Both Tony and Khabib beat RDA back when he was a monster and if the original RDA vs. McGregor had of taken place back in 2016 I think RDA definitely would have won. Sure even Nate in my opinion won both fights he was robbed in the second one.

When you watch both Tony and Khabib fight I think it just says it all even the way Tony moves. I know McGregor wasn't his best against Kahbib and that's all on McGregor. Khabib has received a similar amount of fame and we can all see the difference in how each person has behaved outside of the UFC. Khabib made a show of him. He tried to do exactly what he did to Aldo by getting into his head but it backfired.

I have to disagree with you said about title shots you should have to work your way up to one it's disrespectful to all of the other fighters that McGregor just gets to jump the gun again and goes straight into a title shot especially after how badly he lost during his last title fight.

You can't compare the UFC to boxing, boxing is probably the most corrupt sport on the planet that is being destroyed by money hungry scum like Eddie Hearn.  He has another one of these youtube fights lined up for the end of the month. Was so happy to read how disappointed he was with the numbers the last fight got. In boxing so many great fights never happen because of the corruption and it's such a shame. Imagine how big a fury wilder rematch would have been 6 months after the first one? Instead they make us wait almost a year and half while both fighters go through a series of bums (with the exception of Ortiz) now you probably won't even get half the interest in this fight that it would have generated if it had of taken place last summer.

I hear you and I don't disagree with a lot of what you're saying. On the RDA point, I think it's too easy to say that RDA would definitely have beaten him. If we look at Eddie Alvarez who had beaten both Pettis and RDA prior to McGregor and beat Gaetje after, I think that's a great gauge of what McGregor is capable of. He utterly destroyed Alvarez, who is the first person to win both Bellator and UFC titles..a scary, scary man. If he hadn't gone out boxing and all that nonsense I think the Khabib fight would have been a lot closer. It's all.speculation but this rewriting of history to say that McGregor doesn't merit 2 UFC titles at different weight classes is a little much I think. Winning one is hard enough, but to do what he has done is beyond exceptional. The fight now is Khabib..time for yer man to defend his belt and not against Dustin flippin Poirier, who McGregor destroyed also.

In terms of boxing, I take your point, but boxing has been in the ditch for decades, nothing new there. It's a business also. Do I want to see Khabib vs anyone else other than Tony or Mcgregor? No is the answer and I think the majority would agree.

One further point, McGregor is a knacker, but Khabib is a thug and a bully. He plays a smart game but his manager and the crew he hangs around with are far from angels.

I don't rate Eddie Alvarez at all and am still scratching my head wondering how he ever won that title in the UFC. He's in One FC now a big step down in competition fighting bums. Lost his first fight and was extremely lucky to win his second one. It's like the way Benson Henderson and Pettis held that title before also now both are getting worse as each fight goes on.

Khabib Vs GSP is the fight to make. GSP has proved himself against much tougher opponents than McGregor. And by all accounts seems to be a top bloke.

I have no problem with McGregor running around taking lines and hitting people he can do whatever he wants but the reason I never liked him is because to me he simply isn't funny. He reminds me of the 5th class hard jaw back in primary school who just ran his mouth all day saying whatever comes into his head and what is that forced posh accent he tries to put on most of the time when he is being interviewed I cringe every time I hear it. The only funny thing I ever heard him saying was what he said about Khabibs wife after he posted the pictures of his wedding. Khabib is more a good role model especially for younger kids his self discipline is unbelievable. He's a multi millionaire and still lives in a shack.

What has Khabib done to call him a bully? He confronted Artum because Artum was talking shit about him and I think we can all understand why he jumped over the cage after the McGregor fight. Yes I agree Ali is a scumbag but I doubt Khabib has a lot of say in who he surroundeds himself with when you take into account the type of place he came from. What is he suppose to do tell Kadyrov to piss when he approaches him, next thing you know Khabib and his family would be missing and never found again. Sure Darren Till, Tyson Fury, apparently McGregor and a few others are all involved with the Kinahans.

They're all fuckin eejits

They're all fuckin eejits

This..

I don't really care about the personalities tbh, I just want to see the best, most exciting fights. Last night was exciting, so was the Khabib fight. Plenty of them aren't though. I don't buy the Alvarez line there. Any lad that holds that belt has gone through war to get it. A fall from grace after, but they can never take that title away from him. Look at Cerrone or Nate or even Jorge, no e of them.has won a belt. It's not easy and all the talk otherwise makes no sense to me.

