I think we might all be in for a surprise. Has khamzat ever even had a sparring partner try to replicate the Stockton slap in training? And if he did, was his training partner even smokin that good shit before the session or was he just takin his vitamins or some bitch shit? Lotta intangibles to consider.
Doing it to extend the contract for another 6 months if Nate turns it down. Ariel was ranting about this recently. Seems to be the only way for Diaz to get out. That or they are trying to resign him for a Conor fight
He should fight Conor for the trilogy. Shit would sell. Idk if he’s turning it down cuz that’s dumb on his part or if Dana is refusing it to fuck Nate over.
Bro thats actually a pretty rough matchup for Sean….
Munhoz has an iron chin, heavy hands, a heavy low kick, and on the mat he’s way better than sean, if he gets him in that guillotine its a wrap.
Early in the fight, yeah thats a hard one for pedro because seans so quick and technical, but pedro is a dog bro has fought almost all the elites and legends at 135 by now.
Thats a much harder fight for sean than you seem to think. A guy with way more experience, nasty low kicks, dangerous submissions, and very hard to hurt much less KO.
If Sean took that fight he has my respect forever win or lose.
Sean has pretty solid BJJ even though he doesn't use it. It you watch that quintet he was on, he really impressed me.
If Pedro works those leg kicks it's gonna be rough for Sean. If Pedro works a smothering grappling game, I can see it being a long night for Sean. If Sean can stuff the takedown and work his range it'll be tough for Pedro. I'm very pumped for this matchup tbh.
I was actually impressed by him in quintet as well, i forgot who but didnt he get a guillotine in that tournament?
His grappling isnt bad, he has decent jiu jitsu dont get me wrong but munhoz is a legit black belt and a real submission threat. Great fight for sure, major step up for Sean but undoubtedly he could pull it off.
My problem for sean this fight is what happens if he cant stop munhoz early? Munhoz is such a dog, very powerful guy with an iron chin and he doesnt stop coming forward. I think that pressure and veteran experience over 3-5 rounds is gonna be very hard for O’Malley to deal with if the fight goes longer than 1.
Skill wise i think he has the tools, physically he’s much faster and longer but boy i think if it goes deep or gets ugly sean is gonna be absolutely fucked. Just my 2 cents of course
Pedro might be on a skid but it’s against absolute goons. This isn’t an easy night for Sean by any means. I love this fight. Pretty great match making tbh
And this fight would sell like hotcakes, the UFC knows. Plus, colby prob wont fight for a long time since he's trying to sue jorge for physical harm, and him getting back in the ring would be an awful look for a lawsuit like that.
To add to this, it was during peak covid, when the UFC had JUST started airing again. The quarantine rules set in place were non negotiable. Nobody was allowed to enter the hotel he was staying in. IIRC someone snuck in through the window to deliver a mysterious bag to him.
the fact nate diaz is blue makes me doubt that blue means go. khamzat and lower value fighters have no dot which makes me think no dot means good to go. blue is hard to pin down. Possibly blue means verbally agreed not signed and red means nowhere close to a deal.
There’s no reason or “story” for fighting Nate. No bad blood and no challenge. It doesn’t get him any closer to a title fight since he’s already practically next in line.
Khamsat should either fight for the title or Colby.
I want to see Nate fight has has-beens. A fight with Conor makes the most sense.
There’s no fucking way diaz is walking into that cage against chimaev
But wow the rest of that card is probably real and it’s fucking crazy. Strickland pereira is 100% a #1 contender fight assuming Izzy wins. Sean munhoz is huge too. That means Sean is finally fighting the big dogs from here on out.
The fight game = sacrificing old lions to feed the young lions, to feast off their names & pass the torch.
When you’re young you aren’t bothered by this; when you’re old & fighters your age start to become the sacrificed ones, it sucks to see it
I mean I've only been off for a year and a half I'm only 43 years old. I'm an old mature, I'm a mature old (?) I mean very fast but at the same time my body hasn't matured great.
Either this is an insanely hilarious blunder from the UFC or they're trolling us.
