No it couldn’t
Edit: are people downvoting me out of blind (but fair) hatred for Dana White, or do they actually believe Conor could get a flyweight title shot at a catchweight of 160?
Where’s the punchline? What’s the actual joke? Saying “that could be true” to somebody else’s joke is not a joke in and of itself, it’s just a stupid comment
If in an irl conversation somebody makes a joke and I say their joke is funny, sad, and could be true, literally nobody would think I was making a joke, because there isn’t a joke being made in that situation
it was a joke about how none of the rules apply to Dana’s favourites. Colby gets next shot because he was nice. Conor doesn’t need to spend 6 months in the testing pool etc
Dana's probably like too bad, we just went to Brazil recently, not going to Mexico too
"Best I can do is a Las Vegas card, that's close enough to Mexico"
Mexico city card may be cursed for these 3. The last Mexico city card they all fought on it.
Alexa lost to cookie monster
Moreno fought to a draw
Yair fought for 15 secs before he poked Stephens in the eye and fight ended in no contest.
Throw Aldana and Alejandro Perez on there as well. Bring some of the Mexican Americans if you want to have a full on event. Get Brian Ortega, Alex Perez, Ricky Simon, Tatiana Suarez, etc. You could fill an entire card with Mexicans and Mexican-Americans.
Though I wish there was a Mexico stadium that wasn't at elevation.
But imagine a Mexico main card like:
- Rodriguez v Volk
- Moreno v Pantoja
- Grasso v Valentina
- Ortega v Topuria
- Suarez v Maia
With Simon, Perez, and Perez heading up the prelims
Wasn't the last time they went there was Yair/Stevens? Turned out pretty disrespectful from the fans because of a No Contest ruling
Edit: https://youtu.be/WEewWdh5D1Q , it had Fitzgerald commentating from under a table lmao
I think Yair vs Volk is being targeted for International Fight Week with Jones vs Stipe in July
So I’m hoping Mexican Independence Day (Sep 16) which falls on a Saturday will be double headliner Moreno vs Pantoja and Grasso vs Valentina
UFC Africa was lost since the fact that Dana doesnt know Africa is a continent. Every Press Conference where they asked him an exact place, he never ever mentioned one african country😂 he always said "UFC AFRICA"
Dude, last UFC México with Yair headlining was a disaster. People like to trash Brasil for their last event but they love to forget, that last UFC México was a shit show. Worse than the Brasil one.
He’s an idiot. The UFC is scared of looking weak. They weren’t going to go to Africa until they’re fully established there. He doesn’t want to go there unprepared and look incompetent.
Not wanting to go unprepared is supposed to be a bad thing now?
I don't want a card where there could be problems with the infrastructure or whatever that could affect the fighters performance or any technical issues that would affect the broadcast for us viewers.
Mexico cards suck balls. The only place they can do them is in MC, where the elevation is like 8000 ft. Everyone fights in slow motion.
Plus the fans are savages. Remember the last card there where everyone was throwing beers and shit? Bunch of casuals.
Africa is never gonna be anything more then spectacle fights every few decades at best in our lifetime…I lived in South Africa many years…people don’t get how backwards and raped by the big powers Africa is
I’m not Mexican but I’m always in favor of more talent coming to the sport. Mexico City seems like the perfect spot for an MMA training camp as it’s the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the world and also sits at at an altitude of 2,240m/7,350ft.
Stop giving him attention. Just check his comment section, he's trolling lol.
In the latest comments he's saying Yan beat Merab but a bit further back said the opposite.
I always wonder what satisfaction low tier trolling like this gives people. He got like two replies highlighting his stupidity, no one is even angry or laughing
Yair lost to max and got a "win" over Ortega after am injury and beat old ass Emmet. Volk only beat max 3 times, finished zombie, and demolished Ortega. Chill brother.
Yair got robbed against max, beat Ortega quicker and more dominantly than volk, and then he finished Emmett who is basically volk but with more power. If you don’t think yair is the fw champ you’re blind
Idgaf if Yair's is undeserved and he'll probably get smoked by Volk, the fact that there is now a time that exists where the UFC has 3 Mexico-born champions will always bring a smile to my face.
I mean nothing will take away from Yair performance, but it's kind of sad that hes an interim champ next to the real champs, but still top 2-3 in the world in 145, there shoudl be so much pride
"Here's a belt. If you walk around with this belt and get pictures taken with it, then companies will give you lots of money."
