The UFC pretty much has to care since USADA has basically all the sanctioning power, no?

Eat This Glob posted:could the ufc build an octagon so large that all 500 fighters could hide under it for the next two months? Lol. They could make one big enough for the 20 or so fighters they sort of care about I guess.

the conspiracy theory that under all walmarts are secret connecting tunnels for FEMA camps, but all UFC octagons are connected to allow fighters to crawl under any at any given time to escape USADA

Volk is coming off surgery and his turn around is not within the expected recovery time. Add to it the short as gently caress notice he probably hadn't been in camp until he got the call. I do not like his chances in this.

He gets paid a bunch of money, he gets a crack at an Islam who hasn't prepared for him this time around too, and he's Alexander Volkanovski, so he very much thinks he can win. Plus he's wanted the Islam rematch and he wasn't sure he'd get it otherwise, which is apparently a well-founded fear, as Islam's already calling out the winner of Leon/Colby for his next fight.

Marching Powder posted:i seriously think if volk volunteered for this fight then he is healthy and fight fit and he absolutely has a plan to gently caress islam up. i refuse to believe he'd just volunteer to embarrass himself for absolutely no reason. if that's exactly what he did tho, because this is mma, lol. Volk is so good that if he wasn't injured, he could take a fight on a literal minutes notice and not come out of it embarrassed tbh

Lid posted:think Dana offered a dumptruck because its a Middle East card and he does not want them to pull their money out of this sportswashing venture Yeah I have assumed for a while now that Dana goes way over the top to fix late changes for PPV headliners. It’s the one time where the fighter has all the leverage, and he seems to be able to motivate a lot of big fighters to take fights on short notice.

https://twitter.com/BloodyElbow/status/1715436435707224133 just the UFC trying to pressure out two separate world title fights as last-minute replacements and also an instant championship match for khamzat chimaev, no big deal

I hate the “he’s got that dog in him” philosophy, but even Strickland’s got his limits it seems.

Marching Powder posted:mma rules One of my favorite things about MMA is how often you get to watch top level athletes intentionally do the stupidest things possible because they "have that dog in them" or feel the need to prove they can win the opponents game or whatever dumb insecurity wormed into their head. No other sport like it

I absolutely agree, and I also hope someone in his camp has his ear enough to tell him not to fight Ilia Topuria in January so he can have actual time to really recover and prepare after getting his poo poo wrecked.

Dana: yeah, but we can either have you fight Ilia in two weeks or 10 months. You really want to sit around at home that long with YOUR THOUGHTS creeping in, bud?
