Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs Weili Zhang
Watch the whole thing, it's a crazy good fight.
Do you have an excuse for why he didn't even give the wrestling a try in the 5th?
I really wonder if UFC 249 is going to go ahead as planned, maybe they can hold it without spectators
Actually he tried 1-2 times but it was an half-assed attempt.
Also, i already give you the motivation, the coach from tristar (one of the best) is on the same page, joel can't chain wrestle anymore and even the half assed attempts are heavy on his gas tank.
Their backup is probably to hold shows at the Apex but the issue there is that it's setup for the smaller cage. There's enough room for a normal cage but it would look super janky.
Either way they aren't going to stop given the guaranteed money from ESPN.

Romero's MMA grappling isn't that great. He has some great takedowns but he never gets anything from them due to poor positional control. It's just so much effort for no gain. I mean, he's probably the best middleweight of all time and he's achieved that by consistently doing nothing during fights then murdering his opponent based on a read he's made. So it's no surprise that he didn't try wrestling Adesanya more, and even if he did I doubt it would've worked out for him.

Dana is such a goddamn idiot. "Our fans are awesome" for boo-ing out a reporter with legitimate questions.
But yeah that event is not going to happen, I think it is pretty obvious by now and its just going to become even more so in the next few weeks.
I wonder what their approach for the rest of the year will be. I doubt they want to stop hosting events entirely.

Maybe Khabib vs Tony was not meant to happen in this lifetime. Kinda like Jon Bones vs Rumble Johnson never happened. I hope I'm wrong.
Depends if they want to do it with no one in attendance or reschedule it if they want the live gate money....
have all events in the UFC Apex building in Vegas. that's what the building was meant for. events will have a TUF/Contenders feel to it.
UFC on Saturday got moved up 2 hours
If the UFC keeps broadcasting with no fans we might actually be happy that they run too many events if it's the only thing on TV (as long as it's safe for the fighters and staff)

The buyrate may be way up if people don't go to bars to watch it
I think it would be super fun to have such a big fight in the environment they normally have THE ULTIMATE fighter in.
Couple of doods and the team mates sitting cage side, silence and punch sounds.

Hearing what Khabib and Ferguson say to each other in there would be amazing

I don't see Tony & Khabib going ahead.
My heart aches.
Had it 29-28 Formiga but have no problem with 29-28 Moreno. It should've been the main event but as usual the flyweights were jammed in a shitty spot and people wonder why the division can't gain any traction.
