Finally we see the best fighting the best. Can't wait to see an all time great in CBS fighting Opetaia. This is truly the best against the best. Zuffa changed the game after Opetaia vs Glanton and Ajagba vs Martin we have another baanger on our hands.

Zuffa delivers what we all been waiting for since decades. Thats worth compromissing the Ali Act and stripping fighters of their only security. More please

zuffa seems to be solely created in order to give tr-ump another venue where he can make a grand look at me entrance so he can fuel his narcissism as mouth breathing mor-ons cheer him on because it cant be about the boxing

Zuff signing all who aren’t stars

Zuff will become like UFC where the brand is bigger than any one of its fighters

Well it is something ................ keep adding them and maybe (?) it will add up to something inside the ropes i mean this weekend was not a powerhouse of pure boxing skills and match making so it is another platform putting something out on the screen ................... nobody is doing much at the moment anyhow. Check the listings watch the results Net-Fits did not do a great job. ProBox did what they do, and so it goes and so it goes.

It's a solid enough signing. Highly ranked and a headliner in Bournemouth

Decent signing for them.

So, if Zuffa picks a few divisions to dominate, I can actually see this as being ok. They will never dominate HW as the promotions/sanctioning bodies will bend over backwards to keep the money flowing into a division which drives the overall success of the sport. But Zuffa looks at the landscape, becomes the only game in town for CW, and builds that division into theirs.

Figure the lighter divisions need an influx of support: Zuffa gets aggressive and signs a ton of 118-126 pound fighters and all of a sudden these divisions have more opportunities than they have in a long time. Maybe everything from 140-168 is dominated by traditional boxing circles, maybe Zuffa grabs names at LHW. Why not? Some of these athletes in these divisions need an influx of support. Maybe Zuffa pivots to be that entity.

It's weird it took so long for Zuffa to make this signing. Should've been their first signing after Jai as none of the UK promoters were interested, including BOXXER.

Shane McGuigan has been suggesting this is the direction CBS would take for a while too.

Still, it's a good fight for Jai. CBS will come for a scrap and will make it messy.

SURELY, they make this fight now.

I think he'll fight a couple of times before
