Its clear they'd like Diaz to get pieced up by fighting Luque or Khamzat on his last fight of the current deal to kill his negotiating leverage, but why not have these 2 bulls fight each other for a title shot and cash in on Diaz/Conor III before both have no more drawing power?

Is it just me or does Usman seem very distracted/unfocused for this fight? I know it's still pretty early in the week & some might see it as confidence.

In interviews so far, Colby seems very focused & ready while Usman is talking about his next big money fight against Canelo or Adesanya and hanging out in the comment sections on Instagram.

Hard to stay hungry as champ. Still, though, he doesn't fear Covington, and has already finished him, so who does/should feel more pressure?

It’s insanely hard to not like Colby after watching his interviews.

I guess, if you are into the mudshow wrestling version of Chael.

I mean cumshot Chimeav, how unoriginal.. what is he watching to study his wrestling promos.. ICP's old wrestling fed

Dude got booted out of his gym by Dan Lambert, same dude who is goofing around in pro wrestling feuding with Chris Jericho

also nice of Colby to go after Dustin Poirier's daughter.. this is a guy I'm supposed to like?

btw, I'm not much of a fan of Usman either, I'm hoping for the Khamzat train smesh both

Also, is this really Joe Rogan's first UFC event in 4 months?

Crazy. Glad to have him back

There seems to be this huge groundswell of people who don't like Rogan on commentary now and want him gone. I don't get it.

I prefer Paul Felder but I'd agree Rogan is probably better than Cruz. I miss Brian Stann, he was easily the best of the modern era.

They’re moving the Gaethje/Chandler fight to the first fight of the main card. Kind of sucks but makes sense being that it’s a non title fight and Whitman would have to coach three fights in a row if they kept it as a co-main.

He’s the anti Jon Jones. Colby acts like the bad guy on camera but a good guy off screen. Jon Jones acts like a good but but in reality a scumbag.

The people who hate on him don't understand why he has to do & say all of these controversial things.

Blame Conor McGregor for Colby's attitude, but he's just following his lead. Paid off for McGregor.

He's ripping off Chael more than Conor, but Chael basically just cut old wrestling promos and put thought into what he said.. Conor has lost his mind, but he was so quick and charismatic before the downfall.. Colby's promos are just weak try hard ramblings, and he's not really a draw.. Conor's last fight did almost 2 million buys, Colby's last PPV did 300k

Trevor Whitman will be cornering three main card fights in a row. Great chance his fighters go 3-0 for the night.

Well the only people that count are the judges and here's the score card

He would've had to win Rd 5 on two of the cards, but he didn't




just rewatched Rd 5 & Usman would have clearly won without the finish so


Your post doesnt really make sense. You said the only peoples opinion that matters is the judges and show the score card that shows usman 1, covington 1, and tied from the other. Then you say that you think usman was winning the 5th round. It was an extremely close fight and 1 or two things from either side could have swayed it either way which was my point in the original post.

Thats dumb to compare him to the most charismatic fighter since ali. His schtick has worked. He went from an unknown to meeting with a sitting president, and being one of the most popular fighters on the roster.

Dc and rogan suck together. I think rogan lost alot of fans when him and dc were sucking off adesanya when jan was whooping him.

Cruz had his dumb moment in the khabib conor fight but I like his dynamic better to counter rogan vs DC.

If chandler gets knocked out I wouldnt mind him getting some time. Dude was great behind the desk when i have seen him there I think he is a natural for that type of job.

Rogan is the OG though. I think DC sucks more & probably brings Joe down with him.

Rogan & Chandler would be a good duo, but I'm not sure how much longer Rogan will be in this. I think his success with the podcast has caused him to lose motivation/interest for the UFC broadcast (i.e. taking 4 months off).

Maybe we overestimated his skill because of all the years he was calling next to Goldberg.

I really liked Goldberg but Anik has grown on me. Anik is def 100% professional and prepared and I respect that.

btw vicente luque is the backup plan and will weigh in in case somebody misses.