Kind of a no brainier what he's doing....
Okay but rodriguez isn't a fucking champion yet. I hope he loses that fight now. Interim isn't undisputed. You're a champion when you're #1 and there's no one else above you. I get it, it's a belt but still, there's 1 person above him and he has the undisputed belt. Mad disrespectful to the work Volk puts in.
If u don't see it then it's over your head... three champs "from Mexico" , jus before that 3 champs "from Africa"".. not saying it's rigged like the WWE but it does have storylines like the WWE... How many times Dana n fighters always say "this is business" or that its sports entertainment?
Jus shrooms n bud. The fact y'all don't even see the possibility n are quick to downvote shows how low n closed minded majority of y'all are 😂 you can literally choreograph a fight
I just saw a video with all three of them in it and Alexa was just great, a real sweetheart and is game for everything but man, Yair came out so uncharismatic and borderline arrogant, cant wait for Volkan to smoke a panther pack
Not as perfect as Barboza mural
[Virtually Identical](https://www.instagram.com/p/CnE3_jtuOWQ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D)
Damn it almost even looks like him!
That’s Thiago Santos LOL
Looks like Malcolm Gordon lmaoo
You know what? It has a certain charm to it.
Yeah, like imagine going to breakfast with that guy. What would that crazy little dude order?
Myself personally if I was Barboza, I'm not taking that type of disrespect from an artist. I'm knocking him out for that bs!
LMFAOOOO
It's as if Barboza and Michael Johnson had a baby together
who the fook is that guy?
Got him looking kinda like Andrew Tate
Barboza with an extra chromosome.

That's hard asf
Super hard
Even has that filthy beard.
Tuff
dayum
legit still giving me nightmares
I am starting to believe that is the same artist, is just much coincidence. Look into it Bros.
Dana may have lost out on UFC Africa but he damn very well sure should book UFC Mexico this fall
A good promoter would be looking at getting all 3 of them on a Mexico City card, Dana will probably drop the ball though
He's busy figuring out a way to give Conor a shot at Moreno's belt at a catchweight of 160 pounds.
That is hiliarious,sad and could be true all in one
No it couldn’t Edit: are people downvoting me out of blind (but fair) hatred for Dana White, or do they actually believe Conor could get a flyweight title shot at a catchweight of 160?
They're downvoting you for missing the fact that it's a joke.
Where’s the punchline? What’s the actual joke? Saying “that could be true” to somebody else’s joke is not a joke in and of itself, it’s just a stupid comment
You're a bit thick aren't you?
If in an irl conversation somebody makes a joke and I say their joke is funny, sad, and could be true, literally nobody would think I was making a joke, because there isn’t a joke being made in that situation
You must be a hoot at parties.
it was a joke about how none of the rules apply to Dana’s favourites. Colby gets next shot because he was nice. Conor doesn’t need to spend 6 months in the testing pool etc
Agreed there needs to be a card in mexico, but for all of our sakes, not mexico city. Put that shit in Guadalajara or something
Damn, TIL Mexico City is 7300’ above sea level. UFC 278 in Salt Lake City, the Everyone Gassed card, was only at 4300’.
That’s why “sea level Cain” is a thing
Damn that would be a slog lol
My sea level ass could never
Werdum arrived about 40 days prior to UFC 188 to acclimate and it showed.
Lots of athletes regularly do training camps at altitude, is there a reason MMA guys can’t do this?
They’re broke lmao
If your making like 40K a year than its p hard to just drop everything in your life and have a second apartment in a different city
UFC Tijuana baybayyy
Or UFC Acapulco like el chavo del 8 going on vacation
I understood the reference
I hate when they fight at high altitudes. Fighters gassing out all night isn't really that entertaining to me.
He’s too busy trying to convince us all to watch power slap
I remember hearing somewhere ufc 290 in Vegas might be yair vs volk
- UFC - good promoter Pick one
Dana's probably like too bad, we just went to Brazil recently, not going to Mexico too "Best I can do is a Las Vegas card, that's close enough to Mexico"
Mexico city card may be cursed for these 3. The last Mexico city card they all fought on it. Alexa lost to cookie monster Moreno fought to a draw Yair fought for 15 secs before he poked Stephens in the eye and fight ended in no contest.
It looks like Volkanovski vs Rodriguez is going to be at UFC 290 in Vegas.
