GSP calling for the winner of Khabib vs McGregor. I can't imagine the UFC allows that for the 155lb title but they may do it at 170lbs?

conor gsp is the only fight there of interest, for the simple reason that the talent delta between conor's td and gsp's double is so spectacular.
oh and they both gas in 6 minutes so theres that.
If you watched GSP on Rogan, GSP basically said this was the plan all along. One last super fight for GSP before he is done.
Its a pipe dream I'm sure, but it would be awesome to do it at 165, and have it kick off a new weight class.Quote:

Lets see if the CSAC recommends people move up, and if they do, we'll see if anyone actually does it.

I just looked at the card for ufc 228. It is almost as if the UFC knows the main event wont sell well so they decided to load it up with terrible fights. 3 chick fights? The Fox card is actually better than the PPV.
Weird strategy they have. Why not charge less for this PPV card and really jack up the high-demand ones? Head scratching that every PPV event costs the same when clearly they unilaterally suck these days. This is a 19 dollar card at most. Charge $299 for the Conor fight where bascially every single person in both Ireland and Russian are going to find a way to watch it.Quote:

The rumor Ive heard and may happen is UFC creating a Cruiserweight Title/ Weight Class possibly at 225 or 235 (splitting the middle with the gap from 205 to the 265 Heavyweight max).. Personally I think they should bump up the Heavyweight limit to 285 which is where it is at for Amateur wrestling and indeed create a Cruiserweight group at 225/235 maybe 240 (Dana loves weights that end with 5 so probably would be one of the two)..Quote:

dat sidekick tho
Gallagher talked so much shit leading up to this fight, always fun seeing a guy like that get crushed. He's a legit talent though but everyone gets caught eventually.Quote:

a really fun night.
Never be scared of a fighter that comes out to the song Sweet Caroline.
Woodley performed great tonight which was necessary for him after his last fight giving a lackluster effort.
Sakuraba did an AMA. Read it.

Werdum pissed hot; almost a breaking of the cherry for a UFC Heavyweight

Press conference for UFC 229 in ~20 minutes.
:popcorn
What are odds of:
-Conor showing up late?
-Conor not showing at all?
-melee to break out?

Let me guess somebody just accidentally stuck him in the ass right?? or maybe he backed into a needle in some guys hand intended for Brock Lesnar??? Whatever...
Im Guessing UFC was already assuming the risk of an explosive incident was high considering they banned everybody but credentialed press from the Press Conference.. Have to laugh there was a South Park style cartoon on Jimmy Fallon last night suggesting just that that Conner would be late showing up for the PC and stuff.. Give Conner credit despite Dana saying it was Press Only Conner told people to bring a bottle of his new Irish Whiskey to the Presser and they would be able to get in.. With the heat between these two the only way to limit risk for a melee after the bus incident in NYC would be limiting access to who can get in..Quote:

The fact we can bet on how many times Connor drops the F bomb (does FOOK count??) is a hilarious fact that shows how bloody degenerate the betting community can be..Quote:

real. stolen from a professional photographer who was doing her for SI or something iirc.
that said i never heard a peep about her suing so she may well have leaked them herself.
Would of loved to been a fly on a wall when Dana heard of this:
also Nate Diaz and Poirier both claim they will be fighting for 165lb title at NYC UFC 230 LOL
tonite's RIZIN 13. Supposed to be a good bit faster than normal cuz a storm is a'comin. Literally. Typhoon in a few hours.

Kid's Farewell Party in 2 weeks.
Very heavy Kid tribute to start. Announcer says to bow heads an whatnot, 99% do, a few people in the crowd yell some shit in tribute, announcer immed reprimands them, then full minute of silence and no audience movement, not even opening their eyes or moving their arms, follows.
Solid.
If Horiguchi loses, there is no such thing as Japanese MMA anymore.
Sean O'Malley off the 229 card. USADA'd.
I can't decide what is more crazy Derrick Lewis getting a title shot against Cormier or Lewis fighting him a month later at UFC 230 on November 3rd.
UFC must be desperate for a main event or wants to give Cormier a tune up fight before Lesnar to keep him active against someone they feel he can't lose.
It's not as if Lewis will be even close to as ready as he can get (whatever that is) for fighting Cormier since imo he don't stand much of a chance regardless.
DC opens at -800 to -900, depending on your book. Derrick Lewis +500 to +575.
Nate Diaz needs a new opponent. Can conor be ready again this fast?
not putting money down on lewis seems irresponsible, statistically.
Watch Nate vs Conor for 165 Title happen now
"I was a bad person."
"I was sinning."
"I think God was driving the train..."
starts about 1:50 in. haven't watched the Matt Hughes doc on fightpass yet, but jesus, shit's pretty heavy.

i mean.... sooner or later he's going to roll snake-eyes and decide to check out, is my take here.
also im not watching that because i dont really care (nothing personal) but did i just hear that the ufc are 'doing a film' about his 'recovery' from the 'accident' with the train?
because thats some of the most outright vampiric exploitation ive encountered in quite some time.
Yeah, thats the matt hughes doc i mentioned was on fightpass. Country Boy Can Survive.Quote:

That Sonofabitch has a shit ton of nerve and his double standard.. Khabib instigated the whole bus incident when him and his buddies including Tukhugov bullied Connors training partner and possibly there was more then one. So Khabib can demand UFC not fire his stablemate for assault and battery but Connors an asshole for coming to NYC to address Khabibs bullying bullshit.. FUCK YOU you Dagastani Piece of Shit.. Typical Islamist goatfucker who thinks the rules don't apply to him.. Im begging Dana.. What he needs to do is FIRE Khabibs little buddy and then say Ok asshole try and break your contract we will sue the fuck out of you Khabib..
