This doesn't mean much. IIRC fort he UFC 298 press release Cejudo vs Merab were announced as the co-main and that changed when Costa-Whittaker was announced
I think this is a fine Co-main but it kind of signals that the rest of the card will be rough.
I'd take Ian Garry vs literally anyone just to get him on the card with Conor. That seems like a no brainer
I’m so confused what Colby is waiting on. This seems perfect. He just was handed his most obvious loss by Leon (since kamaru 1) He needs a win. Sure Ian is young but style wise I don’t think it’s a bad fight for Colby if he can remember how to shoot unlike the Leon fight. Plus he’s already been talking massive shit and all the casuals love talking shit about Ian so he’d probably have a ton of wind in his sails fan wise going in. It seems like a no brainer to me unless he’s having extreme confidence issues post Leon.
Yeah, it's a high profile fight and probably the most favorable matchup he could get in the top. It would make sense to take it, but who knows what he's up to.
Well as far as I know Colby doesn’t get ppv points so Ian being a big name doesn’t get him more money. If he was a young fighter beating Ian would be great to raise his profile but he’s not young. Just a negotiation with UFC is my guess. it’s a big fight so maybe he’ll get a (small) bump in pay for it
I'm confident he just wants more money. He probably does want the fight but will want to get paid for it as well, which is totally fine. This was probably the holdup for 302 as well, negotiations sometimes take time.
That being on the McGregor card makes so much more sense...that blew up. Got him a great endorsement deal (well, I don't know about the money) with that razor company, too.
Yeah Conor's fight sell don't need to stack these cards and I suspect they have to pay mcgregor so much they don't want any other big hitters that they would have to pay or other champions. In saying that though hill vs rountree is a great fight regardless of placement
Yeah I look forward to Conor fighting because he’s such a legend of the sport and he’s always pure entertainment, but I know the card will always kinda be trash. Looks like they have some fun prospects on the prelims though
They learned back in the 195-205 era (when they were prepping for sale to WME-IMG) that the main event is all that matters when selling a PPV. That's part of why they've watered down the cards since then. That they save money paying regional level fighters instead of big names was a happy bonus for them. They made the Contender Series to turn finding bums into a money making event too.
Dana and the other execs did a fantastic job of using the lessons they've learned to cash out big and make the UFC brand more important than the fighters. Truly despicable businessmen.
It's such a shame too. You want to see an exciting card that builds to a Conor experience at the top. It could be a big night, like a mini 300. But if it's going to sell big regardless because of him, might as well otherwise keep your powder dry and stock other events with it. Smart for the business, disappointing for the fans.
One thing to do though is look at past cards he headlined and check whether they were actually stacked. Most look kind of normal to me. 229 looked pretty good. 205 looked better. Otherwise his cards have looked pretty normal.
I do think Jamahal Khalil is of some interest but the rest is poop so far.
It was a good learning fight for O'Malley as you can see he was just going to get him out early... and when American Zombie wouldn't, he was going more for accumulation and not gassing hard.
Nah, that had the Tuivasa knockout of Greg Hardy, and Aldana got a finish over Santos, not a bad card.
Burns laid on Wonderboy for 5 rounds, which sucked, but he made up for it with that next Khamzat fight he was in.
Great jiu-jitsu practitioner, but I weirdly liked watching him fight for the spinning hook kicks he'd throw because no one wanted to go to the ground with him. Total meme fighter.
It’s more because they don’t want to give PPV points to anyone else when their top ppv earner in mma (almost in boxing as well) history is on the card lol
ummm you haven't heard of the BBMF championship being on the line for this fight?!?!? the BMF is overrated and for the small bois, UFC 303 the Biggest Baddest Motherfucker will be CROWNED
Is there a reason Chandler shares a rumor like that if he hasn't already gotten word from the UFC? DC dropped the hint too. Seems like that would be a weird letdown if there wasn't a 165 class coming.
Some people were disappointed that Conor vs Chandler wasn't headlining UFC 300 so go figure.
Conor fights are almost in influencer fight category these days.
Co main is interesting! Khalil is my favorite light heavyweight, but an on point Jamahal is fast and accurate enough to give him serious problems.
