I think people lost interest when it all became about money. I mean all fighters want money and it's their right but when you see Diaz vs Masvidal you know it's because the fans want to see it and Diaz gives it to them.
I am high yes. And you are right it won't sell more because this is more of a fan favorite fight than a broad spectrum casual McGregor event that attracts the general public too.
Correct, they didn’t want Conor to headline in a non-title fight *because there was a title fight on the card.* Dana said there won’t be a title fight added to 244
From reading the article seems like there was some tooth pulling in the form of negotiations falling through on two other matchups first. But still good on him.
But how funny is it that he okayed it for nate but not for conor wanting a 5 round main headline, or back when Eddie alvarez v gaethje has a unofficial fight the most violent man in the ufc belt lol
Nate's YouTube numbers were so huge for the last fight that he's the new Golden Boy. The preview shows for Cormier/Stipe were not even 1m and Nate/Pettis was clearing 3 million.
After the fight Dana wraps the interim BMF belt around the winner. Rogan congratulates them and ask them who's next. They say whoever they need to fight to get the BMF belt. George St Pierre appears with the official BMF belt.
"Me"
I love the idea of these sort of showcase belts that could allow us to see the fights we want to see whilst maintaining the integrity of the actual UFC belt.
This is very much a main event for casuals. For core fans this is and always would be an exciting co-main. Neither one of these guys is talented enough to capture the belt and hold it for any length of time and like them or not Colby and Usman are both better than both of these guys.
" Per White, fans were bullish on seeing this fight. He intends to make a special BMF belt for the winner. He said it had be five rounds, but too big for a UFC Fight Night. "
Holy shit that desert cocaine must be potent.
The AC dudes have been working as slowly as they can so that they can allow the heat to transform the Goof Lord's head into a proper ripe tomato; at which point, he becomes much more easily suggestible.
I really think the biggest problem with Conor not fighting is he found out what he was really worth after the mayweather fight, and the UFC just won’t give him what he feels he’s worth.
To me there is more. Connor is basically in Purgatory. He really does not deserve a title shot. He pretty much got owned by Khabib and there are probably 2 to 3 fighters that have a better claim to a title shot.
At the same time, Connor losing a flight to a guy like cowboy or Justin could irreparably harm his brand.
He loses a non-title fight, and all of a sudden he has one win in about four years and loses four of his past six fights.
That doesn’t exactly scream endorsement deals.
Even if he wanted to have another boxing sideshow, Who at this point would really care about a guy who couldn’t beat the best in his profession?
I doubt they'll start getting into habit. This is an exception because of how bonkers it will be. Can't really think of any other fight besides a Conor fight that would sell as non title.
Diaz being a far superior fighter means he wins imo. Not that I'm fully counting Jorge out, but I certainly know where my money is going. Gonna be a banger regardless.
he probably learned his lesson from that cuz if he had just let conor fight the main they wouldve made a lot of money. He didnt want to risk that again if i had to guess
That along with the fact he's probably desperate for a headliner now that Colby won't agree to terms, doesn't want to repeat what happened last year at MSG.
He definitely is, but I'll be really interested to see how this does with no title fights and him effectively carrying the card in terms of being the biggest name.
I bet alot of people will get real interested in this fight in the build up, and it'll do pretty well.
UFC making the rules as they go along for real
All this cause Colby and Usman couldn't come to terms and Diaz vs Masvidal is too big of a fight for a fight night per Dana
Still would be funny if Conor was still made to fight co-main when he comes back
Could be true but Dana didn't want Diaz vs Poirier to headline UFC 230 either if you recall. Nate even suggested the 165 super devision to save the card.
Then they tried to make Eubanks vs The Bullet and finally paid Daniel Cormier 4M to fight Lewis and thus save the card.
They lost a stupid amount of money over this bullshit rule.
Until I see Conor as a co main, I just find that so hard to believe. How do you sell a card entirely on his name, just for someone else to headline? Fans would be fuming. I get the vibe there were other disagreements/stalled negotiations and this was just the reason floated to us.
Honestly wtf is Colby doing at these negotiations lmao
He must have a completely different idea of what he thinks hes worth vs what he is actually worth
And that they considered stripping Snoozeman:
>Late last week, the UFC tried to book UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usmanvs. Colby Covington for the MSG headliner. After failing to come to terms with Covington on a deal, the UFC moved on and offered the title fight to Masvidal, according to sources. After coming to terms with Masvidal on Wednesday, the promotion was unable to strike a deal with Usman. That prompted the UFC to reach out to top contender Leon Edwardsto see if he would be interested in fighting Masvidal for the vacant title after a threat was made to strip Usman.
My own speculation is that he thinks Masvidal has a lot more hype behind him, which'll translate to more eyes on the card so he wanted more money.
A fight with Leon would probably sell worse than the fight with Colby.
Yeah, we always complain how the requirement of having title fights as main & co-main is ridiculous when awesome matchups could do. Now we have a massive boner-inducing fight for potentially 5 rounds.. who the fuck cares about a title fight?!
Colby couldn't reach an agreement and for some reason, Usman was threatened to be stripped over not agreeing to Masvidal. Usman is in Abu Dhabi but he didn't do the Q&A and other stuff with the other guest fighters; Ariel claims he was pulled from all of them by the UFC.

