That was 2018.

Have things softened with Jake Paul, COVID bullshit, the NFL heavyweight guy, and other fighters being given chances? Probably.

I think his meeting with Dana this week is specifically to discuss skipping the line and facing Khabib, and Dana's stipulation is you can't vacate if you win and must defend until you lose.

And Dana's second offer is he can face a top 5 and then immediately vacate if he beats Khabib-- no harm done no hard feelings.

Those are likely the two options being presented to GSP right now.

Reminder that the Bisping incident in 2017 never sat well with UFC. GSP burned a lot of good will by vacating.

Does anyone here really want to see GSP at 155?

I don't want to watch a shell of a man. At his age, making 155 is just too much for me to get hyped about.

A 40 year old doing a cut he's never done before in his life? Ugh.

So GSP's 'big announcement' was promoting Budweiser's new non-alcoholic beer?

bunch of info from last couple of days
Michael Chandler / Dan Hooker likely to be the co-main event of UFC 257. Dana - original plan was for Chandler to face Charles Oliveira, but Oliveira had concerns about making the weight on short notice.
Dana doesn't think Nick Diaz will return, He isn't in the testing pool and need to be for 6 months
Dana wants covington vs masvidal in 2021
Israel Adesanya / Jan Blachowicz for light heavyweight title at UFC 259, opening odds Israel -250 / Jan +205

That's unusual, hasn't the person who missed weight historically been heavily favored before this year?

If movie theaters are renting out for private parties, what're the chances that 15 of us could rent it out for a ufc party? Or is that going to violate some PPV rules since bars have to pay based on max capacity?

yes these "sting operations" were done like 2005-2012(when internet streams, etc, weren't big yet) or so, it's still done, just to more egregious places.
