UFC.

Do you wanna be a fuckin' fighter?

O’Malley getting a TS makes me sick

Shit like that is why I care way less about the UFC than I used to

Phony, manufactured, bullshit matchmaking

Sounds like every year…

dana is convinced omalley is a big star even though he isn't, he will give him an immediate rematch and hope he fluke kos merab

Yeah Dana has to push button to make events every 108 minutes or the world will implode ...

Fans over here like...

I dont think Dana thinks he's a star necessarily. I think Dana really wants the crowd Sean attracts. Untapped revenue sources baby!

Hey, I’d strongly consider it.

God you're right, pushing the HW Title back to November would be abominable though. So that means its definitely going to happen. Although I'm not sure Jon is going to fight Tom, so Tom vs Gane/Jailton would make sense in Australia or wherever random place they go.
