IDK about beat, but I bet I could take him down 1-2 times.

Maybe not in the cage, but on the street I have a chance. (If he is wearing a t-shirt, obv)

So a guy who tried to kill his ex for cheating & is now pretty much is sentenced to jail for life is soon to be married but yet i can't get a date. Should i just end it now folks?

^^^ She's not even bad looking, i'm thinking to jump off the roof by the end of the day hahaha.

I think some women have a fetish for prisoners. They're the ultimate bad boys but they're behind bars for life so she can still sleep with other men and he can't do anything about it. The women might also have a savior complex of sorts (oh he has a good soul and just needs me to bring it out of him).

Cormier vs JJ 3? or Khabib vs Mcgregor. If neither of those fights take place then they will have a 3 title fight ppv. If both TJ & DJ wins in August i wouldn't mind seeing them fight & they make that the main, not the sexiest but the Nov MSG card will sell regardless of who's on it & TJ vs DJ is a big fight for the hardcores.

Why would it sell regardless of who is on it? You think people care that it is in MSG?

Cormier/JJ in 3 months feels unlikely. Khabib vs someone as the main is probably best bet. Maybe winner of Sats fight, Kevin Lee? Maybe they give Diaz a bag of cash?

Certain cards will always do well my man. Last year new years eve card was okay at best & had Cyborg headlining vs Holm & did the same amount of ppv buys as Stipe vs Cormier this month(400k ppv buys). The MSG card is a marquee event for the UFC & they promote it as such. If Khabib doesn't fight Mcgregor then i think they would be screwing Ferguson by not giving him that shot, i know the fight feels cursed but the fans still want it.

Don't think Cyborg/Holm (Khabib undercard) doing as well as Stipe/DC (Max/Ortega cancelled) is that big of a sign that certain cards just sell. Holm is a big star to casuals because of her upset over Rousey.

A year is an arbitrary endpoint but kinda nuts to think that if McG doesn't fight in '18 then this is gonna be the first year in a long time that UFC hasn't sold over 400k buys in a PPV.

Specimen vs specimen. Pretty mad that Costa was on the prelims last week and is headlining MSG a few months later!

Is Colby injured? I don't see anything concrete. Even if he is healthy expecting a welterweight to fight in 90 days seems pretty ****ty. Woodley has been off for a year, waiting another month or two longer doesn't seem as big of a deal as expecting someone to fight a month or two sooner.

Looks like UFC is screwing up the schedules, Woodley wins he won't fight until Feb, Colby will probably fight someone during that time, and they are still a couple months apart of timing.

He has a sinus injury, probably too much blow after his newfound stardom

UFC had nothing else to put in the main for 228. I think the days of putting Randamie (sp) vs Holm as the PPV main are over with PPV sales being down so much.

Wonder what the break even point is for UFC on PPVs? I know the cable company gets like 50% of revenue.

McGregor plea deal pretty lol. Lawyer must've told the judge that he'll never fight in NY again if he doesn't go easy.

Ariel saying UFC targeting khabib/conor for 229 which seems weird.

I think the reasons for the October date is that Mcgregor wants to fight ASAP as he was ready to fight in May & i know he has made a 5fight or 5year deal with some Las Vegas hotel to have his after parties there. I think with that deal he can only fight in Vegas, or am i way off?
