Focused too much on opponents right now I think I have a long road ahead of me As far as getting healthy goes two Getting into shape and three signing a Contract then maybe we can look at Location and then talk about Opponents Tempa gimbo explains why he's Offended by Drake's t African comments Zimbabwe and UFC welterweight TBA gimbo Aims to become the next UFC champion From the continent following in the Footsteps of kamaro Usman israa Francis Nanu and dupi DDP claims to be the only African UFC champion who both trains and Resides on the continent however gimbo Is skeptical of dup's remarks in a Recent interview on MMA today the Zimbabwean fighter said that DDP should Have never said that as he's also Training and living outside of the African Contin continent he is African Right he was born in South Africa raised In South Africa trained in South Africa But the issue comes when he said That um the TR in his statement people Want to brush it off and whatsoever but You know when you see things for what They are I saw it I saw the interview And I was offended by it I don't see I To I with triggers right now because of That you know uh because you don't Like you don't discredit people just Because they left a place and go Somewhere else to for the better of
Their lives uh of course I am I am Admiring what he has done or as a person Achieving what he has done to become the Champion living and training in Africa But don't get us wrong he has been Traveling to Thailand since he was 17 His parents have got money he can afford To go and train all around he was Florida recently or whatsoever and then For us as African African guy like you Know who come from the poor background And stuff like that and when you see us Having our paring and stuff like that Leaving the continent to go for greater Good Dana White shuts down a June return For Conor McGregor on New Year's McGregor announced that his return would Be on June 29th to face Michael Chandler However it seems that the fight is no Longer planned for international fight Week let alone for UFC 300 in a recent Interview on the pat mcae show the UFC CEO mentioned that they still don't have A date and expressed his hope for the Fight to take place in the fall yeah so Just I'm a mark Conor McGregor's Fighting Chandler uh eventually yeah hopefully This year no I heard I heard we got a Date we didn't have a date Chandler's Pushing for a date people are pushing For a date Connor said he knows a date Everybody has a date you're the guy that Got us set the date you should say the
Date there is no date come On I'm hoping for uh I'm hoping for uh The fall we get it done in the fall okay So is that for when are you playing Blackjack with me as soon as possible we Were playing the MMA Community was Clearly not happy with the update here Are some reactions I feel like Dana's Lion has a Conor fight lined up for 300 Why why sideline Connor and waste his Remaining fight years he's old now in The fight game if I'm Chandler I'm swing Dana in the UFC because they did this Reality show last year in no fight now You are making Chandler weight literally Almost two years for this big money Fight when he could have made that bag In that two years but now you are having His career on hold shaking my head the UFC is sideline and Conor because they Want to try to prove to themselves they Can Thrive without him went from January 2024 to UFC 300 to fight week summer now Fall the fact McGregor fans can't Realize he's never coming back is sad if He does it's for retirement fight Dana Is always trying to change the subject Now I'm convinced he likely does not Want to pay McGregor in another month Dana will be talking about exus 20 24 by June he'll be planning Conor's comeback For March 2025 if Chandler had fought Two three times in this two-year weight He'd have earned what he would earn
Fighting Connor I'm convinced the UFC Just doesn't want to pay Connor fall They are totally screwing Chandler Unless he's getting paid behind the Scenes Rampage Jackson apologizes to Ian Gary during a recent appearance on the MMA hour Rampage revealed that he and Gary was invited to come on as Jackson Podcast but allegedly rejected it saying That Quinton was going to make fun of Him Rampage also touched upon the long Running rumors pertaining to Gary and The latter's wife and even called I in a Shortly after Gary fired back and Revealed he will no longer go on Rampage's podcast which they had Scheduled to record on Monday Rampage Jackson went on aiel last night and Spoke about how I turned down his Podcast because I was afraid of being Made fun Of I've got the on Monday of fight week I've got him in like 4 days I'm on his Podcast and he goes on and he calls me a Cook and he's Ian the cook he didn't Even know my name and he's like asking Ariel does his wife really have a Boyfriend no you tick no because you're Believing absolute bollocks and Li some Other people imagine running a Podcast and not knowing who your next Guest Was imagine being that stupid and then Going on AAL and speaking about it well
