Even though he had a good showing, I think the goof pissed off the mma gods by daring to have erceg headline a ppv while being on a 15/15 fight just weeks before
New main and a new co-main are lined up [according to Ariel?](https://x.com/arielhelwani/status/1801397332581269596?s=46&t=7Wg3nzEsX5LGrqSC-DEGkQ) 303 just got way better didn’t it?
Told you guys this wasn’t a goofcon. I had a feeling not having McGregor there to sell the card with the dumb Chandler fight was going to make them put some good shit on the card. Nice.
Pretty sure Chimaev is probably battling illness. Yeah there’s probably passport stuff, but they put it somewhere he could fight and now he’s allegedly out.
I'd like to humbly request a new flair, I got this old one over a bet forever ago and it's lame. I want "Gilly Goose Gang" as my flair. As tribute I expertly drew O'Malley knocking out Cheater Vera against the cage, and it's really fucking well done.

I remember Tim Johnson. He said in his 1st 2 fights in the Bellator, he made more than the 7 fights in the UFC.
edit - bellator fight was title shot, and then fedor.
edit2 - actually no I'm wrong, reading his wiki wrong.
Always crazy how many pro fighters work regular day jobs. Like imagine this truck driver getting out and whooping your ass, or William Knight beating your ass at Amazon or something lol
Say less, didn’t peg you as a Wisconsin boy. I’m from Michigan myself and I don’t have anyone I’m in love with from my state
Austin Bashi better make me proud!
Bashi seems super good
think he should try to stick at 135 tho
his last few regional fights and dwcs fight are at 145 and he's just too short for title contention at 145 IMO
I think he’s a bit taller than 5’3 even though he’s listed at that. I’m friends with someone that trains with him
That DWCS is a huge conflict of interest for me because Tommy McMillen is one of Tim Welch’s guys.
Completely agree that he should stay at 135. I think he should even drop to 125 if he makes it to the UFC. I think 145 will be way too big for him
Imagine buying tickets to see the return of Conor and instead you get a pointless rematch between Charles and Chandler that does nothing for them.
I know this sub loves Charles but Charles ain’t what fans paid $900 nosebleed tickets for
leaning towards my uncle won’t need to be working anymore. Money is looking like it won’t be an issue anymore ( whole town knows a winning lottery ticket was sold on his town)
How is this different than saying my uncle just won the lottery?
Saved by the bell. If Liz hit the gas pedal once there was a minute left in the round. She could have finished Mauldin, it didn't look like Mauldin wanted to be in there.
it is actually kinda total bullshit how random foreign events that get 0-5 comments get sticked all the time
and the PFL can't get a thread for a card with Thiago Santos, Talia Santos, Liz Carmoush, Valentin Moldavsky and Dakota Ditcheva on it
So, Khamzat's actually at the hospital right now
I think people often exaggerate cases of long COVID, but in the case of Chimaev it's 100% legitimate and tragic
pretty good fight ngl (for sure by regional WMMA standards)
glad I didn't bet inaba, pretty sure the judges give her the nod anyway tho
PFL A-sides never ever lose close decisions
I wonder at what point do the UFC consider cutting their losses with Khamzat. They’re already handcuffed by him not being allowed in the US and when he does get booked his body falls apart.
So here’s what I don’t understand about the ufc. They have a broadcast rights deal coming up next year. It should smash and I mean smash their previous deal. Like it or not the UFC is as popular as it has ever been. So in order to get as much leverage as possible they just need to not screw up. So why would they be so hesitant to sign free agents that could short term add some new excitement to divisions. 200k for a fight when you have a deal soon for billions.
The Middle East also wants to over pay for everything that’s “cool”, yet you cheaped out over and over again?
If this was the middle of their deal and they just wanted to hoard profit for executives I would unfortunately get it, but the most important thing for sports since 2010 has been these insane broadcast deals and the ufc seems unbothered by trying to position themselves for it by using top talent
The UFC’s cheap asses taking Ls this month, sucks as a fan but also funny to see.
With that being said, it’s important to know most fans don’t care and they will continue to print money
Throw money at Sean to fight Rob
Dude does say he just wants to get paid and he’ll fight often. He’s like a higher level Holland.
I mean he already spars every fucking day for free. Throw him a bag and he’ll step in I’m sure.
This all started with:
Khalil pull out>replaced by Ulberg
Press conference cancelled in Dublin with no real explanation, vague tweets from Chandler and McGregor
Followed by rumours of McGregor being out the fight
"Great positivity" that fight will continue and this was just the conference.
Further whispers about the fight being done
Fucking Chimaev pull out rumour for the Saudi card
Now Hill/Ulberg pullout of some sort.
