If I was Al I be making a huge public stink and making the UFC look like bias morons. If he ever wanted to **** on them, this is the time. I am surprised he not talking ****, this is like perfect for him.

If there just going to scratch Nurmy, they should just move him and Holloway to the next card.

Prediction: Nurmagomedov  |  Submission  |  Round 4

Iaquinta had already weighed in, .2 over and started rehydrating again. Plus his ranked too low, like Felder. UFC isn't in control man. The commissions are. Idk why that's so confusing. If UFC was in control Max would still be fighting.

It's a great opportunity  though for some fighters lower on the card to step up and show out  , go all out in an action fest to save the show and the future of MMA in Wisconsin (Big pun)

I did not realize he had weighed in. Commissions do not decide who fighting,. they simply decide who can't fight.  So UFC does have it say and they never would of picked Al anyways. However I did not realize he already weighted in at .2 over, so it a moot point I guess.   As for ranking, Al was taken out of them because UFC butt hurt with him.  Prior to being taken out of the rankings he was ranked in the top 10 and has not lost since then. I highly doubt the commission would of not allowed the fight saying he was to low ranked.Unlike Felder, he was ranked in the top 10 and was taken out of the rankings because of inactivity, not because he ever lost a fight. However new york is a **** show, so who knows.

Commissions can have say in approving fights

What about you just said differs from what I said?  I said they have the ability to say who can't fight, not who is goning to fight.


Though to be honest, not sure why I even bother responding when your the same guys who thinks PEDs don't help fighters lol.

From everything i'm seeing Nurmy vs Ragin' Al should be announced soon. Though it looks like Khabib can only win the belt...

I heard different things from different people about his weight, but yeah if he was overweight just make it a title fight for Khabib and a non-title fight for Max.

honestly for Max I am glad. I don't think it worth it for him, unless there a title on the line.
