Yep absolutely agree. I really wanted both in UFC. Lazy king is really ready. Yes, welterweight is stacked. But man this guy is really good. Smashed his last opponent. I hope UFC get him before another top organisation. Perfect event for him to debut. But anyway hopefully we see him in there soon.

Surely we also see more fights added to this card. You would think the UFC would add 15 fights to this card. Only a month out from the event!
Only 10 so far?

I’m sure he will get signed tbh. Dana and Fernand lopez must have a good relationship if they’re booking all of his guys for this card. We’ve still got 28 days so hopefully they can work something out. Will be the biggest wasted opportunity ever if they don’t get him

Whittaker vs. Vettori
Robert Whittaker, DEC
Honestly this is a great great fight, arguably even better than the main event, and could easily headline any card anywhere in the world... BUT I feel like it's kinda wasted here. French fans don't care much about Italians, and anyway they don't even need this to be happy. First UFC card in France, full of very promising and elite French talents... I mean Gané-Tuivasa in itself is crazy good, Gané is arguably the second best man in the division and is extremely popular here. Cédric Doumbé is probably the best kickboxer on the planet right now, and he's making his UFC debut on this card, this is a potential Adesanya in the making ! Imavov is a talented top 10 middleweight facing a dangerous and fun test, Benoît Saint Denis is becoming a fan favorite not only in France but for any fan that saw him survive through that insane Zaleski beatdown on short notice without quitting, I mean the man is probably the toughest fighter in the promotion and had a nice sub win last time. Taylor Lapilus is making his UFC comeback after a first successfull stint in the promotion (he was 3-1 in the UFC but was realeased for mysterious reasons), and is a potential top 10 at the very least IMO, and Zarah Fairn is... Well, Zarah Fairn is an old mediocre fighter but she's French. It's a shame Manon Fiorot is not fighting on this card anymore, because that would have been a perfect French blockbuster. My point is, Vettori Whittaker is a tremendous fight, that would be better served as a co main for that terrible PPV Nate Diaz-Chimaev... Just my opinion.

Christos Giagos out due to injury. Sucks, was basically a guaranteed win for Benoit. Hopefully they find him a replacement.

a Joel alvarez replacement would be so sick, it seems possible too, he was apparently fighting Mustafaev on the card and that fight didn't go through. Maybe he's already been preparing or something. The only issue is a bit of high jump up the rankings for Saint-Denis imo given he fought Stoltze who I presume would be in the top 55 or something and Alvarez I assume is in the top 20-25. Either that or make Mustafaev vs Saint Denis, both work well imo. Both men live close to france, shouldn't be a hard replacement

Alvarez would be a terrible matchup for Saint Denis. I wonder what’s been going on with the mustafaev fight

Only available ones are Blood Diamond or Pete Rodriguez; French mma commission doesn’t allow people under 5 fights to fight people with more than 5, hence why weeks couldn’t fight. I’m hoping for blood Diamond because it would be a fantastic stylistic matchup

That’s some illuminating info on the French commission!
Hopefully your prediction comes to fruition -  would be a fun fight with Diamond, likely a slaughter vs Pete

Doumbe vs Mike Jackson would be a win win, Doumbe gets a first round ko and the ufc gets rid of Jackson.

Is Lazy King signed or is this all hopeful speculation?

Hopeful selection lol. I’m genuinely shocked they resigned lapilus and have almost every other mma factory fighter on the roster fighting on this card yet they haven’t even given lazy king a look yet. It doesn’t make sense

Lazy king should 100% get signed. It’s a no brainer, Lavrentyev too. I am thankful for the fights I get but sometimes it shocks me with how they don’t sign these guys who can easily be contenders

Absolutely agree both Lazy king and Lavrentyev should be on this card. It amazes me. Dana can sign a heavyweight like Jamal Pogues who, most people would agree got a pity contract on DWCS. But yet, two talented fighters just don't get that same respect?

I agree that it both looks bad & sucks, but it's very possible that from the UFC's perspective they 1) desperately need more heavyweights & 2) fighters just signed off Contender will cost them less overhead

Even so, Pogues does not deserve a contract IMO.
