I’d rather listen to Anik go solo. Where the hell is Cruz or Bisping? Sure hope I don’t gotta listen to him all month lol
Combate reported it first fwiw. They said if Thompson won’t take the fight then the UFC will turn to Leon Edwards. Someone going from unranked to fighting the #3 ranked guy in a division is unheard of.
Original report was for December 19th. So I guess Ariel got it mixed up. UFC planeja Chimaev na luta principal do dia 19 de dezembro e tenta Thompson como rival
Leon probably won’t take that fight (and shouldn’t unless it’s written in his contract that a win gets him a title shot) but maybe he should. Khamzat has more hype in three fights against unknown fighters than Leon has in numerous UFC appearances. I think Leon would humble his ass tbh lmao. This also sets a horrible precedent for fighters. You would have a guy that is willing to make PEANUTS and get bent over by Dana to tackle the very top of a division. Unless his deal gets reworked. This is how guys like Poirier get fucked.
I’m just catching up on the prelims and currently watching Knight vs Camur. I definitely just heard Felder refer to Knight’s ground and pound as “Donkey Kong” punches. What the hell is wrong with you?
