Jiri vs glover rematch may also be added. Also, I know cejudo can return around this time. Maybe cejudo vs yan as both called for it? Also michael Johnson called for hooker (I know you vehemently opposed that matchup but it can definitely happen)

Also I’m sure khabibs boys like umar and zubaira fight as well. Probably get mustafaev and all the other Russians that don’t usually fight because of visa issues. I also know said nurmagomedov wanted this date as well

Yeah no. Jiri vs Glover ain't getting added. Its stupid to even assume another title fight would get added. This ain't UFC 300, and even if it was there's no way in **** Jiri - Glover 2 is headlining over Charles - Islam. Never gonna happen

@drchaotic alright it was just speculation no need to take it so personally. I think it has a higher chance of happening than you think tho

NOPE! It has a ZERO percent chance of happening. And 3 title fights between smaller weight classes and lesser draws. Are you dense enough to think Oliveira Makhachev would co main to a ******* LHW fight??? You think a LHW title fight would co main a lightweight title fight? Use your ******* brains people

It's not gonna happen man. I'm all for stacked cards but it just won't and that's a fact. See my comment above directed at that guy

I didn't know you were so passionate about denying basic logic. I dislike the notion that the heavier weight class has to always headline, but that's the UFC rolls and they won't be changing anytime soon. Other than 2 very rare occasions (one being under a McGregor title fight and the other being for an interim title) the heavier weight class always headlines. I severely doubt the UFC is going to make that happen a third time for Jiri Glover 2 when they could easily put it on another card

I never said it had to headline but I guess ur right. I could just see the rematch happening on this card; it fits the time frame for return. Maybe they save it for msg tho

Never said anything about multiple, they do 2 all the time. It's very common, especially for weight classes that can't draw on their own, but 3 is almost unheard of. The rare times they do do 3 it's either a very stacked milestone card or with the weaker weight classes that can't headline

That's the issue though. You really think the UFC gonna make a lightweight title fight headline over a LHW, especially when the light heavies just headlined a card on their own? And at the same time they wouldn't ever dare make Oliveira Makhachev anything but the main event. It's a weird situation

If you're right I'll be more than happy. 3 title fights in one night on a very stacked card would be great, but I just can't see the UFC putting 2 big draw championship fights (and Aljo) on the same card

they probably would. this is a big time 155 fight; one of the biggest in recent memory. It would definitely headline over the rematch of the FOTY. They probably won't put jiri vs glover on it tho but if they did, I dont think there would be a problem not having it headline

Yeah it probably is. This is also the first title fight where two guys are both on 10+ fight winning streaks since Tony and khabib. Obviously, the latter never happened so this will be the first time that’s happened

Also I didn’t think of it earlier, but given the success he’s had overseas, this would be a perfect card for victor Henry to fight some Russian prospect
