News Umar Nurmagomedov has a fight

[swimba]

There can only be one

Even though Chito is higher ranked I think Munhoz is a much tougher matchup and we’d learn more about Umar. There’s such a clear path to victory against Chito that it feels like a forgone conclusion.

Perhaps. I guess, as a fan of Umar, I just wanna see him fight the highest-ranked guy.
He beats Munhoz and, what, they just switch spots in the rankings?
Such a good division with such a crappy log-jam at the top. We need a new face fighting for the title soon.

about damn time! Umar's like a more finish-minded version of Khabib. got a great KO last time i saw him fight. hope that mentality doesnt backfire on him though.

Merab please

Yeah we need some faces for sure but the logjam up there is why I’m not super pressed about Umar being a little slow rolled. If he beat Chito then what. He has to sit and wait until Sterling-O’Malley is done and then Merab 100% should be 1/2 of the next title fight.

Guess he could fight back if he gets Chito next and beats him. Best case Scenario for Umar is he gets a finish over Munhoz which would be a huge feather in the cap imo and then gets someone in the top 5 then TS. 135 is a bit of mess at the top imo

I wonder if Cruz will do a solid for the company and feed himself to Umar on a PPV.

Hopefully it's a main event

Those are reserved for people like Holly Holm, Strickland, Hermansson & Vettori you goof

Its supposed to be a main event actually. And it looks like a super easy and favorable matchup for Umar to get him over too.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Merab??

Merab already refused publicly.

LOL yes of course. Umar might get fook around and gst his opponent out of there in a round or two, and won't even say anything edgy afterwards. People pay good money for a main event, and Holly and Strickland will give them the full 25 minutes, with everything from ish ish air punches to tepid wall-n-stall, and might even say something weird afterwards.

Munhoz would actually be very fitting if true, and if he wins that one give him a top 5 guy.

What did chito do something controversial? Out of the loop

He flipped off Frankie! Everyone knows you dont flip off Frankie.
