Who are the stars today? Chimaev? Jones? Aspinal? UFC is really lacking these today but this card is lacking a wiw fight .. something like jones v Aspinal needed to be on this card or Topuria v Islam
I’m starting to understand that the fighters aren’t the stars but rather the 3 letters. It’s the only explanation I can gather for Dana seemingly not talking his fighters up.
Always saying that a card can’t suck until it’s over, mainly when it has fighters that not many people care about.
I fear it is now the wwf , where people just watch it because it’s a ufc event. Gives the fighters ZERO power in negotiations. It’s fuked up
why only 6 fights ? has 2 great fights the rest nobody could care less about,Should have had 11 fights or so and all great ones They have made tons of money Give something back to the fans
Strickland Chimaev would have been a bigger main event.
But the UFC needs to push the younger guy in Ilia. They’re building a star for the next few years, Strickland’s much more fun but too old or too unhinged for them to truly get behind
Matt Serra finished GSP, crazy upsets have happened. Although I highly doubt it but maybe Ilia going through an ugly breakup will fuck with his head and Justin catches him. Ilia is the far better boxer but Justin can KO anyone.
Pereira, Gaethje, Topuria, Suga… they are current stars. No, it’s not what Conor used to be but they are stars. But the opponents… Zahabi instead of Sandhagen? Daukaus?
There are fights they could have made and they either chose not to do them or couldn’t get them done. They should have been sucking Jones dick to get a deal done. They should have got the Conor chandler fight on there. Rousey carano are fighting they should have got that fight. Is rousey still signed to wwe? Aren’t they all one company? Failing all that throw some hail Mary and get a huge name/crossover to debut.
