Ngannou knows it better which is why he called his own production GIMIK Fight Promotions. It's all Gimik. Dricus and Izzy are probably preparing to be on the top of PFL Africa which was recently launched.

Adesanya in the cage after the fight is like a scene in WWE. We have seen it many times when we were kids watching Undertaker and Hulk Hogan. It's all drama for the fight promotion. We're still fooled though because it's a real fight than the ones we see on WWE.

Ngannou knows it better which is why he called his own production GIMIK Fight Promotions. It's all Gimik. Dricus and Izzy are probably preparing to be on the top of PFL Africa which was recently launched.

Dricus Du Plessis commanded himself as more of the man then Adesanya did during this altercation in the ring.
Which of course was constructed by Dana sort of the same of what happened to Suga Sean several months ago with the 'I stole your jacket' incident. And has already been was forgotten a couple of events later.
Just pure childish acts nothing more.
This has something different involved where the CEO has outright completely denied it in the post-fight press conference.
I personally don't like where this is going and many in the UFC fan influencers circle have the very same feelings on how a dark turn this whole thing has taken.

 Lets be real, no one will take the shit of watch others insulting your tribe or region, Dricus was indirectly  tell Adesanya that his not an African. that hurt Adesanya, just like everyone would have reacted, seeing your brother telling the world you're not from Africa,  i don't see any childish stuff in Adesanya confronting Dricus in the ring. it happens, he is not the first  confront his next opponent in the ring. before the match, Adesanya has already had a plan to confronted him after the game.

lets just wait and watch their next match, i root for the Nigerian man Adesanya for the champion.

He did actually act like a spoiled brat there but I think there's a root over all those things that's why he acted like that. It just all piled up and so he released it in the octagon which is a big mistake. He really looked like a villain while saying all those things to Dricus Du Plessis. Some people are looking up to Israel Adesanya and think of him as their hero, this act will probably decrease the number of fans that follows him.

Now, it is a must-win fight for The Stylebender. He must prove all the words that came out of his mouth on that day. Also, because of the less damage that Drucus received during the fight against Robert Whittaker, they might schedule it as early as they can so fasten your seatbelts because we will see the champion fight again and try to defend his title.
I am excited but I am kind of in doubt with the odds that will be given by our favorite sports bookies. I wish 1.50 - 1.70 for Adesanya.

I am only excited with the Main Event for sure but will look on with the Co-Main aswell but for the Holm VS Silva fight this is going to be a banger for sure Mayra Bueno Silva is not a walk in the park for Holly Holm, due to her perfect wrestling game this is going to be a crucial fight for her, while for sure Holly Holm is readying for this fight for sure and for me as she have said in her previous fight and interview she surely likes a challenge and surely Holly Holm is an adjusting fighting on who is her opponent,

I think that's what I said too.
But let's also be real, what he did in the Octagon was a foolish move and that's because that's not his fight. He can talk all he wants but do it on his fight, that ain't his floor yet so a big mistake.
He may have planned it but I don't think what he said is all planned too. Emotions came out and as a sportsman, you don't let your emotion get the better of you.

I am not against you. I am an Adesanya fan. In fact, I was one of the fans that boosted him here in this thread, and the other one and my full support was on him against Pereira. But again, in my own eyes what he did was not right, he crossed the line but that doesn't mean I will not support him. I will still bet for him without any doubts because I believe he is the real champion in that weight class.

I respect your own point of view about what he did on the Octagon after the Dricus win. It's you, not me.

Lets be real, no one will take the shit of watch others insulting your tribe or region, Dricus was indirectly  tell Adesanya that his not an African. that hurt Adesanya, just like everyone would have reacted, seeing your brother telling the world you're not from Africa,  i don't see any childish stuff in Adesanya confronting Dricus in the ring. it happens, he is not the first  confront his next opponent in the ring. before the match, Adesanya has already had a plan to confronted him after the game.

lets just wait and watch their next match, i root for the Nigerian man Adesanya for the champion.

