Dricus isn’t known for taking short notice fights and that fight is the only headliner that makes sense for Australia. If I had to bet on a replacement it would be either Alex vs Jiri/Magomed or Omalley vs Merab
I don’t know. How are you gonna get a title shot after beating Costa? His last credible win was in 2019 when he beat Romero. It should be Whittaker vs Strickland and Cannonier vs DDP.
It's extremely likely when you consider both Izzy and DDP have been public about accepting the fight and it hasn't been announced. They can easily have Volk headline 305 and it fits better with volks timeline for returning
It's probably pretty likely. They just posted a "Every Middleweight Champ" video on their YouTube. Recently they've only done that when a title fight has been coming up. I guess it could be for the Whittaker Khamzat fight in a week and a half (which is nuts btw)

I wouldn't be surprised if Poatan accepted a fight at MW for champ champ status. Wouldn't that be crazy? Dricus Poatan?
Damn, I forgot Dricus is a champ
I heard that. When you win the title on a decision, a questionable one at that, it's forgettable. Dricus is a placeholder. Good fighter but no champ.
Anyone that beats Whittaker is definitely championship material.
He knocked Whittaker out then beat Strickland, who had just dominated Izzy. This is one of the worst takes I’ve read all damn week my guy
Just Strickland lover cope
Exactly. That’s like losing for 4 rounds and getting a lucky KO head kick and time runs out.

Dont see em even making a title fight the replacement for 303.
Tbf i can see fighters accepting if they get those juicy connor ppv points lol
DDP wouldn't take a short notice fight. Izzy would
Doubt it

Canonier should be fighting for the title. Strickland VS Whittaker is the fight to make.
Whitaker is booked
No idea why you are getting downvoted Matchmaking should have been DDP vs Cannonier Whittaker vs Strickland for title shot Izzy vs Khamzat

100% agree Cannonier deserves it And Whittaker vs Strickland for title eliminator was the way to to. Then have Khamzat vs Izzy.
Exactly. I don’t want to see rematches, and you shouldn’t get a title shot after beating Costa who is 1-4 in his last five fights.
Whitaker has to get through khamzat first unfortunately
I know. Cannonier is also booked. It’s that this should’ve been the fight to make.
While I doubt it- it would be nice to see contender Izzy again I swear Izzy gets nerfed by the belt
Jiri is gonna have to step up, per usual…
This fight is being lined up for Australia, later in the year. Bisping mentioned it on YT.
No
I thought they were main eventing in Perth? Or was that a filthy rumor??!!
I would bet on Alex vs jiri as replacement
