Would be an awesome main event in Saudi, Morales/Shavkat would also be an amazing title eliminator if the latter is ready by then

So Brutal. Tough look to have two big champ fights on UFC 333 and an interim on 332.
The full main card for UFC 332... 😬

This is what happens when you get super aggressive and continuously kick a dumb contract down the line. I like Andrew Berry, but he and his team have gone full Mickey Loomis on the cap and it’s going to have serious consequences over the next few years.
Deshaun Watson's contract contains a built-in poison pill. If he's on the roster next March 13th, a $200M salary guarantee kicks in. This affords Cleveland the opportunity to designate him a Post 6/1 release before 3/13, which splits the remaining dead cap into: 2027: $34.6M 2028: $51.5M

Dolidze's got to retire man he doesn't even come close to being competitive in fights anymore.
Reinier de Ridder's ground-and-pound earns him a TKO win over Roman Dolidze 🥊 Watch the co-main event at #UFCSacramento next on SN360 or stream on Sportsnet+ 📺

You’d imagine with tickets going on sale in ~ 24 hours the main and co-main should be getting announced pretty soon. Imagine it will be: Jiri - Costa ILH Shevchenko - Silva WF

All but one of these use the AI rankings, not the media panel ones, a big shift from the company still using the media rankings to officially rank fighters on the broadcast. I feel like all the new rankings have done is confuse the public and ensure that people give even less credence to the rankings in general.

Idk why they didn't just make Orolbai/Alvarez. Would be a certified banger and an easy sell to put on the main card.

I don’t want to pile on, but it does feel like every other day there’s a new clip of Jason McIntyre making points that are verifiably false.
"Keenan Allen was their best receiver, he's been cut by half the league" - Jason McIntyre
Community note
Contrary to the claim in the video, wide receiver Keenan Allen has never been cut by an NFL team. Throughout his career, Allen has played only for the Chargers and the Bears, joining Chicago via a trade in 2024 before returning to Los Angeles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keenan_Al… nfl.com/news/wr-keenan…

Could someone explain to me why, despite making a huge song and dance about moving to the Meta rankings, the media ones are still shown next to fighters during the actual fights/on the UFC website.

So if McGregor/Holloway is the fight a year from now, the most obvious matchup for Max in the meantime has to be Mauricio Ruffy.

That was more or less the perfect card/production/experience for the UFC.
