^ No idea... But on days when he isn't cutting weight, Adesanya walks around with a good 200 lbs in him. That's prolly his normai weight so it shouldn't really be a problem for him to move up.

Adesanya started using the name of Jon Jones to get attention and he got that and till now he was teasing Jon Jones that he will move up and Jones was already calling him out for a long time and once Jones vacated the belt and announced that he will only fight again in the heavyweight division Adesanya decided to move up in weight Cheesy

Time goes fast and in no time we are going to watch Max Holloway fight again, and I have to say I miss UFC and MMA...watching so much European football meanwhile

I am looking early betting odds and Holloway is favorite to win, but I like all card as first even in 2021....give me anything to watch.

UFC Fight Night: Holloway VS Kattar

Dont know which fight should no be missed except main fight of the evening. Dont know why bookies are in favor of Holloway, because they both seems identical on the paper.

^ Yup... I'm more excited for Adesanya vs Blachowicz for the LHW title this coming March. If Adesanya wins, it sets him up for a match vs Jon Jones which is gonna be huuuge.

Their weight difference is +/- 8kg. Wont it be too much to gain for Adesanya? Adesanya already gained a bit against Costa and it made him look funny Cheesy

What he will turn into in Light Heavy ?

^ Happy new year! 2021 is gonna be another great for the UFC for sure. We got Holloway vs Kattar and McGregor vs Poirier main events for January. Sad that Chimaev vs Edwards was cancelled. Would've been nice to see that... I'm still not sold on Chimaev.

Yeah, people are just looking for the new Khabib or to drum up some rivalry between him and McGregor. McNugget's fights are always better when there's some beef between them.

McGregor VS Poirier I would love to see that please, the retirement of Khabib had really hit hard on me I don't know why but I am not getting excited about watching other fights than with his fights, but I think I am feeling enthusiastic again after some break and I think the upcoming fight between Poirier and McGregor with enlightening it again, Happy New Year Guys! and GOD Bless us all.

I don't think McGregor VS Poirier will be that great. As much as I'd like to see him fight again this will probably be a disappointment. It would be an ok warm up fight for McGregor if he's for sure going to continue fighting on after it but if he's just going to bounce straight after he collects his pay check or 'retire' again then I don't really care.

Check out latest short clip from Khabib Nurmagomedov interview for Russian TV with english subtitles, and later it was explained that the Khabib said that the winner McGregor vs Poirier will fight for the title:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olPmam7a3LU

I saw a recent interview with Dana White and the reporter asked about this particular interview and what he is said is that the translation was not right and so is the reason you heard these sort of headlines. According to Dana White Khabib Nurmagomedov said the fight between McGregor and Poirier should be the number one contender and Dana White still hopes to make the Khabib McGregor rematch Cheesy

.

I'd like to see them fight again, but Khabib really doesn't seem into it. That money might come in handy for his own UFC promotion thing he's doing though so why not go all out for his 30th fight. The McGregor/Poirier fight shouldn't be for a belt. Neither of them deserve it right now. Maybe the winner could fight Khabib for it if Dana can manage to persuade him to return (though Khabib beat Poirier in 2019).

@7788bitcoin. Is that what Dana really said or is that the translation of the video?

In any case, Dana is a businessman. Khabib has a new MMA promotion called Eagles MMA where he needs Dana’s help for distribution and marketing. I reckon Dana can use money and that as an offer to convince Khabib to return.

Dana White said that the interview Khabib did was in Russian and the translators messed up with the translation and they are having a serious meeting this month in UAE and the MMA promotion of Khabib will be airing in UFC fight pass and they already had a deal about that and we will see more talents getting signed with the UFC and the Russian fighters will use his platform as a stepping stone.

This is the interview with The Schmo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI5BzvYoNvM

Not sure if this really belong to this topic, but those who had not enough of contact sport this year, might be interested watch:

This event will happen TODAY! @6PM EST

The Submission Underground 20 event airs live and exclusively on UFC Fight Pass.

Ryan Bader (current Bellator heavyweight champ), Satoshi Ishii (once was quite a tough guy in MMA) are the guys to pay attention to at this event.

^ Yup Poirier vs Hooker was a banger. Another 'shock of the year' could be the return of Brian Ortega. Nobody expected that he'd evolve a lot as a fighter after his long lay off.

Agree with disappointment of the year. Both Adesanya and Costa were undefeted, Adesanya evades Costa for 2 years. Costa was so hyper for this fight and had lost so badly. He simply did not know what to do.

Shock of the year - retirement of Nurmagomedov.

Fight of the year - I liked Poirier vs Hooker fight.

^ Exactly... With all the hype on Costa and, before the fight, a lot of people were rooting for him to have the style to give Adesanya problems. Wasn't so. Total domination by Adesanya which is why it's unforgettable for me. It really showed that Adesanya is on another level. Whether he's something special like Anderson Silva remains to be seen. I guess we'll see it if he fights Jon Jones and wins.

Too early for Chim... The postponed match vs Leon Edwards would've made him one tho. But then again Edwards is a world beater. If Chim beats him, it's prolly the WW title next.

^ At the top of my head, Adesanya vs Costa and Thiago Santos vs Teixeira. Disappointment of the year there's Sean O'Malley. Fighter to watch next year, def Fiziev. He'll be at the top 10 at LW for sure.

Adesanya and Costa was a complete one sided fight despite all the hype, the fight of the year was Justin Gaethje v Tony Ferguson as i did not expect Justin Gaethje to win against Ferguson and the disappointment for the year was Tony Ferguson as he lost two in a row and the another one is Khabib announcing his retirement. Sean O'Malley injured his leg in the fight and i think they are scheduled for a rematch next year.

The superstar of the year is none other than Khamzat Chimaev.

Edit: There are lots of guys to watch out for on 2021 but another one that stands out is Romanov at HW. He's fun.
