Fight I have an update directly from Usman regarding
his fight vs emil meek and whether the fight will be going down.
He said he's been fighting the flu for the last week.
He was told that Meek was unlikely to be issued a visa and that he didn't want to train
for no reason.
He said yesterday he realized that Meek had his visa approved and said it was too late
to fight him.
as far as he knows the fight is off.
He wants to see how he feels next week and then he'll have an official response.
He also said he fears nothing that Meek brings to the table because he can't out wrestle
him, out grapple him, and doesn't have the punching power that Woodley has.
He said the fight was initially made to keep him busy so he doesn't understand why fans
are calling him a duck if he's looking for better opponents.
UFC 218 has concluded and we saw Francis Ngannou obliterate Alistair Overeem with THE nastiest
uppercut I have ever seen in round 1.
I feel Francis possesses the equivalent, if not, more power than shane carwin did in his
prime.In the post fight press conference He said he feels great and couldn't stop thinking
about stipe during his training camp and through the buildup of this fight.
Both he and Dana want to set the fight up as soon as possible.
He plans to spend his bonus money on a training camp in Paris, visit his family in Cameroon,
and wants to invest more money into a gym he's building for kids.
And for those concerned for Overeems overall health.
He said he's fine and was just caught by an uppercut from hell.
Max Holloway tko'd Jose Aldo for the second time via punches in round 3 but did it 40
seconds faster this time around.
When asked about whether he would be interested in a rematch with conor he said "if the
UFC offered me the fight I'd gladly fight him."
If the conor fight doesn't happen it's not on my side I'll tell you guys right
now."
Mcregor trolled Holloway on twitter with this tweet saying that he misses these sunglasses.
This is a picture after Max's loss to conor in 2013.
It must've been his way of implying who the real king of the featherweight division
is.
Conor is tactical so I'm sure he's setting up an additional lucrative future fight.
This was also Max's last loss before going on his 12 fight win streak.
Max replied to conor and said "miss the sunglasses?
I bet you also miss 2015 brother.
Retired fighters love the past."
A poll was taken to see who fans want to see mcgregor face next and it's still Tony Ferguson
for a title defense.
But Max Holloway has pulled ahead of Nate Diaz.
This is a small sample size so variance is a factor here as the voting can swing quickly
in another fighters favor.
Who do you guys want to see Conor face next?
and finally Eddie Alvarez and Justin Gaethje's highly anticipated fight lived up to the hype
as they had a toe to toe slugfest.
In round 2 we saw Alvarez's right cheek inflate to the size of a tennis ball.
I thought he would quit but he pressed on the gas and managed to tko Justin via knees
and punches in the 3rd round.
Both eddie alvarez and Justin Gaethje did not attend the post fight conference as they
were escorted to the hospital.
Both fighters $50k Fight of the night bonus.
