I'm hearing the Khamzat v Whittaker fight is off.

I'm hearing the Khamzat v Whittaker fight is off.

Is it correct Khamzat has an injury (inflammation)?

My boy s

Is it correct Khamzat has an injury (inflammation)?

My boy said some infection and he just recently started training again.

They’re pressuring him to fight since he’s the face over there and they basically made the card for him.

And I heard Pereira vs Jiri 2 is likely to replace Conor vs Chandler if it doesn’t happen but I don’t know what the hang up is over that fight.

 

[aceboon]

they need to go ahead and rip that band-aid off and turn that shyt into a "Fight Night" card

 

[J Money]

Hill v Ulberg might be off apparently too

June is cursed

 

[THEREALBRAND]

I can’t help but feel like this is karma for all of Dana’s Trump glazing

That nikka alex is bout to fight with injured toes and a hilariously short camp

Chandler's gotta be absolutely sick right now. Spent two years on ice waiting for Conor to make it to the cage. Now he's 38 and wasted two years of his prime with nothing to show for it.

You know Dana will take care of him.

It’s his fault. I like Chandler, but he should have taken a fight in last two years. Just one. Fight Dariush or something.

Dude straight up SIMPED for mcgregor. Nothing to show for it. I follow him on Instagram and the way Chandler moves was way too desperate

Also does anybody else think McGregors “injury” could be substance abuse?

I think there's a few factors at play. Conor probably wants out of his ufc contract. There's a lot of freak show fights out there that could net him a ton of profit. The trilogy with Nate outside of the ufc. Box Manny Pacquaio. Somethings going on with all that. UFC does not want to let Conor go. UFC got rid of USADA for Conor so curious to see how it all plays out.

 

[jackswstd]

UFC needs to move on from Conor. The only people who still believe he’ll be what he was are his delusional stans and casuals.

Alex is gonna finish Jiri easily, he got his leg tore up in his last fight and it’s gonna be a easy target for Alex.
