GDT: UFC 280: Oliveira vs. Makhachev/ONE on Prime Video 3: Lineker vs. Andrade

[SuperScript29]

If Volk v Islam is a thing..

give me Dariush v Oliveira then

Beniel is on the rise and Charles just lost. Charles was supposed to fight Benny and he dropped the fight to take on Tony. Dariush doesn't need to fight him.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

No chance Conor takes that fight without the title on the line.

I see him going after the winner of Chandler and Poirier.

It's the fight to make. You're wrong.

 

[Chaels Arms]

I think there’s some weird political beef here.

His gym, Allstars, was just banned from competing in Sweden also. I think it was for similar goon behavior like starting fights outside the ring etc. Khamzat really is not a great guy.

He is hanging out with a scouser. What do you expect!

Definitely.

But in every pre-fight for Khabib people would be saying he's not that great and will lose against (insert Gaethje, Poirier, McGregor).

I think at least half the people thought Gaethje would win that fight because he had wrestling background to stop Khabib lol.

Yeah, people talked up Gaethje’s D1 wrestling background to the point that it basically became a meme. A lot of good that ended up doing him against Khabib.

Technically speaking, Dariush should be fighting for the belt now, and I have a feeling that Dana would have gave it to him after tonight given that he was supposed to fight Islam. But Khabib jumping on the mic and calling out Volk this fast speaks volumes.

If that's the route they're going with, Benny should be given the winner of Chandler vs Poirier in a title elimination bout.

 

[I am not exposed]

That looked like every other recent Oliveira fight except Makhachev jumped on top of him instead of letting him recover and get back up.

Yep. He got cracked in quite a few of his previous fights. But his opponents were too concerned of going to the ground with him. Understandable so. No such concern for Makhachev

 

[chicagoskycam]

Conor is not getting a title fight. He fought Dustin twice without the title on the line so he might take it but I think he will get smoked

Feel for Gaethje, Dustin and Chandler. They may want to change divisions or continue to beat up on one another. Gaethje or Chandler can fight Conor

Man, just goes to show you how impressive Arman was in their bout.

he also beat Gamrot. Ask CDJ about it...

We are on the same page that Dariush deserves the next shot. Would rather they did that, but it doesn't look like they will.

Oliveira is a bigger fight for Dariush than those two guys. Higher ranking, better fighter, timing is ideal.

You don't really need to do a title eliminator. They'll have options regardless of what happens.

 

[I am not exposed]

I honestly see Chandler beating Poirier and getting a title shot. He's kind of annoying like that.

Dana saying now in the press conference he likes the idea of Cejudo vs Sterling next. Hope they do end up making that happen.

What a cringeworthy fight!

Only saw the main card.

Dariush is knocking on the door, veteran performance from him and a clear win.

I knew Yan would lose the decision if it was even remotely close. Shitty decision but saw it coming a mile away. It's not the absolute worst I've seen but a tier below. I mean, I can at least fathom how a judge would give 1 and 3 to O'Malley even though I strongly disagree.

Just don't give him the title shot, Chito vs O'Malley 2 is the fight to make.

TJ is a warrior and that sucked for him but I'm glad Aljo won in dominant fashion. The guy gets way too much disrespect and I'm sure people will put an asterisk next to this one too, but he is a deserving champion.

Islam/Oliveira went as expected. I actually think Volkanovski has the best chance of anyone right now to win, so I can't wait for that one.

There’s another angle of this that shows Khabib looking like he’s about to jump out of the octagon and go after Chimaev. He probably didn’t because 1) he didn’t want to take away from Islam’s moment, and 2) he likely didn’t want to be involved in another moment similar to the McGregor post-fight debacle.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Khamzat and his whole crew come off as the most un likeable douchenozzles

Chimaev is getting a rep for this stuff but let's not pretend Khabib and his crew don't do their fair share of this shit as well.

I like Dana's answer in the presser - basically that there's a bunch of fighters there for events and sometimes they try to get into fights. Basically, it is what it is

 

[MMC]

Crazy to think Moises and Dober lasted as long with Islam as they did

 

[CDJ]

He’s visibly not in the USADA pool lol

I think it's fair to say that Islam has made sizeable improvements since those fights.
