I’d rather Iaquinta get the fight. Pettis is a shell of his former self. I’d be all about showtime vs Khabib if it was 2014.

fuck this shit show
guys came in and just started packing the scale up
rip
LMFAO.
Pettis asked for $x the ufc said no, and picked Felder instead.
NYSAC won't let Felder fight for the title ( although he can still fight? ) because he's not high enough rank.
The shitshow continues.
Felder about to become #10 in 5 minutes.
Connor is about to get sued by so many people/companies for this shit, he's probably about to lose that Mayweather fight payday and more.
Goddamn, what a shit show I missed while driving this morning.
Card was still good after Ferguson pulled out, but jfc this completely imploded in less then 24 hours
Edit : someone explain to me what's happening. Is Khabib fighting Felder for the strap or no? I'm so confused and scrolling r/mma isn't helping.
mmajunkie live feed has been in the background all day for me and afaik gryffes's summary above is still the current story
still waiting on confirmationsLMFAO.

Al Iaqinta is in vs Khabib, but because he was 155.2 he can't win the title, only Khabib can.
This whole card is a fucking mess. What a stupid stipulation.
Is this shit show still on PPV?
Is Khabib fighting for the real title or the interim?
who the shit knows lol
So now both guys are eligible for the title because I shit you not, the NYSAC weighed Laquinta's underwear, which deducted from what he weighed in at gets him under the limit.
Edit : apparently the NYSAC doesn't acknowledge that Laquinta is eligble for the title, but Dana will give it to him anyways if he wins.
This thing just keeps getting stranger
i mean how does any commission think they can determine who is eligible for a championship or not?
there's no predetermined structure for ufc championship fights. it's whoever the hell the ufc wants.
hell, joe soto was ranked like #50 when he fought tj for the belt
Does Pettis get to fight anyone?
Nope, off the card.
Everyone who lost a fight because of the McGregor incident is getting paid tho
at least this fight is delivering
Joanna kicking Rose's leg apart finally getting a round after getting boxed up the first 2
ed: ton of heart from Rose storming out the 5th. and, ton of tech. much better boxer, almost always had the leverage advantage, leaned back on her hooks, hid behind her lead shoulder, head moved constantly in the pocket, pivoted out laterally to end exchanges. Joanna made it interesting with low kicks but got caught up headhunting a little too much, did not fight so smart.
kinda schooled jj. was weird to watch