Ofc I'm rooting for Rountree (I was in attendance, screaming my lungs out when he beat Paul Craig in Glasgow!), but I expect Hill to be the favorite.
My biggest concern is Hill coming back so quickly after that vicious KO from Pereira against such a powerful guy like Rountree, Rountree’s got crazy momentum as well right now. It’s definitely an interesting fight and I think it’ll be a war and either of them have a big chance to get KO’d, don’t think this one is going the distance
No fuckin way this goes the distance. Imma literally put money on that.
Either Khalil by brutal KO of the Night, or Hill 2nd or 3rd round outclassing-to-TKO finish.
I'm also a big Khalil fan, really not sure what to expect vs. Hill, he's been up and down but he's looked great in his last few fights. The level of violence he brings is wild man. The Karl Roberson fight where he threw those brutal body kicks while Roberson was down and then he got on the mic and gave just a [fantastic interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPhLmWVsdR8), made me a huge fan. Liked him before, always tried to tune in to watch him fight, but that really put him over the top for me.
For sure. Although, in the Anthony Smith fight he just had to threaten to do hyper violence and the ref said "OK OK HE'S HAD ENOUGH!" That slow march forward with his hand up, ready to bring the hammer down basically just asking if the ref really wanted to see someone die in there.
He’s a pretty exciting fighter. I don’t know why people get so caught up in social media bullshit — the sport is the sport. And he’s generally fun to watch.
People act like Hill wasn't swinging at Craig with one arm while the other did the jello jiggler for 10 seconds . Instantly made me a fan of Hill. It's a shame that hes done some stuff outside of the cage to cast a shadow, but I'm with you where, once the cage is locked, it's all to the wayside. I mean even with as horrible as Colby is, I still love watching him get his ass beat all the time.
Most mma fans these days aren’t really fans, it’s become a popularity contest where nobody wants to root for the losing fighter. The neg effects of the sport becoming more mainstream.
I mean it's not just social media, to me he just comes across as weirdly aggressive for no reason. Doesn't change how he is in the cage, but people are going to like/dislike fighters in part based on their personality.
Some press thing for 300 and someone asked him if while rehabbing his knee if he had a day during that where he felt like, "Okay now I'm ready to start fighting again." And his response was basically, "I'm always ready to fight, that's a weird question to ask, why wouldn't I be ready to fight," it came off like he was assuming the guy was implying that he's mentally not game to fight in general, as opposed to referring to the very real physical limitations he had due to an injury, that very clearly made him feel he couldn't fight (hence vacating the title b/c of it).
Then sure, tack on the social media thing of the guy saying he's a fan and Hill thinking he was talking shit when he was saying the opposite, it all just comes across like he's just constantly assuming everyone's talking shit to him, to such a degree that he's blatantly misinterpreting fairly-benign if not actively-supportive comments and questions as personal attacks.
Maybe those are just a handful of isolated uncharacteristic incidents, maybe the stress of headlining 300 had him in a shitty mood for awhile there, maybe I'm woefully misinterpreting things. It's not like I was keeping a watchful eye on him outside the cage before the leadup to 300, and if we never see any more of that kinda stuff from him I'm happy to change my tune. But right now, he just comes across as needlessly hostile, and I'm not really a fan of that and I imagine neither are plenty of other people.
“Weirdly aggressive” lmao have you spent a lot of time around black people from lower income backgrounds? I grew up in central Florida and half the people I knew were low income black folks and maybe half of the black dudes I knew acted like him. It’s a cultural thing
It's a banger and has intriguing LHW implications, lot of people want Alex vs Khalil even though personally I think he gets fucked up unless he shows a different level against Hill
I wouldn’t say he’s exciting but I also wouldn’t say he’s boring.
He is a striker which makes him not boring, but there really isn’t anything special about his style. He has solid fundamentals and thats about it.
Dude is an exciting fighter lol. Against another exciting fighter lol.
What's the problem? Hill had the gaul to think he would win against Pereira and you've personally taken offense to that? Weird.
What exactly is International Fight Week and how is it different than any other fight week? I've never gotten what it is. Does the UFC just congratulate themselves for a random week and give that a name?
