Hardy is being too dramatic here. Nate could just.... not take the fight. I wouldn't put it past Dana and the UFC to try and make an example out of Nate, because this fight makes zero sense from a competitive perspective. Khamzat is looking for a titleshot and gets absolutely nothing from fighting Nate. Nate is not in the line for a titleshot. But at the end of the day, Nate agreed to the fight.

You can stop wondering. This absolutely IS a case of them trying to make an example out of him.

lol @ "assassination attempt"

Nate probably gets beaten up in this fight, but Hardy making it sound like Nate will be Hospitalized with career-altering damage is a little crazy...Khamzat went to the mat once with Burns and stopped because he got nervous. I'm not saying he can't take down and overpower Nate, but I just doubt this will be a homicide...prolly just a one-sided decision.

Khazmat gets the biggest check of his career, the opportunity to headline a PPV and the chance to wash a legend/ known trash talker in front of the world

I get this fight doesn’t do anything to advance him in the rankings but to say he gets “absolutely nothing” is absurd, at the very least it’s life changing money for him

I really wish we could get MVP vs Izzy

All the scar tissue means Nate is gone be wearing the crimson mask half way thru round 1
Khazmat won't fear Nate's power or grappling skills the way he did Gilbert. I'm not gone say he walks right thru him because anything can happen but he's gone possibly get away with murder on ppv. I think ESPECIALLY Nate does that disrespectful slap, it changes the fight and he gets that Leo v the bear treatment

Why? Just watch Silva v Izzy. Besides they're in different weight classes.

Silva was on his way out when it happened. I think MVP can put on some weight and make it a good fight. But that's my opinion

Joe Rogan said there’s a real good argument moreno won the last fight vs fig? What could that argument be? I bet moreno and was hoping for a robbery, it didn’t even happen on one scorecard. He was knocked down 3 times in an otherwise uneventful fight, that’s enough to lose the fight.

Crazy how Pereira didn't face a major grappling situation on his way to this title fight.
