Barber, Viera, and Nascimento all missed weight. Gustaffson-Giles fight scrapped late due to a Giles injury.

On a separate note, why isn't the UFC's off week directly after a numbered card instead of sandwiched between Fight Nights?

Also, I'm wondering whether the UFC hasn't filled out its 318 card to see how Holobaugh and Chiasson fair tonight.

A Gamrot W & maybe a chance for him to hop on 318. What is Arman/Gaethje doing? Gaethje supposedly waiting for a title shot after Ilia/Oliviera. Arman vs Gamrot at 318 makes sense, but we’re <8 weeks out

Some talk alluding to Pimblett/Arman, but Pimblett claims to want Gaethje instead.

IMO, that’s too quick of a turnaround.

Paddy wants no part of Arman. He's basically Islam 2.0, but doesn't play Dana's games so he's in the UFC shite house and he doesnt care because he doesnt need the money.

It didn't help Arman's cause to bail on his title shot 24 hours before the event saddling Dana with that awful Islam/Moicano matchup.

They added Michael Johnson and another prospect. Should be a banger. Probably the backup fight also if max pulls out. Poirier can get it back from Johnson.

Can they put the actual weight in parentheses after the division? I can never remember them.

They flashed Usman-Buckley, June 14.

I think Buckley is too fast and too powerful for Usman at this age and stage of Usman's career. Usman's knees are shot.

Usman and Adesanya, kind of parallel stories, fell from the top and now just trying to get a win. Fight game is brutal.

Welp.

On one hand, Holobaugh didn't even make it out of 2 minutes in yet another loss.

On the other, he didn't sustain any damage.

I’m a big fan of Buckley. He knows how to sell a fight and can knock mfers out.

Sounds like he can have his retirement fight in Nola also

I was wondering when Leavitt was going to return, I saw him in some December fight years and years ago, hadn't seen him since. Thought maybe he left fighting or something.

He reminds me of Andy Kaufman, the weirdness.

Ok, you can go on a date with either Erin Blanchfield or Maycee Barber. Who do you choose?

I would date Erin Blanchfield, she seems like she would be nicer / more polite.

Maycee definitely hotter and apparently throws a football really well
