Fake news.

I'm not on twitter but I recognize that 'Dizz' account as one that people constantly post rumors and fake shit from.

What about Yoel's own picture from his timeline beneath it?

Makes it even more suspect. If the fight was signed, why would he link the source to some random sketchy instagram account? I don't see the actual source for him anyway. Is that his twitter or instagram account?

I believe it's from his instragram account and it's been posted at S-Dog and Teh U-G forums.

Yoel is 1 / 4 since July of 2017.

By the time this fight happens he will not have won inside the octagon in over 2 years.

It’s utterly ridiculous how all it takes is shit talking in the media to be able to secure title fights.

Thanks Mcgregor, your actions combined with WME’s terrible management, have made this kind of stupidity commonplace.

Are you excited to see these two guys fight? Will you watch? There is always something we could complain about so why not look on the bright side and enjoy the ride instead?

yoel has an argument for beating robert twice on the cards and also could have won the Costa? fight IMO
I haven't seen somebody clearly be the better fighter vs him in years... since rafael calvalcante took him out in strike force

Yoel has been finished once in MMA and his 3 losses were close as it gets with him almost finishing opponent in 2 of them maybe 3
He is one of the most impressive MMA fighters I have seen hands down

Who do you think should get the title shot right now at 185?

Yeah, he is always looking for a finish and i always wait for him to drop some whacky, explosive movement that makes me cringe for the opponent who is subjected to it

People never satisfied

 

[Γαλάνης]

Anything Dizz says, you might as well go and believe the opposite. Wouldnt surprise me if this fight happens though.

This is what rumor peddlers do - take plausible scenarios and pretend they have inside information. This fight has been campaigned for by both Romero and Israel so it would hardly be a shock if it happens.

But the actual inside source is the inside of 'Dizz's anus.

Costa

 

[Rambo John J]

Costa

Ya that would be the fight
but...
Costa has an injury
Dana White: Israel Adesanya won’t face injured Paulo Costa, too soon for Jon Jones super fight
Izzy thinks Costa may have USADA issues instead of an injury
He may be correct
Adesanya Very Suspicious Of Costa’s Injury
so whitaker just got finished
Costa is "injured" or something

that leaves Yoel, Cannonier, Till, etc...

I had yoel edging out the Costa fight or a draw...so I think he is a great Title Defense Challenger for IZZY

 

[Sheepdog]

Cannonier is the only logical alternative and it's a shit alternative. He's looked ok at 185 but he was a .500 fighter at LHW and his resume compared to Yoel's is nothing.

Yoel is the far more proven commodity and the better matcup for Adesanya.

 

[kneeblock]

185 needs some serious help. Other than its top 3, it's all guys ready to be set out to pasture or people no one's heard of.

 

[homo fagit]

Now this is some gourmet shit. One of these guys can fight for the cool interim belt if something happens to the main event

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

I would like to see Izzy knock his cheating head into the cheap seats, but I’ll probably take the old juiced guy for the win.