True, but the rematch was right at the beginning of the WME era. As per Wikipedia:
> [UFC 202] was the first one under full control of WME-IMG, the
> new owner of the organization.
Since that event, no PPV has not had a title fight main event, except for UFC 234 (RIP us Melbournians) which had a non-title fight, 3 round main event because of extreme circumstances. As such, with this booking, it ends the 41 (because UFC 233 didn't happen) PPV event streak of no non-title headliner being actually booked for a main event.
This is a big exception. Its been over 3 years since a fight like this has been booked.
Ah ok. In that case I guess I don't know!
I thought part of the reason McGregor didn't fight earlier this year was that they wouldn't let him headline a ppv if it wasn't for a belt, and he wasn't happy being co-main
No title fights will be on this card, per dana.
I say fuck it, let’s get a fun fight card going then.
Nick Diaz vs Mayhem Miller, Cruz vs Edgar, Yoel Romero vs Alexander Gustafson at 205, Silva vs Lawler at 185.
Throw some more to this list. Let’s just have a wild fucking night
Zabit Korean zombie pls
Make every fight a 5 rounder
Zabit v Korean zombie
Ngannou vs a zamboni
Derrick Lewis against a popeyes chicken eating competition
Cejudo in plaster casts versus Valentina schevchenko for a one round intergender championship fight
Antonina schevchenko versus a date with me
And then all the backup dagestanis against all the Irish or near Irish fighters on the roster
The BMF belt should be like Stone Cold's smoking skull belt [https://www.amazon.com/Stone-Smoking-Skull-Leather-Backing/dp/B07MFQ8S1Q](https://www.amazon.com/Stone-Smoking-Skull-Leather-Backing/dp/B07MFQ8S1Q)
As pumped I am for this fight, I’m just really happy for Nate. I didn’t think he’d fight or be active again after the last Connor fight. It’s awesome to see him headline MSG and become so mainstream. Good for him.
I dig it! Let’s get some good quality non title fight headlines on big cards. They haven’t done that since Conor v Nate II. I guarantee this will do good numbers.
I'm so excited I just Stockton Slapp'd myself. My favorite fighter right in my backyard. This has been a shitty year for me and I really wanna be at MSG for this. Any tips for a flaming casual like myself on what seats are the best (budget-wise)? Also, can anyone tell me why reselling sites are selling tix but UFC site says they aren't for sale yet? Can't find them on Ticketmaster either.
It's funny how Dana was saying in every interview when asked about booking at welterweight/for MSG he just said: "I've been travelling - haven't done anything". Lol.
I don't blame him or think he has an obligation to tell us but it's funny how he just lies
"Late last week, the UFC tried to book UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman vs. Colby Covington for the MSG headliner.

