Yeah I don't get this either. They should really stack the main card and prelims with fighters they really want to push or have exciting styles. Zabit Yair, O'Malley, Adesanya, Dern and many others should have been on this card. I know it's not necessary but putting a second title fight as the co main would've been great. This is one of the few times a year they will have a million+ eyes on the sport and to co headline with Lewis Volkov is pretty dumb. Two sloppy heavyweights (Volkov isn't but not impressive in any way) isn't going to make people buy another UFC card. Only the next Conor card at best.
That seems far less likely than UFC having no interest in paying PPV points to somebody who isn't actually increasing the draw more than Conor and any 8 random schlubs on the main card below him.
This is a calculated decision. They're saying "Fuck it, what are you going to do, not buy the fight?"
Yeah I saw that over at r/mma..... Dude has a shitty past and still does shitty things. Fuck him.
I try not to pay attention to athletes' personal lives, but the Andrea Lee stuff bummed me out. I thought she was an idiot months ago for sticking up for a Nazi, but now it all makes sense. Hope she gets the help she needs and that dirtbag gets locked up. (again)
Just saw that UFC 288 main card has 3 women's fights, that's kind of awesome, never would have expected that
lol what
I thought the Leben and Baroni signings were to the only bare knuckle fighting, not a new one......smh

I'm rooting for Khalabib to smesh Conor so he'll retire or go back to fighting at a reasonable frequency.
I kinda want Conor to win because of the chaos that would ensue when he doesn't defend his title again. Maybe it would get Khabib to understand he needs to learn how to strike to lead into his takedowns properly. Maybe it will get the UFC to learn that Conor will draw fighting a broom, he doesn't need instant title shots. Nah, that won't happen, they don't learn.
That and I feel that Tony is the rightful champ anyways.

I wonder if the UFC is petty enough to fire Yair for this.
On the other hand, dunno why he didn't do this in the first place.

Ferguson vs Pettis on undercard of Conor vs Khabib......
They are all going to get injured and not fight

If he actually wants a title fight anytime soon he needs to win and win now.
Jesus Christ, the UFC could at least pretend to give a shit about their fighters health.
There is no way his knee is 50%, let alone 100%. This is deplorable. Like you need to step in for some of these people.

If he drops out of the fight for any reason or loses, his career is not going to be looking very good.
Tony is fucking himself over.
He needs to give himself enough time to heal properly rather than taking a fight where he has to also be mindful to prepare for two other opponents beside the one he's supposed to be fight. He's fighting for the title next. He's the uncrowned king of that division. If he needs a warm up fight, there's no reason to have it this early either.
Also, the UFC are sending a bad message by not giving Lee the Pettis fight. The dude made it public he was staying ready so he wouldn't have to get ready in case someone pulls out. Now he looks like a dickhead and the UFC looks like they don't reward proactive fighters.
