Not my thoughts but someone summed it up pretty well “Adulmanap comes from a part of the world where life is very tough. Poverty and being radicalised are normal things in Dagestan, wars in the 90s with Chechnya tore the country up. Adulmanap is a hero over there for getting kids away from hardship and keeping them away from terrorism by offering them an escape through sports such as wrestling which has produced phenomenal wrestlers like Khabib, it’s a devastating loss not just for the Nurmagomedov family but combat sports and all of Dagestan.”
Very sad to read. Hope this gives Khabib and the family time to process and feel relief at the very least. Seeing family members in those vegetative states is rough.
Someone on reddit mentioned earlier this week that Aung La N Sang trains with Gilbert and he also tested positive so this isn't a major surprise but still crazy
Possible Masvidal or Colby replacement is like, amazing to think about. I hope they offer the right money, DANA.
Honestly hope they figure it out but I really feel they’re gonna reschedule it and make it the co-main to DC/Stipe. Burns is —extremely— cheap compared to either one of those guys :(
Yeah I don’t see UFC offering up enough money for Masvidal to take the fight on just a week’s notice. I’m sure Masvidal is going to rightfully demand a lot for that.
Jeez, just give him a big pay day, maybe he wins and then you get a huge draw for main events in the future. I'm no expert but i'd imagine he isn't clamoring for the huge pay day for every single fight. Idk.
