Not sure how the rest of the card was..being a boxing fan first was just odd seeing Canelos name in the centre of the octagon and Oscar all up in the videos. I liked seeing deron winn man. He is a big time legit prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never watched Askren fight, but sounds like a cocky sob so hoping he can back it up. If so maybe the UFC makes a catchweight bout between him and McGregor. 2 loud mouths fighting eachother would draw some PPV buys I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for a Lawler win, we know he hits like a truck and he is very good at stuffing take downs. But I have a good feeling I will be disappointed, kinda going with heart not my gut or brain here. I'm with HI5 , McGregor showed us what he can do against a top tier undefeated ground guy in Khabib. Can't see him wanting another in Askren, though the trash talk could be gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, McGregor likely doesnt want to fight a wrestler again, if he does he is likely just going to get taken down and lose again. He has a lot of $ so not sure how quickly of a turn around he will do for his next fight. I guess we to wait till Dec 10th to see what happens to him and Khabib?

I don't know why, but my guess is to get McG a win. Cowboy is Dana's dream, fights whenever called upon without moaning. I don't want to see that fight but if they do it I'm sure the media releases will make Cowboy look like he's a top fighter twice the size of the Irish man. I don't know what should be next for Conor. Kavanagh, his coach, says he hasn't see him since UFC 229. He always has the 3rd Nate fight waiting but if he loses, his stock goes way down. He would likely lose to Tferg and that fight might not generate as much $ anyway. I can't see him doing any better against Khabib in a rematch. Crazy but...maybe he will try for a GSP fight? he doesn't have a chance imo yet even with a likely loss, he would be admired for trying in the first place and could keep the money train rolling. Maybe a dumb Paulie boxing match? that's a bit of a story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a dumb Paulie boxing match? that's a bit of a story... Analyzing the top 5 at LW, it seems like Conor has 2 options as a best chance to win. Poirier and Barboza who are both solid, stand up fighters. Poirier has come a long way since his first fight with Conor and I think it would be a very close fight. As for Edson, it's a toss up depending on which version of him shows up that night. All the remaining killers in the top 5 beat Conor 9/10 times.

Cowboy is just entering LW again. Let him fight someone in and around the #5 spot first. McG should avoid a wrestler dominant fighter, that or train like crazy to be better on the ground(not something you get good at overnight). I wonder if GSP can fight at LW, would be a good fight between him and Khabib. I would like to see Ferguson get that title shot, if not Ferguson McG could be a good fight if Khabib is suspended they can do the all famous interim chamionship between those 2 till Khabib is back. That way Fergy and McG get to fight for a title and the true winner gets to defend it against Khabib. Not just an automatic rematch for Connor, which he doesnt deserve anyway. Didnt do it for Stipe and he defends his title 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing that One is getting a big fan base and have deep pockets. The UFC loves money over it's own sports integrity....as In, the ranking's don't matter and it's more important for the competitors to 'move the needle'...Prize fighting is the name of the game still. If it makes dollars...it could make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
