@mma_orbit @arielhelwani Why is it so hard to book a Conor fight? He will make you the money that you pay him back. Always felt like there was something else at pay.

🚨| Per @arielhelwani, the UFC are “at the goal line” in relation to booking Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway for #UFC329 on July 11th. ‼️

@WizStopPlaying @jedigoodman My whole point was Eddie would be the promoter for Fury v AJ. I brought up Eddie before you even commented

@fightowl8 @jedigoodman No one brought up Eddie. Dana the promoter

Dana White, when asked where Fury/AJ will take place: I'm gonna leave this one alone. Apparently I'm not the promoter for that fight according to some guys.

@WizStopPlaying @jedigoodman Floyd v Conor was Dana’s show, Conor couldn’t do that without him. Eddie had nothing to do with Canelo or Crawford at that point so I don’t understand why you’re even bringing this into it. Eddie has been AJ’s promoter since day 1, not Dana. Compare apples and apples.

@fightowl8 @jedigoodman Same way Dana was the promoter for Canelo vs Crawford and Floyd vs Conor

@Hugo71890282 @oscarswillis Honestly can’t call it. I want to say Bisping but I can’t keep doubting Sean haha

@fightowl8 @oscarswillis I would have loved to see Bisping vs Strickland.

If you could pick one middleweight in history (not named Pereira), who do you feel is guaranteed a win over Strickland?

@acdmma_ Yes. 2X champ and only lost to Alex and DDP when thinking of the “greats” of his generation. Won the belt twice being a huge underdog as well. Absolute hall of famer. I’ve doubted him every time and ate my words. Done just as much as Bisping at MW.

okay here’s a question for you all: is Sean Strickland a UFC Hall of Famer after last night? 🤔

@metallica360 @Elonov_MMA If he beats Lewis in good fashion they will fast track him for a title, but I think he will fight Volkov after Lewis

@fightowl8 @Elonov_MMA Yeah, After Lewis his options are Pereira, Gane, Volkov or Aspinall. Hook it is cooked against any of them.

Who’s next to lose their 0?

@digitalGhostXX @aaronbronsteter He lost twice.

@fightowl8 @aaronbronsteter He fucked DDP up and got robbed. Not complicated.

Here's the thing... Where does Sean Strickland now rank as an all-time middleweight. Two-time champion with two title fights won as a massive underdog.

@RyanGarcia 🫡🫡

Since I won 120,00 I’ll give one person 10k who likes this tweet and follows me. Let’s go

@mma_orbit So no money, but a pair of shorts with a nice pattern instead 😂

🚨| Despite missing out on yet another performance bonus, Dana White says King Green will be rewarded with his own custom shorts next fight after what he’s done for the company over the years. 🩳👏 (via #UFC328 post-fight press conference)

Sean’s post fight speech confirms that there’s only 3 real rivalries in MMA past the point of no return: - Conor and Khabib - Jones and DC - Masvidal and Colby Have I missed any?

It really comes down to how you scored R3. R5 was also super close, I just rewatched it (by the pool in Greece 😮‍💨) and I had Khamzat winning R3. Sean had more strikes but I felt Khamzat was pushing the pressure. Commentary were making out like Khamzat was done in R2.

@KChimaev @ufc @SStricklandMMA But Dana said you’re moving up?

@SStricklandMMA see you soon again 🫡

@AndyHickeyMMA Wow. Why didn’t I see this before the fight? To be honest I’d have still backed Khamzat. I really did not see Sean winning

Khamzat Chimaev is on a 9 fight win streak. Dricus Du Plessis' win streak ended at 9. Israel Adesanya's win streak ended at 9. Robert Whittaker's win streak ended at 9. Chris Weidman's win streak ended at 9. All as Middleweight champions.

@UFCEurope @danawhite Does Dana ever not say “I had it 2-2 going into the last round” when it’s a close title fight, then says he had the winner winning the last round 😂

Correct Decision?! 🤔 🏆 #UFC328 The boss @DanaWhite gives his score for our main event!

@arielhelwani Am I crazy or is Dana bitter enough to not announce it just because Ariel said he would? Or maybe Ariel jumped the gun, I’m just thinking out loud 👀

No announcement tonight. Relax. All still moving in the right direction. Won’t be too long now.

@mma_orbit Credit where it’s due, shocks me every time.

🇺🇸👑 Sean Strickland’s resume is insane. ✅ Khamzat Chimaev ✅ Anthony Hernandez ✅ Paulo Costa ✅ Israel Adesanya ✅ Nassourdine Imavov ✅ Brendan Allen Where does Strickland rank amongst all-time middleweights? 🤔 #UFC328