That is true, what Adesanya did was dumb. He should've just waited for his fight against Dricus Du Plessis, win it, and then tell everything in the post-fight interview. Not in the fight of someone else, that's not his spotlight, that's Dricus's time, not his. I don't like what he did too but I do understand where he is coming from.
Dricus had been nonstop telling the media that he is real African and he will take that belt home not in New Zealand or America and that I think hurt the feelings of Adesanya. First, he doesn't look like it but Adesanya still accepted it.
But, I thought Adesanya already learned his lesson from this clip months ago.

https://youtu.be/uoxGbP2gINY
"Don't react, Respond! Respond properly!"
Again, I don't think he needs to do that in others' fights, they will meet, do that after their meeting, or use social media instead because as you said, it does look childish.
I think in this match Adesanya will be the villain. Well, it's good, a twist in the drama.

It is beginning to be a fight for their ethnicity but I could not careless about it because it is becoming very racial and I really hate it when topics is getting out of track when we all need to discuss here are the upcoming fights, so I am not going to give any comments about it,

Well, anyway I really like Israel Adesanya going for the win here but Dricus Du Plessis had shocked me when he defeated Robert Whittaker, but because Alexander Volkonovski is his friend and for sure he was training with him aswell with the ground game for me giving Islam Makhachev a hard time Volkanovski is sure honned Adesanya with the ground game and readying the fight with Pereira I really think that the wrestling game is part of their plan, so I think Adesanya is ready in saying those words to Du Plessis,

I am only excited with the Main Event for sure but will look on with the Co-Main aswell but for the Holm VS Silva fight this is going to be a banger for sure Mayra Bueno Silva is not a walk in the park for Holly Holm, due to her perfect wrestling game this is going to be a crucial fight for her, while for sure Holly Holm is readying for this fight for sure and for me as she have said in her previous fight and interview she surely likes a challenge and surely Holly Holm is an adjusting fighting on who is her opponent.

@owengtam09 Every MMA social media channel is talking about this including those current fighters in the UFC who have youtube channels non-stop with their own opinion on who is in the right here.
With it being slotted for a September fight date that is only about two months away and it can get even worse.

Well, I tend to focus on both but surely the fight is what we are after in the UFC, so yeah Mayra Bueno Silva has a wrestling game plan for sure looking at her wins there are a lot of Submissions for sure she can finish this fight with one of her takedowns and then going into submission but looking at Holly Holms recent fight for me Holly Holm is an adapting fighter and after she lost on Ketlen Vieira she returns in an amazing form and now she got wrestling aswell you can see the dedication to improve in Holm and that absence on the UFC proves that she was still increasing her craft with the wrestling game, so for me, this is going to be an interesting fight for sure,

He did actually act like a spoiled brat there but I think there's a root over all those things that's why he acted like that. It just all piled up and so he released it in the octagon which is a big mistake. He really looked like a villain while saying all those things to Dricus Du Plessis.

I am excited but I am kind of in doubt with the odds that will be given by our favorite sports bookies. I wish 1.50 - 1.70 for Adesanya.

From what I have seen so far, in my opinion, Israel Adesanya is acting like a kid because he sees Dricus Du Plessis as a bigger threat, this is just what I think for me way bigger of a threat than Alex Pereira because Du Plessis has the ground game and submission for me this is an opponent to Izzy that has the ground game so solid than Robert Whittaker and Marvin Vettori, in my opinion, and Du Plessis also has the power in hanging on to Izzy so for me this is an interesting fight to see and going into that fight for sure Dricus Du Plessis will be the underdog here so for me maybe I will go with Dricus Du Plessis for this fight if you look at Du Plessis VS Till fight you can see the full wrestling capabilities of Dricus, comparing it to the recent Wrestler that Israel Adesanya fought,

This card sure is full of lovely ladies but I am not in for that and just focus more on the fights, well and I think this card I really want Holly Holm to make it big here and her Opponent has great submission knowledge so yeah the takedowns and the Submission position Holm should be mindful in that aspect, and Aside from the Main Event I haven't really seen a worthy bet to put up in here, and I am still doing my research,

Adesanya surely has not learned his lesson from that video which you posted above.
@danherbias07 You can see in the screenshot below how childish he can be where you see from another camera angle of him sticking up the bird at one of his coaches or trainers while doing the face off with Dricus.