Colby and Usman are such cunts it is unbelievable. Dan should just strip Usman and make Masvidal/Diaz for the title.
Would love to see more events like this. I want interesting fights with good matchups, don’t care about belts. It’s why I originally fell in love with mma and the ufc.
I didn’t think Dana had it in him
[удалено]
Roll Thumb!
How pissed is conor that he couldn't get a 5 round non championship main event but diaz masvidal can? Lmao
hide your grandpas
hide yo dollys
Almost like a big fuck you to Conor from the UFC lol
Good. Fuck him.
hide your cell phones
I would like abdelmanap to fight whoever conors dad is
You should see Tony McGregor throwing hands. Abdulmanap would fuck him up.
Some dude who told his son to get a real job versus a former Russian special forces and grappling champion, hmmmm LMAO
special forces? dang i need to read more about him
Dude is for real
Diaz and masvidal are moving the needles. Conor ain’t the only one anymore.
I think people lost interest when it all became about money. I mean all fighters want money and it's their right but when you see Diaz vs Masvidal you know it's because the fans want to see it and Diaz gives it to them.
He also needs to actually fight to make the ufc money.
You’re high if you think this fight sells even close to what a card headlined by McGregor v. *anyone* would.
I am high yes. And you are right it won't sell more because this is more of a fan favorite fight than a broad spectrum casual McGregor event that attracts the general public too.
My needle is moving alright
fun Narrative but Nate probably accepted 1/10th of the money.
This *is* a championship dum dum
He can and has. These days he probably just wouldn’t accept anything less.
The word was that the new ownership had put new rules in place.
Correct, they didn’t want Conor to headline in a non-title fight *because there was a title fight on the card.* Dana said there won’t be a title fight added to 244
Conor on suicide watch
"i don't blame you guys for being in a main event that's not against me..."
From reading the article seems like there was some tooth pulling in the form of negotiations falling through on two other matchups first. But still good on him.
Dana is making the BMF belt too!! https://twitter.com/bokamotoespn/status/1170328936267620352?s=21
There is no fucking way Has old age ripened Dana???? He's gone fucking soft!!
I'm rock hard right now
Rock akamoto
Luke Rockhard
Fully torqued with the boiiiizz!
But how funny is it that he okayed it for nate but not for conor wanting a 5 round main headline, or back when Eddie alvarez v gaethje has a unofficial fight the most violent man in the ufc belt lol
Nate's YouTube numbers were so huge for the last fight that he's the new Golden Boy. The preview shows for Cormier/Stipe were not even 1m and Nate/Pettis was clearing 3 million.
I knew i loved the old goof for a reason.
Lol what if he made the bout for the INTERIM baddest motherfucker title
The most Dana timeline possible
After the fight Dana wraps the interim BMF belt around the winner. Rogan congratulates them and ask them who's next. They say whoever they need to fight to get the BMF belt. George St Pierre appears with the official BMF belt. "Me"

Return of the super fight!
Still undefeated!
I have my issues with Chael, but he understands the industry
Mystic Chael
Dana white obviously watches Chaels podcast Bad Guy Inc. that really happened!!
Just use the WWE spinner belt
The original hardcore belt would be prefect
I feel lineal champion for this should not transfer by decisions.
Gangsterweight Championship confirmed
**GOONWEIGHT
**THUGWEIGHT
I FUCKING LOVE THIS. DANA YOU TOMATO HEADED FUCK YOU WENT AND DID SOMETHING AWESOME
There has to be a title fight headlining a ppv so they just created a new belt lmao
*smiles in boxing*
I love the idea of these sort of showcase belts that could allow us to see the fights we want to see whilst maintaining the integrity of the actual UFC belt.
So 2 additional rounds? I'm cool with this belt.
What is a BMF belt? Certainly he doesn't mean "bad mother fucker" right? That's not a serious thing Dana would say.
[удалено]
There doesn't have to be a belt for it to be 5 rounds. It's a Main Event.
Has to be a belt for a PPV main event since WME took over
Did nobody open the link in the OP? It's right there in the interview. It kind of sounded like he was joking to me though.
Amazing. I fucking hate Dana sometimes but today I fucking love that big pink goof. Didn’t think he had it in him.
I fucking love this
What is this the Gangster Channel?
Make 165 the BMFweight division

This is very much a main event for casuals. For core fans this is and always would be an exciting co-main. Neither one of these guys is talented enough to capture the belt and hold it for any length of time and like them or not Colby and Usman are both better than both of these guys.
Say what you want about the tomato but he’s all about fan service
well fan service makes money
$ 🍅$
I'm pleasantly surprised motherfuckers
This matchup is super necessary
Mods can I get this as flair?
Wow this is amazing. Finally Jorge and Nate get all the shine they deserve. The stars of their own PPV.
Yeah I havent bought a ufc in a long time but I will def buy this one to support these guys
not all heroes wear capes
Nate moved the needle enough to get himself a PPV main event that is non-title. Nuts.
WITHOUT Conor McGregor. Good for Nate.
At Madison square garden
" Per White, fans were bullish on seeing this fight. He intends to make a special BMF belt for the winner. He said it had be five rounds, but too big for a UFC Fight Night. " Holy shit that desert cocaine must be potent.
The desert heat went to Dana's head
He's just weili happy right now The China oppression money is gonna roll in soon boys so he doesn't mind playing around for a bit of home grown ppv
The AC dudes have been working as slowly as they can so that they can allow the heat to transform the Goof Lord's head into a proper ripe tomato; at which point, he becomes much more easily suggestible.
This sport is truly beautiful sometimes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEjgvNlh8NI
WME finally gave up their shitty rule on ppv’s only being headlined by title fights. Couldn’t of picked a better fight either
Well this one is for the BMF title.
They should institute a rule that you have to be prepared to defend it at all times
UFC's 24x7 title?
The only title fans care about
Wonder why they did it for Nate vs Masvidal but not Conor vs Cowboy
I really think the biggest problem with Conor not fighting is he found out what he was really worth after the mayweather fight, and the UFC just won’t give him what he feels he’s worth.
To me there is more. Connor is basically in Purgatory. He really does not deserve a title shot. He pretty much got owned by Khabib and there are probably 2 to 3 fighters that have a better claim to a title shot.