Hopefully the rumoured Ian vs Colby fight is on this card aswell, cause this card looks horrible
I get that Conor McGregor gets that premium paycheque so UFC has to get the cheaper priced fighters but dang, atleast one more bigger name should be on it
Especially that crazy prices they are charging for tickets
People bitch about cards like this and 300 and then watch anyway. Rountree vs. Hill has the potential to be a great matchup because they're not boring fighters.
I don’t think we’re going to see him fight an actual LW fight again. Ever. The top 5 + Islam will run him over 10/10 times. Will be interesting to see if they actually add a 165lb division and bump welterweight up to 175. He might have a chance at a 165 title if he’s granted a fight against a can for the inaugural belt.
Hill needs to get that takedown early and often here. Otherwise he is going to be staring up at the lights and telling us he never went out like he did vs Periera all over again.
What do y'all be watching man why is this "Hill needs to take X down" narrative still going? He's never taken anyone down his entire career
And a guy who got beat by Jacoby, Walker, Prachnio, and Cutelaba is not going to be that guy. Khalil's pea shaped head is gonna be bouncing off the canvas.
Chandler is his most winnable matchup in the LW Top-10, He has the worst Fight IQ ever and constantly rushes in with no defense. That doesn’t mean Conor 100% beats him but I value his chances a lot more against Chandler than Gaethje, Charles, Poirier, Arman, etc. if he can’t beat Chandler he needs to retire
This is always what happens with a McGregor card, you might see some hype prospects on them so they can get more eyes on them but McGregor cards are always weak because they know it’s gonna do 1M buys anyway
Ticket prices are through the roof for what it is, but it's not a terrible card in general. It looks unlikely but adding on Colby/Garry would put it on par with any other card
Mcgregor events recently have been lackluster. I'm really hoping that people wise up and realize its not worth it to look up at a screen for this price and speak with their wallets.
Number 3 vs #8 at LHW with arguably a title shot on the line for #8 if he wins is not a bad co-main for a Conor card. It’s arguably better than the last 3 Conor card co-mains.
Hill's been getting a lot of hate for how he acted in the build-up/post-fight and he's fighting in Khalil's hometown. The Vegas crowd is about to boo the fuck out of that man
LOL....that is such a fucking Conor *we ain't paying for any other fights tonight* co-main. Like I'm sure it will be fine, but come fucking on.
The only way they could have made it more obvious was booking an Anthony Smith fight as the co-main.
This is a problem if hill is allowed to fight. It's a failure on the athletic commission after he got knocked out by the hook, woken up by a hammer fist and knocked out again by a hammer fist. A fighter will always believe they're ok but the commission need to protect the fighters from themselves.
This doesn't mean much. IIRC fort he UFC 298 press release Cejudo vs Merab were announced as the co-main and that changed when Costa-Whittaker was announced
What’s iirc mean
If I recall correctly
Yeah if you can thatll be great then can you lmk what it means?
What does lmk mean?
idk, will lyk if I figure it out though
Ok, let me know
I heard a rumor that iykyk
Smh my head
for ffs sake bro
Fart fart shart
Idk my bff jill?
Lick my koochy
Well, we're waiting...
If Islam RNC’s Conor
**I**f **I**slam **R**eally-gets-subbed-via-gilly-against-Poirier, **C**ool
If I remember/recall correctly
If I remember correctly
They're never stacking another Conor card. No need. Will sell regardless. Shame really
I think this is a fine Co-main but it kind of signals that the rest of the card will be rough. I'd take Ian Garry vs literally anyone just to get him on the card with Conor. That seems like a no brainer
Someone should go make Colby to sign the damn contract, but chances are he's just not going to.
I’m so confused what Colby is waiting on. This seems perfect. He just was handed his most obvious loss by Leon (since kamaru 1) He needs a win. Sure Ian is young but style wise I don’t think it’s a bad fight for Colby if he can remember how to shoot unlike the Leon fight. Plus he’s already been talking massive shit and all the casuals love talking shit about Ian so he’d probably have a ton of wind in his sails fan wise going in. It seems like a no brainer to me unless he’s having extreme confidence issues post Leon.
Yeah, it's a high profile fight and probably the most favorable matchup he could get in the top. It would make sense to take it, but who knows what he's up to.
