Anyone entering a fight with these pull-out merchants need to negotiate for guaranteed money. I can’t imagine the letdown of paying your trainers at camp, your nutritionist, your doctors, etc., and mentally preparing just to be left empty-handed.
Not really. The guy is good but got stopped by nearly all the top guys. He was smart in trying to collect a big ppv check. Unfortunately it would have been more money to fight conor than it is islam
I just feel like the timing so convenient I really feel like the closer to fight came the more uncomfortable Conor felt after how embarrassing his two losses to Dustin were I think he knows Chandler knocks him out via rag doll if you go back and watch that Chandler Dustin fight Chandler was kinda of rag dolling Dustin and everybody knows McGregor is trash against wrestlers. Chandler's not just your average wrestler he's legit at it
Don't know why anyone does anymore. Alex should get any remaining attention still stuck on Conor. This is his "era". Conor's flash-in-the-pan, never-defend-a-title reign is LONG over. Nowadays, he's just a drugged up MMA soap opera star - not a fighter. I'll believe Conor is fighting when the cage door closes and the ref gives the go - not a moment sooner.
I don’t give one single fuck about mcgregor and the faster the UFC is on the sameboat is the faster we can get more attention on fighters like Alex. They deserve all the credit
100% he’s more obsessed with the “Red Panty Night” that a Conor fight will bring above anything & everything else. Zero Warrior mentality unfortunately
13:26 good debate. Whittaker has had double digit number of fights since his last KO win. One could argue it’s easier of a leap up to fight and look better vs a guy not threatening to bury you in the dirt with a punch. Dustin is always looking for the finish via some flurry or submission. I think that could play into Ikram’s favor. Moreover, Does the Costa performance vs Sean make you rethink Whittaker’s win over Costa though? Dustin I feel we were more confident of what he had left vs BSD despite coming off a KO. And he showed heart in that fight to finish a game BSD. If we recalibrate Costa, can we really say it’s a bigger step up for Ikram? Do you feel confident after seeing costa vs Sean ? Bc Dustin went into the 5th round with the pound for pound #1. Whittaker looked out of his element vs his divisions champion lasting 7 minutes. I think BSD will have a good comeback and make ppl see that fight as a net win for him bc that jump in competition was literally bonkers.

Is anyone even remotely surprised? Honest, didn’t everyone know Mctapper wasn’t gonna show? If you DID think he was gonna show, I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you.
@raigresham1298 not going to lie 300 was bad ass and McGregor is just a good memory from the past but we have to know that he ain't going to ever be that guy in the octagon like we once saw
Couple of haters 👆🏽 literally what led you two here ? Could have simply liked or disliked with a button but choose to hate on it instead. Bless you goofies
I agree with you brother and I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it either 🤷♂️ mma moved on before he came back against cowboy the sport moves fast and mma fans are fickle
I don't care to watch The Notorious compete again. We've had some great fights in the last while, and I'm excited at what comes next. Let's all move on from this.
Why are they still pushing jiri so hard? Like he lost his belt and already got finished by alex? His last fight against rakic was an uphill battle the first half, sure rakic folded but does jiri really deserve constant title shots? His fight IQ is super suspect, fun fighter don't get me wrong but some guys are just on danas ballsack
Alex and Khamzats career are turning out to be completely opposite to what we were expecting… We all thought Khamzat would become double champ. He didn’t, Alex did. We thought Khamzat would be the most active champ. He isn’t, Alex is. We thought Alex would be exposed by grapplers. So far, that isn’t true. Meanwhile, burns mostly nullified Khamzats grappling. As a community, I feel like nearly the last decade of dominant champions has been controlled by grapplers. If Alex beats Jiri, then Ankalaev, it would be the most impressive UFC run in over a decade.
Honestly, I think Jiri v Alex is a better main event. For one, it's an actual title fight. Adding Lopes v Ortega turns it up a notch as well. We got Talbott on the prelims, Garry v Page, Pyfer v Barriault. Should be a pretty good card.
I’m the only person that doesn’t wanna see this fight again so soon. I feel like Alex will always win against someone who absorbs strikes as their defense. Ankaliev really sold the bag, bro thinks he’s the champion😂
The Maincard is a W The Prelims imo IS A W, classic Cub Swanson at the age of 88 fighting, Tallbot fight is always sick, and Silva could be nice the early prelims is okay with Tsuruya vs Hernandez gonna be sick
This is why Chuck Liddell was the absolute epitome of a fighter (and Dana's ideal for better and worse). Alex is carrying on the legacy of the Iceman and the UFC of anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Conor vs. Chandler should take place at MSG in November as the CO-MAIN for Jones vs. Stipe. It is a failsafe, but also a chance to put both major cash cows on the same PPV.
They probably don't want to disclose the injury because if people realize Conor can comeback in the next 2 or 3 PPV, it will hurt 303's numbers as it stands right now.
they definitely should move peoples tickets to the next conor card bc those prices were RIDICULOUS . not giving those people the opportunity to get a refund or move to the next card is crazy
So as far as UFC 303 tickets Do Say Event Subject to Change & They won't have to Refund. However the Entire Event was Booked as Mcgregor vs Chandler. If UFC Made Chandler Fight a Back Up Opponent then there would be No Opportunity for Refunds. But Because Both Main Event Fighters are Off The Card UFC will be Forced to Either Issue Refunds or Have People Hold their Tickets until the fight gets Rescheduled.
So after Alex and Jiri have this fight. Jiris last two title fights against Alex have been on 2-3 weeks notice. I wish Jiri could really come in with a good legit camp.
Jiri has been training in his hometown after the UFC 300 so this short notice fight is actually good for him. Alex is also the same, he has been training consistently now.
Nobody in this video or this comment section is pissed at conor for getting hurt. Our suspicions that this was too good to be true were correct, and that’s funny, that’s all.
Who actually expected him to show up?😑 They were using him as hype, as they will drain from him with "possibilities" until he's probably 50. With NONE coming true.
I don’t. He can fight anyone & get paid. If Conor ever returns then off the back of TUF the fight aka Red Panty Night will always be there for him. Wasted UFC tenure
Ian Garry vs MVP definitely should have been on ufc 304, it would have created buzz and got there local fan bases excited, which Ian desperately needs if he wants to be seen as a future star. On 303 it kind of feels lost and pointless. Plus it’s an American show so the local fan base will obviously be there to see the american fighters and the big stars like pereira, add to that both have a karate/kickboxing point fighting style and both probably will be looking for a win rather than making a statement or taking risks. I can see it being underwhelming (especially to disinterested fans in attendance) and a waste of a good matchup
The real Question is “Why are You all Surprised?” Conor had a “Not Severe injury” but claimed to be Indestructible even with a “Titanium Shin”. Conor’s only real injury is his Ego. 06:23 is Accurate
Anyone think Conor was actually making it? Dudes won’t step in the ring until he’s pulling up like Mike vs Paul. Dude doesn’t want to fight leave him be.

and why is that? are you saying Conor is 'pretending' to return just "cos" ?

Cuz Alex hasn't faced any elite grappler. Easy to understand. And Burns still lost. Khamzat is just severely ill.
