I got Poirier too. Should be noted one judge today gave a round to a guy who had his back taken and controlled for like 4 minutes so who knows how the official scoring goes.

Was surprised Poirier didn't get him out of there with everything he hit him with. Hooker did a good job of using wresting to kill a lot of time the final few rounds, was a clear 3-2 to Dustin though.

Khabib's father, Adulmanap Nurmagomedov passed away after fighting the Corona virus for months. He was 57 years old. RIP.

Really sucks about Khabibs father. He was younger than I thought. I think its a coin flip whether he fights again.

Looks like Burns tested positive and is out of the main event next week. Im guessing its too late for a replacement so that sucks.

Mcgregor vs Gaethje for interim title in August-September i assume, unless Khabib wants to fight and dedicate it to his father.

Masvidal posted some videos with him apparently getting tested. I figured he was mostly trolling but looks like Helwani is reporting they are negotiating to try make it happen. Seems like a really short window to try get it together.

Usman didn't even fly out on the UFC charter to Dubai.

Would love to see Masvidal baptize Usman with a 3 piece and soda

The deal is done as per Ariel Helwani, Usman vs Masvidal is official as long as both covid19 test comes back negative.

Im going to try to not get too excited until both are officially cleared to fight and landed on the Island. I have to imagine this is going to be a tough weight cut for Usman with all the delayed travel and stuff.

Im way more excited about this PPV with Masvidal at the top of the card.

I'm gonna take Usman over Mas. No Mas on my ticket. "You came over here talking. Do something." Seemed kind of like when Robin Ventura charged Nolan Ryan. "Why did I do this? Oh, I wish I hadn't." (Price is too high, 1/3 unit

)

Mike Perry knocking out an old man outside of a restaurant/bar and then hurling the n word to random people afterwards, ughh, yikes.

I usually don't parlay but I parlayed Usman/Volk...Just don't really see either 1 losing, would be decently surprised if either lost.

Not even sure who I would say is more likely to lose, probably Volk just because he is a little less proven than Usman. But he decisively won the first Max fight and Max really only has 1 style. Max also does not seem motivated at all for this fight, whereas we know Masvidal will bring it.

Im definitely rooting for Masvidal. Think he would be a more interesting/entertaining champ. Not really confident hes going to pull it off though. Im leaning Max in the co main. No real reason for it just feeling it.