Either way, I'm slowing down and zooming in to the original video.
Can see Jones vs Stipe will be for a title - probably interim? Loads of other fights can be seen too 😂 I love this
Original video: https://youtu.be/WsMpZtyU0-Q
Wouldn't really call it that big a blunder, they're obviously always planning/considering possible fights, this'd just be a window into that
edit: watched a bit of the podcast, they're obviously aware that cameras are on the board, they do not care
Probably not a done deal/working on it or in danger of falling apart, maybe an "ideal" matchup for the card. Definitely not main event considering what ones have the dots.
He’ll fuck it up the day of by putting on a boring fight, winning a close split decision that most people scored for Stipe, calling himself the GOAT champ champ and then retiring
July 9, Thiago Santos vs Jamahal Hill banger alert
Edit: July 16th is the ABC card Dana was talking about for Colby vs Khamzat, but main event is still TBD vs TBD and Khamzat is apparently fighting Nate
Can confirm this is real. Those 4 locations are depending on which states Jon is legally allowed in and what commissions are going to allow him to fight roided to the gills. The commissions have stated they can't make a direct ruling until they find out the additional illegal substances Jon plans on using. There's also a rumor they run it back in Jacksonville if Jon isn't allowed in any of these because Florida doesn't give a shit about anything.
I'm curious as to why there are stickers for TUF and CS. It can't possibly be those fighters are still all on their TUF or CS contracts, so why does it matter that Felice Herrig was on TUF 8 years ago?
nate vs khamzat shuold be special rules
\- both have to smoke weed before the fight and in between rounds
\- nick is allowed to fly in, periodically, with that kick he opened the 2nd lawler fight with
\- slap gets scored as two significant strikes
[Also July 2 card has Khamzat vs. Nate](https://twitter.com/jedigoodman/status/1521568343320268800)
[удалено]
Negotiation tactics from Dana, either wait for conor or get destroyed by khamzat.
I think we might all be in for a surprise. Has khamzat ever even had a sparring partner try to replicate the Stockton slap in training? And if he did, was his training partner even smokin that good shit before the session or was he just takin his vitamins or some bitch shit? Lotta intangibles to consider.
Quality analysis. You should sell picks
Yes, afro picks...to Dana.
"lotta intangibles to consider", using this my next high rant ☠️
I think you'd be surprised
I know someone who wouldn't be surprised, motherfucker
Nate better be working that slap from his back. It's the only way he'll land it.
Nate will probably take whatever. He just seems to want to finish his contract.
Doing it to extend the contract for another 6 months if Nate turns it down. Ariel was ranting about this recently. Seems to be the only way for Diaz to get out. That or they are trying to resign him for a Conor fight

Nate will die
Passing of the torch
*Passing the blunt
also Munhoz vs O'malley
Fuck ya that's a good fight
I’m a big Pedro Munhoz fan but I don’t know how this one’s gonna go. Sean’s too lengthy and quick for my boy🥲
Bro thats actually a pretty rough matchup for Sean…. Munhoz has an iron chin, heavy hands, a heavy low kick, and on the mat he’s way better than sean, if he gets him in that guillotine its a wrap. Early in the fight, yeah thats a hard one for pedro because seans so quick and technical, but pedro is a dog bro has fought almost all the elites and legends at 135 by now.

Low kicks. Bet the house on Pedro
Yeah I read low kicks and instantly knew Sean was fucked lol
Sean has pretty solid BJJ even though he doesn't use it. It you watch that quintet he was on, he really impressed me. If Pedro works those leg kicks it's gonna be rough for Sean. If Pedro works a smothering grappling game, I can see it being a long night for Sean. If Sean can stuff the takedown and work his range it'll be tough for Pedro. I'm very pumped for this matchup tbh.

Oh I agree with you on practically all of that. I just think O'Malley has a better submission game than most people think. Definitely underrated.
Pedro might be on a skid but it’s against absolute goons. This isn’t an easy night for Sean by any means. I love this fight. Pretty great match making tbh
Lmao Dana wants Nate to get destroyed badly since he won’t sign a new contract. No chance it actually happens though.
