So...uh...I guess this didn't really happen? Definitely not with any big names other than Romero and Anderson. I guess maybe Pettis was a mutual parting of ways.

Hell baby
I feel like it’s gotta still be coming at some point? Although maybe they want the extra bodies for this year with so many fights falling out each card due to covid

It was Dana who said 60 fighters, so you need to take it with a grain of salt. He's probably including some big names from earlier in the year and combining those with the official releases probably gets you to 30 or 40 guys.

Have to wonder how much of it was just him putting some pressure on guys who haven't fought in awhile to get fights booked for early 2021. Like, is it a coincidence that guys like Chiesa or Leon Edwards haven't fought in forever and then have fights booked within a couple weeks of Dana White coming out with this? I'm not so sure. Probably a bit of a wake-up call to some of the roster.

Yeah they aren’t missing out on much there. Minus looks pretty terrible, Ivy did nothing, McKee is the guy Khamzat ragdolled in his 2nd fight

moras is sub .500 lol

List may be a little longer than initially thought

Alpha Ginger is a surprising one just because he’s generally entertaining. Also an absolute maniac of a human

Markus Perez is probably the biggest name outside of shoeface

poor slippery pete

Megan Anderson won't be brought back - her contract expired.

Will go down as one of the worst title challengers and most overrated fighters in the UFC. Complete can crusher who for whatever reason online mma fans love.

Because she's tall and if you're tall, you can develop a good jab, and if you can develop a good jab, you're unbeatable.

...that's what I've been able to surmise anyway.

I don't get it...

Do you mean from a betting line perspective it was the biggest upset?

correct- at least through my site I believe it was the largest. Pretty sure I saw her close at either +1200 or +1400 against Agapova, it was pretty wild


Of course in terms of impact it’s not quite a Serra-GSP situation lol

Probably closer to +1400 because I think Holm was +1200 vs Ronda

I think Holm ended up around +800 and Dobson was like +950. Serra was probably somewhere in between.

All depends on where you place the bets, I know when you get supposedly one-sided chick fights you can find varying odds depending on the site