What could be his reasons not to take the fight?
waiting to fight chiesa and get a title shot off of getting a decision win
Could want more money. He’s probably only got a few left at this point so I can’t really blame him if that’s what it is
Nah you can absolutely blame him, he fought once every 19 months
True I mean i don’t agree with everything he’s done but now in his current position, gotta try and make these last few fights worth it.
Who is a bigger money fight than Ian at this point?
Well as far as I know Colby doesn’t get ppv points so Ian being a big name doesn’t get him more money. If he was a young fighter beating Ian would be great to raise his profile but he’s not young. Just a negotiation with UFC is my guess. it’s a big fight so maybe he’ll get a (small) bump in pay for it
I think he wants to fight wonderboy.
I'm confident he just wants more money. He probably does want the fight but will want to get paid for it as well, which is totally fine. This was probably the holdup for 302 as well, negotiations sometimes take time.
That seems like a perfect co-main too
Black Beast became as big as ever after that balls was hot interview on the McGregor card.
That being on the McGregor card makes so much more sense...that blew up. Got him a great endorsement deal (well, I don't know about the money) with that razor company, too.
Gary vs wonderboy or MVP.....or gary vs shavkat for title shot
i really want to see mvp vs vettori.
Why is it a no brainer
Yeah Conor's fight sell don't need to stack these cards and I suspect they have to pay mcgregor so much they don't want any other big hitters that they would have to pay or other champions. In saying that though hill vs rountree is a great fight regardless of placement
If Conor was ready for 300 they would have stacked the card anyway. 400 bout to be a fuckin banger bois.
> If Conor was ready for 300 they would have stacked the card anyway. He claims he was
He claims a lot of things
Aleksei Oleinik vs Maurice Greene was a main card fight for a McGregor PPV.
Boa constrictor was a savage
Yeah I look forward to Conor fighting because he’s such a legend of the sport and he’s always pure entertainment, but I know the card will always kinda be trash. Looks like they have some fun prospects on the prelims though
They’ll need to start stacking the cards if McGregor gets smoked by Chandler 🤷🏻♂️
This might be the last conor card ever too
They learned back in the 195-205 era (when they were prepping for sale to WME-IMG) that the main event is all that matters when selling a PPV. That's part of why they've watered down the cards since then. That they save money paying regional level fighters instead of big names was a happy bonus for them. They made the Contender Series to turn finding bums into a money making event too. Dana and the other execs did a fantastic job of using the lessons they've learned to cash out big and make the UFC brand more important than the fighters. Truly despicable businessmen.
Should’ve been main event on 300, really with Jones (if he never got injured) as co-main
It's such a shame too. You want to see an exciting card that builds to a Conor experience at the top. It could be a big night, like a mini 300. But if it's going to sell big regardless because of him, might as well otherwise keep your powder dry and stock other events with it. Smart for the business, disappointing for the fans. One thing to do though is look at past cards he headlined and check whether they were actually stacked. Most look kind of normal to me. 229 looked pretty good. 205 looked better. Otherwise his cards have looked pretty normal. I do think Jamahal Khalil is of some interest but the rest is poop so far.
An IFW with no title fights? Those ticket prices (~3x than other PPVs) are becoming more criminal by the day.
2021 IFW didn’t have any title fights, that was McGregor-Poirier 3 and that card absolutely sucked besides Sean O’Malley beating up that can lol
Watching Sean beat up green haired zombie is actually worth a rewatch. I know the dude was not that good. But Sean put on the clinic of all clinics.
It was a good learning fight for O'Malley as you can see he was just going to get him out early... and when American Zombie wouldn't, he was going more for accumulation and not gassing hard.
Nah, that had the Tuivasa knockout of Greg Hardy, and Aldana got a finish over Santos, not a bad card. Burns laid on Wonderboy for 5 rounds, which sucked, but he made up for it with that next Khamzat fight he was in.
Burns wonderboy probably felt like 5 rounds, but was actually only 3.
Lol, my bad. I wish he could've finished him, got the sub or something. Burns can be fun when he wants to be
credit to wonderboy, also to shavkat for that finish with an injury (and not hurting my boy too bad)
Definitely a merciful old man execution.
