Conor McGregor, and Dustin Poirier caused a reaction on twitter.

Conor is trying hard to get a title fight and he knows only trash talking could help him in this regard Cheesy

And Tony Ferguson dancing from the clinic.

Tony is a special breed, his chin impressed me and he is dancing around after a really tough fight and in hospital, i bet he is in real pain after the brutal fight.

Name callings started over Twitter.
Conor McGregor and Tony Ferguson is first, and I think Toni knows that he will miss title fight against Khabib now,
so he plans to fight with Conor in next fight.
It is just my theory, but realistic.

Conor is taunting Tony, Gaethje and Nate Diaz and he knows someone will get hooked in his trap and he will be targeting Gaethje as he knows that is the best option to get his hands back on Khabib.

Well, I am really having a doubt that the fight would make it that is why I don't make a bet ahead of time, even though my bets would have been refunded if the match was canceled, and because of the recent blackout or power failure in my place that has lasted almost 3 days then I don't have any problem in that part

Power failure for three days Shocked

, my prediction was spot on for the event and rarely you get this kind of huge fight cards where you can parlay and win everything.

And I had a glimpsed in the news about Ngannou winning but I haven't seen the highlights yet, I have just watched the main event on the Tony Ferguson Vs Justin Gaethje highlights and that was it.

There is no highlight as the fight lasted just 20 seconds, three or four punches from Ngannou and he just need one punch to land and the fight was over as it started. The UFC could give him the interim belt rather than making him wait.

^ ^ Loving the line for Michael Johnson vs Thiago Moises at 1.90. He was really good back in the day when he started. Moises could be an easy match up for him imo.

I have not seen any fights of Thiago Moises but what i know is he is really young and a BJJ expert. The reason i doubt Michael Johnson is because his credible win was against Dustin Poirier back in 2016 and won just 3 fights in his past 10 fights and he went down to 145 pounds to try his luck and that too went off the track.

Conor was great with this tweet.
"Super excited for the lightweight title bout in July."

And Tony Ferguson dancing from the clinic.

What is true is that the fans are waiting to see their favorite boxers and they expressed their support and ideas here.

Agreed! It has always been an unlucky pairing for uncle Dana hehehe.

In any case, I speculate El Cucuy might fight Dustin Poirier after this loss. Also, clearly next fight for Khabib is Justin. Who will be next for Conor, however? Certainly not Nate. This will not improve Conor's ranking and challenge the champion.

Tony and Khabib was seen as the biggest fight in history and Gaethje and corona virus spoiled everything Grin

, now the logical fight for Tony is to fight Dustin and Conor already started trash talking Tony, if anyone remembers Conor never said a word about fighting Tony before the loss Cheesy

.
If Dana could lure Nate Diaz then we will see the Conor and Diaz trilogy.

Edit: Francis Ngannou was really amazing in my opinion but I haven't watched the whole fight yet.

You did not miss anything.
Fight was very short, and probably less than a minute.
Rozenstruik is luck to be alive because referee jumped in to stop the fight.

I mean I already knew that Ngannou had won it but I haven't watched the whole fight yet, been very busy lately and the recent Blackout in my place was the cause I didn't make a bet, but I am, please to hear that UFC Dana White really did make it happen.

Gaethje vs Conor for the right to fight Khabib? Is this something that could happen?

The point of having an intern championship is to battle the champion because he was forced to sit out because of the restrictions and in three months time all these restrictions will be lifted as you cannot halt these business for a very long time and Gaethje and Khabib fight can be done in three months and by that time everything will be fine and if both fighters are healthy then we might see the title unification fight by August.

Quote from: hilariousetc on May 12, 2020, 04:30:30 AM

McGregor was telling Diaz to 'sign the contract' a day or two ago but Dana White said there was no negotiations between them so it was likely shit talking. Either way I'm sure the next big will include a match up between McGregor, Masvidal, Khabib and Gaethje and I'd like to see any of them fight each other really.

If McGregor can fly back to the US then Khabib certain will, Nate Diaz and McGregor is the right fight and let Gaethje and Khabib fight out which will be a great fight.

Well it could, but Gaethje will probably be next in line for Khabib now since he has the belt and I think that's the fight Dana said will likely happen next. The only way it wont is if one of them would rather fight Conor but I can't see that and Khabib and Gaethje should probably go for the belt. Either of them could fight McGregor after that but there was talks of McGregor fighting Masvidal. McGregor was telling Diaz to 'sign the contract' a day or two ago but Dana White said there was no negotiations between them so it was likely shit talking. Either way I'm sure the next big will include a match up between McGregor, Masvidal, Khabib and Gaethje and I'd like to see any of them fight each other really.

