Even if he cops shit for going up straight after Jones goes up to HW, I think it’s the right move. He’s basically already cleared out MW.
Card was a fun watch. Here’s to hoping Silva knows to walk away instead of accepting whatever offer is sure to come his way. Izzy should’ve fought Jones honestly. Especially for all the shit talk that went on. If he holds onto the title and defends both against Whitaker/Jones, I’ll be happy to put him in goat talks. I think Jan might be an easy fight for him.
This comes about a day after Dana said the fight was done. I’d imagine Dustin wasn’t happy with whatever money was offered to him. And Dustin probably doesn’t have PPV points in his deal so it’s likely not a red panty night for him fighting Conor. So essentially what’s going to happen is: Dana is going to say he didn’t want to fight and we’re gonna end up with fucking Conor vs Chandler or some shit. Stop lowballing your fighters ya fucking goof.
Dana’s comments on the weekend saying Rob doesn’t want to fight Izzy was fucking insane. He’s such a dick.
Dana took a bunch of popular YouTube dudes to meet trump and then proceeded to give the guys 100k in cash But you can’t pay your fighters? Bro LMAOOO Fuck Dana
“He didn’t want that fight for whatever reason, you know. It is what it is. Listen, I’ve been in the fight game a long time”
Rob probably asked for a different date/more time. Dana said take it or leave it, and when these guys don’t give in that’s what he does. Goes in front of the camera and makes the fighters look like they’re ducking the fights they try to negotiate. Puts public pressure on them and attempts to make them look scared so they feel a need to do the fight.
I wouldn't mind if he would literally ever just admit "We couldn't come to an agreement on payment" or "We couldn't make any dates work out for both guys". You keep getting guys jawing at each other and publicly agreeing on fights via Twitter (Jon/Francis, Tony/Dustin, Conor/Dustin, etc.) yet he'll say with a straight face, "We offered him the fight and he didn't want it." Yeah, I'm sure...
Dana is a scumbag. Tons of fighters are scumbags. Huge part of the reason I’ve begun caring less and less about this sport, and almost completely stopped supporting it financially, over the last couple of years.
BANGER ALERT! that FN card is NUTTY Edwards vs Chimaev Wonderboy vs Neal Moraes vs Font Schnell vs Nam Pantoja vs Kape
Honestly can't tell if Diego was just drunk or what, but either way, I'm sad he apparently hasn't even considered retirement... Diego Sanchez offers Dan Hardy ‘warrior’s death’ in Twitter rant, Hardy fires back
