I think its safe to say all of those guys being groomed for TV jobs(Usman, Chandler, Anthony Smith, Cruz) are going stick up for Dana the loudest
this is exactly right. He didn't come to the UFC until he got the big contract. In his defense he's 100 times more entertaining than half these guys asking for money.
Seems unlikely Usman is going to fight again this year. That sucks because he's been a horse, but that division does not need to get held up anymore. Colby vs Leon for the interim belt?
Talking future fights in my UFC group text. Conor-Gaethje Chandler-Diaz Poirier-Colby all on the same card. I’d pay double for that card. Imagine the fireworks. Imagine the shit talk.
Gathje and Chandler would end those fights early Diamond vs Colby would be a war but I think Colby wins
Don't think Colby/Dustin would be that great of a fight. Colby will just dirty box and clinch Dustin up against the cage because of his size, skill, and cardio advantage (Dustin's not some enormous LW either). It's just that Colby has zero power or submissions unless he tires out his opponent deep in a fight. Build up for it would be great though.
paddy is a good character but it feels like he's going to get knocked out in a way that will land him on some top 10
Paddy will eventually be the guy PFL overpays to be their PPV draw for the casual MMA fans/barstool fans Him or Omalley will eventually just take the money vs staying in the UFC for bigger fights
O'Malley doesn't seem like the type to stick around long. If he takes a couple L's I think he will get out.
I'm pretty sure he's got a crazy Twitch following for gaming. I think he's got his own cannabis company. Successful podcasts and youtube channel...
Good for him if he can make all that work without fighting. I was talking about O'Malley walking away completely.