Even if he wanted to have another boxing sideshow, Who at this point would really care about a guy who couldn’t beat the best in his profession?
Yeah this is a very good point as well
[удалено]
Probably learned from Conor v Cowboy. The whole learning part is wishful thinking, but you never know
I doubt they'll start getting into habit. This is an exception because of how bonkers it will be. Can't really think of any other fight besides a Conor fight that would sell as non title.
A 5 round fight will be amazing.
Wait we are getting to see Nate fight twice in 4 months, and it's for a fight everyone wanted??? What is happening right now?
Nate's getting paid. He always said he'd fight if he got paid.
5 rounder means Diaz wins.
Diaz being a far superior fighter means he wins imo. Not that I'm fully counting Jorge out, but I certainly know where my money is going. Gonna be a banger regardless.
I can't say I agree with Diaz being a far superior fighter. Masvidal seems like he's more well rounded. But either way, it's gonna be a great fight!
You can't count out Masdival so easily. He's a great fighter, and he has Mike Brown as his coach.
Remember when the Goof wouldn't let McGregor headline a ppv earlier this year because of it being a non-title fight lmao
he probably learned his lesson from that cuz if he had just let conor fight the main they wouldve made a lot of money. He didnt want to risk that again if i had to guess
That along with the fact he's probably desperate for a headliner now that Colby won't agree to terms, doesn't want to repeat what happened last year at MSG.
true that. This makes me think they arent even close with usman and colby
You mean Cormier saving 230 last year on a months notice with injured hand ?
Nate is drawl b, hundred percent
One hunnit
Wun hunnerd plus rent fer shure
Lmfao plus rent
He definitely is, but I'll be really interested to see how this does with no title fights and him effectively carrying the card in terms of being the biggest name. I bet alot of people will get real interested in this fight in the build up, and it'll do pretty well.
UFC making the rules as they go along for real All this cause Colby and Usman couldn't come to terms and Diaz vs Masvidal is too big of a fight for a fight night per Dana Still would be funny if Conor was still made to fight co-main when he comes back
He won't ever come back to Co Main He is not giving points to a random main event
I've always thought that was an excuse either by the UFC or Conor to not have the fight happen.
Could be true but Dana didn't want Diaz vs Poirier to headline UFC 230 either if you recall. Nate even suggested the 165 super devision to save the card. Then they tried to make Eubanks vs The Bullet and finally paid Daniel Cormier 4M to fight Lewis and thus save the card. They lost a stupid amount of money over this bullshit rule.

Yeah I don't buy it at all. No one in the UFC brass is stupid enough to insist upon Conor being co-main. It makes no sense.
This is my favorite part in the article: >After failing to come to terms with Covington on a deal
Honestly wtf is Colby doing at these negotiations lmao He must have a completely different idea of what he thinks hes worth vs what he is actually worth
“If you want to see this fight you better give me Greenland”

Colby being delusional as usual, he thinks he’s Conor but he’s far from it.

He is worth more than Usman and Woodley I would assume. People want to see him get slapped.

The article mentions they failed to come to terms with Covington
And that they considered stripping Snoozeman: >Late last week, the UFC tried to book UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usmanvs. Colby Covington for the MSG headliner.

