Would have to assume Khamzat, Islam and Belal were offered to Leon. The first two won't fight during Ramadan. Belal will, but no one wants that fight to headline 300. That being said, it was probably even further down Dana's list than fourth. Any combo of Alex, DDP, and Izzy was also ahead haha.

Overall the card is still a banger, I mean we don't get a huge main event but the card is deep, unmissable of course.

And boys UFC 100 is on Youtube, for now anyway. Watched the whole thing yesterday, great card, worth a revisit. The first event I watched live was 101 so i just missed this at the time.

Umm so chandler just showed up on WWE RAW challenging Conor (to a ufc fight, not wwe). The cross overs have begun...

 

[Ry009]

Moreso to promote UFC/WWE doing the joint event weekends in Anaheim over the next 3 years isn't it?

Yes I know but the promotional side of things doesn't necessarily have to criss cross because of the TKO merger.

If it's just promotional it's not a bad thing imo, it's free marketing for them essentially and it's worked people are talking about it.

100% agree, I mean as pointless as it might be really I'm keen for Chandler v McGregor, gonna be fun.

Conor isn't fighting again

Been out nearly 3 years since the leg break & he's 35. He's also 3-4 since 2016 ffs. Should be treated like a journeyman at this point, the Irish Masvidal.

 

[Quivorir]

Jesus christ the disrespect Conor gets. The Irish Masvidal? Masvidal was always a bum. Conor was the exact opposite.

It's not 2016 Conor. He's been a bum since Khabib took his manhood.

Conor went on quite a run pre Mayweather, people forget this because of how rich he is.

Of course people forget, he's acted like he's still world champ when he refuses to fight anymore

2014 Conor = Great
2024 Conor = Journeyman

He won't fight again anyway, it's a moot point.

Lol thought it was pretty clear you ment Conor now and not before but you don't need me to stick up for you.

He's the biggest draw in MMA history, of course he struts around like King Dick.

He is in a difficult spot as I've said before, he's a main eventer and I'd doubt he beats anyone ranked at the moment.

Doesn't mean you still need to treat him or idolize him like he's king dick. As an actual MMA fighter he's an embarrassment these days.

I'm surprised he's not chasing freak show fights like Jake Paul and the like, that's where he should be at now.

Because he's an arrogant prick who can make all the money in the world but can't live without the respect being a UFC champion gives you.

and I’m reminded why I stopped posting on this board.

Journeyman…..

Because you have a weird obsession with a retired Irish bloke?

Journeyman…..

3-4 since 2016. His wins are Diaz, Eddie, and Cerrone - 2 of those very meh

What would you describe that run as? Why does he deserve such esteem when he legitimately hasn't been good for 10ish years

And only one of those wins at his actual weight class aswell.

 

[Dan]

If the likes of Masvidal & McGregor are journeyman…..who would you regard as a good fighter or a great fighter lol.

People just don’t know what they’re looking at or and they can’t get past their pettyness because some fighters beat to the sound of their own drum.