Meanwhile, Israel and Volk have been training Zuckerberg for his bout with Musk which Dana White even eluded to in his post fight interview from last weekend.

Looking at this card I only see Fighting Kitties and for me, Viktoriya Dudakova is mostly hot for sure adding up Norma Dumont and Ailin Perez to the bunch of fighting kitties for this event, but getting the fighting kitties aside the fights that I may look at on this event are the Terrance McKinney VS Nazim Sadykhov, and the Tucker Lutz VS Melsik Baghdasaryan for me that will be a banger for the upcoming event for the UFC,

Dricus Du Plessis commanded himself as more of the man then Adesanya did during this altercation in the ring.
Which of course was constructed by Dana sort of the same of what happened to Suga Sean several months ago with the 'I stole your jacket' incident. And has already been was forgotten a couple of events later.

I guess most of us didn't have a good betting line on that day. Well, that made me feel a little better because I am not alone. 

Here I am not going to end up betting for the underdog but I will surely bet for the Israel Adesanya. I just wish the lines will be pretty enough for a profit.
Dricus Du Plessis already had something to say against the champion Adesanya.

Early marketing, I like it. This way they can boost the number of pay-per-view sales. Considering it's Adesanya, there's no doubt he can pull a lot of customers but Du Plessis might need to do some things to put it in the number 1 trend.

Meanwhile, Dana White would not care about what happened there especially Adesanya using the N-word in the microphone.
He said, "He is black. I don't give a sh*t."
They surely made it hot so early, I bet many UFC fans now are excited to see this happen as early as possible too but Du Plessis will need his rest first.

UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Bueno Silva

DATE: 07.15.2023
TIME: 07:00 PM ET
Venue: UFC Apex
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

Whittaker lost his opportunity to get a 3rd fight against Izzy. Its never expected that Dricus Du Plessis would win the fight but he did and even took down and pounded Whittaker. Can't say he will not get the next big shot later. But it was said how exposed Whittaker was after Cannonier southpaw stance.

I also thought Yair could make it against Volkanovski. Volkaanovski is just too much for him, you can see how he is overpowered TD is not enough. Overall UFC 290, has lots of good fights with great ends. Congrats to Lawler!

Preliminary bouts results and they were all good and some have said the greatest UFC event of the year:


It was one of the best events ever with so many upsets but it was a tough one to bet on this fight weekend.
But it was quite entertaining for any fan of the UFC and I haven't heard of any complaints of the quality of the fights.
So many first round knock outs and two performances of the night:
Denise Gomes received performance of the night with her 20 second KO of a heavy favorite which I lost the first leg of my parlay on. But it was enjoyable for me the rest of the night with the rest of the main card.
Dricus Du Plessis also received a performance of the night for beating another heavy favorite being Whittaker.
Very choice words in the post-fight interview when Adesanya made several intentions of disrespecting the winner of the match with a face-off in the middle of the octagon.

Fight of the night was certainly Alexandre Pantoja beating Brandon Moreno and it wasn't really known who had won until the judges split decision came in:

Many questioned the scorecards of course after the decision was made:

Think Dan Hooker bout was a really good fight because he had bleach blonde hair before the fight but was bloody red by the end of it so you know it was a battle.
He said his arm was broken at some point and had a photo of him in the hospital with the guy who gave it to him in a tweet showing his xray of the arm as well:

Volk was Volk and didn't want to bet on the main event as it was a lock for the belt to stay with the champ who is going to have shoulder surgery but the rematch with Islam Makhachev from the sounds of it does look to be still going forward as scheduled later this year:
