What do you think MSG main event will be?

[tang]

A lot of people laughed at @tang's post (not sure if he was serious or not), but Cyborg vs Nunes could be a possibility.

At first, I posted as a joke, cuzz she headlined the lowest PPV but later realized, “oh shit, Cyborg”

Possibility

 

[FrankieNYC]

I still think they're going to need a title fight

@MMAHAWK is right about Silva being re-instated after MSG
So there goes my gut lol

Honestly, nobody I know has an idea.
Dana says it will be "big", I don't see a big fight to be made

I will admit, with Conor/Khabib, Diaz back, MSG & Brock/DC its a great time for UFC.
Add in Bellators HW fights & the new tourney, if you are a miserable prick that complains about MMA 24/7 ...

GO FUCK YOURSELF



Seriously even business-wise its great
Bellator is out of red with DAZN & UFC is making bank in 2019 with ESPN

2019 can be the best year money-wise for MMA in history

@FrankieNYC you think Conor-Khabib will do 1.5 million PPV buys?

I never guess this early
The last week is the biggest impulse buys
But it certainly can be

 

[FrankieNYC]

Btw ... I am still trying to find out why neither was in LA

They both were stateside (in NYC) for that reason

They must have just come together hours before the presser

Absolutely. If they are planning on Nate/Dustin being the co-main, they would have to do a title fight in the main event.

Khabib was complaining about pay on Thursday, so I imagine the bout agreement wasn't signed until Friday, at an hour that was too late to get both fighters to L.A. and on stage.

Six-hour flight so they would have had to have them on a plane (separate planes I imagine lol) by 10:30 am EDT

The real MMA talk version of CMNH is pretty good.

I agree
He ask great questions that are legitimate for any MMA fan to wonder about.
Unlike most people that are put in the "troll" category, he is a smart guy

just schtick gets played out.

Take note CMNH ... find a balance buddy

I don't think it's main event-worthy for an MSG card either

@FrankieNYC I might be wrong though. Khabib might've been acting coy on Thursday, as from this interview it sounds like they got the deal done before Friday:

[Buff Bagginz]

No one else is bigger than Nate Diaz besides Brock Lesnar or Jon Jones and that's the truth.

Why they are trying to make nate a co-main makes no sense to me other than co-main on the conor card which is what the UFC should be doing but money is probably the issue.

Best part:
"We have a guy that works here that loves the Diaz Brothers ... this is his problem"

 

[ShakaSway]

If I were to take a wild stab at the dark. Maybe DC vs Shogun. Or maybe Gus vs someone for interim. Most likely not, but thats my guess

 

[OCMikey]

Cyborg vs Nunez..or DC seemed like he was hinting towards possibly fighting soon. He might take the Gus fight before fighting Brock.

 

[1031]

it'll be punchy

 

[Juanandonly]

They will move Nate and Dustin’s flight up to main event and somehow create a retarded intern belt at the same time.

 

[Dick Niaz]

When can Nick return? I know GSP wasn’t interested in a rematch with so few fights left in his career, but that would make some coin.

Brendan Scuab speculating Jon Jones, no one else bigger than Nate Diaz who's got potential to fight in Nov

Jon Jones would he huge.

Unlikely, but huge

 

[Papi Chingon]

Absolutely. If they are planning on Nate/Dustin being the co-main, they would have to do a title fight in the main event.

Unless they are just trying to sell nate, but not pay him what hes worth.

 

[FrankieNYC]

Dana said GSP is being looked at for UFC 231 in Canada
Makes sense, so WTF main events MSG?

we need answers
