*Fight card, bout order and number of fights remain subject to change.*

The UFC 279 pre-fight press conference was cancelled just moments after it started as Dana White pulled the plug on the event due to an altercation between fighters backstage.

“S*** show – absolute s*** show back there,” White said as soon as he hit the stage. “Ask them questions. There’s lots of crazy s*** going on back there.”

This card is already shaping up to be a classic for all the wrong reasons

I legit feel khazmat will try his best to put Nate out his misery and Nate is too tough for his own good. No matter what happens, it will change both fighters
Khazmat by 2nd round ko

 

[EarlyEarly]

I’m actually in Vegas and have a dude on the inside so I’ll try to get details about what’s going on this event. Still trying to weasel a free ticket

Anyone else feel like the pressure is getting to Khamzat? He’s been acting up all week. Maybe he’s just trying to sell the fight


Sidenote: gets a little annoying when they clump him in with Khabib. They fight way different and he didn’t train with them. He’s not even a devout Muslim like Khabib is. He’s from Chechnya, seeked asylum, went to Sweden. Once he blew up the Chechen dictator started supporting him.

It's hard to stay in character when it's not natural
But for Kevin Holland to get involved is something else. Nate bringing 60 people is unnecessary

Khamzat was saying in interviews he was gonna be rolling with a gang of people. He had like 8 guys ready to jump Costa and Shields

Another report said Holland was sick of his shyt and was over hyped.
Imo he retires Nate and he names his shot
He's no khabib though

the backstage fukkery

Dana saw the hype the AEW backstage fukkery got and had to sell the ppv

Apparently it was him alone in the back.

 

[Day_Walker]

This sounds like wwe bullshyt orchestrated by that cracker Dana white himself.

I get the same impression

They’re saying that Khamzat saw Holland and push kicked him in the chest

Apparently it was him alone in the back.

His team had already made there way into the front when shyt popped off, Darren Till said him and few team members jump the side barrier to get backstage
