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.
speaking of weight classes, here's what people weighed in the cage on Sat. Notable to me was that Cejudo weighed a bit less than DJ, and both DJ and Cody weighed the same in the cage, 142, despite the weight class difference. 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.
Doubt a 165 will happen given the title already exists at 170 its just too close (lets not forget Conner weighed in at 166 for one of his fights with Diaz).. 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)..
dat sidekick tho
Justin Gaethje with a nice KO.
most of the night was a shitload of fun. but gaethje, he's an all-time keeper. after his post-fight interview, shaking felder's hand, then pulling him in close to get the mic, and calling HIM out for calling HIM out, then dismissing him completely and with full humor in favor of el cucuy.
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.

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?
:this
is a fucking joke.. No Intention to cheat??? Does that go hand in hand with his intention not to suck coke up his nose and run innocent people over almost in NM?? Give me a fucking break.. Yeah JBJ never intends to do anything yet he still does it.. How many fucking breaks does he get cut for his shitty choices he didn't intend to make.. Its called responsibility.. 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..
