Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Kyle Bochniak now on Main Card (PPV)

[notori0us1]

MMA gods answered our prayers.

at least there is a silver lining in all this. Let's go Zabit!

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

For once the UFC is actually doing something intelligent.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Good choice.

This PPV went from being one of the best in ages, to a circus vargas roller-coaster ride.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

LOL the card is better than before. Conor bless.

I am glad Zabit is on main card now but it sucks that 3 fights were canceled.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Ok now just make it Zabit vs Pettis.

GO!

 

[Sakuraba7]

Praise the Lord. But why arent they doing Zabit vs Pettis....and Bochniak vs Caceres???

Zabit forgoes the weight cut and fights Pettis at LW, whereas Caceres-Bochniak stays at FW.

This makes the most logical sense. I was actually going to make a thread suggesting that but didnt because of the earlier reports of Chiesa still fighting.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Good, he should have been on main card in the first place instead of that Mociano vs Kattar fight which I have no idea why is on the main card.

 

[mirror45]

From 3 fights on early fight pass to only one fight

 

[Deleted member 436105]

Did the FP have like four fights on it?

 

[TankvsNelmark]

Fuck what a disaster of a card

 

[HwoarangStyle]

there is a silver lining through all of this bullshit. now maGOATmedsharipov can show the world what hes about.

 

[maxi diablo]

Funny how New York hesitated to regulate MMA for so long.

 

[Char Jawz]

Ok now just make it Zabit vs Pettis.

GO!

I was thinking Bruce Leroy / Pettis. Why not?

 

[Sakuraba7]

From 3 fights on early fight pass to only fight

Which makes no difference since neither FP prelims would have been seen anyways. At least now it does.

I don't think Pettis would accept zabit.

Pettis vs careres should've been made tho

 

[Spacelord13]

I would have rather not lost the three fights we did. I was really looking forward to one of them. I get what you’re saying. But...

Edit.

I originally said 2 fights. Remembered it was actually 3.

 

[davidlemonparty]

Yeh Wtf why don't carceres and pettis fight. Making that fight, plus forcing herrig and KK to fight naked on PPV would redeem this card in my eyes

 

[theTKDguy]

pettis vs chiesa and borg vs the mexican guy were great matchups. fuck conor, seriously. Hope chiesa and mexican guy recover quickly and grab as much cash as they can from conor.

 

[McGeezle]

Why is Bec vs Ashlee above any fight?

 

[Sakuraba7]

I don't think Pettis would accept zabit.

Its possible, but it's last minute replacements like this that are easy to make people reconsider. Pettis has avoided people before, notably Taosumov, but Zabit is a FW here..and stepping up like Max is for Tony, he has the best shot of beating him and Pettis should know that.

I think they should have tried. Caceres-Zabit is a good plan B, although Bochniak does seem like he's put in hard work and deserves to fight (someone) on the card.
