nice first rd

What can they do with the featherweight division besides give Cejudo a shot? Does anybody wanna see Josh Emmett fight for the belt, LOL?

 

[Creeker]

Well if this next one ends by KO/TKO I at least break even for the night.

I win with Izzy sub or JC KO, so let's root for the latter

OMG, @Notorious B.E.N are you watching this Izzy entrance?

Yep. Jessica Rose Clark came out to Shawn Michaels' music in the first fight tonight too.

I hope Josh can get some respect. He’s a hell of a competitor.

Urijah Faber says Josh Emmett was livid after being “ghosted” at UFC 276: “Last night he was like, ‘You know what, F this. I wish they’d just release me. I get no respect'”

Emmett should get treated better, and maybe it was a misunderstanding, but featherweight is in terrible shape if he gets a shot. Urijah says Emmett has the power to KO Volk...he's had 2 KO's since 2018 and only 6 in his career. I don't think Emmett is even good enough to be a gatekeeper for a talented division, let alone a contender. He'd get demolished by Volk.

Statistically they are similar. And there isn’t anyone left at the “challenge” level to face Volk. He’s beaten everyone else above Josh. And a few below.

Yeah, it's a sad state. Would that even be a co-headliner? Bring on Cejudo

You’re exactly right. It’a sad division. Henry vs Josh and winner gets shot at Volk, third co-headliner behind Diaz vs a potato and the main of Covington / Masvidal ii

@Vol_sanity I saw your buddy is fighting Robbie Lawler. Should be an awesome fight. I have loved watching Lawler since his debut but hope your boy gets the win

Man...this was THE fight Bryan has wanted for a while. He finally got it. We know Robbie is past his prime, but he still got to share the octagon with a legend...and that is pretty cool. I have been a Lawler fan since he joined the UFC...so this was a crazy fight for me as a fan and friend of Bryans. Bryan has gotten FOTN 3 out of last 4 fights. Has really kind of made a niche for himself after a couple of injuries and his medical scare.

Said Nurmagimedov faced first real competition, which he handled, but barely.

I thought it could have gone either way honestly.

Absolutely. Especially in round 3.

Early Fight Night today, prelims starting now on ESPN.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Damn, should have been a classic fight. That sucks for Ortega

Diaz also claimed that the UFC was shelving him to fight Conor, which he didn't want to wait around for. And just like that...

That's going to be an ugly finale to Diaz's UFC career.

Yeah. Diaz is gonna get smoked.

 

[n_huffhines]

Don't sleep on Diaz. He's beat a favored grappler like 5x in his career. And even when he loses, he wins (McGregor and Edwards). He might get a little mopped up but I feel like he's probably going to lose but his legend will still grow, kinda like the Edwards and McGregor losses.
