Holloway is medically unfit to fight according to the New York State Athletic Commission. Dana White is thinking of bringing in Anthony Pettis to fight vs Khabib. Lawl what a disaster this turned out to be.

So Conor McGregor attacked the bus that was taking the fighters back to their hotel from the press conference. In case you guys didn't know, it started when Khabib and his team went to Artem Lobov (who is part of McGregor's team) started bullying him.
McGregor didn't take it sitting down.

Watch the vid. Holloway is actually selling the event better than Ferguson does. I kinda like his personality better. I wonder what the pre fight conference would be like if McGregor and Holloway were fighting.
And I agree with bbc.reporter... Namajunas vs JJ could may well become a trilogy (more money for the UFC). Just made a bet on JJ at 1.86.

F*ck guys... Ferguson is out of 223 due to injury! There was a freak accident or something, don't know the details yet. This sucks. The event went from a 10 to a 5.
Holloway is taking the fight in Ferguson's place.
There is no one in the division that could make this much interest than a super fight with the champion Holloway. The freak accident sucks without a doubt and i really do not want to comment in this thread till the last day because i did not want this fight to be moved again and still it is not going to happen in the near future.Holloway is taking the fight in Ferguson's place.
I can already see a conspiracy here to favor Conor hehehe.
Dana White will make sure that Max Holloway wins and becomes a double champion in the lightweight and featherweight divisions. Then on December 29, 2018 in UFC 239, Conor will challenge Max and Dana will make sure that this time Conor wins and makes him a double champion once again.
This is not the Wwe to script the winner. Dana White will make sure that Max Holloway wins and becomes a double champion in the lightweight and featherweight divisions. Then on December 29, 2018 in UFC 239, Conor will challenge Max and Dana will make sure that this time Conor wins and makes him a double champion once again.
If Max Holloway could somehow win this fight it would be against two double champions one reigning and the other retired. as McNuggets has no plans to fight top competition especially Khabib and Tony.

I reckon Rose versus Joanna might become be a trilogy. Dana needs to create artificial drama until Connor comes back hehehe.
I predict Joanna is going to win in a controversial split decision. It will be one of the best engineering jobs by Dana.

Meh... Still can't believe Ferguson is out. I was still hoping it was all an April Fool's joke until April 2. Lolol.
Anyway here are some vids to get you guys back into it somehow. Enjoy.

Dana White said he will "never" book Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov again. Dana has tried to make this fight happen since 2016.
I'm not happy Max Holloway took this fight. Was hoping another lightweight could step up on short notice. Tony Ferguson sounded very bitter, almost like the fight was over in some of the recent press conferences(like the one Tokeweed posted in this thread on march 29th) . I wonder if Ferguson was injured days or weeks ago, and they're only reporting it now that they've finally found a replacement. The timing for the news release on April 1st, April Fool's Day seems like a publicity stunt.
Oh well, its been two weeks since we've had a UFC event. At least the MMA drought will finally come to an end.

This is frustrating. After waiting for many days for the Nurmagomedov vs Ferguson fight, now we have Nurmagomedov vs Holloway. I mean no disrespect to Max Holloway. He is a very good fighter. But I don't like his technique and IMO he is no match for Nurmagomedov.

Also, from what I have seen from Joanna, she might want to get 1 win back hehehe.
I am also waiting for that match in MMA and in my opinion Valentina Shevchenko is much more skilled than Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Joanna actually blames her weight cut for her loss and the media obligations are said to be a burden now , even in the last fight i never expected Rose Namajunas to win by knockout and i am sure no experts predicted that either, lets see whether it was a fluke .

Ferguson lost it in this one. He was trying too hard in bullying Khabib and it back fired. Oh well...

This is the usually norm nowadays in MMA, so much trashtalk and bad blood which are actually just for show! I blame McGreggor for this as he has really made a lot of money with this! He hypes the fight through trashtalking every single fighter he is up against this made him famous and rich and eventually had a chance to fight Mayweather which made him more famous and rich!

Nurmagomedev I think has the edge here as this is probably his biggest fight to date and it is also a title bout. You can't also say that he is an underdog as if you look at his fight record most of his wins are from Submissions and TKOs which means a lot. Their fight between him and Ferguson are expected since 2015 and now it is really happening, this is one of the things you want to watch as they are both excellent fighters, but between them I would be leaning over to Khabib who would be winning the fight.
March 26, 2018, 09:59:25 PM
@SaShiRaJaVu. I speculate that Dana is already setting up his storyboard for one of the biggest fights for 2019. If Joanna wins her belt back and Valentina wins the women's flyweight championship, then we might see a champion versus champion match up for both.
Also, from what I have seen from Joanna, she might want to get 1 win back hehehe.

Jedrzejczyk's kickboxing was overrated imo. I think before Jedrzejczyk moved to american top team her kickboxing was better than Karolina's but not by a lot. Valentina vs Joanna could be a good rematch in MMA as its been said Valentina is 3-0 against Joanna in kickboxing.
Valentina Shevchenko is my favorite fighter in the women's division after Cyborg and Valentina has three wins over Jedrzejczyk and she was fighting against bigger opponents in Bantamweight division and with the new division open in the UFC she is the future champion in Flyweight division and i do not see anyone challenging her in that division as it is the right division for her size. March 24, 2018, 09:43:49 PM
@Hydrogen. I agree that Rose has come a long way since the Ultimate Fighter, but I highly disagree that Joanna is overrated.
Joanna may not have the power to knock out her opponents, but her skills are very exceptional, not only in her division, but as a pound for pound comparison against the rest. Including the men's divisions.
Also, I like Rose but Joanna will get her belt back.

This is going to be interesting indeed. Namajunas isn't a good fighter, lacking the skill, especially in the punches. You could see it in her fight with VanZant which she barely won against a fighter that is more of a celebrity than a fighter. Jedrzejczyk was always a great boxer. In that last fight she wasn't herself. Very slow, got outplayed, that's it. I hope she'll show more this time.
Namajunas has come a long way since losing the ultimate fighter finale against Carla Esparza for the 115 lb title. I think somewhere along the line, Valentina Shevchenko and Rose Namajunas began training/sparring together. Also Rose seems to have tightened up her diet and nutrition game which improved her cardio dramatically over where it was in the past, where she used to fade and slow down in her fights. Rose could have come a long way and progressed a lot.
Jedrzejczyk's kickboxing was overrated imo. I think before Jedrzejczyk moved to american top team her kickboxing was better than Karolina's but not by a lot. Valentina vs Joanna could be a good rematch in MMA as its been said Valentina is 3-0 against Joanna in kickboxing.
March 24, 2018, 02:54:13 PM
-Joanna Jedrzejczyk directed some of the blame for her last loss against Rose @ her nutrition and weight cutting crew. It will be interesting to see if that change makes a difference in the rematch.
