Lot of good fights announced within the past week or so

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Really wanted to see Usyk get the Fury fight, but that’s still pretty good.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

oh man lots of big fights announced, Hungover Costa vs LUKE ROCKHOLD in the works for August 20, O Malley vs Munhoz for UFC 276 on July 2nd, Lawler vs Barbarena on the same card, and there are rumours we'll get CHimaev vs Nate on that card but GOD I HOPE NOT

Chimaev vs Nate is gonna be like when Ivan Drago kills Apollo Creed

Nobody's asking for this

 

[AA484]

If Jorge Masvidal whooped Nate's ass, I can only imagine what Chimaev might do. The oft-rumored Poirier bout would have been much better.

 

[Gert]

Well, I guess Nate gets his fight so he can get out of his contract. Tough way to go, but I'm sure it'll be more popular than a Chimaev-Covington sales wise.
