Paulo Costa 3 days out from the fight says there is no way he will make weight. Currently weighs 211 pounds. Disgraceful really, he hasn't even started the real cut yet. This after saying he drank too much wine before his last fight.
Been agreed now they're fighting at a 195lb catch weight
A Costa or Vettori win makes no odds for the division. Such an egregious missing of weight won't be rewarded and assuming Izzy retains again, the interest in a rematch isn't really there. Vettori 0-2 won't get another shot until someone else is champ.
Brunson vs Cannonier is really the intriguing MW match up coming up. Brunson is on a roll and Izzy has expressed an interest in fighting Cannonier in the past.
Id like to see Colby win this weekend but i don't think it will happen,
Ian Garry makes his UFC debut the weekend,
He has a huge ceiling hope he kills it but the way the missus shoe horn's herself into interviews and what not just doesn't sit right ,
Can someone answer me if Valentina Shevchenko ever fought in the Ukrainian colours? I could have sworn she used to come out wrapped in the Ukraine flag
I've searched online and can find nothing.
I think I have a serious case of the Mandela Effect.
I seen the UFC vlog with him the other day, the gimmick is very forced isn't it? The girls who are clearly paid to hang out with him and I wonder has he gone all method, initially doing MAGA for cheap heat but now lost in the gimmick.
I think he probably loses Saturday and retires and heads to the WWE. Nothing left for him in the UFC he gets dominated by Usman.
Good introductory vid, looks to have ended up in a good gym now training with some big names, prelims should be interesting next weekend Iaquinta on there aswell
I don't take much form what was said but Colby looked very drained at the press conference, i thought he looked gaunt in the face,
I think the only way he wins is by setting a pace and out working Usman but not sure if he can ,Usman power will take its toll and slow Colby down,
Masvidal injured
edwards is cursed
chimaev offering to take his place
Edwards would be a fool to fight Chimaev when he's so close to a title shot. There's nothing in it for him.
Rewatched Max Holloway vs Calvin Kattar (on UFC’s Youtube) this morning.
I’ll stick with what I thought at the time that it’s genuinely one of the best performances I’ve ever seen at such a high level.
Kevin Lee released by the UFC.

Gunni was on The MMA Hour. Ariel asked why he's been out for two years and Nelson essentially said that he was rolling with The Mountain and the big lad squashed him and crushed Gunnar's ribs.
He's been battling with that injury ever since.
Yeah saw that, Jesus. Hope he can come back strong, miss watching him fight.
Kevin Lee signed to Eagle FC, khabibs promotion. Weird. Must be good money. He's definitely getting strangled by a few Dagestanis before getting cut
And people thought random 155-170 MMA would strangle the mountain
He’s fighting Diego Sanchez
I'd only loosely call that a fight, if it's made official.
The Bad Guy has still never lost a round.
Undefeated and undisputed.
I have little time for Jake Paul , but I am loving how he is boiling the piss of Dana at the moment regarding fighter pay.
Its obvious that deep down Dana knows its a scandal which is why he isn't trying to dispute those claims but focus on the probable use of steroids by Jake.
Obviously I don't think much will happen when it comes to fighter pay but its good that Jake is raising it even if he is probably only doing it to annoy Dana.

UFC putting themselves in a strange situation with Francis,
They aren't promoting him well ( he could be a mega star )& haven't offered him a new deal & has 1 fight left,
What are they going to do if he comes out and flatlines Gane inside a minute ,let him just walk away after walking through everyone ,
his contract as champion extends if he wins. if they think no-one will beat him they dont have to renegotiate as he cant go anywhere
A double KO would be ideal
Its the biggest non McGregor fight they have so the numbers it does will be interesting.
Colby will win easily by UD and yes they will kiss and make up in the end.
Dean Barry seems to finally be in the UFC. Feels like he has been coming for years!
He signed last January or maybe even 2019 i can't remember but had Visa issues so UFC allowed him to fight on Titan , It was due to being caught with a "package" in his teen years ,
And Dean Barry gets a gimme in his first fight, the UFC giving Mike Jackson another fight. Might as well fight a random from the crowd.
