News Yan vs Aljo OFF of ufc 256

[Londonjitsu]

Yan is a fake champion.
I have said it from the start.
Sandhagen vs sterling was the real title fight.

only delaying the inevitable beatdown that Sterling has coming here.

I can't rationalize buying a Fig Main Event PPV sadly. I like him too, he just needs a strong card behind him. this past one was no chance in hell.

Helwani and Okamoto have both tweeted about UFC 256 in the past hour and haven't said shit about the main event being cancelled.

Like I said, it might be true, but I find it strange that the UFC's primary broadcast partner is refusing to even acknowledge the reports that the fight is off.

really? promotions dont like to reveal that kind of info for as long as possible as to encourage more ppl to buy the product. in the wwe (i know, different) but they will announce mtchups up until minutes before the show goes live and then announce it during the live broadcast even tho they knew weeks in advance. shitty, but they all do it.

Well theres no live gate and people buying the PPV will surely know who's on the card come fight night

So holding back the information of an injury doesnt help the UFC sell anything

The thing is, Yan would beat everyone in the division. That's the champion in my book.

 

[OldFashion]

Oh yes we get another fake 125lb title fight instead of something decent

you mean instead of a fight 10Ibs above that?

 

[GoGetSomeFansJon]

Well at least Fig is stepping in to save the card and we get Tony vs Oliviera as co main. Lets just hope nobody gets covid, pisses hot or gets an injury.

 

[Peli]

Never heard oh this guy

Igor is a reputable source. He has interviewed Khabib's father multiple times and is very much entrenched in russian MMA. Him and Denis dude from RT are good reputable sources

The thong is, he wouldn't and he won't.

 

[13Seconds]

Exactly, I'll wait until someone more credible is reporting this. Nothing on ariels or bretts twitter

How bout now?

Gotta give small time reporters their chance too

 

[Deleted member 567183]

What is exactly happened to Yan ?

 

[today123]

They should have let Connor fight in Decemeber.

 

[is a]

That is quite a bummer. Want to see Sterling fight someone since he is a prospect now, but a huge fight for that event went down the drain soo...

At least we have JDS vs Gane

 

[ArtemV]

Nooo, it is legit. I saw other posts saying the same thing. A possible Sterling injury

 

[Post 2 Decision]

The UFC must have known this and that is why they scheduled Fig vs Moreno so quickly

 

[MMAcolyte]

Fuck sake. Was looking forward to that. With both title fights this card was straight stacked. On the other hand, thanks to Deiveson and Moreno it's right back to just being good.

Usman-Burns has been delayed for a while due to personal reasons for Usman too, I believe. Annoying. But that's life.

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

I won't be surprised if they going to skip sterling

 

[MMAcolyte]

This card also lost Nunes-Anderson due to what I believe (but could be mistaken) was a non-injury related reason to the champ.

Even if that fight wouldn't have been exciting, at least Nunes satiates our need for blood and violence when fighting lesser opponents.

Uncle Dana is getting lenient with his champions in his old age.

 

[Carsormyr]

Well that fucking sucks. At least we get another Figgy Smalls fight though.
