What a stupid fight. UFC 230 is the most poorly planned event ever.

Would absolutely love it if one of them pulled out at the last minute making Nate/Dustin the main event...
Dana would probably cancel it out of spite!

Im rooting for him!

One time I predicted that toehold was a meth-head and would lose his shit and leave the board.

What a stupid fight. UFC 230 is the most poorly planned event ever. So Derrick Lewis is suspended for a hard bout after UFC 229. Supposedly no contact until 10/28 and no competition till ~11/6..............after UFC 230. The last time the UFC did this was Bisping being choked out by GSP, then quickly
getting destroyed in China (while a suspension should still have been in effect ) And Derrick said post fight he was not ready for a championship bout..............sure did not look like he could go 5 rounds.
This will be UGLY.

Good info doc! This won't go 5 or even 3 or 2! DC will make quick work of him or should... DC should take him down within seconds, talking Couture/Toney... Then that's it. Wishing for Lewis to catch him though

So did they give up on the Lesnar fight or does DC need a quick payday before then? Lewis will get mauled.

Otherwise the risk isn't worth the reward. Or....if DC is going to retire before 40, that probably gives him one more fight after 230. If Lesnar isn't an option, he can make big money against JJ. If Lesnar is available to fight, I don't think DC wants any piece of JJ.

I feel like blaming Volkov for this. Like Rockhold losing to Bisping.

Lewis said that he broke his ring finger on Ariel Helwani's podcast. He did eventually say that he had to get X-rays on Monday, and that it was all swollen and messed up. So not a confirmed break, but a confirmed baloney turn around for a guy who literally just said he wasn't ready for it.
I do love the Black Beast though.

They had to have backed up the Brinks truck to Lewis' house to get him to take this fight. Good for him for capitalizing on his fame right now.
That said, I think this is a fairly easy win for DC. As long as he doesn't get clipped, he should be able to manhandle Lewis.
I hope Lewis pulls it off though and ruins DC/Brock/UFC plans because it feels like they are doing this just to spite Nate/Dustin.

Yeah, I'm sure he is. DC turned down a rematch with Stipe to fight Lewis. DC is the one that hand picked this fight.

DC claims he is still retiring in March and the only fights that ineterest him are Brock, Stipe, and Bones.
But he takes a fight against Lewis and rejects a rematch with Stipe because he wants a longer training camp for Stipe.
I don't necessarily blame him, but I'll be surprised if he fights Bones or Stipe before retiring. Hate to say it, but I think he is ducking them.

UFC paid him top dollar.. To fight a guy who said he wasn't ready for it. Who would have thought the UFC would be scraping the bottom of barrel to assemble a New York card...

I don't blame DC for taking the fight. I just don't believe him when he says he wants to fight Stipe again and even more so that he wants to fight Bones again. My guess is he fights Brock and retires. Then claims he is the GOAT.

Is Brock coming back? Khabib is saying the WWE offered him to fake fight Brock in the WWE. But I guess Khabib could just be talking out of his ass
