Sportsbet related question lol?

Nah...as they don’t allow multi’s but I like ya thinking. Just a general question for y’all

 

[Dan]

Am I blind? Whats new? Looks the same to me...

It seems they've brought back the original version.

The new one was horrid navigationally wise.

I’ll give it a crack and I’ll include who I think is the biggest danger

Bantamweight: Tj ( Assunção)

Featherweight: Max ( Volkanovski)

Lightweight: Khabib (Mcgregor)

Welterweight: One from left field Ben Askren (Covington)

Middleweight: Whittaker (Adesanya)
I’m hoping Till goes up to middleweight and I’m hoping we see a couple of fights out of Paulo Costa this year would not surprise me if any of these four held the belt.

Light heavyweight: Jon Jones

Heavyweight: Miocic (Velasquez)

Strawweight: Tatiana Suarez (Rose)

Bantamweight: Nunes (Aspen Ladd)

Doubt Till will ever fight for a belt again tbh

 

[Joker91]

Reason?

 

[JG22]

Reason?

Not sure he’s good enough

It’s very hard too

Weight cut struggle and the challenges at 185 too

Who’s everybody’s pick for end of 2019 year UFC champ in each division?

Yeah we can do that

The Cejudo/Dillashaw fight is interesting.

If Cejudo wins comfortably what’s next?

He has stated he wants to go up. Does he fight dillashaw straight away again for the bantamweight title?

Not sure the ufc will want to make that match up straight away if the first fight is very one sided.

 

[Dan]

Just pay him whatever he wants.

whats the go with that fight its at 125 which is an abandoned division ? or are they going to go ahead with it. seems strange that its for the title

The Ufc is hoping tj wins. They get another “champ champ” ... more publicity.
Probably accelerate the death of the division.

Even if Cejudo wins they’ll most likely try and book a rematch for the bantamweight belt and give Cejudo the chance to be champ champ whilst slowly killing off the 125 division.

Lol at nate pushing for a shot

Jumped on FightPass this morn. $10 gets...




Those cards along with all the extras is exceptional value.
Also the Melbourne prelims, but I'll probs hit a venue for that event.

 

[JG22]

Been waiting a long time for this one

 

[footyfan1978]

Gee, caught a few Khabib youtubes in last 24 hours. He in Melbourne this week.
Lucky the guy can fight but man, got zero personality. Would put me to sleep in two minutes listening to him talk. Think I would rather he put me to sleep with one of his choke holds.

“Science-wise, it does make some sense,” Novitzky said.

FMD.....

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Nothing in it. Calm yaselves down.. Lol

 

[Guy Threepwood]

FMD.....

It makes perfect sense... just ask this scientician:

 

[MMAPride Scott]

pretty much sums up what we already know?

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Sums up duck all really. No one here knows how it all works..

 

[Dan]

There’s some good exclusive Khabib content on submission radio when he was in Melbourne.

Although this bit probably not the smartest thing to be saying prior to the Nevada commission...