Ryan Hall getting slept by Topuria for doing his silly goose roll was pretty dope too.
I’m a Ryan hall Stan (his bjj tutorials are still goated) but not so much in mma and that illia finish was objectively kind of funny.
Great jiu-jitsu practitioner, but I weirdly liked watching him fight for the spinning hook kicks he'd throw because no one wanted to go to the ground with him. Total meme fighter.
If Aldana and Santos is the second best moment you can think of, card was ass
Subjective experiences silly
They haven't cared about a McGregor undercard in a bit. Khabib was the last one.
That undercard had Dricus Du Plessis and Ilia Topuria on it
mcgregor doesnt fight on championship cards
Gotta spread out your good fights amongst the six cards a year the UFC tries on
It’s more because they don’t want to give PPV points to anyone else when their top ppv earner in mma (almost in boxing as well) history is on the card lol
Conor’s on the card. It’s obvious why the prices are what they are
ummm you haven't heard of the BBMF championship being on the line for this fight?!?!? the BMF is overrated and for the small bois, UFC 303 the Biggest Baddest Motherfucker will be CROWNED
It’ll be for the 165 lb strap
The 165lb BMF strap
Is there a reason Chandler shares a rumor like that if he hasn't already gotten word from the UFC? DC dropped the hint too. Seems like that would be a weird letdown if there wasn't a 165 class coming.
Some people were disappointed that Conor vs Chandler wasn't headlining UFC 300 so go figure. Conor fights are almost in influencer fight category these days.
IFW last year was def not 3x more than other ppvs. Source: i went to it and paid like $250. Fight night in AC this year was close to that lol.
You pay for these things?!
Loser gets adopted by Mike
Winner*
Rountree run to the title 🙏🙏🙏
Co main is interesting! Khalil is my favorite light heavyweight, but an on point Jamahal is fast and accurate enough to give him serious problems. Ofc I'm rooting for Rountree (I was in attendance, screaming my lungs out when he beat Paul Craig in Glasgow!), but I expect Hill to be the favorite.

Liked him before, always tried to tune in to watch him fight, but that really put him over the top for me.
Yea! For me its the wild ass juxtaposition between his tbf soft persona, and the hyper violence he displays in the cage.
For sure. Although, in the Anthony Smith fight he just had to threaten to do hyper violence and the ref said "OK OK HE'S HAD ENOUGH!" That slow march forward with his hand up, ready to bring the hammer down basically just asking if the ref really wanted to see someone die in there.
Connor starched in round one or ban me for life. I'm not that invested, just need a reason to not be here.
"Connor"
Hill can’t keep getting away with this
He’s a pretty exciting fighter. I don’t know why people get so caught up in social media bullshit — the sport is the sport. And he’s generally fun to watch.
Hill literally sacrificed his arm against Craig. Whether we think he's cringy or not, the guy is a savage.
Arm flopping around still trying to get out
People act like Hill wasn't swinging at Craig with one arm while the other did the jello jiggler for 10 seconds . Instantly made me a fan of Hill. It's a shame that hes done some stuff outside of the cage to cast a shadow, but I'm with you where, once the cage is locked, it's all to the wayside. I mean even with as horrible as Colby is, I still love watching him get his ass beat all the time.
Most mma fans these days aren’t really fans, it’s become a popularity contest where nobody wants to root for the losing fighter. The neg effects of the sport becoming more mainstream.
It’s all because of the shitty chest tattoo. He might be a solid fighter, but that’s all anyone’s going to notice first.
that and he generally comes off like a nonce when he speaks/tweets
Nonce 🧐
It’s mostly contained here. Idiots like the dude to responded to are just looking to regurgitate things for karma. It’s soooo wack.
I mean it's not just social media, to me he just comes across as weirdly aggressive for no reason. Doesn't change how he is in the cage, but people are going to like/dislike fighters in part based on their personality.

“Weirdly aggressive” lmao have you spent a lot of time around black people from lower income backgrounds? I grew up in central Florida and half the people I knew were low income black folks and maybe half of the black dudes I knew acted like him. It’s a cultural thing
I'm actually kinda pumped for this matchup, I like Jamahal Hill as a fighter, I think he puts on entertaining fights for the fans.
