When GSP was in his heyday he always avoided the big challenge-Silva. That was the fight that would have cemented him at the true goat.
If Jones wins the heavyweight belt then it's him.

I think Robert Whittaker is a great fighter but I don't think he will beat Israel Adesanya in a rematch.
That fella from the contender series has some serious power!

Justin was running away from Khabib for most of the first round and barely defended himself on the ground despite being a high level wrestler. Very disappointing but just shows how high level khabib is to make justin look bang average.

We won't get to see the Ferguson fight now, but you never know, these lads have been known to do a comeback now and again.

Khabib will come back for the GSP fight. That's the fight he has wanted for ages and Dana said not so long ago that if he beat's Justin the 30th fight will be GSP.

Can't wait for Lima Vs. Mousasi tomorrow. Really hope Lima pulls it off especially after the way Mousasi behaved when he lost the belt to Rafael Lovato Jr. last year.

Seems Khabib has put up a few sketchy posts on Instagram where he appears to condone the recent attacks in France while condemning Macron over his stance on showing cartoons of Muhammad.

Cartoon = beheading. Fair trade.

I saw that. It's full of the you will meet a grisly demise rhetoric . I've never heard him speak out on this sort of thing before.
Praising Allah yes but this is a new direction publicly for him.

Pfff. It's best he retired tbh and it's no surpise he's going on with that stuff. He also seems to be writing his own story. 4 title defences where Jon Jones, the greatest fighter the UFC has ever seen has 15, and he's calling to be recognised as the GOAT? Look at the lads Jones beat. Khabib's fight record comes nowhere near it. A great fighter but loads of hype around him too.

[ldj]

Definitely, great record but he only became champ two years ago, the likes of GSP, Jones, Anderson, Mighty Mouse, Aldo, Fedor etc were all champs for years.

Most of them went downhill but they didn't retire after 3 defenses either...

I dont like cheering against our own but I was delighted to see Poirier do the business last night.
Nice to see Khabibb and Poirier soften his cough.

Thought it was a decent fight. Poirier is number 2 in the world in that division. He has beaten every before him in recent times. A trilogy will be really good with a proper crowd. Fight island is shite. I'd say McGregor is far from finished. It's all about how much hunger he has. The rest isn't an issue. He looked rusty. He needs to fight more.

[open face surgery]

That Chandler lad looks like he's going to be entertaining.

[Pedrito]

Great breakdown of McGregor's complete style change that has turned him from being an incredibly versatile martial artist to a sitting duck. I wonder if his body is just busted up or does he just believe he has a magic knockout punch.