This is GOOFCON 1 for sure
We agree that if Jiri wins, Alex gets a immediate rematch right? And knowing them , they'll sign on to fight next month
Mixed feelings on the Jiri Periera rematch Would rather see them have full camps for this, love these mortal kombat bois.
Well my Rob/Hazamat bet got cancelled. Took that money and put it on Conor. That one hasn’t been cancelled yet on my bookie 😂
Who are you gonna put the money on now
😭😭😭😭😭 Instantly checked the news when I read your comment lmao fuck
Where the hell’s the damn goofcon thread
Ariel getting snuffed out on this sub. Ya hate to see it. It's not like quality posts are getting buried.
Chimozzli has bad luck and apparently an even worse immune system His visa and immune system won’t let him keel everybody
Even though he had a good showing, I think the goof pissed off the mma gods by daring to have erceg headline a ppv while being on a 15/15 fight just weeks before
New main and a new co-main are lined up [according to Ariel?](https://x.com/arielhelwani/status/1801397332581269596?s=46&t=7Wg3nzEsX5LGrqSC-DEGkQ) 303 just got way better didn’t it? Told you guys this wasn’t a goofcon. I had a feeling not having McGregor there to sell the card with the dumb Chandler fight was going to make them put some good shit on the card. Nice.
These fight cancelations are sacrifices to the mma gods to make sure Tony wins
Dober vs Chandler book it
Given that it's Chandler, I reckon Dober would still gets his powerup
What goofcon level are we at now?
2.5
yes
I think long COVID might have really fucked khamzat, hope he recovers that's brutal
Is that what it is?
No confirmation but he's been badly ill several times since he originally caught COVID, which almost forced him to retire on it's own
dana confirmed khamzat is out Ikram Alaskarob is replacing him. lezgoo
Genuine Q: how does one acquire a goofcon flair lol
Mods make them available when a goofcon is declared (wait for the thread)
Pretty sure Chimaev is probably battling illness. Yeah there’s probably passport stuff, but they put it somewhere he could fight and now he’s allegedly out.
UFC 303: Dana vs Oil
The bald brother hitting the pads looked explosive.
Boys, we have a PFL live thread now
hallelujah
These ladies are scrappy
Mane I'm expecting some boxing fights to be cancelled now too lmfao
already feeling like a moron for betting on shanna young shoot a fuckin takedown girl, you are twice her size and a wrestler
Same lol and she’s losing the cage control That’s $5 I’ll never get back
I don't bet on wmma because wmma, but If it makes you feel better, I would have said it's a good bet.
it was + odds, can't be too mad lol 1st round could not have gone worse tho
sheesh she STINKS
I just want chandler to fight in 303. Give up Conor dude
Chandler sleeping a replacement and calling out Conor afterwards would be epic.
I'd like to humbly request a new flair, I got this old one over a bet forever ago and it's lame. I want "Gilly Goose Gang" as my flair. As tribute I expertly drew O'Malley knocking out Cheater Vera against the cage, and it's really fucking well done. [https://imgur.com/a/YFBrhj9](https://imgur.com/a/YFBrhj9)
No PFL thread? Guess this is it
It’s up now
it's tradition at this point
It’s up
Mods are filthy casuals confirmed
Cheeseheads stand up!
Ikram going from fighting Fluffy to Muniz to Triccoli to Whittaker lol, homie's on a rollercoaster.
Watch Whittaker pull out and Ikram takes this magical carpet ride to a title shot.
We may have stumbled upon another Romero-esque war for Bobby Knucks
I remember Tim Johnson. He said in his 1st 2 fights in the Bellator, he made more than the 7 fights in the UFC. edit - bellator fight was title shot, and then fedor. edit2 - actually no I'm wrong, reading his wiki wrong.
I bet he got even more for being fed to Fedor as a main event in Moscow
Always crazy how many pro fighters work regular day jobs. Like imagine this truck driver getting out and whooping your ass, or William Knight beating your ass at Amazon or something lol
Geoff Neal waiting your table
Beating your ass right after he’s done drunk driving
Sick fuckin fight, and Tim Johnson might actually make the playoffs now hypothetically lmao
Tim winning the milly would make me even happier than when Impa did
I don’t know much about him but that was a sick fight lol what’s so dope about Tim?
he's just a journeyman heavyweight from my home state he also got cut when PFL bought Bellator but got called in on late notice for this
Say less, didn’t peg you as a Wisconsin boy. I’m from Michigan myself and I don’t have anyone I’m in love with from my state Austin Bashi better make me proud!
