bishopshodan Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 What a strange night. The headliner result made me almost forget the last few seconds of the Rockhold v Costa fight.. Never seen purposeful blood smearing like that. Luke is a savage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chatter about a rematch yet? White said he wants to do it in England If I was Edward's I wouldn't want a immediate rematch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Edwards waits for him. But I think you're right, he wouldnt want that rematch to be his first title defense. Edwards probably asks for Masvidal...

But you never know what white is thinking I think they have to do the rematch next. Usman gets brought up in GOAT convos... and he was winning that fight. So he should get the offer. Not that I really want to see it over some of the cool match ups that could happen in the top of that division. I agree the Mas fight would be fun...in England! War Edwards. As a Brit I was happy to see that last night and it reminded me of one of the best things about fighting sports. Anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the top guys in the division, it's probably the only fight that makes sense in the next little while... unless Chimaev can do a quick turn around fight after he smeshes Diaz next month. I imagine Conor McGregor is on the phone trying to get that fight too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards masvidal usman vs chimaev (when he beats diaz) If I was Dana that'd be my move If Usman won he'd either fight at 205 or vs chimaev.

Stylistically, Conor should be drooling for an Edwards match up. Crazy to think McGregor could actually pull off sneaking in and getting the 170 strap.

Crazy to think McGregor could actually pull off sneaking in and getting the 170 strap. It's kind of a good fight for Conor if he can push the pace for 3/5 rounds. That will be harder now that he weighs more than usual, but who wouldnt buy that PPV? ....then I want to see Diaz somehow clip Chimaev, setting up the Conor/Nate trilogy for the 170lbs strap. Everyone makes a billion dollars and I get to pretend age isnt real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any sane and fair world, you are right. But Conor sells tickets like nobody else. Until that stops, I think hes always in consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usman would certainly embarrass him. Leon probably would too. But a fit Conor could conceivably out-point Leon for a decision win.... mayyyybe. I think the beauty of Conor testing out 170 is that even if he loses, he can announce hes returning to 155 and people still support him. If he returns at 155 and gets smashed by Chandler, I think that's the end of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Not a huge fan of Khabib but I like what he has decided here. I don't like being hit over the head with sports betting advertising. Denied!

UFCanuck Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 That was a strange 2 minute pre fight press conference I’m guessing Nate’s crew and Chimaevs crew started a brawl backstage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khamzat is trying too hard. Sounding dumb all week. He's a killer but he should stop talking. Shame, I wanted to see that presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