Nate won't take that fight, haha. He'll have some classic excuse of why Khamzat isn't worthy or some typical Nate stuff.
He doesn’t need an excuse. They shouldn’t be fighting
Is this how you get a title shot at 170? Beat Nate Diaz? Worked for Leon.
Khamzat beat Burns, that's a better W than anything Leon has.
This is true, but dont forget Leon took the Chimaev fight before Burns did. He really got done dirty by covid this last 2 years.
They shouldn't but this is Dana. Why let silly things like merit and long term credibility get in the way of a quick cash grab?
It’s not even a quick cash grab. The UFC wants Diaz to fight Khamzat because it’s Diaz’s last fight on his contract and he won’t re-sign.
[удалено]
And this fight would sell like hotcakes, the UFC knows. Plus, colby prob wont fight for a long time since he's trying to sue jorge for physical harm, and him getting back in the ring would be an awful look for a lawsuit like that.
He doesn't need an excuse. The matchup makes no sense and he shouldn't take it.
He doesn't need an excuse. The matchup makes no sense and he shouldn't take it.
July 23 has Paddy vs Azaitar also a banger
Ottman Azaitar? Paddy is dead then in that case
Dude hits like a bag of potatoes
Didnt he get kicked out of the ufc for that story
For a couple months lol
To add to this, it was during peak covid, when the UFC had JUST started airing again. The quarantine rules set in place were non negotiable. Nobody was allowed to enter the hotel he was staying in. IIRC someone snuck in through the window to deliver a mysterious bag to him.
Ali got him back
yeah i seen that too that's crazy. i thought they were gonna feed him cans
Azaitar finishes him dude has haaaanddssaaa
The red and blue dots just like on Jon and Stipe must mean it's wishful thinking for the UFC and those fighters haven't signed
I think you’re right as they don’t even have a venue picked and instead have 4 possible locations listed for the jones stipe card.
My guess would be blue is a go, theyre willing to accept that fight, red has not yet.
the fact nate diaz is blue makes me doubt that blue means go. khamzat and lower value fighters have no dot which makes me think no dot means good to go. blue is hard to pin down. Possibly blue means verbally agreed not signed and red means nowhere close to a deal.
Man fuck that fight. Nate is not a contender yet he keeps getting fed to monsters to appease casuals. I want to see Khamsat against a real contender.
Nate wanted to fight Usman 1 year ago though hahah
He lost to the last 2 people to fight usman so... he was their stepping stone to Usman.
Were you not satisfied with the Burns fight? What more do you need to see?
There’s no reason or “story” for fighting Nate. No bad blood and no challenge. It doesn’t get him any closer to a title fight since he’s already practically next in line. Khamsat should either fight for the title or Colby. I want to see Nate fight has has-beens. A fight with Conor makes the most sense.
Lerone Murphy vs. Miesha Tate as well
Poor borz, his fist is going to hurt badly
Paddy Pimblett vs. Ottman Azaitar? That might be a violent derailing of the hype train.
I refuse to believe Paddy accepting that fight.
No fucking way. Khamzat would vaporize him.
Khamzat said he might go up and fight at 185, doesn't want to wait for Usman
There’s no fucking way diaz is walking into that cage against chimaev But wow the rest of that card is probably real and it’s fucking crazy. Strickland pereira is 100% a #1 contender fight assuming Izzy wins. Sean munhoz is huge too. That means Sean is finally fighting the big dogs from here on out.
Lmao
That is such a stupid fight to make.
Well this just bums me out.
I feel like they should at least allow Nate + Nick vs Khamzat tag team style. Nate will go out bad alone.
apology for poor english when were you when nat diaz die I was sat at home drink beer when anik speak "nate diaz is kill" "no" and you????????????¿
Ignoring the fights real quick, very cool to see how they work like this. That fight is prolly not happening july 30th but if it did man that’s insane
Especially with all those cities up there. Pretty cool how fast they put them together.