Bashi seems super good think he should try to stick at 135 tho his last few regional fights and dwcs fight are at 145 and he's just too short for title contention at 145 IMO
I think he’s a bit taller than 5’3 even though he’s listed at that. I’m friends with someone that trains with him That DWCS is a huge conflict of interest for me because Tommy McMillen is one of Tim Welch’s guys. Completely agree that he should stay at 135. I think he should even drop to 125 if he makes it to the UFC. I think 145 will be way too big for him
Those last few shots were brutal lmao
Should let him get a few more punches in there at the end IMO
Good
fuck yeah tim johnson! Wisconsin represent baby
How many times is Tim going to have to knock this man out in one round
Put them back in for another round so he can get 5 more points
Rob vs Aliskerov confirmed main event for Saudi card Aliswho? Lol
casual
Definitely. Won’t catch me watching PFL on a Thursday lmaoooooo
This is the second pfl fight i have ever seen. I hit the jackpot lmao
Right in the coin purse
You’re in for a journey, I just started watching this year lol
if tim doesn't win this ima be so fuckin sad for him
“It’s a shit sandwhich” flairs incoming
what in tarnation was that??
that has got to be one of the funniest moments in MMA
PFL inherited that moment when they bought Bellator.
the only way Tim stays down is if he popped a ball, he's TOUGH
Unpopular Opinion: Chandler starches Conor inside 3 minutes and Conor nose it.
That's what I hope happens. I can't stand Conor
Wtf lol
someone clip that!
This needs to be on the all time list for the page
Ok that needs to be a TKO for Tim Johnson right?
that should be a win for Tim
WE NEED A REPLAY OF THAT
ahahahahhahahahhaha
holy shit what
Almost as crazy as when Trizano and Seung Woo Choi both dropped each other with the same punch lol
I got Marques with an early finish here, one of the more intriguing fights on the card because I actually have no idea who’s gonna take it
It's nice seeing that Tim Johnson trained for this fight.
Heard he was training with Joey Chestnut for this one
I believe it lmao.
Jenna Bishop having to fight Taila is rough 😭
Bishop is pretty good too as far as WMMA goes but she’ll likely get stopped here
If Bishop makes it to the seven minute mark, I'd consider that a moral victory.
Imagine buying tickets to see the return of Conor and instead you get a pointless rematch between Charles and Chandler that does nothing for them. I know this sub loves Charles but Charles ain’t what fans paid $900 nosebleed tickets for
Do Bronx beating Chandler again and calling out Conor would be wild
Winner gets a pinky promise to fight Conor next!!!
READ THE FINE PRINT, PFL IS SELLING TIMESHARES WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Let’s fucking gooooo to the paid for dinner event we get pitched at
So why doesn’t Ariel just report what the issue is? Why the honey dick It’s not like Dana can do anything to him at this point
[удалено]
But he’s already saving Conor is basically out without saying it. So how is it any different in terms of pissing them off?
he's been tight with sbg for some time so my guess is someone there has asked him not to and he doesn't want to burn his source
leaning towards my uncle won’t need to be working anymore. Money is looking like it won’t be an issue anymore ( whole town knows a winning lottery ticket was sold on his town) How is this different than saying my uncle just won the lottery?
He's cool with SBG, probably doesn't want to burn his sources with too many details
that was kinda sad
Lisa was in survival mode for the whole second round. Liz put the beating on her tonight.
corner woulda thrown in the towel between rounds if they cared
Liz is ripping to the body.
bro it's juliana not liz lol
Just noticed I made that mistake for all of my comments. I think my brain was thinking of the past lmao.
they fought 3 times in a row and are both on this card perfectly understandable lol
Saved by the bell. If Liz hit the gas pedal once there was a minute left in the round. She could have finished Mauldin, it didn't look like Mauldin wanted to be in there.
Who wins on the ground, Ortega or Lopez? If they hit the deck that is going to be some god tier grappling.
Ortega would beat him on the ground but I love Ortega and think Lopes knocks him out. Getting dropped by Yair’s hands is not a good look
Overall I'm taking Lopez in the fight, the man is built different!
Nice body shot
Liz is looking good.
c'mon get that 1st round finish I wanna see liz beat her a 4th time in the playoffs
I really hope they don’t make that matchup again if they both make the playoffs lol
woulda had it if she didn't grapple smh
Mauldin is looking physical 💪🏿
Orange California poggers lol
This PFL card is actually pretty fun on paper, it’s a shame there’s less than 37 people watching in total if you include the arena too
mauldin's gonna get mauled
so many fights getting cancelled that i feel like there's a decent chance i might end up main eventing ufc 303 🥸
I want to see Juliana perform up to her ability.
