2 hours agoUpdated Main Card Announced for UFC 327
Paulo Costa and Azamat Murzakanov will co-headline UFC 327 after a title clash was postponed.
The top of boxing's most notable weight class is seemingly as wide open as it has been in a long time. While many past stars from the heavyweight division, such as Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Anthony Joshua, still factor into the title picture, there are plenty of rising contenders who are waiting to pounce on the opportunity to join the upper echelon.
Gervonta "Tank" Davis remains one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, but ongoing legal troubles outside the ring have thrown his career into uncertainty. Will the three-division champion ever fight again? Ryan Garcia is a talented fighter, blessed with elite speed and devastating power in his left hand. However, the biggest win of his career against Devin Haney was wiped away after he tested positive for a banned substance.
"I do hate him," Morales told Alvaro Colemenoro. "We don't have a very good vibe. But at the end of the day, he's still a fighter. I'm not gonna get overconfident if I had to prepare myself to fight him... That fight is gonna be intense if it happens... I think that if I were to fight him, it would be the first time that I would fight in a very aggressive way."
"About the decision, about the fight, nobody stay happy. I think the only people who stay happy about the decision is my opponent and his team. The president is making the right choice with that, that's protecting the image of the company and not tainting their legacy and the sport."
'Our new rules, 'Stand and Bang,' between Materla and Jungwirth, that would be something special. Now it's basically gonna be boxing with small gloves, with elbows also, clinch on the fence, but no takedowns, no kicks. And I believe this will be something special.'
If you want to make money, fight. One year ago, Tom was saying things like, 'I'm the active champion. I don't care about Jon Jones. I just care about the belt.' We all supported that because Tom was completely correct. And now one year later Tom is the one that appears to be holding out.