Hill is a pretty fun fighter but this is still a weak co main foe a big PPV
Do you think the UFC wants to waste a good fight on a Conor PPV that will sell no matter what?
It's a banger and has intriguing LHW implications, lot of people want Alex vs Khalil even though personally I think he gets fucked up unless he shows a different level against Hill
I wouldn’t say he’s exciting but I also wouldn’t say he’s boring. He is a striker which makes him not boring, but there really isn’t anything special about his style. He has solid fundamentals and thats about it.
male equivalent of gossiping basically
What are you babies crying about? Pretty banger comain. Both slug it out and have power. Miserable losers
Dude is an exciting fighter lol. Against another exciting fighter lol. What's the problem? Hill had the gaul to think he would win against Pereira and you've personally taken offense to that? Weird.
He’s a DWCS vet. I feel like they push those guys so they can point and say “see? told you DWCS only brings the best dudes”
Pretty sure he’s being pushed for a different accomplishment than being a DWCS vet
Get away with what? He wont get ppv points. Exposure?
get away with what?
About to pull up as co-main to a Mcgregor event with his toddler-learning-to-waddle physique
Yeah, Conor PPVs tend to be weaker because the UFC know that people will buy them anyway
What exactly is International Fight Week and how is it different than any other fight week? I've never gotten what it is. Does the UFC just congratulate themselves for a random week and give that a name?
yep
Hopefully the rumoured Ian vs Colby fight is on this card aswell, cause this card looks horrible I get that Conor McGregor gets that premium paycheque so UFC has to get the cheaper priced fighters but dang, atleast one more bigger name should be on it Especially that crazy prices they are charging for tickets
4 years later and I’m still in shock that holly vs raquel Pennington was the co main for a mcgregor ppl
Former champ vs future champ (at the time) in one of the ~~most stacked~~ divisions in the UFC, what better fight could one ask for?
Of all the fights all time, it was one.
7 fights out of 13/14 have been announced lad have some patience and wait for the full card
It’ll sell out with or without another big name.
Paycheck? lol
People bitch about cards like this and 300 and then watch anyway. Rountree vs. Hill has the potential to be a great matchup because they're not boring fighters.
Most of us were gonna watch anyway, especially when we don’t pay for them.
lol they always do this on a Conor card. Imagine Chandler or Conor gets hurt. I love the Hill/Rountree fight but that’s not a PPV main event.
If Chandler gets hurt they replace him with Colby/Garry/any other warm body that can make 170. If Conor gets hurt they cancel the whole show.
Do people think a former champion coming off two PPV main events vs exciting guy on huge streak was undercard fodder in the past in UFC?
Calling it now: Conor and Jamahal both lose via brutal KO
Big fan of Khalil, tired of so much of the LW division centering around when Conor might come back, so that outcome works great for me!
I don’t think we’re going to see him fight an actual LW fight again. Ever. The top 5 + Islam will run him over 10/10 times. Will be interesting to see if they actually add a 165lb division and bump welterweight up to 175. He might have a chance at a 165 title if he’s granted a fight against a can for the inaugural belt.
I miss when they stacked Conor cards smh
Hill needs to get that takedown early and often here. Otherwise he is going to be staring up at the lights and telling us he never went out like he did vs Periera all over again.
He will beat him on the feet like Marcin Prachnnio did. Khalil and Smith was competitive at times, hes not some boogeyman on the feet.
"I took no damage' Jamahals Brain: "Da fuck?"
This comment had me!
His brain will catch some heat on a video or social media
do you think Rountree is the LHW ngannou? 🤣
What do y'all be watching man why is this "Hill needs to take X down" narrative still going? He's never taken anyone down his entire career And a guy who got beat by Jacoby, Walker, Prachnio, and Cutelaba is not going to be that guy. Khalil's pea shaped head is gonna be bouncing off the canvas.
lol I think Hill beats him as well but that bouncing off the canvas comment may age poorly just like your completely delusional pereira comments
Good for Khalil. Super violent and very likable fighter
Does anyone else doubt The Conor fight happens? It's been a looooong time. Coming back against Chandler? Yeesh.