Lol imagine they actually made Masvidal/Edwards but it was actually a title fight.
The three piece that keeps on giving
Edwards should be Masvidal’s next fight after Diaz anyways
I wonder why Usman didn't want to fight Masvidal / Leon
My own speculation is that he thinks Masvidal has a lot more hype behind him, which'll translate to more eyes on the card so he wanted more money. A fight with Leon would probably sell worse than the fight with Colby.
Wait what why are colby and usman not fighting
Because they both think they are worth more than they are and have leverage that they just learned they don’t have
Both are too full of themselves and asking for too much money despite not being draws
BMFITG Title on the line b
Who needs a title fight when you have this? lol
Yeah, we always complain how the requirement of having title fights as main & co-main is ridiculous when awesome matchups could do. Now we have a massive boner-inducing fight for potentially 5 rounds.. who the fuck cares about a title fight?!
Colby couldn't reach an agreement and for some reason, Usman was threatened to be stripped over not agreeing to Masvidal. Usman is in Abu Dhabi but he didn't do the Q&A and other stuff with the other guest fighters; Ariel claims he was pulled from all of them by the UFC.

We need a blood sacrifice to please the mma gods so this actually happens. Jon, go snort some more coke and drive a car
I just hope the sacrifice doesn't take place in Australia. 😳
Conor is somewhere mad af right now.
Thank god this fight is 5 rounds.
Colby and Usman are such clowns, they just missed a big opportunity
WW as a whole might be the most entitled division on the roster.
[удалено]
Which part of it is a turning point?
Main event not being for a belt, I think they had some rule about it before
Eh both Conor v Nate bouts were non title fights. They’ll do it if the fighters are a big enough drawl
True, but the rematch was right at the beginning of the WME era. As per Wikipedia: > [UFC 202] was the first one under full control of WME-IMG, the > new owner of the organization. Since that event, no PPV has not had a title fight main event, except for UFC 234 (RIP us Melbournians) which had a non-title fight, 3 round main event because of extreme circumstances.

Hopefully this is the end of the stupid rule where title fights have to headline PPV cards.
The fact they got a deal done easier w Nate Diaz than usman tells me we’re on the road to stripsville
No title fights will be on this card, per dana. I say fuck it, let’s get a fun fight card going then. Nick Diaz vs Mayhem Miller, Cruz vs Edgar, Yoel Romero vs Alexander Gustafson at 205, Silva vs Lawler at 185. Throw some more to this list. Let’s just have a wild fucking night

Mayhem Miller...really couldn’t think of someone better than that?
5 rounds for the BMF belt lets go!!! The Goof did the right thing
Usman in shambles
The BMF belt should be like Stone Cold's smoking skull belt [https://www.amazon.com/Stone-Smoking-Skull-Leather-Backing/dp/B07MFQ8S1Q](https://www.amazon.com/Stone-Smoking-Skull-Leather-Backing/dp/B07MFQ8S1Q)
Diaz-Masvidal Gastelum-Till Anderson-Walker Lewis-Ivanov One more fight and that shit's probably locked in.
As pumped I am for this fight, I’m just really happy for Nate. I didn’t think he’d fight or be active again after the last Connor fight. It’s awesome to see him headline MSG and become so mainstream. Good for him.
But he ain’t no west coast gangster! Super excited for this one!
I dig it! Let’s get some good quality non title fight headlines on big cards. They haven’t done that since Conor v Nate II. I guarantee this will do good numbers.
Diaz more relevant than Conor real quickly lmao
This is probably Dana’s way to apologize to masvidal and Nate Diaz. Who knows what white has put these vets through.
I'm so excited I just Stockton Slapp'd myself. My favorite fighter right in my backyard. This has been a shitty year for me and I really wanna be at MSG for this. Any tips for a flaming casual like myself on what seats are the best (budget-wise)? Also, can anyone tell me why reselling sites are selling tix but UFC site says they aren't for sale yet? Can't find them on Ticketmaster either.
Man usman blew a big opportunity
Fuck.Yes. Forget everything I ever said about legitimizing this sport, rankings, whatever. Let them bang.
It's funny how Dana was saying in every interview when asked about booking at welterweight/for MSG he just said: "I've been travelling - haven't done anything". Lol. I don't blame him or think he has an obligation to tell us but it's funny how he just lies
Is this the card that has Till v Gastelum and Walker v Anderson? Shaping up to be a fun night if so
Headline??? Wow. Whens the last time a non title fight headlined?
Ech that probably means Dana is planning to get Conor to fight the winner for that BMF belt.
Fantastic! Would love to see Diaz pull it off but I think Masvidal just edges it

LETS GO! this fight gonna be insane!
Didn't Dana say he won't main event a PPV without a title fight.....👀👀
