worst fight I ever saw

biased as **** joe rogan walking onto the stage lecturing about 2 guys playing chess really put it over the top

No ****. The number of times in my life I have contemplated smacking someone and then thought the better of it when I realized I might get hurt if I did I guess I'm an elite fighter now.

If only on the prelims.

Yeah, guy who was watcing the fight was trying to say it was techinical, not really for casual fans like me, I interupted him and said the fight just fvcking sucked.

If you have to make a post like this then neither are worth thinking about in any goat conversation.

I was being sarcastic. I don't like either of them and only wish they both could have lost.

Khabib on ig

Whoever you are or whatever you do, you'll get only what God prescribed for you.
AlhamduliLlah for everything God gifted me for my 28 years, I got much more than I asked. I know that many people was waiting for this fight and I fail them.
Want to bring my apologies for all my fans, UFC and my opponent Tony.
My health is fine now, thanks God. These tough testing only makes me stronger.
Thank everyone for the support.

#Alhamdulillah

Yep, God made you eat that tiramisu on the Embedded series. God tested you by walking at like 200 pounds and not properly dieting like a professional would actually do.

Does Khabib fight anytime soon? or did he lose Dana too much money. I feel like Dana might be fed up with him.

In the interviews Dana was like "Oh yea he's gotta rest up for while, then we'll see what happens" lol.

Wasn't he talking about a big UFC event in Russia? Khabib beating Ferguson, then fighting Conor in Russia would have been a ton of money for the UFC.

Ferguson shouldn't take that fight now unless he's ******ed

If they can move it back to 210, then fine, but if it's any later, Tony needs to stand firm for a title shot.

Tony has to make $ too though, can't have a title shot if CM isn't fighting in UFC until 2018.

Could see Tony/Nate in the meantime. $ fight to keep him happy.

We don't even know if Conor will defend the 55 belt as his next fight in the UFC. Woodley is probably looking juicy right now with a path to GSP after that.

At any rate, why should tony not fight khabib if they will pay him to do it?

Because Khabum is a dangerous pull-out artist. If Conor isn't available Tony should fight someone that hasn't canceled on him 3 separate times.

Tony might like that matchup even more now though, knowing how much Khabib is killing himself to get to 155.

Woodley looks the opposite of juicy to McGregor. Welter is a step too far based on the Diaz fights. I don't see why Khabib Ferguson can't be shoehorned into 210 or 211.

Nate might as well just wait for Conor at this point. If he got wrecked by Tony, then a 3rd fight with Conor loses a ton of luster. The 2 fights with Conor have everyone thinking that Nate is way better than he is.

can't believe wonderboy lost that...
Man they should put 5 judges, less chances for screw up decision i suppose...
ps: i dunno wtf some talk about but imo the wonderboy fight was great.
yeah not a lot of hits but still tension and movement and feints were there.

The reason why I feel it was a bad fight is both of them identified a clear path to victory and neither one took it. Woodley did well going for takedowns last fight. Thompson did well when he was more aggressive. They both had five rounds of experience and months to game plan off of it and they both did the opposite of what they needed to do.

ETA: I get that them both being prepared for the other guy's game plan may have neutralized each other, but I don't need to pretend that neutralized game plans leading to feints and circling is enjoyable to justify my level of expertise as a fight fan. Part of fighting is taking risks. The risk wonderboy took is letting the idiot judges decide the outcome.

All woodley/wonder boy fight needed was to be squared up, elbows out, closed fist with thumbs out saying "what up, let go, cm on bro" with each trying to make guy flinch. The fight was fvcking lame.

Especially when Woodley was saying he's going to finish him this time around and what not. All he did was backing up for 25 minutes and we already knew Wonderboy was going to try and outpoint him. "Chess match" my ass.

Alvarez v Poirier verbally agreed for UFC 211

From 0:00 to like 2:40



From what Floyd says, it seems like the only way they can make the fight happen is through UFC, therefore they get a cut => Conor gets way less money than he wants. I was always suspicious when Conor was throwing those numbers in the air, you can't make that much when you belong to the UFC and you want to fight Floyd of all people.

yeah i feel like that's been mostly ignored or overlooked by most media and fans.

Conor isn't doing *anything* unless the UFC agrees. He's under contract, and the UFC are notorious for having restrictive contracts. He can't just go take a boxing match because he wants to. He'd have to get permission, which I doubt the UFC would give.

Or he could try to fight them in court, but that's a great way to make no money and be extremely frustrated for several years.

aka the randy treatment.
He'd be better off letting the ufc skim $50m off whatever he made, he'd probably still make more fighting mayweather than another 5 ufc fights.
