Woodley is delusional! Colby whooping him and putting him into retirement would be hilarious!

Delusional how? He didn't really say much. He was offered by the UFC and he accepted it. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt that Colby was avoiding him in the past.

But, at the end of the day, Colby has turned me down five or six times

Sneaky good card this weekend. Really interested in seeing how Garbrant goes, it's a make or break fight for him.

I agree with this. He won't be getting any fights soon if he losses here even if he remains active unless someone personally calls him out. Or when he starts talking sh*t on twitter Grin

But then we knew TJ was juiced to the gills and now we know how talented he was and still could not beat Henry Cejudo Cheesy

.

Putting juicing aside, Henry vs. TJ was a different case with Cody vs. TJ. What I was trying to imply is that because they were former teammates, they must have known each other's strengths and weaknesses. TJ's coach, Duane, must have outsmarted the other coach. He must have trained them both at one time and that's another factor.

Dana gave an update on Fight Island on Eddie Hearn's podcast:

Quote

UFC president Dana White has confirmed the first ever 'Fight Island' event will take place on June 27 and revealed it is f***ing expensive and crazy.

The promoter has been determined to push full steam ahead during the coronavirus pandemic, managing to stage four shows behind closed doors, in Florida and then Las Vegas.

Speaking on Eddie Hearn & Tony Bellew's Talk The Talk podcast, White said: Fight Island is so f***ing expensive and so f***ing crazy and almost impossible to pull off.

You're talking about planes, flying people over, you have to quarantine people. It's insane to be even trying to do this. But I promise you we will do it and we will pull it off.

I believe that in doing this, it's going to help grow the sport immensely. It's going to help financially and in many different ways. I know we can do it.

I'm glad this is still going ahead with the lockdowns being eased, but there's no word on what fighters are going to be on the card yet. Without some big draws this could be a serious disappointment. With a couple of big fighters it could be huge. I can't see a fighter like McGregor turning up though given the short notice, unless they've been told to train for it for a while. If a big fight was going to take place on there though they would likely have been trying to promote them for a while.

Not much details as per usual Grin

Did you say McGregor? - Conor McGregor texted the UFC boss Dana White saying he's desperate to fight on 'Fight Island'