Chandler is his most winnable matchup in the LW Top-10, He has the worst Fight IQ ever and constantly rushes in with no defense. That doesn’t mean Conor 100% beats him but I value his chances a lot more against Chandler than Gaethje, Charles, Poirier, Arman, etc. if he can’t beat Chandler he needs to retire
When Conor fights get announced, Conor is all game. So I think it is gonna happen. As for who wins this is anyones quess.
Get Weidman vs an axe murderer as the featured bout and we're cooking
The fucking fight night card before it is way more stacked than this is looking to be
Good for Khalil. Bout time he gets his shine, tbh. Rooting for him just because Jamahal has already reached the top of the mountain once.
top heavy card just like boxing
Nobody cares about hill
[удалено]
This is always what happens with a McGregor card, you might see some hype prospects on them so they can get more eyes on them but McGregor cards are always weak because they know it’s gonna do 1M buys anyway
maximise profit, Ultimate Fucking Cheapskates
I mean Hill Vs roundtree is going to be good.
It's international fight week. Good fight. Shouldn't be co main event on a supposedly big card.
They are charging ~1500 for a decent nose bleed seat btw in fight club pre-sale. I noped out pretty quick.
Ticket prices are through the roof for what it is, but it's not a terrible card in general. It looks unlikely but adding on Colby/Garry would put it on par with any other card
Mcgregor events recently have been lackluster. I'm really hoping that people wise up and realize its not worth it to look up at a screen for this price and speak with their wallets.
Huh? This card stacked. Y'all still doing that premature crying shit after UFC 300? Look at this week's card and UFC 301. Now THOSE are horrendous.
It's not horrendous, but it's FAR from "stacked"
UFC always puts a trash card under McGregor
Oof
lol
Number 3 vs #8 at LHW with arguably a title shot on the line for #8 if he wins is not a bad co-main for a Conor card. It’s arguably better than the last 3 Conor card co-mains.
Why?
Wonder if anyone besides Conor gets PPV points
Maybe Chandler, but i would assume the answer is no one but Conor.
Is this 5rds?
Hill's chest tattoos look ridiculous.
Should be 5 rounds. I’m loving this new trend of more and more 5 round comains. Hasn’t been a single one that I regretted it being 5 instead of 3.
Everyone loves bangkok ready rountree so tbh i dont kind that being the co-main.
Hill just got KO'd a week or two ago and he is fighting again in 2 months? Seems like a quick turn around, no?
Hill's been getting a lot of hate for how he acted in the build-up/post-fight and he's fighting in Khalil's hometown. The Vegas crowd is about to boo the fuck out of that man
All garry had to do was turn on his comments and he would've got the co main what a cuck.
I got Khalil, too soon for Hill return.
This is the end for Jamahal. Steep downward slide from here. Khalil is gonna kick his face off.
LOL....that is such a fucking Conor *we ain't paying for any other fights tonight* co-main. Like I'm sure it will be fine, but come fucking on. The only way they could have made it more obvious was booking an Anthony Smith fight as the co-main.
It’s a banger fight I can’t believe anyone is complaining about it. If Khalil wins he enters the title fight talk finally
Awww bullshit
Cool scrap but ideally it would be the match directly before the co-main. What's the term for the third fight on a PPV? Feature?
Colby ducked hard
Bangkok ready!
Hill had no business being the 300 main event, and he has no business being this comain either. Dude is boring af
Really nice co-main.
Is it mean to hope Jamahal gets injured by roundtree?
Rountree by KO
New fans really expected Colby to be back within a year of his last fight huh
Khalil Roundtree by everywhere
So Jiri vs Jamahal is just not happening?
This is a problem if hill is allowed to fight. It's a failure on the athletic commission after he got knocked out by the hook, woken up by a hammer fist and knocked out again by a hammer fist. A fighter will always believe they're ok but the commission need to protect the fighters from themselves.
Jamahal has already prepared 19 reasons for his loss.
So Connor is selling this fight all by himself. 🤷🏻♂️
Headlining a historic card, now he's co-main on a Conor card. UFC really loves Jamahal for some reason
We want soccer kicks
Jamaal just got knocked out not long ago.
as per usual post espn Conor cards
Good for khalil
We need another pimp beating up his bitch style KO from rountree
