White: UFC fight at White House 'going to happen'

 

Totally forgot that the Contenders Series is back tonight. Glad to have something to watch during the week again.

 

Best main event of the year. Can't wait for it.

 

Excellent card all around. Cannonier vs. Page is going to be a banger.

 

best main card in a while, lets gooo

got DDP winning and the other 4 blue corner fighters

 

damn Kai getting cut after this?

 

I was supposed to see Friendship on Tuesday, got flaked and rescheduled for today. Flaked again! Still going as its last screening then sprinting to the sports bar to try and catch the main

 

Great card so far. MVP looked like the version of himself that we’ve been wanting to see in the UFC (aside from that slip).

I’m also happy that dude from the Contenders Series delivered. Fought Tuesday, Dana credited him with saving the card, then he gets a great finish four days later on a real card after dealing with some adversity in the first round.

 

good lord

 

Two spinning elbow KOs, both guys got a bonus, and both begged Dana to let their teammates get a shot. This is wild lol.

Pico was looking good but got a little too aggressive. I’ll be excited to see him back.

 

I’m thinking DDP will survive the early onslaught and win a decision. I don’t know if Khamzat can fight all 5 rounds but it’s just a matter of whether or not he needs it.

Also wild to me that he’s just now getting a title shot. I would have thought when he took 1 strike in three fights (in a two month span) that he would have been fighting for a title back in like 2022.

 

Well a decision is out of the question. Ha. DDP hasn’t made Khamzat work literally at all so he’s not needed to slow down in the slightest.

 

This is bad for the UFC’s long term success

 

Khamzat fights too infrequently to be a good champion. His fighting style in this fight doesn’t bode well for being a “good” champion either.

I really don’t know who he fights next. I don’t think Imavov or de Ridder have anything for him

 

Boring AF main fight. Ugh

 

Who would even want to fight him? Good lord.

 

As a fighter, good on him at mastering a skill to neutralize almost any fighter. But as a fan of exciting MMA, that def wasn't it

 

well there go the RDR/Khamzat plans lol

 

this Hokit guy on the CS didn’t look terrible but 229 seems way too light for today’s heavyweights lol

he was a little one dimensional too

okay he’s a bit of a tool too lol

 

good contender series ep this week!

 

Pretty great card for a FN!

 

I love when the UFC is in China. You wake up at 6:30 AM, grab some coffee and watch the co-main event.
