News Volk vs Diego Lopes - UFC:325 - Sydney - Second "Non-PPV" EVENT Announced

[Black9]

First non bought PPV Announced!

Not sure about the fight.. but Thoughts?!

The tweet says Paramount+ not CBS. Also 324 will be the first Paramount PLE(not PPV), hence the "back-to-back" statement in the tweet.

Changed it!

He it's technically Paramount+, though it is the first "announced" ppv w/o the hefty extra price tag!

 

[moosaev]

“Free PPV” lol. Contradiction in terms buddy.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see what the first card is that lands on big CBS. I was thinking 324 would be it but I guess we'll find out at halftime during the Chiefs/Cowboys game.

Ariel floated it being this:

I don't think I've seen a single person asking for that rematch. The ufc is doing an amazing job at wasting Volk's last few fights. What's next, volk vs. Max 4? Max will eventually get the win right?

Meh

 

[STAY GOLD]

Unnecessary rematch for 324.

Unnecessary rumored fight for 325.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but not an ideal start to the Paramount+ deal.

I'm holding some hope that they test the waters with these ridiculous rumored matchups and that they will arrange more reasonable fights if they get enough backlash.

But an ideal reminder of the UFC brand....."New deal but we ain't going anywhere boys!!!" also Dana hard doubled down on Apex events last presser. Same old UFC baby, lets gooooooo!!!

It's kinda funny that we expected some sort of rebrand when it's the same lackluster roster and shit management

 

[Mammothman]

Stupid fight

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Paramount will pull the plug on Dana and Mick match making by the end of the year...

 

[SamuraiBro]

What a shit way to start the year.

 

[Rhood]

And they couldn't give that fight to undefeated Featherweight Lerone Murphy?
I don't get it

 

[MrBlackheart]

Volk vs Lopes 2 is getting the same mediocre fruit cake again for Christmas.

We knew this would happen since the White House card was announced. Fighters are stalling to get on that card. And UFC is holding back tons of fights hoping to line up a few big headline level matches for that card. We won't get a normal year of fights until the second year of the Paramount deal.

Fair, but there's viable challengers for Volk in Movsar and Lerone and no way should Gaethje be in an interim title fight over Arman specially when Arman said he was available to fight in January at the post fight press conference after his last fight. I don't think Movsar, Lerone or Arman were contenders for that card you mentioned so putting them on cards in January shouldn't make a difference.
