Fight Announcement Thread

    Where did you see this? Everything I see says UFC 247 in February in Houston while UFC 246 in Vegas on Jan 18.

    Edit: NM! I see it on the official web site now. I wonder if it is a negotiating tactic by the UFC with the Conor-Cerrone fight.

    UFC has taken down the Jan 18 card altogether, even though there's been a number of fights announced. Odd.

    Yeah now shows ufc 246 for Feb 9th, I don't know what they are doing. Maybe Conor fight fell out and decided to push it back to find another suitable main event or something.

    Either way that is a very long time without a UFC event.

    Oleinik's contract for the fight that he posted online labeled it as "UFC Fight Night" on Feb. 8

    Yeh, I could see them just changing it to a Fight Night instead, f--- Connor anywayz.
  6. THE FIRST Lightweight

    Why on April ?.....

  7. John8204 Well Liked Featherweight

    Makes sense...NFL Playoffs are 1/4-1/19, Superbowl 2/2
    Curious to see what they do with March Madness 3/15-4/6

    So the 25th is basically going to be PPV, that's NFL rest week

    April 18th is the big Khabib fight.

    Really curious about that March PPV because you've got Cejudo, Stipe, Israel, Weili. Or does Conor fight on that card and we get no title fights

    Khabib vs Tony, April 18

    (in case it's not clear from First's/John's posts)
  9. Kharg31 Well Liked Bantamweight

    Anthony Pettis vs Diego Ferriera for Jan.18

    That could be your headliner for a low key fight night right there

    Does Conor have an eye for Jorge?
  18. MMAFTM13 Well Liked OG P4P Great

    Im expecting Conor to come up with some visa issues after his assault charge on the older fella. Hope not. Till v Whittaker in the co main will be cool.

    Askar Askarov vs Tim Elliott UFC 246
  20. Mike Porch MMA Well Liked Welterweight

    Yea, I mean this fight has technically been in the works since May, when Cowboy was on a 3 fight winning streak. Last two Ws at 155. It was said negotiations fell apart because the UFC refused to make it a main event bout. Here we are 6 months later and its a main event...

    Even more surprising to me is the bout being at welterweight... this was originally discussed for 155. So much like the main event slot, what changed?
    Who knows? Maybe Cowboy just wanted it at at 70? But I dont see him as the kinda guy to call shots. I think similarly toward Conor, but he himself has openly said he doesnt even want Nate at 170 again. McGregor is not a welterweight. Even if he's changed up his physique this time around, Conor is one of those guys who just isnt blessed with "the gift of cardio." I dont see packing on extra mass being a positive for him. We've seen in both Diaz fights. Conor McGregor seems to only be able to fight like "Conor McGregor" for about 8 - 9 minutes at 170 pounds.

    I dont know if Conor decided on 170. But if he did? Who really knows? Perhaps he's finally realized/accepted Khabib & his team will never let a rematch happen, out of spite, unless he is on top of the world again and is aiming for welterweight gold instead? Perhaps Jorge does interest him? Maybe he's changed his tune on the weight-class for the Diaz trilogy? He could be using this as a "two birds one stone" play. Fight Cowboy, for the sake of wanting to fight the legend, and having a solid tune-up for the 170 weight class. Either way, this being at welterweight still has my brain spinning
