So many big fights waiting for Masvidal now, can't wait, I hope he comes up on top in all of them too

Do you guys think Colby and Conor will fight 10 times next year, or just 9 times?

It will be the first 3-way fight in UFC history with Nate included.

Actually, Colby v. Conor probably doesn't happen b/c Colby is way too big/good for Conor. Conor would get smashed.

I'd pay double a normal PPV price to see Colby face Conor and Mayweather in the first ever handicapped tag team match in UFC history.

Usman calling out GSP, saying that is the fight to make. Smart move but can't see GSP doing that. He wouldn't fight Woodley 2 years ago so why is he going to fight Usman?

Yeah, GSP is not going to come back to the sport to take such a tough fight which isn't going to make him that much money or even produce much glory at this point in Usman's career. If GSP was ever to come back (unlikely) it would probably be vs Khabib (at 155lbs), Conor, or perhaps even Masvidal given how much his star has risen. If Masvidal were to upset Usman in a title fight I bet GSP would be calling Dana right away trying to get that fight.

Hi guys,
Tonight is a big kickboxing match, Rico Verhoeven vs Badr Hari.
Is there anyone outside of Europe (specifically the Netherlands) that gives a **** or even knows about this match?

I know about it from Rogan, will watch if I can find a stream easily. What time is it supposed to start?

Leaning towards Cerrone to win vs mcgregor. If you look at Conors past fights he only ever wins vs bums. Also I'm assuming the dude is drinking whiskey all the time.

Aldo post steroids: Win
Eddy Alvarez: Win
Nate diaz: loss
Nate Diaz 2: Win* he was close to losing and ran away from Nate
Floyd: Loss
Khabib: loss

Not gonna buy the PPV because McGregor is an idiot and the fight is meaningless (also the card stinks.) Will be watching the prelims though!

It's actually a very significant fight in regards to the future of the WW/LW divisions. I don't think the card is that bad.

For what it's worth, which is a little but not much, I'm taking Conor to have a resurgence and look great upcoming. Thinking those low weights at his height made him a mismatch but cost him considerable raw power. I laid it v. Cowboy. Deal.

Im just looking forward to seeing what Conor looks like in the cage. Conor looked so good against Eddie when he won that second belt, it was just such a dominant performance. Not that it would have made a difference in the result but he just looked like a different fighter against Khabib.

Because there are levels to this ****.

Yeah, Alvarez is a chump compared to Khabib. I dont think Cowboy is very good either, he puts on enjoyable fights and is a decent gate keeper but nothing more.

eddie doesn't really have any weapons at range. he's always going to get picked off by long range snipers (the type of performance poirier put on in fight 2) and conor is a master of manipulating distance against someone who needs to crash in and brawl. that's why eddie is much more competitive with gaethje than he was with cowboy because gaethje's going to give eddie the fight he needs to compete. i bet on eddie in the conor fight (this was before i was really trying to win) but that's just the nut bad matchup for him, and it allowed conor to showcase all of his skills perfectly. khabib is a much better striker than eddie even, but his game is really about the grappling so it doesn't really make sense to compare conor's performances between the two.

Unless I just misunderstood him or something, I think Conor just admitted(in this Ariel interview) to getting drunk throughout the fight camp and during the week of the Khabib fight and also challenging people to a real fight in the gym and knocking a guy out 3 days before the Khabib fight. Lol

Conor said he was drunk all fight week, but we already knew that just from watching the press conference before the Khabib fight.

He self sabotaged because he knew he was going to get wrecked.

Jones has said he would get drunk/high all the time in the lead up to fights to give him self a sort of excuse if he lost. Conor was probably going the same route but he's not as good.
