Can't help but feel this main event **** up is cosmic karma for the UFC for trying to get Nate set up with a parting L against Khamzat.

It's setup. It's what the UFC planned all along.

Main Victim is Jian Li's suit

Marketing scheme

It was never gonna happen to begin with, just used the name value of both to move ppvs and ticket sales. Dana loves Nate, thats why Nate got to slap him and post it

The universe would not let this event go on as intentionally planned. Now it’s perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Oh also Dana just 100% confirmed all those pretty much confirmed fights. UFC 279: Ferguson vs Diaz

I had a feeling that both the main and co main would be 5 rounds. Also wow imagine if they tried to sell a card like this 😂 (before tapology updates) 10 fights, Aldana vs Chiasson as the headliner 💀

I mean think about it fights randomly fall off but are now rematched to better fights? More fan interest?

There was a brawl at the press conference creating more interest in a dead event and make new beefs for the new fights now going ahead.

Why was there no security back stage to prevent these brawls? Especially knowing Khamzat, Holland, Diaz and Tony would be there with their enterouges? Smells like ********.

And the UFC darling Khamzat who made weight while fasting during Ramadan now is stuffing his face with food at a restaurant the night before weigh ins? Not caring about his first and biggest opportunity in the UFC? And showing no ****s given at weigh ins after missing by TEN POUNDS???

I think they saw the PPV preorder numbers for the event and ESPN were not happy. And they rigged this. 100% this is what happened. It's a setup

New matchups are better except for Kevin Holland. That was about to be a banger boxing match, and now he's gonna get wrestle****** by a 185lber. Which is the whole reason he went to 170. To get away from that. We're not gonna learn anything new watching it happen again.

Diaz vs. Ferguson
Nate Diaz, DEC
Another 50-50 fight. I expect a war

Li vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, DEC
50-50. Dwight Grant hurt D rod bad, so i think li can do the same. D rod has very good output though. Awesome fight

ESPN said FU To the UFC for ****** pre-sales. Now we have a new main and comain event. LOL to anyone who thinks this is an accident. 

Main victim is Li Jiangs new suit. Poor guy.

Diaz vs. Ferguson
Tony Ferguson, DEC
What a crazy turn of events. But these are ending up being better fights than the original ones. I think Tony will cause more damage and I think nate is done with this sport

Chimaev vs. Holland
Khamzat Chimaev, SUB, R2
If chimaev is injured and that's the reason he missed weight than Holland has a good chance but he has a problem against grapplers

Li vs. Rodriguez
Jingliang Li, TKO, R3
D-Rod is always game but he's 35 & has been out for a while with a hand injury. I trust leech in a striking fight against anyone

just BLEED

Chimaev vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, TKO, R4
i feel like something has to be up for a fighter to miss weight so hard... and holland had a great camp. he could still get wrestle ******, but he has been improving his tdd and every round begins on the feet! and honestly i just wanna see it happen for how dank it would be

Li vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, TKO, R2
man what a turn of events. jingliang li got ****** over the hardest here hope he made it up in his contract

Got to admit though, it's kinda cool to pick Nate Diaz to win a fight in 2022 instead of a public execution. 

We also need justice for Li's suit.
