almost spiked him twice lmao

Shit card was shit.

304 was lameeeee

Aspinall didn't really prove anything besides HW is thin. Terrible flash win.

Hoping for more out of Gane - Volkov.

jones opened as a dog +140 vs gane -166, but at the end was -186 v +123
in his ufc history, was only a dog in his 1st two fights, Bonnar (+135 v -155) and Gusmao (+170 v -200)
the only other futures i see
jones vs izzy -105 v -115, and is -200 v +170 over stipe

UFC at the Sphere on September 14 is looking pretty meh. I thought Dana said he was going to put on the best card in the history of the UFC there?

Even the O'Malley fight is going to be shitty, because he is fighting A_Midget_Russian_Wrestle_Raper_008. It will be 25 minutes of lay and pray to steal a belt.

What the hell Dana? Are you going to pull a magic Conor out of your hat?

Ariel reported expenses are already insane for the Sphere show, Conor costs a lot of money to put on a card-- so not likely.

I don't have anything offhand myself either. I was just on the podcast listening in the background and I heard the Sphere production value is next-level and they're doing some type of crazy production for it that's never been done before. No real details were given, so I can't speculate what crazy production would mean. Costs are reportedly the highest of all UFC events to date though. Maybe some of the custom screen programming and visual effects that big stages use for things like League of Legends world cup and other stuff like that. Only thing I can think of. Back in the 1990's it would just be code for the show will have pyrotechnics. Today in 2024, who the fuck knows.

that will make dana cry

Dana White says they’re planning on having Jon Jones fight in November.

He also says he still doesn’t know when Conor McGregor is coming back:

“When Conor is ready to go he’ll let me know so I’m not even thinking about it or talking about Conor right now.”

if jones fights 1st sat in nov, would be almost 1 year 8 month out. think dana said tom will be the back up for jones/stipe

really don't want to see tony fight again. 0-7 going into tonight. was watching mma on point and guy brought up tony will probably go to bkfc if he gets cut.

trump said khabib was his fav fighter. conor took issue with it and posted few dozen tweets about it. chandler got into the mix and apparently said the fight wasn't going to happen. conor then called out max.
