From what people on twitter are saying is it might be Nate vs Tony now.

That would be an absolute banger of a fight, but not fair on the Leech.

Yeh would be sly on the Leech, not getting to wear his new suit to the press conference then not even fighting

Khamzat has lost so much respect in the build up to this fight. Does he not care or is he actually a bit thick

leinad · « **Reply #30363 on:** September 9, 2022, 06:52:51 pm »

There has been like 5 different people miss weight now, the card is cursed

What is happening, is the fight going ahead then?

Hype has gone to his head. He was a dickhead before he rose up aswell but he's just starting fights with everyone now and generally being very unprofessional.

Khamzat Nate will be off but we’ll probably get Nate vs Tony

leinad · « **Reply #30366 on:** September 9, 2022, 08:22:53 pm »

Tony vs. Nate
Leech vs. D-Rod
Khamzat vs. Holland

Apparently these are the fights

You don't just miss weight by that much. He and his team will be fully aware he was way over. He probably didn't fancy the Diaz fight, Dana won't be arsed either. It's Diaz last fight

He definitely would have. He would have mauled Diaz, just blown an easy paycheck at this point of his career. After this he'll be up against a much higher calibre of fights such as Edwards, Usman and Covington. And if he goes up to midddleweight it's Adesanya and Whittaker waiting for him.

Whittaker would dismantle him, Adesanya is too safety first and Chimaev would exploit that.

Dana just confirmed the fights, probably better matchups now anyway.

Yeh I've wanted that Diaz vs Tony fight for ages so made up we got it, and both are 5 rds as well

The ground game is going to be sick if it hits the mat

Flaccido Dongingo · « **Reply #30374 on:** September 10, 2022, 01:02:04 am »

Chimaev is an idiot, he was getting booed at the ceremonial weigh in, and his comments afterwards didn't do him any favours either, really trying to build up the "villain" profile.

What did he say? Like I said he's just got a very arrogant persona, and comes across as a man-child. Complete opposite to Khabib who he gets compared to a lot.

First time we've actually seen a card fall through but then get improved. Tony and Nate are both out of their prime but will still be a banger. Honourable mention to Ji Lingliang who is fighting someone 10lbs heavier than him on a moments notice.

Dana must be ecstatic. Pretending to be pissed off but with everything that happened yesterday, he must be seeing dollar signs.

He was just being a bellend, telling the crowd to shut up etc.

As for the comparison with Khabib, it's a lazy comparison due to their origin and fighting style, Chimaev is trying his best to be the villain of the piece by just being as much of a wanker as possible, yet Khabib was always respectful towards his opponents, the only time Khabib was unprofessional was against McGregor, who really seemed to get under his skin, and the scenes after their fight were disgraceful for all involved.

This all worked out a little too perfectly, the MMA gods are smiling.

Nate against tony is a fun matchup. Both will trade shots and have the tank to go the full distance. Fighters have missed weight before but most of them apologised to their opponents and others involved. Chimaev is getting heat from every fighter and will get booed out of the octagon regardless of the result.

What a turnaround by Barnett, looked dead and buried in the first round but shredded Collier on the ground in the second.

Crazy to think Chimaev was a fan favourite only a week ago and now has boos raining down from the rafters

stevieG786 · « **Reply #30384 on:** September 11, 2022, 04:59:02 am »

Unbelievable performance from Khamzat

Rosario · « **Reply #30385 on:** September 11, 2022, 05:07:49 am »

Even though I can't really stand him and think he's a bit of a knob Chimaev is crazy talented. Besides the Gilbert Burns fight which was a slugfest dude hasn't taken any damage in his other 5 UFC fights which is just insane!

stevieG786 · « **Reply #30386 on:** September 11, 2022, 05:37:27 am »

Nate subs Tony the second it hit the mat lol wtf

Weird fight

stevieG786 · « **Reply #30387 on:** September 11, 2022, 05:38:11 am »

Tony should retire, he’s beyond done

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #30388 on:** September 11, 2022, 06:54:49 am »

Safe to say after watching that Nate was somewhat saved by Khamzat being reckless with the weight. Khamzat would have swarmed him and been too much for Nate. The main event was like watching a legends footy match, hope they both retire and enjoy the fruits of their labour.

I've been a good boy · « **Reply #30389 on:** September 11, 2022, 06:59:57 am »

Chimaev is too good, he wil give anyone he faces some major problems.

Sad to see Tony's decline, 5 losses in a row. The guy is completely washed and seemed like he was just there tonight to have fun and pick up a paycheck.

Asam · « **Reply #30390 on:** September 11, 2022, 01:30:36 pm »

Khamzat planned that, no consequences for missing the weight and Holland is a much better opponent than the boring and washed up Diaz

The audience there last night didn't think Diaz was "boring and washed up".

leinad · « **Reply #30392 on:** September 11, 2022, 02:01:48 pm »

Tony had waaaay to much respect for Nate, not pressuring him at all every time he was fucking about on the cage and not going to the legs more in the 3rd & 4th. Always fun to see two OGs go at it though!

Khamzat just way to good on the ground for Holland, was always gonna end that way. If he can actually still make the weight he'll 100% be WW champ soon.

I had Leech winning that fight. Aldana vs Chiasson was a fun fight and brutal finish, I wouldn't like an up kick to the liver!

The crowd were terrible as they usually are in America but I think the recent London and Paris cards really make it obvious just how shit the American fans are.

because he was fighting an even more washed up Ferguson, between the two of them they’ve lost 8/10 fights

You do realise that they've fought nothing but top tier opponents in the last few years?

Yeah he's a twat, but a phenomenal talent, you honestly can't see anyone at Welterweight or Middleweight beating him, Robert Whittaker maybe, but he'd ragdoll Adesanya too.

Agreed. Like you say Whittaker will probably be his toughest fight at MW and I think Burns was the toughest at WW. Him and Rakhmonov will be a great fight in the future.
