just saw this

Cheapest ticket $100

It's cheaper to watch him fight.

Really looking forward to the Holloway vs Ortega fight this weekend, should be a great fight if Holloway can even make it into the cage. Surely they have to do something about his medical condition after this one, he sounds damaged.

Also hoping Val steamrolls JJ!

Max seems to have gotten through the weight cut reasonably unscathed. Brutal cut though..he's so thin at weigh-ins.

Feel like buffers kinda under appreciated

He’s so good

233 cancelled

Rescheduled*

 

[Ry009]

UFC® today announced that the UFC 233 Pay-Per-View event scheduled for January 26 is postponed.

All bouts previously slated for UFC 233 are being rescheduled for upcoming cards. The February 10th Pay-Per-View event at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Australia will remain titled UFC 234: WHITTAKER VS GASTELUM.

UFC’s 2019 event calendar will still feature 12 Pay-Per-View events. Additional details about the postponed Pay-Per-View will be announced at a later date.

Reading between the lines doesn't look like it's going to be rescheduled before 234.

Assuming 233 will be 'skipped' as this is the 4th time this has happened for the UFC, last PPV being 176.

Im fine with that. Better than cobbling together some POS card with a fake interim belt.

Sounds like Usman has jumped the queue. Not really a fan of Colby but he deserves tje shot IMO. Could be contract negotiations behind it also..

 

[Rendaw]

Looks like they couldnt get a main event. I reckon Colby is being difficult so they are bypassing him.

 

[MMAPride Scott]

Just strange

 

[Dan]

Can only help the Melbourne card.

Fire

 

[Quivorir]

Even with his lack of fighting surely Cain romps through someone like Ngannou...

 

[Dan]

Fire

Terrible fight for Ngannou.....he’ll get taken down just like the Miocic fight.

Probably, if he doesn’t tho.

He’s in every fight, and has to be working on his defensive wrestling.

He just fought a wrestler and won inside a minute.

 

[Joker91]

Cain gonna ground and pound the big unit

I think Colby has recovered from his nose surgery. Pretty sure it's Woodley that needed a some more time to mend from a thumb injury/surgery.
And sounds like they would both prefer a solid 8 weeks camp before fighting. Hopefully Woodley cleared by doc to crack in very soon.

OOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! OOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't stand that crap noise they make at UFC Fights. What's worse is us Aussies copied the yanks at the card in Adelaide. Aussies trying to be Yanks is pretty meek.

 

[phantom13]

Are you talking about the Olè chant?

 

[Adzam]

The ric flair woo chant can get a bit annoying too

 

[JG22]

Im a fan of the Ole chant

You don't get it much though, maybe a McGregor fight or Till in England fight, might get it for Bobby Knuckles at 234.
