Nikita Krylov should fight Rountree on this card if Krylov is still alive

Hope Poirer isn’t fighting for a title against Islam, much rather Islam wait a month or two and fight a top contender. Not a fan of stupid underserved title fight, I want to see the best fight for the titles. Gaethje or the winner of Oliveria and Arman are way better fight and are fights I want to see

I would rather see Islam being active and fighting Poirier than waiting for Gaethje/Arman/Charles.
Having a win against Poirier will build up his legacy even more... Of course, I'd much prefer seeing Charles x Islam 2 again, but after that cut incident, I'm happy they booked Charles x Arman. It's a great fight !
On the other hand, Gaethje fighting Max for the BMF belt won't make him any closer for a title shot, but hey, that's a tremendous match-up and I'm eager to see it.
Let's see if Poirier can handle Islam (I don't think so), and then let the winner fight the one who wins from Charles x Arman.

I rather wait an extra month or two to get a fight I want, then get a fight I don’t want and wait 6 month extra for a good title fight, Khabib camp has never been active fighter it be dope if Islam beats the trend, but they’re still the trend, I think you can get either Gaetcje, Oliveria or Arman for 303 or 304 and way rather that
I’m sick and tired of people getting underserve title fight. Too many of the title fight recently have been underserved, Kinda killing my exitment for the UFC

Nah, my brudda Duck, it is what it is.
UFC is a business, so if their best (and most famous) fighters can fight more frequently, why not ? And let's not pretend saying that Dustin x Islam isn't a great fight...
It all started with that cut in Charles's last camp, unfortunately. If it didn't occur, we would have already seen Charles x Islam 2.
I know Dustin doesn't deserve this fight, and I reckon he'll probably get worked by Makachev, but it's still a popular fight.
If Makachev smashes Dustin, then he'll probably take the winner of Charles x Tsarukyan, so imagine how hyped it'll be for him coming into this fight after another dominant performance...
I'm all in for it !

My issue is since December these already been 2 underserve title fights being Colby and Chito, and in the next few month Adesanya and Erceg are getting title fight. You can also add Stipe to this number because Jon Jones is scared of Aspinal, that 4-5 underserved title fights from December 2023 to August 2024 which it too high.
Underserve title fights are killing my hype for title fight. I want to see the best fight the best. Poirer is washed

Sumudaerji vs. Van
Joshua Van, SUB, R3
lfg van. i think he mixes in the wrestling to get a late sub or decision win. sumudaerji's length and power may be problematic early but i think van will break him down over the course of three rounds, especially with the massive holes in sumudaerji's grappling

Poirier vs Islam or leon vs belal. Maybe both even
04.10.2024 | 9:04 AM ET
If they announce Poirier vs. Islam as the main event my bank account is about to be drained of hundreds of dollars. There's no way I'm missing that in person if that's the main event.

Almeida vs. Romanov
Jailton Almeida, DEC
Goddamn I hate this man. How do you have full mount on Derrick Lewis flailing his arms in the arm and not go for a armbar? Anyways, this is one of those match ups that's perfect for him.

New Jersey just had a card. Can we show some love to other cities? It's been four years since the octagon landed in Chicago.
