Very interesting, so UFC is really setting up a rematch with Khabib for big money.

The new management only wants huge PPV fights as they already spent over $4 billion and they need to make the profit and hence the real hardcore fans also suffer with these decisions.

I wouldn't be surprised if Conor wins and Cerrone taking a dive. UFC/Boxing are all in the business of making money know. So probably watch this one on TV though. Wanted to see how Conor's stamina are doing. We all know that he usually gasses out in the late round.

I do not think that Conor McGregor could sort his stamina issues basically because it is all genetic but with hard work he can improve some but not expecting a rapid change but this is a fight that Conor is forcing Cerrone to come up in weight and hence Conor will have the advantage in this fight.

This rumor sound so childish. I dont believe that Cerrone (or any other fighter) is more interested in getting just money, than to get fame and prove that he is the greatest.

It is indeed a childish rumor created by the MMA media and the social media, if any sports person take money to loose a fight then they will face legal action and possible ban, there were fixed fight in Japan and Pride was famous for that as it was controlled by the Yakuza.

^ That sounds like a rumor made up in some other forum. McGregor chose Cerrone so that he wouldn't need to pay him to throw the fight cos he's the easy fight. Lol.

It is a good match up for Conor McGregor to return back and get his confidence back and it is the only fight available for him and the rest are killers and a tough one for McGregor.

Cerrone was cherry picked, but this could go wrong. McGregor is once again inactive. And we do not know how much fire McGregor has after tasting that $100 million payday from Mayweather jr. I don't think Connor still has that determination and work ethic unlike before when he hungry as fuck.

Conor Mc Gregor just had one win in the 155 pound division and i have not idea why he is taking a fight at 170 pound and the pictures he released in social media looks like he has bulked up and if that is the case he might be focusing on getting the third belt but then Dana White comes out and tell that Conor will get a rematch with Khabib if he wins confuses things on the direction Conor is going. If Conor is fighting again he needs to focus on fighting with the same intensity he did in the past, if not he will be retiring soon as getting punched in the face is not a great feeling Cheesy

The rumor is that Donald Cerrone will be paid good enough to loose the fight, the reason for these rumors is because they are fighting at Welterweight and even Dana White said if he defeats Cerrone he will be getting a crack at a rematch between Khabib

If Cerrone will focus on takedowns, then maybe McGregor will gas's out. But if he will fight the way McGregor dictates it would be in Conor's favor. This fight will depend on how each camp prepare their strategy and deliver it perfectly come fight night.

Cerrone is not focus on takedowns, he would rather fight standing up and use his leg kicks. So I think that will be his strategy here and try to bait Conor and counter. That is if he will caught Conor. But we all know that Conor has somewhat have a decent defense fighting standing up so it will be very interesting who will dictate the fight in the first couple of rounds.

So Conor could gas out if Cerrone will used a pace that Conor is not used to or at least test his ring rust.

^ We'll see... He seems dead set on getting that rematch vs Khabib tho. And if he wins the Cerrone match, he'll be first get dibs vs Khabib after Ferguson (leap frogging Gaethje). Funny how that works. Lol.

I will give an edge if the opponent is a striker to Conor McGregor as his worst enemy is a wrestling based fighter like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson but if he is planning to take on Leon Edwards which is 170 pounds division i doubt whether Conor McGregor will be having the same knockout power as Nate Diaz was able to take his punches how about a fighter who is in the top ten in the division, i bet he will not knock them out.

Well, I am not saying that this fight can be possible but I just want McGregor to perish on Edwards's hands but yes Leon Edwards is in a different league and I say there is no seem the brilliant thing that McGregor can surely have a fighting chance against a wrestler in Khabib's kind of level, Well I will not sure expect something like a fight to happen.

Quote from: YuginKadoya on December 21, 2019, 04:23:19 PM

It was a short notice fight and hence you cannot come to a conclusion just by this fight. I have not seen many Korean Zombie fights as he is not a PPV fighter.

Well maybe you're right and maybe a rematch is needed so it may conclude that Korean Zombie really have the wits to take on a different caliber fighter but we can not neglect some things he did and the experience he gains in the past and I think he still has a long way before making it to another division.

Donald Cerrone responds to conspiracies that he’ll take a dive against Conor McGregor

“Hell no, I’m not bowing down,” Cerrone said. “There’s a bunch of sh*t going around, people keep telling me ‘I heard you’re getting paid to take a dive.’ There wouldn’t be enough money in the world for someone to pay me to take a dive. I could never look myself in the mirror if somebody paid me to take a dive. Sh*t, never happen.

^ ^ You can't take away anything from Edgar imo. He took the bout on short notice when Brian Ortega pulled out.

It is true that Frankie Edgar took the fight in short notice and that too for the main event and he took that chance and did not went his way and the funny thing was his hair style as i have not seen him in a retro get up Cheesy

, we might see Frankie going down to 135 pound in his next fight. Now Korean Zombie is calling for a title shot but i think he should wait as Max Holloway might get his rematch next against Alexander Volkanovski.

LMAO the hair! Yup! That was my first reaction too. Still, I think the bout could be more competitive if he had a full training camp.

But I think Edgar won't get any more title shots in any weight class he's going. His best years are behind him.

It was a short notice fight and hence you cannot come to a conclusion just by this fight. I have not seen many Korean Zombie fights as he is not a PPV fighter.

I felt bad for Frankie Edgar. He is old and is nearing his 40s. And a late notice fight made it worse. Props to the Korean Zombie for doing his job well. I would love him to fight Valkanovski. Max can have a tune-up and then fights the winner.

Korean Zombie dominated this fight 100%
Easy win for him.

Right, it was a complete domination from the Korean Zorean, no disrespect to Frankie Edgar but I think he needs to contemplate about his next options (not just his hair).

Give the Korean Zombie the next title shot, I think he deserves it.

Well I am just saying that I want to see a McGregor and Edwards fight in the future if that would be possible to happen.

It will be a really huge fight, Leon Edwards is British and Conor McGregor is Irish and the fans will be crazy and we might even see the fans fighting each other in the lobby but the big problem is that Leon Edwards is a natural 170 pound fighter who does not cut much weight and Conor McGregor might walk around at that weight and if they fight it will not be an easy fight for Conor McGregor as Leon is a monster and his legit defeat was against Kamaru Usman in 2015 and after that he is on a winning streak.

Yes! that is what I want to see to happen but I want McGregor to have a fighting chance against Leon Edwards maybe he can pull out a stance knowing how Leon Edwards very well but in my opinion as well I want Leon Edwards to win this and make McGregor knows his place, I never was a fan of McGregor and I think that he really got his attitude that is why I want somebody to shut him up for good, Sorry for all Conor fans here but that is all my opinion Khabib Nurmagomedov all the way!

And regarding Fight Night 165 between Frankie Edgar VS Chan Sung Jung, I think the Korean Zombie is a total badass and Edgar is out of his league against his opponent this time After his recent defeat against Brian Ortega and Max Holloway Frankie Edgar should think this up and might want to change into another career or maybe think about it well that is just my opinion, and having a lot experience than The Korean Zombie with 31 Matches right now It is clear to have a Retirement pull as Ben Askren did, I think he had an upcoming fight against Cody Sandhagen in a Bantamweight fight next month but because of TKZ's TKO win over him this is a major set back, and I don't likely to see a retirement for him but his tweet just give me an idea that he might pull something like that.
