    After pumping everyone up for a couple of weeks, the big announcement regarding Khabib by Dana is that there is no announcement, Khabib is not back, and basically nothing has changed.

    I think these guys are starting to steal Chael's "undefeated" gimmick.

    I can't believe we're gonna see Ben Askren get knocked the fuck out by a YouTube star. How fucking embarrassing for the sport of MMA...

    I think Askren will try and cover up for the first four or five rounds and let Paul wear himself out. After that they will both be too tired to have technique and anything can happen.

    Do Bronx turned down a short notice fight against Michael Chandler on the Usman card because it wasn't for the belt. I'm sure Dana will use this ammo to screw him out of a title shot now.

    UFC intrigued by Conor/Dustin III and if it happens, will make it for the title according to Brett Okamoto.

    Gaethje says he will leave UFC if Conor fights for the title. Also; looks like UFC is circling a matchup against Chandler for him.

    Nate Diaz looking for another cheque, making lots of noise.

    Edwards wants him, Diaz probably won't go for it.

    Chandler vs Ferguson close to being finalized per twitter reports for a UFC Fight Night main event on April 3.

    First full fan event since the Pandemic started.

    I don't expect any titles to change hands.

    With Costa out, Bob Whittaker's camp asked for a rematch with Adesanya. The UFC is trying to book Whittaker vs. Gastelum instead.

    Crazy how social media has changed from message boards and Instant Messengers to Twitter...

    Either Khabib is trolling or Dana sent in Lorenzo to seal the deal.

    Guess I was optimistic in hoping not to see those guys associated with the company anymore...

    Lorenzo has remained involved behind the scenes I believe. I remember reading something last year about how Dana set up a meeting between a fighter and Lorenzo to seal the deal on something because Lorenzo is way more mild-mannered with the fighter than Dana. I can't remember what damn fighter it was though...

    I think Conor met with him too when Dana and Conor went through their annual breakup/retirement last year.