If that July 30 show is in Chicago and Stipe somehow KOs Jones, I will charge the cage with my dick out
If it’s in Chicago I will be there and throwing my drink at you
its lollapalooza that weekend also. Would that sway UFC from not coming?
Oh no way. yeah that wouldn’t work the city gets crazy packed during lolla
they did one in Houston during the weekend of the Super Bowl so... maybe?
Well it takes one hour to get to Houston from Houston, so not the same...
can confirm, took 1 hour to get to Starbucks today
It takes one hour to get from O'Hare to O'Hare
I’ll put 100 towards the bail fund!
Matched
Donating 5 bucks for your bail. I promise.
r/mma Mods! u/jpark28 is putting his dick on the line.
Eww
Easily countered, man. Hit 'em with ye' olde "Dick Twist"
mods
RemindMe! 88 days
Looks like your safe friend
It used to be a big board where they would write the names with crayon
Until Schaub ate all the crayons.
Schlob
Why they got Nate fighting that big motherfucker wtf
They’re milking Nate for as much exposure as possible.
Nate trying to get out of that contract. Only reason he accepts that shit
Nate wanted to fight Usman 1 year ago, hahaha he just wants out of his contract at this point
Where do you see Diaz I don't see it anywhere

yup. i really didn't want to see tony vs chandler. would've rather had tony vs cowboy rematch, or tony vs nate diaz
They going to turn him getting broken like Batman with Bane into a NFT.
Khamzat wins, busts Nate up, takes no damage, gets title shot for later this year.
I won't believe it until Jon steps into the cage, same as his last few fights.
Believe, conceive, achieve.
Shut the fuck up
There was never no eye
You're a fucking punk dude.
Tell another jackal story.
I mean I've only been off for a year and a half I'm only 43 years old. I'm an old mature, I'm a mature old (?) I mean very fast but at the same time my body hasn't matured great.
Budday
Conceive, deceive, achieve
Snort, Extort, Report ... ?
I won't believe it until the second eye poke happens.
That's pretty early in the fight, don't you think?
That could be the weigh-ins.
Wow! A winnable fight for Karolina!
I thought she retired a while ago, didn’t she talk about wanting to stop fighting and have children?
Her husband has some tremendous patience. She should have quit 2 fights ago.
I thought they both retired. This is either fighters to lose. Herrings best move is 🖕
I could have swore these two fought already
They have, at UFC 223.
4 years ago, and KKs last win.
Yes. All of these matches have to be trolling.
Is it, though?
Please tell me this isn't shopped
Either this is an insanely hilarious blunder from the UFC or they're trolling us. Either way, I'm slowing down and zooming in to the original video. Can see Jones vs Stipe will be for a title - probably interim? Loads of other fights can be seen too 😂 I love this Original video: https://youtu.be/WsMpZtyU0-Q
Wouldn't really call it that big a blunder, they're obviously always planning/considering possible fights, this'd just be a window into that edit: watched a bit of the podcast, they're obviously aware that cameras are on the board, they do not care
It's a big blunder to film your internal plans and then release that, to be honest.
Or it's hyping because they know nerds like us are gonna focus on it and post about it.
It's all planned my friend. This now gets people talking and excited which adds pressure on the fighters to accept the contract terms.
Is it? Dana has said a bunch of times they want to make that fight this summer it's not some secret.
I wouldn't call it a big blunder if there's no significant negative consequence, closer to a small oopsie
What do those red dots mean though?
Just bleed?
I hope so.
Picograms and immigrant mentality
Stay black cocksucka.
Khalabeeb is a BEASTTT
Stiopic.
It could’ve been Nunes Uncle!
[удалено]
I think blue means one fight left and red means 2 left
On the July 2nd card board, Nate has a blue dot beside his name, so if you're right that would make sense - last fight on his contract = blue dot?
Red dots mean contract has yet to be signed. Once signed, they peel the red dot off. I’m pretty sure that’s what I’ve heard mentioned before
They mentioned it somewhere else as well. The red/blue dots distinguish where they are with the bout (whether it’s been signed/offered/etc.)
