Looks like Jon Jones is going to will vacate his UFC light heavyweight title after
going up and down with UFC President Dana White publicly several times!
Would be interesting to hear reaction from all other fighters if this is confirmed.

Agreed! I also appears that Jon Jones might also be in hurting need for money. He was demanding to receive $15m from the company as mentioned by Dana on the press conference. I speculate that he wants to retire after a big fight hehehe.

Gilbert Burns and Katlyn Chookagian proved a point. I did not expect Gilbert Burns to outbox Tyron Woodley as i thought Woodley was always explosive but Burns shut him down every round and Burns called out for a title fight or a fight against Colby Covington and the number of title contenders in the division is growing and for Woodley to get another title shot is really small.

I did not expect this result, i thought Tyron Woodley could win the fight and he was the favorite and i have not seen Gilbert Burns fight earlier either. I thought Woodley would get an immediate rematch after loosing his title and that never happened and now he lost another fighter to an upcoming talent and it will be difficult to be back into title contention.

Now i really think he is really having some mental breakdown, till now i never thought about this situation even though he was messing up and getting into trouble with the law all the time now after the pandemic we are seeing the break down of one of the greatest fighters and showing signs of some sort of depression. If he keeps on going around like this and getting into fight with the boss then he might not last that long because he already has a soar relationship with Dana for years.

Gilbert Burns was better then Woodley in all rounds, and this is one deserved win for him.
Just look at Woodley face Shocked

Same thing I can say for Katlyn Chookagian in fight against A.Shevchenko

It was a very exciting match, Obviously, Gilbert Burns deserves this win, it was the 2nd non-stoppage victory of his career. I've seen the full match, I could not blink for a moment, he played very well. Gabriel green lost to Daniel Rodriguez by a unanimous decision. I really hope he will give us greater matches in the future.

Congratulations on those who bet on Burns (with a hefty odds too - 2.60 average on different sportsbooks). After the fight, he went ahead and told the reporters that he's ready for the title. Looking forward to his next match.

As for betting, I stayed away from the main card and just stuck with the preliminary ones where I see some value. And boy, Chris Gutierrez delivered and won me some cash over the weekend. Grin

^ Yup. I was expecting Woodley to take advantage of the smaller cage but no. He was passive as usual and wasn't able to fully use his explosiveness vs Burns. And Burns exploited it. Good match.

Can't wait for the next one.

A disappointing comeback for Woodley.

Indeed but we saw how Gilbert cleanly burned him so there's really nothing we can complain about Grin

. That cut on his right eye (that's huge ouch) punished him all throughout the fight. That's why you may noticed that he ended up hugging every time they're having a clinch especially on the late rounds.

Burns completely dominated him. He is now having a 6 win streak Shocked

. What's next? Maybe a title shot with Kamaru. Let's see.

A disappointing comeback for Woodley. It could be ring rust from the long lay off. He is already out of title contention and may need two or three impressive bouts before he can be back. Maybe it's time for the former champ to retire, he's already 38-years old anyway. I don't see him winning against upcoming fighters at welterweight unless he does a Daniel Cormier.

It doesn't look like Woodley has much of a size advantage. I thought he was taller and bigger but he isn't. Dropping some action on Burns ML at 2.45 (FJ odds). I think I'm gonna go with Sakai and Chookgian too.

You guys should also know that the cage for this event is 20ish percent smaller. So bet accordingly.

Even i do not want to see the rematch between Masvidal and Nate Diaz but McGregor and Nate Diaz trilogy would be a great fight as the second fight was really close

It's not as appealing as it was before. Nate loss his last fight while Conor won. I believe Conor is gunning for a title shot and I feel like Nate is not the right fight to make for him to move closer. At least Nate has to register a convincing win to make himself relevant and back in the mix again.

I want to see Usman and Masvidal next and i do not see the BMF coming back again unless McGregor wants that title.

I thought Usman vs Masvidal was a done deal but listening to Dana, it looks like negotiation among the three parties have fallen apart and it's most likely due to disagreement in revenue shares. I think that's the reason he threw other names to fight for the title.

To be honest, I want to see Mike Tyson competing in the ring for the last time (maybe). I have watched Mike Tyson's video, he looks strong and tough despite the influence on the age factor, the charity fight is not just entertainment but will greatly help the crisis when lockdown up and I fully support if this match will be held.

Even i was impressed by the training video but going for a real fight at 53 is really not a bright idea. Mike Tyson needs to be smart and pick his opponent like Floyd Mayweather who fought a very tiny fighter for millions in Asia and he should do the same rather than fighting someone who is dangerous. I am a fan of Mike Tyson but no idea why he want to fight for real at a really old age.

Personally, I'm not interested in Masvidal-Diaz rematch or a McGregor-Diaz trilogy. Not that I don't like Diaz but I'd rather see more Masvidal & McGregor fight someone new. That's more exciting to me.

Even i do not want to see the rematch between Masvidal and Nate Diaz but McGregor and Nate Diaz trilogy would be a great fight as the second fight was really close and somehow McGregor was able to edge that and in the first fight McGregor was stopped and so it would be great to see their trilogy.

Dana White just announced that bantamweight title fight will probably be Petr Yan vs Jose Aldo for the vacant UFC.

If Jose Aldo can cut the weight properly i expect him to win the vacant belt as Petr Yan just have a aged Urijah Faber in his profile to get a push for the title and i doubt whether he is ready for the belt.

Also, this news. Mike Tyson and Wanderlei Silva in a bareknuckle fight. Someone might die hehehe.

The offer is $20 millions for a bare knuckle fight, do they pull those numbers to shell out that kind of money. I have seen some bare knuckle fights and it is really brutal as the face looks like pulp after the fight and it is really like watching a horror movie.

Quote from: Bttzed03 on May 28, 2020, 02:22:36 AM

Usman's next title fight is not going to be Conor McGregor. It's going to be one of the top contenders at 170 and list includes Masvidal, Woodley/Burns, Edwards, and Covington. He said he's not interested in the BMF title defense and would rather focus on the UFC title right now.

I want to see Usman and Masvidal next and i do not see the BMF coming back again unless McGregor wants that title.

Interesting for sure and I would watch that, crowd or no crowd.

I have not seen Petr Yan fight live and only heard his name recently and i will watch this fight to see whether Jose Aldo can win his second belt and if he could that would be epic.

Quote from: bbc.reporter on May 27, 2020, 09:51:16 PM

Jose Aldo deserves it. I reckon that he won his fight against Marlon Moraes for the bantamweight title eliminator of December last year. Dana might be giving him his rightful share of opportunity.

Also, this news. Mike Tyson and Wanderlei Silva in a bareknuckle fight. Someone might die hehehe.

Jose Aldo was supposed to fight Henry Cejudo and because of the pandemic he could not take that fight and he fully deserved the fight.

Mike Tyson and Wanderlei Silva would be madness, i would prefer them to retire and not come back even for an exhibition fight.

What is the situation with Kamaru Usman and Conor McGregor as i have seen social media news that Conor McGregor is going after the third title and Jorge Masvidal who was supposed to fight Kamaru Usman will be taking on Nate Diaz for a rematch. Are these fights confirmed or just bullshit news.

They're just trying to measure each other in social media. Dana talks about those two fights in his recent interview with ESPN. Usman's next title fight is not going to be Conor McGregor. It's going to be one of the top contenders at 170 and list includes Masvidal, Woodley/Burns, Edwards, and Covington. He said he's not interested in the BMF title defense and would rather focus on the UFC title right now.