Luck also plays a part in winning the title as in who you end up facing, how the training camp went and most importantly how you feel on the day. Eddie also lost the belt on his first defence as the old saying goes a champion is only as good as his first defence. Yes I understand what you are saying but in my opinion the three guys you mentioned that never won a belt are not that good. This time last year how many people do you think could have told you who Masvidal was? I think Masvidal is currently the most overrated fighter out there he has marketed himself well by having an opinion on everything that has gone on since his Darren Till fight and Joe Rogan blowing smoke up his ass at every opportunity.

Once he comes up against a proper opponent I think he will be exposed and I suspect it's the reason he is avoiding Usman once Usman or Colby get a hold of him his career is done and not many will be interested in him after that.

On Conor.. Conor gets whatever he wants, it's as simple as that. Dana will back him once he keeps putting millions in his pockets.  All this nice guy / off the drink / new year new me shit is probably another show to get him through another year till he fucks off for another shit show boxing match. I noticed a lot of hands to god/praying stuff from him so I wonder how long before we get a 'it's not me.. all things are possible through christ' line from him or some shit like that.
Honestly I'd find it hard to go back to liking him again because of who he is and I'd like to ignore that shit and just watch him as a fighter.. but it's hard to ignore that shite with it everywhere.

The UFC do not give a flying fuck about any of their fighters bar the likes of McGregor. It's understandable with any company/business that someone who brings in a shed ton of money will get more leeway etc.. but when you give someone in that position a title shot after never defending any of the previous ones he's had, fucked off out of the sport, pulling all the other shit he has and losing his last  fight.. you might as well walk up to all the other fighters and slap them with your dick in the mouth.
Because of this divisions fall to shit and get stalled etc etc all for these trilogy fights / money fights etc etc.

f you don't have a big personality or some gimmick etc you can get dropped.. look at Colby for example. It's literally a business thing to act 'wwe' in UFC now. It attracts idiots, it makes people want to see cringe guys like Colby beaten senseless etc


With Masvidal, knew of him but he was never a 'name' until all the Askren thing. He's trying to do what he can now to finally make some money in the sport as he said for his family and finish up. I mean if he does that and actually finishes within 3 years then fair fucks to him. I'd say he's smart enough (I hope) to know the UFC will piss on him as soon as he gets a loss  or two. So he might as well milk it like the others. But starting to do all the stupid shit like standing in the crowd in that stupid robe... leave that shit to McGregor. People liked him because he was a vicious fighter in those recent 3 fights and seeing things like what happend back stage with Leon Edwards. They liked that there was no shit talking like Colby etc.. he went over and slapped the head off someone talking shit.
Again he just needs to not get into that spectacle side of things... but again that'd how the UFC is going so guys do it to make money... or go back to making fuck all.

Just a point on Joe Rogan, I like a lot of his stuff etc but you can hardly ever pay attention to him these days when he talks about *insert fighter name here* being the the pound for pound best *insert fighting style here* every few day. 
They all jump on the band wagon and he can really push that fucker himself. He was one of the guys talking about how amazing RR's stand up was.. the she got the shit kicked and punched out of her multiple times. 

Good commentator and knows his shit.. but really goes way OTT on fighters.

I'm not here to take part..
..im here to take shoulder

Forgot their is a couple of scraps on tomorrow.
RDA v Chiesa should be a good one.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Watching it right now Jackon V Colares is great atm

I hope Dos Santos knocks the shit out of  Blaydes.

RDA V Chiesa is interetsing..  RDA has had a few losses but so many of his wins/losses are decisions.. however I don't see it going that far with Chiesa. I'd say Chiesa will probably get it with another submission.

UFC was disappointing both people I wanted to win in the main event and co main event lost.

The Cyborg and Budd fight was so good. I think it proves that the Amanda vs Cyborg fight back in 2018 was a fluke and a bad night for Cris. Hopefully we see a rematch someday.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Was it just me or did The JDS stoppage seemed super quick   

[mickO)))]

Yeah it was a big quick but Blades I think would have won even if the fight had gone on longer.

Rafael Lovato Jr. has been diagnosed with brain disease and may never be allowed to fight again. Feel so bad for him top bloke and the story behind what went on before his title fight last June is crazy almost like a move Rocky type movie script. He was on with Joe last night one of the best podcasts in a long time.

[mickO)))]

Such a bad lineup this weekend. Reyes is a gimp does not deserve a title shot and is only getting one because nobody else is around the main man Jonny bones will destroy him.

Masvidal is set to fight Usman now in July  . Usman will make a show of him. As I have said many times I don't like Usman but he is on another level compared to Masvidal.
