I don't like the GOAT convo much.
Whoever I can imagine would win a fantasy open weight tourny the most times, all in their prime, I suppose.
This is fighting and size matters. So even though I often say my pick is GSP...I say it in an all things considered kinda way. Maybe it's JJ?...this Izzy kid? he has my attention.
Mighty mouse has been there in the discussion but I could never consider him. Despite being one of the best ever martial artist in the game. He would not win my dream open weight tourny but man it would be cool to see him try.
Naturally it's only my opinion but GSP similar fighter to Khabib but in all honesty not in the same league
I'm kinda of the opinion that hopefully Khabib s Mom changes her stance on him retiring and encourages him to continue after a well deserved break.

Canelo fights at 168lbs tomorrow. His first fight on the DAZN app/network..I think you’ll have to download the app on your tv, xbox, phone etc to watch. I’ve heard the first month on the app is free and then it’s like $10/month if you subscribed.
He's fighting in a different weight class than his other 2 World Title Belts against the Super MIddleweight Champion from Liverpool UK but is still coming in as favourite if by chance anyone has access to Sky Sports Boxing it is broadcast live there too

Rochin gave the first four rounds to Wilder...
He should Never be allowed to Judge another fight after that display of lack of scoring knowledge in a fight of this magnitude.

Huge difference between a shove and a clusterf*ck where people got arrested. I'm no fighter's fanboy and I think Khabib was stupid to do what he did. It's going to cost him.
Hopefully that's all that happens.....a fine or

The guy you hate just told the cops to release Khabib's people that attacked him and his corner.
Hate is a strong word i don't use dislike maybe

Even Khabib has called GSP a legend. That's why the rumour is out there that he wants to fight GSP then retire.
Well GSP was in his own realm a legend

Speaks a lot to your character if you think any person deserves a defenseless sucker punch to the head.

I 'd own a few if the Canucks were ever fortunate enough to sign him or he would ever consider to accept the move

GSP beats Khabib. No doubt.
Wonder if we will get to find out?
Gsp was never that good to consider that scenario

Of course they're not - GSP would dominate Khabib on the ground simply due to being almost 2x his size (not weight)
i doubt that but we'll never know

Regardless of your opinion of Conor - no one deserves to be jumped by a bare knuckled pu**y, especially fatigued from fighting for 20 minutes.
The Pettis fight, despite only 2 rounds, was much more exciting than the main event. It should definitely be fight of the night. That is what mixed martial arts should be all about - entertainment. Those 2 were doing crazy sh*t to entertain the crowd and do damage.
Lewis' comments about Trump calling him to knock out a Russian were odd and hilarious simultaneously lol
Conors mouth needed that punch so as far as i'm concerned much needed and overdue

This was a bad night for the UFC. Their main meal ticket fought a sloppy fight and got whooped then their champion attacked someone in the crowd while his corner went after people in and out of the ring. Ugly does them no favours in the long run.
Personally I'm disgusted with the fight and it's aftermath. I hope Ferguson and Khabib will fight after Khabib's likely upcoming suspension is over.
Agree to a point but Khabib's belt shouldn't be in any of the contraversey fines maybe but his belt shouldn't be in question no other fighter is comparable in any shape or form and that includes you guys beloved St Pierre just not in the same class

Absolutely agree - However Lewis hung in there and popped him with a huge shot. If Volkov knew how to fight he would not have left his chin open for a punch like that so late in a fight IMHO
Yeah he only had to steer clear for about a min to win doubt he'll make that mistake again

LMAO totally forgot about Derrick "My balls were hot" Lewis - UFC needs more of him and less of the antics. I have become a huge fan of his haha. Best Post Fight Interview
Not sure what fight u were watching but Volkov schooled him until the lucky punch.Lewis is a borefest i'd rather pay to see Volkov again least he comes to fight and knows how to.Lewis not much more than a tub of lard

I know there's no draws, and he may have technically won it - I just meant there was no clear "better" fighter in that 1st round.
Even though khabib was on top for most of the round, Conor took very little damage. Conor actually tagged him early in the 1st round if I recall correctly
The fact he was on top gives him the round

You're on glue if you think Conor didn't win the 3rd round.
You mean someone was feeling sorry for him and made a mistake nothing to do with glue,there again i'm more interested in the schooling he was given as a supposed World class fighter.naw just a pathetic joke he is.

Round 1 was a draw, Khabib just layed on him like sex in a marriage after 20 years.
Round 2 goes to Khabib.
Round 3 was won by Conor 29-27
Round 4 Khabib ends it.
Hardly "dominated all them rounds" but was clearly the much, much better MMA fighter tonight.
Dont believe Conor won anything definitely wont show up against Khabib again unless he goes back to the drawing board and learns a heluva lot more than he knows in the ring.He was total pants.Khabib is in another class entirely to McGregor and all others.

Well finally GSP has agreed on a fight against Bisping @ UFC 217 in November.
I for one hope he Bisping sends GSP back into retirement.

I've got to work. I'll see if there are any highlights/full fight videos on you tube before they get taken down later tonight. How about yourself? I don't know much about the rest of the fight card either, or where the fight is taking place. Is it in Jacob's turf?
Very entertaining and close fight,Jacobs didn't weigh in and came into the fight with a huge weight advantage.The IBF belt i believe it was,was therefore not on the line.
The knock down in the early rounds i think rd 4 may have swayed the fight.Definitely on Harold Lettermans card although 2 of the judges gave it by a few rds to GGG.I think Jacobs corner failed in not telling him the fight hinged on rd 12 as he was under the impression he was winning the fight.GGG came out to win rd 12 and did,so even if Lettermans card was more accurate he didn't leave it to the judges.
The fight prior to the main event was also really exciting with the WBC belt changing hands as Chocolatito losing his 46-0 unbeaten record in another 12 rd decision.The challenger also had a point taken away for a headbutt although i think is was unintentional.

Wonderboy can make aggressive guys so tentative. Rory was a victim of this as well.
On a side note,not sure if you saw the fights last night and the post game analysis,but Brian Stann when talking about the main event being tactical as opposed to boring went on to mention Anderson Silva has had a few snoozers and St pierre during his career has produced his share of boring fights.So i guess better analysts than me think the same of George.No biggie just thought it was an interesting statement.

GSP is my favorite of all time but I don't think he'll beat Bisping and if he does, he's got nothing but killers in front of him at 185. Will suck for fans if GSP wins the belt and then retires all over again.
Don't think it will happen but it could be written into the contract, that should he win he has to defend the belt x number of times, or forfeit the prize money from the Bisping fight.
On the other side of the coin Bisping is wanting to line up his fight with Romero soon after he is victorious over Gsp,should that be the case.

Don't blame the fighters, blame the UFC for their persistent disinterest in running things like an actual sport.
It isn't actually a post so much blaming the fighters as a fan of the sport showing his frustration at what is being organized,which in effect is directed at the UFC
Obviously it's money talking on the UFC's part.

Gaethje came in with a 100 % strike record it did him no good. His take downs (GSP) are insane but turn into a borefest for as long as he smothers his opponent or the round ends.Khabibs takedowns have purpose he wants to finish you and most times he does very quickly he's like a fast forward and more aggresive version of GSP.
By the way after the fight Dana has said Khabib was in hospital prior to the fight and fought tonight with 2 broken toes and a broken foot !!!
