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.

 

 

First he smeared the blood on himself. That's when you know you're in a war.

White said he wants to do it in England

If I was Edward's I wouldn't want a immediate rematch

Usman is probably off on a lengthy medical suspension because of the knockout. 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...

Masvidal would be the big pay day

My guess is he does one title defence before the rematch. 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.

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.

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.

Yep. I would think. 

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.

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.

Just now, naslund.is.king said:

Covington, Masvidal,Usman and chimaev would all be better options imo

Conor needs to win a few before he can be considered for another title fight

I mean... you're absolutely correct. 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.

Chandler or Ferguson would both bring in as much money you'd think.

I just don't see White throwing his golden child to the wolves

Edwards or usman would destroy Conor right now.

Yeah but he cant hang with Oliviera or Makhachev either.

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.

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! Khabib bans betting sponsorships in Eagle FC

That was a strange 2 minute pre fight press conference :picard:

 

I’m guessing Nate’s crew and Chimaevs crew started a brawl backstage.

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.