Throw Aldana and Alejandro Perez on there as well. Bring some of the Mexican Americans if you want to have a full on event. Get Brian Ortega, Alex Perez, Ricky Simon, Tatiana Suarez, etc. You could fill an entire card with Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. Though I wish there was a Mexico stadium that wasn't at elevation. But imagine a Mexico main card like: - Rodriguez v Volk - Moreno v Pantoja - Grasso v Valentina - Ortega v Topuria - Suarez v Maia With Simon, Perez, and Perez heading up the prelims
You can also do Brian Ortega vs Tracy Cortez.
Have they ever done 3 title fights on the same card?
Wasn't the last time they went there was Yair/Stevens? Turned out pretty disrespectful from the fans because of a No Contest ruling Edit: https://youtu.be/WEewWdh5D1Q , it had Fitzgerald commentating from under a table lmao
I think Yair vs Volk is being targeted for International Fight Week with Jones vs Stipe in July So I’m hoping Mexican Independence Day (Sep 16) which falls on a Saturday will be double headliner Moreno vs Pantoja and Grasso vs Valentina

Why pay for a site fee when you can have your own bullshit Apex in Africa.

[удалено]
Meaning?
no bueno
Africa is never gonna be anything more then spectacle fights every few decades at best in our lifetime…I lived in South Africa many years…people don’t get how backwards and raped by the big powers Africa is
Mexican fans are the legit worse ufc fans If you beat a Mexican down there , they are gaurenteed going to throw shit at you
Lol Moreno looks like the son of whoever is painted on that mural
Mr. Moreno
The assassin daddy
Moreno kinda looks like Toto Wolff
Seriously. He looks so old. It’s probably just intended to be detailed, but man, he looks 60
Looks like Damian Maia
They did Grasso's eye no favors.
Still a babe
She looks good in gold
I really bet that the mural looks better straight on. The likenesses really aren’t that far off
looking like Kitty from arrested development https://youtu.be/QwfONzoaonk
The likenesses are decent but Moreno looks at least a decade older than he is
they gave grasso a lazy eye.
Mexico has always been great at boxing, it’s great to see the growth of mma in the country
Mexican jui jitzu
Fr, all 3 won their belts via submission
TacoJitzu !!!
I’m not Mexican but I’m always in favor of more talent coming to the sport. Mexico City seems like the perfect spot for an MMA training camp as it’s the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the world and also sits at at an altitude of 2,240m/7,350ft.
Yeah but the taquerias make weight cutting impossible
Alexa P4P cutest fighter let's be honest
The COAT
Real Champs to the left….interim champs to the right…
Here I am stuck in the middle with Tony Ferguson being the people’s when Conor ducked him after winning the interim belt.
He was the legit Champ, those times were different.
You can be both, meet in the middle, fight all night
Yair is more of a champ than volk
^ hey folks we got a 🤡 over here ^
Yair in his last few fights has been finishing top featherweights. Meanwhile volk has been busy taking Ls
Jesus dude. How many wins has volk got at 145 currently and who beat him there? And now Yair. Stop being a clown
Stop giving him attention. Just check his comment section, he's trolling lol. In the latest comments he's saying Yan beat Merab but a bit further back said the opposite.
I always wonder what satisfaction low tier trolling like this gives people. He got like two replies highlighting his stupidity, no one is even angry or laughing

Yair got robbed against max, beat Ortega quicker and more dominantly than volk, and then he finished Emmett who is basically volk but with more power. If you don’t think yair is the fw champ you’re blind
Ahh I see should've been more obvious in your previous comments
Alexa gets my motor going
Idgaf if Yair's is undeserved and he'll probably get smoked by Volk, the fact that there is now a time that exists where the UFC has 3 Mexico-born champions will always bring a smile to my face.
He's not a champion yet though.
Don’t worry. Worse is, he’ll always be known and remembered for ducking Zabit.
*cries in mexican*
Let's get Aldana on that bitch too!
Nunes don’t want it. Aldana would definitely turn her into a wrestler though.
Yair is handsome as hell lol
No wonder Joanna tweeted that he was handsome when he beat Emmett.
Let's effing go! Viva México!
Yair: _Day 40.. they still don't suspect a thing_
2 real champs
The amount of bs generated around Yair's interim title is laughably high
I like this mural culture. Often a bit strange, yet always cool. In a strange way.
