Just saw this announcement, what a bizarre title fight. I guess Moreno cant get another shot but surely there is someone.

Didnt even know he was aussie until last fight

Its main event too. They've given up on that ppv

Not sure if this matters but is it because it's in Brazil so s**t time zone for American PPV buys?

They stacked the cards prior, not many options tbf. Only an hour different between NY and Rio, assume LA a couple hours back.

 

[Engimal v3]

Truly one of the most unknown title challengers ever.

Actually just realised it's the same vertical plane lol and I live in Canada

Might not be everyone's cup of tea but this bloke gives me a laugh

 

[RobbyRoy]

Insane sequence of events, but hey, an Aussie is reaping the benefits so there won't be many complaints in here!

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Sounds like the UFC want an Aussie champ. This could work out nicely. He won with a very nice KO recently.

lol, just read the other post and was trying to picture in my mind the Timezone lines on a map to workout how this was an issue.

Malkhoun v DDP up next

That whole division is a mess, the champ has 5 wins over moreno and royval, kape can't make weight, albazi got one of the worst decisions I can remember in his last fight and just pulled out and Mokaevs 6 fight streak is worse than Ercegs 3

Goddamit

Tai gifted his neck.

Also, Aldo on 301. Rio

he needs to go back to kick boxing, isn't well rounded enough for MMA.

Nah keep him in MMA but just let him put bangers on against strikers
Keep him out of the rankings and let him put the lights out on guys like Parker Porter at PPV prelims

 

[norway blue]

Post fight Marcin said he hopes the ufc don’t cut tai. Where’s that come from ?

Yeah think it's up to the UFC to give him the right fights now. I know it almost certainly went bad but he was that close to finishing Cyril Gane. His confidence must be in the bin.
Looked good against tybura aswell until he didn't

 

[Tandy]

Thurman has pulled out of the fight
Tszyu vs Fundora now. Tim has no luck. What a shame.
