Conor should be trying to fight Poirier, a win would give either a title shot vs ferguson(see what i did there?)

Cowboy's trying pretty hard for that conor pay day, lol. That fight doesn't make much sense

They'd verbally sparred before. Cerrone is a well known/well loved star. It doesn't 'make sense' from a ranking perspective, but from a name value perspective, it's probably at least a small bit bigger fight.

I would've done cowboy-gaethje but looks like pettis is getting justin

Could always do the nate rematch

Cowboy will probably be the one to try to step in as a replacement for any of the upcoming bigger fights in that div.

Don't think conor would want to risk a loss to cowboy which would probably take him out of the top 5, right?

I don't understand why fighters who know they are at least 2 lbs heavy from weighing themself in the back still come out and do the whole towel thing, maybe so it's less of a sting saying you're 2lbs over instead of like 2.5.

Calvillo did not look well

blaydes shouldn't have taken that fight, had everything to lose and not much to gain

be pretty surprised if chuck-tito gets over 75k buys. probably be a trainwreck and end within 2rnds. hope chuck KOs him but that would just lead to him fighting again so...

231 can't get here quick enough

have you watched his kickboxing performances?

good weekend for fights, although it's one of those situations where if they'd combined the two cards on fri-sat, it could've amounted to one stacked show. i guess that isn't possible with the TUF finale tho. excited to see usman-dos santos, think usman will take it bc dos santos has struggled mightily with wrestlers. also stoked to see JDS, that might be tuivasa's coming-out party though. if TT wins he remains undefeated and has to be in the shortlist of title contenders? maybe a fight with stipe afterward? heavyweight is getting much more interesting these days. i wish cormier had another year or two of fighting in him.

From the very beginning of mma to conor vs khabib.

I've fallen off to just being a casual fan in the past couple years (and this touches on why) but this doc is pretty great and brought back so many good memories. I miss Pride.

I'm in the same boat. I kind of hope Anderson rings his bell.

Cejudo/TJ is being moved to ESPN+ debut. No word on replacement main event but either Rose defending her belt or Cyborg/Nunes being moved are the expected options.

Woodley/Covington was attempted but Woodley declined, citing need for more time to recover from surgery on his hand. Usman/Covington might end up the co-main to Cejudo/TJ but Covington (for good reason tbh) hasn't agreed to it as of yet.

How did I miss Johny Hendricks getting KO'd in a bare knuckle boxing match by a washed up old Bellator fighter noteworthy for having participated in gay pornography? This sport, man...

the whole backstory of that event is nuts. bas rutten posted a huge statement about it after he took the helm as president and unwittingly got himself into a gigantic criminal clusterfuck.

Sure, why not. Let's do 3 days

Your outcome is definitely a possibility and I did pick Max the last time they were going to fight but I think all the time off/weird health issues might factor
