Ufc fight night

MAIN CARD

Robert Whittaker vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Jeremy Stephens vs. Drakkar Klose
Andrei Arlovski vs. Chase Sherman
Abdul Razak Alhassan vs. Jacob Malkoun
Luis Pena vs. Alex Munoz
UNDERCARD

Tracy Cortez vs. Justine Kish
Alexander Romanov vs. Juan Espino
Jessica Penne vs. Lupita Godinez
Bartosz Fabinski vs. Gerald Meerschaert
Austin Hubbard vs. Dakota Bush
Tony Gravely vs. Anthony Birchak

Like the top two fights on this card. Stephen’s always brings it and the main event should be a good one

Then you have the askren vs Paul fight. No telling what goes on there. I just hope askren wins he is a such a cool motherfricker.he has overshadowed jake Paul so much in this you would think he is the social media star.

Apparently Dana White contacted Freddy Roach to ask him to help Ben. Ben spent...one whole week training with Roach my dude is showing up for a half million dollar paycheck with a bad hip and a week of real training. I hope i'm wrong, but it's gonna be bad.

he said he didnt want roach tied up in a circus. If he hasnt picked up striking in his mma career then he isnt going to pick it up in a couple of months.

A once incredible ncaa wrestler who was awesome in every fighting organization until he signed with the UFC. He beat Robbie lawler but got knocked out within 5 seconds due to a flying knee by Jorge Masvidal

I think Jake Paul wins but thats exactly why Paul picked someone like Askren. None of the fighters who would actually beat him will ever take the fight because they know Jake is doing this for self promotion

Are you saying someone that could kick Paul’s arse wouldn’t take a 500k payday plus sponsors because he is doing self promotion? That doesn’t make sense.

It’s definitely self promotion for jake in that if he does win he can gloat that he beat a high level mma guy.

An MMA fighter or boxer who can kick Paul's arse isn't going to take $500,000 when Paul is going to end up getting multiple millions from his sponsors and PPV buys. See what I'm saying? Jake Paul only wants to fight Conor McGregor because its a big payday for him, he won't fight someone else who can kick his arse because nobody will care to watch him get his arse beat unless its by someone with clout.

Anyone who watches MMA and Boxing knows that Ben Askren is a wrestler with pillow soft punches. It's very paper champion type stuff. The only people who will think Jake Paul should be taken seriously are his little fangirls.

ETA: I would also wager that Jake Paul picked a smaller dude than him so he wouldn't be physically intimidated. He comes across as a big fricking pussy.

Most fighters aren’t making 500k a fight. Nobody is turning down an easy 500k. That’s why you saw so many fighters saying they would fight him just to frick him up.