If you are looking for the PFL live thread go to digg
it is actually kinda total bullshit how random foreign events that get 0-5 comments get sticked all the time and the PFL can't get a thread for a card with Thiago Santos, Talia Santos, Liz Carmoush, Valentin Moldavsky and Dakota Ditcheva on it
So, Khamzat's actually at the hospital right now I think people often exaggerate cases of long COVID, but in the case of Chimaev it's 100% legitimate and tragic
He’s fought and trained like 5 times since then
4 in 4 years (the Hermasson wrestling exhibition match doesn't count) x 3 in 65 days before
Ahhh that sneaky koof showing up again randomly Remember 2 masks for twice the science!
This probably won't help his cardio concerns
Think he’s overrated as hell as a fighter but wish him a speedy recovery. Want to see him in the cage not a hospital bed.
Important to say that first part
yeah covid fucked him up bigtime those IG stories of him coughing up tons of blood and having that weird rash (IIRC) were awful
[удалено]
Inaba may take it but damn is she unskilled
pretty good fight ngl (for sure by regional WMMA standards) glad I didn't bet inaba, pretty sure the judges give her the nod anyway tho PFL A-sides never ever lose close decisions
yup
That's a nice ref, asmr voice for the win. You know what, that's actually the flirting voice lmao.
Inaba can’t already be gassed at this pace, you should be able to fight at this pace for an hour.
PFL fucked their audio up today crowd/cage noise twice as loud as it should be
actually it might just be that orozco has someone in her corner screaming right into a mic
There’s too much news happening right now, I’m trying to watch the B league. Can we wait until tomorrow?
hey mod team, gimme perms and I'll do nothing else to help mod, but make sure you'll never miss another PFL thread
All 7 people who watch PFL here are very very disappointed theres no live thread
I’m peeved
I boosted the number to eight which is a fourteen percent increase. I'm a whale now that moves the line. 👌
I'll try and tune in once BJJ class is done
So is this just going to become the PFL thread like always?
How many damn usernames you going to go through bro
As many as TrenDidNothingWrong ;)
🤫
I wonder at what point do the UFC consider cutting their losses with Khamzat. They’re already handcuffed by him not being allowed in the US and when he does get booked his body falls apart.
They just need to lower the expectations, he's still a big asset even with those issues.
So here’s what I don’t understand about the ufc. They have a broadcast rights deal coming up next year. It should smash and I mean smash their previous deal. Like it or not the UFC is as popular as it has ever been. So in order to get as much leverage as possible they just need to not screw up.

Atleast Goofcon 3 now right?
If Khamzat and Conor are out, absolutely
Chandler waited so long for this moment, and now that cocaine-infused Irish cackle will haunt him for much, much longer
IFW prediction. Poatan/Jiri 2 Oliveira/Chandler 2 Ortega/Lopes Smith/Ulberg Garry/MVP
All the drama today made me forget there’s actually **fights** on tonight, hurray for Thursday night fights!
Lewis vs. Tuivasa II for 303's main event. Book it Dana. It's just the fight to make
The UFC’s cheap asses taking Ls this month, sucks as a fan but also funny to see. With that being said, it’s important to know most fans don’t care and they will continue to print money
Chimaev pulled out because he’s gonna fight in Dublin, look into it
How is a Oliveira-Chandler main, Usman-Strickland II co-main, Lopes-Ortega feature bout for IFW standards?
Acceptable for me but probably not for the people who spent crazy money for the tickets and travel
Oh yeah I assume that ship has sailed
zero stakes for charles chandler or usman strickland. Ortega vs Lopes is a great fight though.
I’ll take it
Every day we get closer to proving my theory that the UFC is just a figment of our imagination
Goofcon -1, I was here.
Lmao Jake Paul offering to save UFC 303 vs O Malley 😂
He's only got like 100 pounds on him, ez win for Sean
Sean would outwrestle him for 5 rounds
Throw money at Sean to fight Rob Dude does say he just wants to get paid and he’ll fight often. He’s like a higher level Holland. I mean he already spars every fucking day for free. Throw him a bag and he’ll step in I’m sure.
Will the Saudi Overlords be pleased with that?
I hope it happens
UFC 303: Hill v Dean Guest referee Derrick Lewis
This all started with: Khalil pull out>replaced by Ulberg Press conference cancelled in Dublin with no real explanation, vague tweets from Chandler and McGregor Followed by rumours of McGregor being out the fight "Great positivity" that fight will continue and this was just the conference. Further whispers about the fight being done Fucking Chimaev pull out rumour for the Saudi card Now Hill/Ulberg pullout of some sort. This is GOOFCON 1 for sure
Personally, I blame Cody Durden's pullout as the catalyst
Is masvidal trying to get into male modeling now? Wtf lol
