ufc 262 tickets on sale tomorrow if you have fight club.

someone said earlier that this card was better than 261, i disagree. Some good fights but no real big names. throw ngannou vs lewis on there and then we can talk.

That’s nice. Many think Leon is the real deal, does Nate have a shot with this much rust?

Nate never gets KOd but Leon is really good. I'd expect him to be a pretty solid favorite. When was the last time Nate actually own a fight? Connor pt. 1, like 5 yrs ago?

I just don't think Diaz is an elite fighter, especially at 170. He's a huge name and gets ppv buzz, so Dana keeps him at top billing, but that's about it. I exist Leon to beat up Nate pretty good. Mate's biggest threat is to try to gas him out and steal the fight late.

still dont think it is better, but adding this fight gets it right up there.

Big chance for Nate to make some noise here. If he wins this fight it could be big for him. id love to see a colby vs nate fight. neither guy is a knockout artist and both have great cardio. I think colby would whip him but still would be a cool fight.

the undercard for 261 is weak, the undercard for 262 is stacked

I dont know what Jones normally makes but 8-10 million seems like a good payday when you consider high level NFL players get that for a season, not a couple of months of training camp and a 25 minute fight.

Yeah but he’s not 1 guy out of 53 rostered players with a salary cap

He should view himself more like boxers do, not pro team sports.

Good luck with that. UFC will stick Black Beast in there who I am sure will take a good bit less than 8-10 mill.

UFC wants Francis vs Jones just as badly, if not more, than he does. And they definitely don’t want to risk the hype on that title fight on a potential Lewis knockout

I’m not saying he will get a boxing payday, but it’s smart business for him to have that mind set if he wants to maximize he payday for the fight. Comparing him to team sport salaries just doesn’t make sense

Black Beast will probably make $500K on the fight under his current contract and Dana/UFC will make $100+ Million with a full gate.

Dana will go cheap over expensive any day of the week. I wonder how much Bones really wants, but if he wants boxing money it's never happening at UFC.

So, what do you do? Do you risk losing your new shiny toy to someone who hits basically just as hard as Francis and can KO anyone at anytime, or you do you nut up and pay Bones $20+ million or something?

Big risk, but even if Francis loses, I'd imagine there would be a re-match.

If Jon plays enough games, I guarantee you Dana will love on quickly.

Trust me, Jones will take the 10 million to fight Francis... he's playing a game with Dana where he wants ESPN or Endeavor to interfere so he gets his way

man AXS has the worst ticket queue in the business. I had grabbed some decent price tickets and went thru the process then it got hung up. Then they sold out of everything but more expensive tickets so i had to buy them. What a shitty website. Cant believe the UFC does business with them.

I wasnt complaining I just said that it wasnt as good as 261.

One good thing about the undercard is Antonina schevchenko is on there so that means Valentina will be around so I can wife her

Then what the frick was the point of moving to heavyweight if he doesn’t want to fight? I completely expect Jones to take the first title fight once/if ngannou loses the belt

Dude better jump on that 8-10 mill offer. He has a chance to cement himself as the unquestionable goat if he beats Ngannou.