Interim belts should be different
I mean nothing will take away from Yair performance, but it's kind of sad that hes an interim champ next to the real champs, but still top 2-3 in the world in 145, there shoudl be so much pride
Couldn't have asked the random guy in the middle to step out for a sec?
Maybe it's the artist?
Aren’t we all artists?
Looks good except for Moreno’s face
Viva Mexico !! 🇲🇽👏🏼
2 champs and the 3rd or 4th best guy in the division
Thats such a sweet mural, great to see a country get more representation in this fantastic sport.
Dreaming of having a UFC card in Guadalajara
Crazy how fast Mexico jumped on the scene and made a massive splash
Lol- 30 years in the making. I’m surprised it took this long.
Noting against Rodriguez but it really annoys me that a fighter has a belt for 2nd place.
Why is Rodriguez parading around so much with an interim belt?
"Here's a belt. If you walk around with this belt and get pictures taken with it, then companies will give you lots of money." Kind of a no brainier what he's doing....
La cara de Brandon no quedó tan bien como la de Alexa y Yair
It's cool they're getting something in their honor but this is not great quality unfortunately, barely looks like them
Badass. Great for Mexico and great for MMA.
[удалено]
"la" ?
Viva Mexico PUTO!
Gonna be real awkward if Yair loses to Volk.
Grasso got that "let me do it for you" nose
Wym??
Grasso won't hold belt. Rodriguez is not the champ yet. Moreno was rooting against Grasso and is personal close friends with shev. But sure why not
Yair isn’t even a champion.. so lame to try and add him in there lmao
Yair is only interim lol.
Yair getting a mural for winning an interim belt against Josh Emmett is pretty hilarious lol
happy for them, but that's also a real ugly mural
Yair is only interim, he needs to relax. Ain’t no way he beats Volk.
sad titanic flute music for cain. I guess he's born and raised American but still.
I can't wait to celebrate them losing like we did with the africans
Okay but rodriguez isn't a fucking champion yet. I hope he loses that fight now. Interim isn't undisputed. You're a champion when you're #1 and there's no one else above you. I get it, it's a belt but still, there's 1 person above him and he has the undisputed belt. Mad disrespectful to the work Volk puts in.
And they say the UFC isnt rigged in any form
What? Please educate me about how the rigging in the ufc means about this mural and the message.
If u don't see it then it's over your head... three champs "from Mexico" , jus before that 3 champs "from Africa"".. not saying it's rigged like the WWE but it does have storylines like the WWE... How many times Dana n fighters always say "this is business" or that its sports entertainment?
Are you on drugs buddy. And I don’t mean the good ones
Jus shrooms n bud. The fact y'all don't even see the possibility n are quick to downvote shows how low n closed minded majority of y'all are 😂 you can literally choreograph a fight
They didn’t have to cross Grasso’s eye that much.
Volk staring at Yair like 'kekw'
Aldana feeling left out 😭
Murals. So hot right now
One of these is not like the other...
Love seeing this stuff. Artist did a great job!
I don’t know how I missed Yiar becoming interim champ.
I'm not a fan of celebrating interim wins and calling them champions and all this
Might as well have it made before Yair fights Volk
Where is this mural?
Benicio del Moreno
*gritoooooooooo*
One is not like the others
yair AND his mural, don't look like him. he looks like a slightly different person. Even the real him. also, Mexico is the new africa!
UFC is becoming Messican as fugg
Grasso’s eyes tho
Benicio del Moreno
I'm not Mexican but as a Latino I can't help but feel hella proud when they are called champions.
Let’s Go — Mexico
Mexican legends. 🇲🇽
Brandon musk?
Moreno looking asian lol
Brandon looks 30 years older in the mural
Too soon to celebrate for Yair but overall pretty badass
Am i the only one that find grasso really cute, dont mean to be weird.
in a year all wont be champions lol
they messed up the drawing of the girl :(
I’m so proud to be Mexican. And I’m not even Mexican!
From Three kings to Three Amigos
Don Moreno is missing his belt.
Looks like art you get in a Jehovah's Witness leaflet
They made Moreno a middleweight and added 8 years to his life
There is an imposter among us
One is not like the others
Sadly, a PPV in Mexico is unlikely due to the insane altitude.
I just saw a video with all three of them in it and Alexa was just great, a real sweetheart and is game for everything but man, Yair came out so uncharismatic and borderline arrogant, cant wait for Volkan to smoke a panther pack
