    They tried to get Paul Felder the title shot against Khabib but the NYSAC shot it down because, get this, Felder is unranked.  Unreal.

    "But Felder’s one-in-a-million opportunity was soon dashed by the New York State Atletic Commission, who ruled him unfit as a title challenger because he’s an unranked lightweight.

    The news was confirmed to MMAjunkie following tweets from Felder and his co-manager Bryan Hamper, who wrote, “And the justification from commission is a ranking… you’re doing great NYSAC keep it up!” A NYSAC representative wasn’t immediately reachable for comment."

    I've never liked that arrogant, disrespectful moron.  I'm not too surprised.

    Not surprised by the comments from Diaz either. 

    What a terrible example to set for MMA.  Not sure if Connor was high on coke or just his own ego.  What a joke.

     

    The sad thing is, is that this debacle will probably make him an even bigger cash cow for the UFC than he already was. 

    If Jon Jones can crash into a car with a pregnant woman and injure her and still fight in the UFC I'm sure Connor will too.

    At least its against more of a grappler than a heavy hitter. As you said, Max is likely to get mauled. Hopefully they have a real ref like Big John or Herb Dean and not Mario Yamasaki to step in and recognize when it needs to end otherwise Max is going to take unnecessary damage.

     

    That said, I'll certainly be rooting for Max even though my $ is on Khabib. 

    Yamasaki should stick to making hearts with his hands and leave the reffing to the pros.  Big John is commentating for Bellator now so I'm not even sure if he's reffing anymore these days.  I can't recall exactly which fights but Herb had me shaking my head a few times within the last year.

    I usually like Josh Rosenthal and Marc Goddard too.  If I ever see Mazzagatti in the cage again.... 

    Interesting how Dana said he guarantees Connor will be back in 2018.  Then said when asked about what happens with the winner of Khabib/Max, he said "We'll see how things play out and go from there".  I'm thinking Dana doesn't want Connor to fight Khabib but will let him fight Max in a rematch if he wins.  After all, Connor is still the official 155lb champ till Saturday night.  It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

    Can't see things going very well for Max Holloway on Saturday. 

    Agreed.  He's probably going to get mauled.  But then again, anything can happen. 

    Lot of respect for Max though for stepping up on 6 days notice to defend the belt.  Not many champs, past or present, would do that.

    So the UFC announces that RDA and Colby Covington are going to fight for the interim welterweight title.  Then soon after they announce a fight between Darren Till and Stephen Thompson.  You'd think that if Till can beat stop Thompson, something that Woodley couldn't do, then Till would be next in line for the title shot.  But the interim title holder gets first crack at the title.  Interesting....  :blink:
