Cory Sandhagen weighs in on fighting on a card headlined by Conor McGregor x Max Holloway:
"That's gigantic. The amount of eyes that are gonna be on this fight... Do you think that there will be more eyes or less eyes on this one versus the White House card?
I think that [UFC 329] probably draws in more of a global crowd... I was pumped when they told me that that's what they were gonna do. I was super grateful."
Dana White reveals his goal for the UFC
"When I tell you that I want to be the dominant sport, I'm not talking about goofy other f*cking leagues like PFL and all this other shit."
"You want to dominate sport. So, the fact that there's the NFL... the fact that the Super Bowl is the biggest event of the year, you're like, 'No, no, no, no, no.' I never looked at all the other combat sports guys as my competitors.
"Do you want to dwarf the Super Bowl?"
"No. I want to dwarf f*cking soccer. The World Cup."
@WeezardMMA The third was 100% still prime Usman imo Leon showed without elevation affecting him he could beat him.
But my main point is Leon wasn’t a terrible fighter like he’s made out to be. Had a huge win streak defended his belt. Arguably beat prime Usman twice
😅 Sean O’Malley is thankful Ilia Topuria didn’t accept his callout to fight him after Topuria knocked out Charles Oliveira.

The idea is right here imo Ilia isn’t as competent on the back foot and he does get caught when guys actually commit to throwing on him
But Gaethje can’t defend jabs and reacts too heavy to feints. I could see an uppercut KO from Ilia
👀💥 Justin Gaethje says Ilia Topuria's last opponents made a mistake of fighting backwards and got caught.
Gaethje plans on going forward against Topuria.

@CFChkhan He is the best but that doesn’t take away from the fact his defence is still heavily flawed and he gets tagged when guys actually commit to exchanges
😳💥 Justin Gaethje did not hold back on how he feels about Ilia Topuria ahead of their UFC White House matchup.
“All that guy is, is a gimmick. He calls himself the king. He thinks he’s a God. What an annoying little bastard. I couldn’t imagine being in a room with him for 30 minutes listening to him talk about himself.
All I can say is this: I would leave him. That’s all I’m saying. No way I would put up with his sh*t.”

@luked1807 The thing with Movsar he’s so good at getting through tough fights. Even though it’s a running joke he only gets decisions he still gets them if you get me
