his career has the opposite path of the efficiency of the roids control...
Has the controls got better, he got weaker !
Going from one of the most powerful one man punch of the business by knocking everyone easily to having hard time to ....make weight!

Conor wants Khabib in Russia after the Floyd fight, per Dana White

even though he says Khabib v Tony has to happen, so we might have an interim belt as well

Normally I'd say it is surprising to book a title fight only 1 month in advance.

But UFC knows no one really cares about Maia/Woodley. Think Woodley matches up pretty well though, should be able to keep it standing.

Fwiw, both Schevchenko and Whitaker are now -120 and -140 respectively for their upcoming title fights.

Call me cynical but I think its a good idea to have a backup plan when the main event is jon jones vs cormier

Cormier is going to legitimately struggle with those new weight cutting rules

I'd say Dana is full of **** as usual

Conors coach said the other day that he wants his next mma fight to be against Nate for the title

Conor vs Khabib in Russia would be nuts.

GSP supposedly fighting Maia-Woodley winner. Guaranteed to be boring as hell no matter who wins! Either a jab-fest vs. Maia or GSP and Woodley staring at each other for 25 minutes à la Woodley-Wonderboy 2.

Conor-Khabib in Russia could be huge I think. Khabib's good on the mic and after a few pressers in Russia where Conor's pissing off the entire the country, the hype should be enormous.

His career will soon be over if he keeps fighting that way though. Think they give him Barboza next & that will be a war, not sure he can take those kicks.

Missed the Johnson/Gaethje fight. Gonna watch it now.

I like Whitaker tonight, think he stays on his feet and picks Romero apart.

Card would've been so sick with TJ vs Cody and Cerrone vs Lawler on it.

No they won't. But Dana still feels the need to tease us about it happening.

I like him against barboza, seems like a good matchup for Gaethje. There are a few bad ones near the top though.
