Time to hang' em up and open a gym

Glover is a bad mamajamma but Evans got outclassed by Bader too, so you're probably not far off

Yup. And it just goes to show how dominant Mighty Mouse is. One of the greatest fighters to ever walk the face of the Earth.

Dodson looked like a Mike Tyson mini-me, both in build and in the way he worked that uppercut... once he landed the first one he just kept driving it home

Khabib is a ****ing man.

He's going to run through Dos Anjos and then take Conor's belt.

I don't think Khabib wants to cut to FW.

After Conor fights Diaz, he'll probably be told that he either needs to defend his belt, or vacate it.

Predictions for that Conor fight? Does he beat Diaz? If so, does he defend at FW or move up to LW?

I don't see how McGregor wins. Diaz actually had time to train for this one.. He is just as bad match-up.

Agreed, after seeing that first fight, Diaz looks like a terrible matchup. Conor will always have a chance because of his murderous left, but I don't think his issue was just stamina as he claims. Even if he paces himself, he faces one of the best boxers in the UFC who is also a legit Gracie black belt.

That's the key for me. Nate is long, and a fantastic boxer. He's also better on the ground than just about anybody not a Gracie BB. Conor would have to land that one punch KO. IIRC Nate's been ko'd but it was an accumulation and not the one shot Mac would need.

I don't believe this at all and think Conor is trolling us, but just in case he's not, he just inexplicably tweeted this:

What on earth....

raybec 4 04-19-2016 01:08 PM

No way

alnorth 04-19-2016 01:20 PM

Again, I don't believe it, but Conor was cageside at the Joao Carvalho fight. Its possible that may have affected him more than anyone expected.

alnorth 04-19-2016 01:43 PM

The leading theory on the internet is that Conor is in a dispute with Dana White and the Fertittas, and is using this as leverage.

Followed by "he is high right now and messing around"

Followed by the theory that seeing someone just die in the cage at the hands of his teammate profoundly impacted him and he's serious.

alnorth 04-19-2016 01:57 PM

OK, this one is 100% trolling
