Really feel like Khabib and the UFC hype machine has brainwashed the masses. Seriously don’t think Islam is ready for what he’s gonna face next weekend.

This dude jumped the line so fast. Crazy cause It’s gonna be very similar to O Malley fighting Yan. Sean is ranked 14 fighting number 1. That’s insane.

Really look at Islams career. Who has he beat? What has he done?


Tbh if you look at Khabib, Charles went through those opponents way better. Charles matched them on the feet as well.

I can’t buy into that Islam hype


Look at the people Khabib beat at the top

Gaethje, Poirer, Conor. That’s it. Won the belt off Iaquinta.

Gaethje Poirer and Chandler are all playing round robin rank sitting. Crazy people still think Khabib is the goat
Khabib would’ve beaten Ferguson and Chandler. I agree Islam jumped the the line but Dariush got hurt so that fight never happened. Right now I think Charles is just on another level. Perhaps if Charles beats Islam handily it will entice Khabib to come back. That’s probably what Dana is hoping for.

No way Charles beats Islam. It will end up being a ground fight, and Islam is better at controlling position than Charles. That plus heavy top pressure + GnP. I got Islam by decision.

O'Malley's next fight should be Chito. If they give him to Aljo this early, don't see an outcome other than ragdoll and backpack.

Was thinking about going to Wonderboy vs. Holland, but even the worst seats in the house are nearing $200 and it’s not that crazy of a card :aicmon:

Haven’t been to a UFC card since 2018, but tix climbed in price like crazy compared to then.

I understand the factors but :noah:

Ya I went to the altantic city card in 2018 where franke edgar faught cub swanson and it was fun as hell, got good tix for like 70 bucks or something.

Prices are out of control now, the MSG card is like $600 to walk in the door, wouldn't pay that much for good seats let alone nose bleeds

next time UFC comes to philly tho i will probably cop tix since i live here. unless they are going for a premium and flirting with MSG level asking price