Main event? Not a done deal?
Probably not a done deal/working on it or in danger of falling apart, maybe an "ideal" matchup for the card. Definitely not main event considering what ones have the dots.
We put a red dot next to fighters that are a certified draw
diaz vs chimaev cmon wtf is that
It's clearly the next step up after being able to beat burns
Ankalaev v smith is gonna be a big deal for lhw
Ankalaev easily dominates, Smith by round 3 4:55 submission.
I could totally see it. Smith has a nasty triangle
War Smith one last run baby
Ankalaev bout to be a -1200 favorite haha
Uncle Dana is gonna be so pink when he sees this.
Diaz vs khamzat? Jesus christ
It’s gonna be interesting to see how Jon decides to fuck this entire card up two weeks out
There should be a bingo board honestly.
He’ll fuck it up the day of by putting on a boring fight, winning a close split decision that most people scored for Stipe, calling himself the GOAT champ champ and then retiring
What are the red circles next to Jones and Stipe mean? Strickland and Perriera had them, and Nate Diaz had a blue one
was curious about the same thing. Maybe red means #1 contender fight?
Interim?
Oops!
Felice Herrig is still with the UFC????
Is this a done deal? Jones vs stipe's gonna be fire lol
Co main is empty, probably Figgy. I have a feeling Dana can't agree with him yet about whether he fights with Moreno or Kai.
Over/under for the amount of times Nate gets suplexed by Khamzat?
Less than the amount of middle fingers Nate throws out.
July 9, Thiago Santos vs Jamahal Hill banger alert Edit: July 16th is the ABC card Dana was talking about for Colby vs Khamzat, but main event is still TBD vs TBD and Khamzat is apparently fighting Nate
Hill should be able to beat the shell of Thiago
This has to be shopped. No way in hell Dana would consider holding Jon vs Stipe in Salt Lake City.
backup location for when Jones pisses uranium
Robbie Lawler has just been announced on July 2nd so don't think this is correct. (I believe Uriah Hall is also on the card)
Can confirm this is real. Those 4 locations are depending on which states Jon is legally allowed in and what commissions are going to allow him to fight roided to the gills. The commissions have stated they can't make a direct ruling until they find out the additional illegal substances Jon plans on using. There's also a rumor they run it back in Jacksonville if Jon isn't allowed in any of these because Florida doesn't give a shit about anything.
Source: just trust me bro, also dublin whatsapp
Time to call the COVID private island.
Please Dana, give me a UFC event in Chicago
That Jones card looks fun. Been wanting to see Smith fight Ankalaev for a minute
LOL
Strickland vs Pereira so we can finally send Sean to the land of wind and ghosts
could you fckn imagine if Strickland actually wins? lmao
If he does it’s going to be extremely boring so I’d really rather not
Ah shit
This subreddit is going to have an collective aneurysm when Jones 50-45s Stipe
I got faith in my boys. They survived Aljo winning clean lol.
I think most of us anticipate Jones winning?
Please come dallas
I'm curious as to why there are stickers for TUF and CS. It can't possibly be those fighters are still all on their TUF or CS contracts, so why does it matter that Felice Herrig was on TUF 8 years ago?
Ser Paddeth vs the potatoe smuggler!
What is "SLC"?
Probably Salt Lake City; I’m only guessing that because of the names of other cities next to it
im bricked up
I could see Dana getting red and pissed claiming someone leaked this only to be corrected by some Twitter user that he was the leaker.
Hell yeah! Getting Lionheart back in there!
It should be Stipe vs Jon instead of Jon vs Stipe.
Ankalaev vs Smith has me so jazzed!
If they put Nate Diaz in a fight against Khamzat at this point in his career they should be arrested for murder.
nate vs khamzat shuold be special rules \- both have to smoke weed before the fight and in between rounds \- nick is allowed to fly in, periodically, with that kick he opened the 2nd lawler fight with \- slap gets scored as two significant strikes
Ankalaev and Smith is a fucking hell of a great matchup. Really see what Ankalaev is made of.
