DJ is a national treasure. Glad he is doing work in ONE. This tweet is hilarious and true. Henry is just doing the Conor McGregor where he wears 2 titles and defends none.
Crazy that Figueiredo forfeited his right to the title because of his weight. I wonder how frustrated he is with himself today since he has had some time to reflect.

Has Cejudo said he’s officially never cutting to 125 again? Or is 125 still in play for him?
I would love to see Figgy vs Cejudo at 125

Alexander Hernandez vs. Islam Makhachev in works for UFC 249 in Brooklyn
A lightweight clash between Alexander Hernandez and Islam Makhachev is the latest addition to UFC 249.

Apparently Islam Makhachev vs Alexander Hernandez is in the works. Islam is gonna break this dude in half.

So is this always going to be a part of MMA or is there some sort of system that could be implemented to overturn a stoppage, on the spot, and continue a fight from that moment onward?

Amanda Nunes will defend her 145 title against Felicia Spencer at UFC 250
Spencer famously lasted 3 rounds against Cyborg, losing a mostly one sided decision, getting pretty beat up but showing an iron chin and toughness in the process.
she just won her last fight via first round TKO last weekend

Spencer is tough as hell and has solid grappling, I suspect this will be a 25 minute beatdown from Nunes though
Nunes is just too powerful

LOL that was one of the best press conferences ever.
"What is it about Tony that makes this fight important for your legacy?"
Khabib: "I think we have to fight.."
TONY: "FUCK YOUR LEGACY"

That press conference and stare down had me giddy like a little kid. Khabib kicking Tony's fake belt off the stage was hilarious.

If I learned one thing in the Zhang, Joanna fight is that Zhang misses a lot of the punches she throws, I noticed it early on and thought she was gonna gas out fast like that but she was able to keep the pressure on the entire fight. Never seen anyone swing for the fences, miss that much and maintain that pressure for 5 rounds. That was insane.
It seems like when she punches she just throws the combos shes been practicing when hitting pads with her coaches. She doesn't deviate away from that at all. That's a big problem, she can't adapt to her opponent in the middle of a fight.

Terrible for people attending, but last few in Brazil have had shit fans so no sympathy here.
Same for NGANNOU VS ROZENSTRUIK.
Hopefully resolved before mid April...
So no point going to Brazil, have it at the UFC institute, just disinfect before each fight.

UFC Brasilia will be at an empty stadium and will apparently run 2 hours early. Double check just in case.
Other fight nights moved to UFC Apex Institute. London UFC might have a crowd, but anything can change in a week. They've postponed the football there and this'll probably be cordoned off, hopefully not.
Khabib v Tony still OK... New York has a 500 person limit for events, most likely in empty stadium but might be able to squeeze in a few people. Don't care as long as fight goes through.

Lee is just one of those “too big for 55, too small for 70” guys

so for european people (italy if you feel particularly useful today), what is a good time to stop watching youtube to not spoiling the ufc brasilia fights results considering they are even 2 hours early? i'm the worst with calculating different time zones...
like normally i stop watching youtube at 00:00 or a little later for normal event in american cities.
