Technically, if they replace Conor and the fight goes on, then Michael Chandler will hold the single biggest gate sale in UFC history. 😂

[@JPW328]

This will never happen because UFC REFUSES to show ANY Bellator highlights. They didn’t even show ONE clip of MVP all those crazy KO’s. There’s no way UFC can promote Chandler vs Alvarez 3 without showing the first 2 fight highlights.

I mean let’s be honest, the audience is going to be pissed if it’s Eddie Alvarez. This was an enormous card for casual fans, no one watched those two previous fights. Holloway is a way way way more marketable fight. Not even arguable

I've been saying since day one, he will pull out, he has no reason to get beat up in front of millions of people

[@vlada]

Eddie last fought in UFC in 2018. He then went 1w-2L- 1NC in ONE where he last fought in 2021. And John wants him to headline a big card?

[@posmoo9790]

John lost his mind. John also thinks Foreman vs Ali would be a great fight & would be super excited for it even though Ali died.

[@tschak5367]

Its cool that you love Eddie. We all love Eddie. Thinking that anyone wants to see him come in on short notice here, let alone to replace Conor who was the ONLY reason this card sold so well... get real. Please dont be that disconnected from reality. Love the show but this is stupid beyond comprehension.

[@philthyco1]

PERFECT REPLACEMENT

[@Rya_N33]

Sorry John that’s an idea but a dumb on for people who paid for 100,000 dollar tickets. Hopefully chandler still gets the same payday

Eddie Alvarez is 40 & hasn't fought in the UFC since Poirier knocked him out 6 years ago! What the hell is Big John talking about? No one wants to see Eddie Alvarez. How pissed would you be to spend top $ on Conor tickets & see him replaced by broken down Eddie just so you couldn't get a refund? Id never go see the UFC again if they did me that dirty

[@cobracommander9138]

Only Eddie Alvarez wants to see Chandler v Alvarez 3. Eddie is retired and out of the UFC for a reason.

[@JPW328]

[@MaisonKharl]

Wouldnt it be funny if Conor has so much pull with the UFC that he's using them to bring uncertainty and discourage Chandler, really put him through mental warfare, and then he comes out to fight with no issue

[@Tippet76]

The amount of rematches the ufc has is getting ridiculous. This would be Dustin's 6th rematch in his last 12 fights. Its just the top 6 guys matched against eachother over and over when there's 80+ fighters in the division.

Josh should buy a pair of glasses with smaller lens dimensions. Like 55 mm wide. May be a thinner metal frame. What he is wearing now is for example, making his nose look smaller.

Heck Chandler instead of touching gloves in round 1 might even point to the center and yell let’s bang to one up Holloway. Chandler v Holloway is the only play here since Holloway is a fan favorite and especially after what he did at UFC 300. Gotta strike while the irons still hot.
