@ParamPam1990 So Gasanov still signed but pulled out of this fight, maybe injury? So Vagaev will fight on this card and Gasanov’s debut will be at a later event I assume?
@Atvasco84 Do you think the Chopurov news is true? His posts on Instagram, that TikTok source, etc. seem to be hinting at it but I’ve seen some people on here claim that it’s fake news so idk what to believe. If he himself was talking about good news and was with the sports minister
@Atvasco84@MMA__Matchmaker “Good news to come” and is with the ministry of youth and sports. So maybe Baku/Abu Dhabi debut? Only other thing would be a Rizin/PFL or toehr big promotion signing but idk if I see that, seems maybe UFC might be on the table
@MMA__Matchmaker I feel like it’s a stepping stone, he didn’t sign with PFL, Rizin, etc. idk why the UFC didn’t pick him up at this point but I’m sure they will
@Atvasco84@MMA__Matchmaker Yeah the whole back In The cage in September is interesting. Idk know of PFL events or if anything’s been announced but that’s usually when UFC Paris is. Although, I don’t think it’s a hint and he most likely will go to PFL. Shame as he will be mismanaged. Better off with MVP tbh
@MMA__Matchmaker Well we know it’s not gonna be UFC. I’d bet it’s PFL, because MVP is in a limbo right now of when he next event will be, how many events, titles, etc.
@VampiricLegz Yeah fair, b ur maybe they didn’t know if it would be a success and since it was now seeing about keep Parnasse. But his manager does seem keen on trying to get the ufc to sign him, but again I think UFC won’t accept the $ demands.
@VampiricLegz I’m still hesitant on Namo as I feel if he wins but MVP does event 2 in December or early 2027, and want him back he’d take 40k+ over the 12/12 for contender contract
@FrontRowBrian I definitely think MVP if they can poach talent will stay, if they can’t and rely on the free agents/same big names I think there will be diminishing returns in viewers.
@FrontRowBrian I wonder if a second event could capture that same amount. Like I doubt Ronda fights again, will people really turn in at those waves for just Ngannou or Perry/ Diaz? Plus a lot of people were shitting on the fights after so how many people tuned in and watched and won’t again?
