Ilia Topuria knocking out Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway then jumping up a division and dethroning a prime Islam Makhachev would legitimately be the greatest 3-fight run in MMA history.
- Charles Oliveira vs. Islam Makhachev
- Aljamain Sterling vs. T.J. Dillashaw
- Petr Yan vs. Sean O'Malley
- Belal Muhammad vs. Sean Brady
- Beneil Dariush vs. Mateusz Gamrot
My goodness, what a card. UFC 280 looking absolutely *S T A C K E D* right now.
Dustin Poirier since his 2018 FOTY w/ Justin Gaethje:
- 6-2 record
- 4 finishes, 2 decs
- W over Chandler
- Only Ls in title bouts to Khabib/Oliveira
Gaethje since:

It was destiny.
Let's be clear, because this is going to happen. It's already started. Francis Ngannou, the man who demolished Stipe, beat 1/2 of the next title fight on one leg, and spent 2 years begging to fight Jones, did not leave UFC because he was scared of competition. Don't fall for it.
Colby Covington is ultimately someone with zero signature wins, zero wins over currently ranked welterweights, 0-3 in title fights, whose entire reputation was built off two losses, who's on the wrong side of his 30s in a young man's division. It is what it is. #UFC296
Colby Covington implying he'll see Leon Edwards' murdered father in Hell is genuinely one of the grossest things I've seen at a UFC presser. That's not even good fight promotion. It's just being a shitty human. #UFC296
In 2014, Conor McGregor became the first man to ever knock out Dustin Poirier.
Seven years later, Dustin Poirier became the first man to ever knock out Conor McGregor.
Paid in full. #UFC257
