Dustin is still a legit top 5 LW in the world and can still bang with anyone.

This take is just ludicrous

Yep. Dustin still brings it.

Current rumor for Dustin is that he's fighting Max for the BMF title. I think that's a great fight for him to go out on.




to me it doesnt make sense to fight a guy that you have already beat twice for your last fight...

It's not like he's going to get a "real" title fight in his last fight. Max lost a title shot recently, so it's also not like you are derailing someone's ascent if they lose to Dustin on his way out, either. At least he can go out at the BMF champion, seems like that would be fitting and would be an entertaining last fight.

he already lost a fight for the bmf against gaethje. I dont see how you could be the bmf if you already lost a bmf fight. thats just my opinion. I also dont see the need for a 3rd max fight. Id rather see an Ilia or paddy fight.

We're lucky to finally be getting another Fight Night so I'm not complaining.

Supposedly a Paddy fight was turned down for some reason, and they won’t waste a Topuria fight on Dustin. What if Dustin wins? You just burned a title contender for nothing. At least if Topuria fights Gaethje or Oliveira, it could potentially setup a title fight for the winner of that fight. With Gaethje just fighting, Oliveira makes sense.

Nothing announced but New Orleans will be the location, July or August

Seems like Poirier vs Holloway which would be a PPV I think

Probably a fight night.

I don't know if they trust NOLA with a PPV.

Am I the only one who thinks ilia/gaethje makes sense?

The fact that it’s “July or August” makes me think it could be a PPV.
UFC 318 or 319

That fight makes zero sense for poirier. He already beat max twice. Ilia is the fight to make
