UFC 226: Miocic vs. Cormier - July 7 (OFFICIAL DISCUSSION)

UFC 226
July 7, 2018
T-Mobile Arena
Las Vegas, Nevada

Main Card:
Stipe Miocic (18-2-0) vs. Daniel Cormier (20-1-0) (Heavyweight Title Fight)
Francis Ngannou (11-2-0) vs. Derrick Lewis (19-5-0)
Michael Chiesa (14-3-0) vs. Anthony Pettis (20-7-0)
Gokhan Saki (1-1-0) vs. Khalill Rountree (6-2-0)
Paulo Henrique Costa (11-0-0) vs. Uriah Hall (13-8-0)

Holloway is out of the co-main event due to concussion symptoms so that fight is scrapped. Still a solid card though but that was a big loss.

Got Gokhan Saki on this card which I am interested in seeing as well.

Since Ortega won't fight Dana decided to confront his manager what happens if Ortega lost?  Interim title fights fuck sake enough with the interim title fights I certainly hope rizin or bellator don't go down this path  As for the who will uh man tough one you can make a case for either one I guess it depends on whose night it is . And don't worry folks we know the cough cough the goat is coming on Sunday Saturday where you guys are I would be astonished if there is no comment like that.

I would not be surprised they are also shit talking max Hollyway for pulling out man don't you just love ufc fans? No wonder fedor shinya bibiano won't sign with them or that Mousasi MacDonald etc left the ufc because apart from dana and the shit pay they probably realised I will get less flak there for losing then what I would in the ufc.

It is funny that they possibly will say dc is the goat provided he wins yet a few years ago he was just a strike farce fighter. They definitely do not like to be called out on it being fake ban wagon fans I suppose because it is true.

I know the interim titles are so ridiculous. I wonder how many there have been in the history of the UFC. So many of them are very unnecessary.

That's ridiculous. It is a good thing they found this concussion. Don't want a fighter going into a fight with that.

Exactly what many of them are. They jump on the bandwagon for anyone.

Look at Cain and how they said he was Heavyweight GOAT five years ago. How many even remember or care about him? They said Anderson Silva was the GOAT but now he feels like yesterday's news.

Oh yeah, I remember that. They have a short memory.

I'm watching the TUF Finale right now. It is worth watching the last fight of the TUF season from earlier this week. The fight was unreal.

LOL

Not sure if anyone seen that Cormier tripped over a speaker at the UFC press conference a couple days ago and was limping afterward. He is OK to fight but a close call, especially after losing Holloway.

Just another reason why Dana is a piece of shit. Sadly, he always has thrown his fighters under the bus the minute they don't bail his ass out. Why would Ortega take a risk when he saw Edgar take that risk and lost?

Fortunately, Volkov is on stand by and has been in case the fight fell through. I believe he even weighed in.

Oh, I didn't know that. At least they had a good contingency plan or else this would have been a disaster. Volkov should get the winner of this fight.

Definitely deserves it more than Lesnar. That's for sure.

Well remember that they and the UFC were saying Demetrious Johnson was the GOAT nine months ago.

Wow!!! What a KO finish for DC. It was impressive. 2 division champ with Lesnar probably next.

Singe dc won we will be hearing how he is the "goat  until whom ever else defends their belt and the goat mantra goes to that person still we all know who the true goat is.

We will hear GOAT status I am sure but Fedor is MMA GOAT. He can own the current P4P rankings but falls short of Fedor career wise. He is in the legend status and in the discussion for MMA GOAT after Fedor.

They are giving brock lesnar the shot at the ufc belt 
4 things 
1 dc should win
2 dc should relinquish the lhw belt
3 I guess volkov is getting screwed over 
4 but but I thought pride was all fake wrestling see it shows im right it is only OK when the ufc does it.

From what I heard Brock may have to go through a 6 month PED testing plan before he can fight so DC wants to defend his LHW title first, then fight Brock, and then retire March 2019.  DC said he is not changing the retirement date.

If that all holds true then it wouldn't be as bad. Volkov would still be getting a bad deal but I am sure UFC will get him in an interim HW title fight in the mean time.