Still surprised that Tony had lost. I thought that he will play as usual, hold a lot of strikes, wait till opponent ran out of stamina and win.
But yesterday... Maybe this lost is because he did not fight for a long time? Maybe he was unsettled with all that covid-19, events being cancelled, then organised again and that kind of stuff. I didnt see fire in his eyes, he looked so disappointed or sad during the fight (imho). Maybe his mental problem returned?

Tony is getting old now like Donald Cerrone. Great fighters but both past their prime and they're going to struggle against the younger fighters. I'm sure Fergeson would do much better with Connor than Cowboy did and maybe that will be the next match up as it looks like Gaethje will be fighting Khabib unless McGregor steps in for that but I can't see that happening.

Well, base on what I see and was shock of the result I can say that the Tony Ferguson Vs Justin Gaethje should never have happened in my opinion first of all Tony Ferguson was expecting Khabib Nurmagomedov so he has trained to counter Nurmagomedov and not Gaethje Tony has a slick Submission game that can give Khabib a problem but against Gaethje that is a big problem for Ferguson, and we can see who is really dominating the fight.

UFC 249 was great event to watch.
Single sport that I could watch and enjoy, and despite lack of crowd and weird silence, I was amazed by Francis Ngannou KO and main event.

Looks like Tony was fighting shark Grin

Awful injury, huge scar (probably has metal plastine now inside) and bruises like he had lots of torn muscles. This leg gonna be Gaethje main goal.

I find it always interesting, how much strikes fighters with such injuries could hold, before injury starts to show signals for stop.

After this fight, I'm convinced Tony has one of the best chins out there and that you can't count on KO against him. I'm looking forward to Khabib vs Gaethje but Gaethje has the same problem Conor did, poor cardio. You heard throughout the fight Gaethje's coaches yelling at him to stop putting so much energy into his punches which weren't hitting. Khabib is going to take you to the ground and and won't allow any of your punches to hit.

I'm rooting for an underdog win but Khabib is on another level and you need excellent cardio to stand a chance against him.

Actually for me that is what he did, his main plan is to squeezed Gaethje's stamina. That's why he keeps on punching and kicking the thighs of Gaethje in the early rounds. However, all those efforts seems not so worthy because he received a lot of hooks and jabs (take note, right on the face) in exchange of it. Even DC was so amazed that Tony's face able to endure those heavy punches at first without having a cut Cheesy

.

The ability of Tony Ferguson to take a punch surprised me as he usually knocks everyone out cold and the amount of damage he was able to take and still was not out cold until the referee stops the fight made him more fans.

Quote from: NavI_027 on May 11, 2020, 06:00:01 AM

There should be no excuses when you lose (and I'm glad that Tony admitted it). One thing is for sure, Gaethje beat him in a clean way, that's it

.

Dominick Cruz would disagree, even though he took 11 unanswered punches he was disputing the stoppage and even blamed the referee was smelling alcohol and cigarette Cheesy

Can someone please help me to find information about ppv subscriptions bought during UFC 249. Or at least how much was earned during that event. Just curious how much it cost ufc to hold the event without audience and if they managed to cut their losses with ppv and commercial.

Real shit!!!, Khabib Nurmagomedov vs TonyFerguson will never be happened. Cry

Let's us expect for the upcoming main events. I hope it will happen soon!!!

Justin Gaethje vs ConorMcGregor
Justin Gaethje vs Tony Ferguson (Part 2)
Justin Gaethje vs Khabib Nurmagomedov
ConorMcGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov (Part 2)

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson will always be an unrealized match up for the fans and with the defeat now against Justin Gaethje there is no way we will see that match up anytime soon. I was expecting Tony to win and the Khabib fight to happen next but now everything changed.

After Justin Gaethje winning the interim belt Conor McGregor is calling out Nate Diaz, the next fight for Justin Gaethje is Khabib Nurmagomedov for the title unification and it will be an interesting fight with the way Justin Gaethje performed against Tony it will be interesting to see the take down defense and the leg kicks and how Khabib will counter those.

Agreed! It has always been an unlucky pairing for uncle Dana hehehe.

In any case, I speculate El Cucuy might fight Dustin Poirier after this loss. Also, clearly next fight for Khabib is Justin. Who will be next for Conor, however? Certainly not Nate. This will not improve Conor's ranking and challenge the champion.
