Any other rumours for the card? I might meet a mate over there Sunday morning but hard to lock in without knowing much of the card. if it's pretty weak it's not worth the effort...

Just Jim and then Quillian Salkid off the contender series and Stewart Nicholl so far.

Slim pickings for main event if Volk/Topuria falls through!

Think it'll be Dricus and Strickland still. At a push maybe Izzy will headline.
Guess it's a PPV so they need a title. Fiziev also rumoured to maybe be on it.
I think Hooker should be on it.

But yeah outside of like JDM getting an interim shot I dunno

Volk won’t get the Australia card when his lost 3 of his last 4.

JDM v Leon, Hooker v Poirer be good but no one needs DDP/Strickland again IMO. Close fight but unnecessary rematch (there's SFA in that division worthy of a title shot either TBF)

I would have said chimaev but I don't even know if he's allowed to fight outside of asi.

I don't think he fights outside the middle east but I dont know specifics on why

I think it's because of his association with the terrorist bloke from Dagestan

Makes sense but he's in heaps of middle eastern guys camps. Are they all banned now? Only noticed Chimaev tbh

That I'm not too sure. I thought khamzat was especially close with him but not sure.
I do know the amount of Abu Dhabi cards and Asia cards they might not need to fight outside anyway

Jones talking about Periera for the BMF belt.
Definitely their next fight if Jones wins

There's only Ank for Perieria and Aspinal for Jones. Asp becomes real champ (he is already) and Jones fights AP as no one cares for the Ank fight

You might mean Kadyrov, head of the Chechen Republic.

 

[RobbyRoy]

He's got a meet & train tour of Australia in December, and I can't imagine the any Combat sports regulators are as strict as the ABF.

Hope Stipe knocks Jon the **** out.

Is there anyone on the planet besides Jon that doesn’t feel this way?

Jones is a bad match up for Pereira I'd say, you can see why he'd be chasing that one over Aspinall. And that's a way more interesting fight than Stipe anyway, would be fun.

"off script" lol.

Looks like the old gloves are returning permanently. So the new gloves are now the old gloves.

We've had some massive moments these last couple of years, but a Stipe knock out here would top them all for me.

Yeah, it's a pathetic match up and one Jones plans to use to claim he beat the goat HW, which makes him the goat HW.

Stipe gets a load of cash and loses nothing reputation wise as no one expects a grandpa to win.

Let's see what happens.
If Jones wins this and you don't give him some praise I may disown ya...
