Indeed, McGregor must climb from bottom to top before facing the camp once again. Well, that's good for him anyway to keep his fire burning Cheesy. The feeling of being an underdog is the best fuel for him to grind more (and I hope not only on striking but now mainly on ground lol). I also don't think beating Cowboy is enough for him to get a title shot.~
He said so himself that he isn't there yet during his octagon interview after he KO'd Cowboy. That statement alone suggests that he is extremely motivated to get back into the top spot. Aside from the record of knocking out guys in three different divisions, I think he is also trying to be a three division champion. All he needs is one or two more fights for WW title contention.

Khabib might not be interested in the rematch as he defeated Conor without a shadow of doubt but i am expecting them to rematch next year or the year end card.
Khabib isn't interested but his father is. The old man means business and even talks about getting Mayweather.

I reckon that Conor should make him interested. Fight Justin Gaethje on lightweight or welterweight and then fight Jorge Masvidal on welterweight. A victory on Jorge would light his star brighter and cause Khabib to be very jealous and fight hehehhe.

Hah!  Looks like the thread is having a life of own, nice!  Keep 'em coming.  And I think it made fans out of some of you along the way (even if some of you don't put some action into it).  That's always good.  Wink

Conor McGregor is a top contender in the lightweight division as he is ranked number 3 behind Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier and since Dustin already fought Khabib and Tony Ferguson is scheduled to fight next and the UFC wants Khabib and Conor rematch once against because it is a big day at the box office as they will be reaping millions and they love the money, Khabib might not be interested in the rematch as he defeated Conor without a shadow of doubt but i am expecting them to rematch next year or the year end card.
Well, of course Dan will pull this off Roll Eyes. Business is business, if we want it then that's what he will give because it means money *kaching kaching. But talking about with the possible result, I think Khabib will still dominate him if and only if McGregor can not find ways to counter the ground skills of Khabib; especially that he is bulkier now, I wonder if he's cardio despite of shifting of weight classes is not a problem at all.

Well, it's still a long road. Let's see first whether El Cucuy could bring The Eagle's first taste of loss. I'm so excited Smiley.

Khabib already answered. He does not want to fight Conor for any price. I reckon Conor should prove his greatness again before he can make Khabib look at him hehehe. I am the most loyal Conor fan, however, the fight versus Cowboy is nothing to make him rematch Khabib.

I also don't think beating Cowboy is enough for him to get a title shot. Don't get me wrong, I'm also a fan of Cowboy but let's admit that he is not a worthy opponent anymore due to his age maybe Grin. If Conor really want to face Khabib again, he should kill bigger fish like Ferguson or at least impress the crowd by defeating fighters in featherweight division.

Conor should win some fights in the 155 pound division before going for the rematch, if he really wanted to rematch Khabib he would have done that in the 155 pound division against Cerrone but instead he opted for 170 pound division which is a mystery, may be he is looking for more options and the funny thing is that after the fight Conor did not talk about or called out Khabib but Dana White was pushing the rematch Cheesy.

I have seen a crazy video on Youtube and that is Saudi Arabia has offered $100 Million Dollar for Khabib Nurmagomedov to fight Connor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather on a fight, I know that this could be a different story but I am shocked that Saudis would want to see a fight and is offering something Million Dollar Money to see this fight, I know that the UFC 249 is on April Versus Nurmagomedov and Ferguson but I really can't wait to see that in action, plus many news on the video about the fight of Jon Jones VS Dominick Reyes, plus Masvidal is getting personal.

Well, in a recent interview when asked about the rematch with Conor for 100 million dollars, Khabib laughed and said:

“Why do I need that kind of money. There are so many organizations for example, there is not only football for the blind, there are Sambo and other sports. Let [UFC] give it to them, if they don’t know what to do with the money. But giving me $100 million for me to beat up that idiot again? I don’t think it’s rational.”

JJ is extremely motivated for this fight alright but I want to give credit to DR for getting getting him riled up like that. I have never seen JJ so aggressive in pre-fight interviews and face offs since DC. It's not easy to play mind games against someone like JJ but I think DR has gotten into his head.
The fight game is all about mental strength and confidence and Jon Jones always thrive when he create an enmity against the opponent he usually fights better and with the fights against Anthony Smith and Thiago Santos he was not that motivated to finish the fight but i am expecting a stoppage in this fight.

Hearing JJ talks about being disrespectful makes me laugh. Someone who has gamed the sport using substance is disrespectful.
Jones wants to motivate himself and have an enmity towards the opponent to motivate himself as i said earlier but the substance abuse is just because of his wild life style he had and the contents were micro grams which will not help in performance and it will get into your body through contaminated substance.

he can win. he seem precise to his target, i'm sure you also watched hi previous fights so its also possible that jones will have trouble difficulty.
No doubt. He is good really at counter-punching which is why I said Jones should drag the fight and let Reyes push forward to tire him out.

Quote
but seeing he has more experience i'd bet for him still and  as long as he has the poking fingers he has more advantage.
So the move that will make the difference in this fight is his signature eye poke huh?  Cheesy
Well, he has mastered it and became a blackbelt at that. Maybe he could also open a school and teach pro-level eye poking  Huh Cool

JJ says THIAGO SANTOS was 2-3x the man DR is- DR might be in trouble

Watch Helwani and Anthony Smith interview.  Smith said Reyes has absolutely no idea what he's getting into vs Jones (based on Smith's own experience ofc).  

Pumped for the bout!  We got a guy scamming himself that he could KO Jones vs the master scammer himself.  Grin

UFC 247 Countdown:  Jones vs Reyes

My bet is on Jones because I don't see Reyes keeping up the pace with him even with if he says he is more athletic than Jones. I saw the promo on youtube and a few other videos and Jones is still a beast like he always has and he looked more ready than Reyes.

The one thing that could make Reyes the favorite of this fight would be his record that speaks for itself 15-0-0 and Jones should take this very seriously as Reyes will give everything he has to beat him.

UFC 247 Countdown:  Jones vs Reyes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssgm2HEo48Q&t=1029s
Men, Reyes is impressive. He has the height and the range that can match that of Jon Jones. I still remember the Gustafson vs. Jones I where the reigning champ had difficulty with Gustafson's reach. Here comes Reyes now who, I think, is the most technical striker and probably with the most KO power but with an untested endurance.

Yeah, the first Gustafson vs. Jones, I'm sure majority here thinks that Gustafson could have won that fight.

I don't know but the fight will all come down to the right strategy. Jones has to survive the early rounds and drag the fight then has to really rely on his ground and pound game in the later rounds. Reyes, on the other hand, has to be the one to initiate the attacks early on and watch out for take downs.

Love to see Reyes confidence, so it will be really a big test of Jones here the first round will be critical for both. Reyes coming hard trying to dictate the tempo and Jones defending and using leg kicks to slow down Reyes, so let's see which strategy will win in this fight.
