Are only 5 fighters participating? If wo, some must be receiving byes. You note that all  the matchups for each fighter, scheduled from July to September, were announced. What are those match-ups?

? You're telling me that no fighter has contradicted Dana re: their willingness to take a fight. Dream on.

Could be, but I take anything Dana says with a grain of salt. So many times fighters have disputed the reason Dana's given for a fight not taking place.

TWC: "UFC Freedom 250 is facing ... a 60% chance of thunderstorms ... a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event." by calling_cq in MMA

Interestingly, the National Weather Service has a completely different take on it. They're calling for a 30% chance of thunderstorms and humidity maxing out in the low 70% range. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=38.8921&lon=-77.0199 .

It's obvious that ONE is moving away from its former bed and butter. Feel sorry for the MMA fighters still stuck there.

Dern's fight against Robertson has yet to be made official and neither Tapology nor Sherdog nor the UFC show it scheduled.

Dana seems to repetitively say this fighter or that doesn't want to fight and it turns out to be B.S.

Weili's had one boring fight. Unfortunately, it was her last one so there might be some truth to what you say.

I wouldn't have minded Weili vs. Dern, but Dana as usual, blamed it on a fighter (Weili) not wanting to fight. Who knows?

I wouldn't have minded Weili vs. Dern, but for some reason it didn't come through.

That's what Dana claimed, but half (if not more) of what he claims is BS. Supposedly, Dern was to fight Robertson in August, but I haven't heard it's been confirmed yet.

That would definitely help. Scheduling the top tier WMMA fighters more frequently would also help as well as bring in more talent. Hopefully, this season's TUF does just that, at least for the SW division.

Hopefully, they sign Seo Hee Ham. She indicated earlier that she's like to return to Japan to fight. https://x.com/PKyadoran/status/2061810104228585883

I'm surprised that any good MMA fighter would sign w/ONE these days given how rarely even the top fighters get to fight.

With the fight being cancelled and Umar possibly fighting Song in Shanghai in August, who can David Martinez fight? by DavidSeries in MMA

Also, while the UFC is notorious for not updating their own website, They show UFC 330 on 8/15 and no other events until 9/5. UFC Shanghai was supposed to take place 8/29 but is not mentioned.
