Michael315Scarn It would be a competitive match-up for sure, but the problem is that this isn't main event worthy. They need to find a good match up that is worthy of being either a co-main or main event fight. Moicano has no name value

But he also had an Instagram post where he made fun of his weight loss. But in general, for me the main argument is the conflict with Holland, in which more than a hundred people participated and no one filmed it

I understand Noxx. But they made Iaquina vs. Khabib a main event for a championship. It’s all make believe. A good fight is a good fight.

@Michael315Scarn

That was after Tony pulled out of the fight. They also offered it to Holloway and he was not deemed fit and also to Pettis who wanted more money. That is how that happened.

Yeah that's weird if true, should be some videos floating around on YT shot with mobiles if nothing else.

Michael315Scarn We'll see what they will do. Poirier was apparently willing to step in too. Although I hope that won't happen, since I want to see him fight Chandler.

Reminder that NYSAC wouldn't let Felder fight vs Khabib because he was unranked. It is good to know the people in charge know their stuff.

Not the big fights but is Dawadu still fighting or fight off?

Yes, they can.  The Jones event going to Cali was another example.

Apparently they really want the Nate vs Tony fight happen. Poirier was on stand-by according to Ariel Helwani

JCM25 Good question. I think we will find out after they solved this ongoing puzzle, because there's no news about that fight either.

I’d assume erosa has no problem taking the fight. Didn’t peterson miss weight when they fought?

Erosa is a gangster if he agrees to fight Dawodu. He could easily say no and nobody would fault him. His last opponent missed weight too. Nobody should have to deal with that ******** in back to back fights. **** that.

By the way, I want to note that in connection with the changes, the card has only become better. At least in the maincard, two fights have been added that do not look like a mismatch

Juicy J said in a Sherdog interview yesterday regarding the Peterson weight miss that he hopes more of his opponents miss, 

“[...]He missed the weight, and I was upset at first, but hindsight is 20/20. After the fight, knowing what had happened because of that, I was so happy that he missed weight, man. Financially, it really helped. Man, I wish all my opponents would miss weight because it only puts more money in my pocket.”

He might be the only figher on the card happy his opponent missed weight.
