I do agree with this point, there is no way Conor deserves a second chance and after all he only had 2 fights in 155 pound division and he was completely dominated by Khabib and he will not get a rematch immediately but eventually they will fight if Conor come back and fight and get to title contention.

I am sure Khabib will not bother a drop of blood or two, i have seen Javier Mendez telling that when Khabib came to the gym initially he never used to wear protective gears nor mouth piece even while training and even if his coach ask him to do so he will never listen because when he competed in combat sambo there was groin strikes and head butt and Khabib fought and never got defeated and he was not comfortable wearing all the protective gears and that shows his mentality.

I'm with thekool1s.  I think McGregor needs to prove himself first (vs Gaethje, Poirier, Ferguson) before being given the biggest fight in his division.  He's not the fighter he was imho...  'You can't train in silk pajamas'.  Lolol.

But I'm willing to take all that aside, let him fight Khabib for the entertainment value of the build up. 

Whoa! I know what you are thinking! hope it can be pure submission as well, but anyways my girl Michelle Waterson really has an amazing body and beauty as well but I guess Joanna Jedrzejczyk has the upper hand when it comes to reaching, but I hope Waterson has much experience when it comes to fighters that have a height and reach advantage than her, but I guess Jedrzejczyk outrank Waterson when it comes Muay Thai and kickboxing background against Waterson that are only versed on Karate, Joanna had a large odds than Michelle but I am still hoping that Michelle Waterson can pull win if she can take this fight to the ground with her Wrestling and Submission moves, But Joanna had a good striking advantage so Waterson needs to be clever in making a move and pounding her to the ground.

Anyway, I am still going with Michelle Waterson against the higher odds for Joanna if Waterson would win it is a big win for me as well.

Everyone wants a piece of Khabib. They almost fought but Max still wants that fight https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/ufc/max-holloway-explains-why-he-needs-to-fight-khabib-nurmagomedov-for-his-legacy/?amp

This sure is interesting to watch too. I don't know if Holloway improved his ground game though. He's been submitted before.

Thank you for posting news...   it will keep me motivated to watch here.
I hope there will be some more submissions and less punching...

Tapping out like McChicken eh?? Thought this was gonna last at least a few rounds but I guess not


LMAO! You guys will never learn will ya? 10 came before and all of them got mauled! I know who to bet on in the next one as well


Only if he 'proves' himself. Let's not go there yet.

Good to see Cub fighting again. He was fun to watch some years back and I thought he could become a UFC champion.

Ok mate fair enough, im done discussing with Khabib nuthuggers which claim you aren't looking at things from a neutral POV. Let's just see how Khabib handles Tony Ferguson. He's never been cut, let's see if he can deal with some massive cuts because he will get caught on Tony's elbows eventually. I will not comment on Conor further. But like it or not, there's a rematch happening in 2020, mostly because Khabib's dad said they will give him the rematch in Russia. We will find out one way or another if Conor ever had a chance. Everyone acted as if Conor never had a chance to beat Nate on the second fight specially at 170lbs and he did what was suppose to be impossible, which is why I can't rule out a win on the rematch even if by a low margin.

You have got to be fucking kidding me!! He did "good" only cuz he fucking cheated like 6 times during the fight. You need to put Connor's dick aside and see the fight from a neutral pov mate. He doesn't deserve a 2nd chance after the way he got fucking mauled.


For Khabib it isn't, it's his fucking life. I would suggest you watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnOVaDaGslQ to see where Khabib comes from. He is a fucking killer and the environment he grew up in can't be compared with anything that he gets in the ring... smdh...

What's so stupid about giving Conor a small chance? You guys are deluded. Just because he had 2 losses (against the best UFC fighter right now after a big break, and against the best fighter ever) doesn't mean Conor is now a bum. We've had Andy Ruiz beating Anthony Joshua and Otto Wallin almost beating Tyson Fury due a TKO massive cut. Fighting is a very complex game, things can go wrong very fast. You can't never be safe in your bettings. All im offering you is that it is not outside of the realm of possibility that Conor can win with the right adjustments. Conor did better than all of his previous opponents if you actually look at the fight from a neutral pov. Im not saying he will win, im saying it's impossible, what part of this can't you understand. If you are so sure, then bet your entire net worth into Khabib winning to prove me wrong.

Lets us not forget the KARATE HOTTIE is also competing and is the MAIN Event


I dont think she will win but I do think she will lose looking HOT 

The mix of wrestling, Judo and combat Sambo along with Pankration is what is making Khabib successful in MMA, all of the wrestlers in AKA has talked highly of Khabib and even Daniel Cormier who is himself an Olympic level wrestler in the heavyweight division said that no one is able to compete with Khabib even in the gym and so does many of the high level fighters always praise Khabib about his skills.

Remember that he was The North American Grappling Association Champion (NAGA) too which is a high level competition for grappling.
He never competed in amateur wrestling and hence you cannot compare in the competition sector but he will be a high level wrestler and one thing you need to understand is that he never tasted defeat in his entire combat career.

I saw a video recently that Cain Velasquez debuted in WWE  . So his fighting days are over as he is concentrating on entertaining aspect.

There are more interesting match ups for Israel Adesanya and he has his hands full as there are a lot of talented fighters waiting in the ranks to face him before trying his luck in a different weight division, fighting against Jon Jones right now will be a suicide, Adesanya has the opportunity to make a legacy and be a dominant champion in his weight division and then think about facing anyone above his weight class.

I am not thrilled with upcoming UFC Fight Night 161 Jedrzejczyk vs. Waterson, in Florida.
There are no heavyweight fights or any specific fighter that I follow...
Do you have any news and predicitons?

People denying this fact are just living in lalaland. Conor McGregor hatting has become a mental disease in the MMA world. They live in an alternative reality in which they argue Conor McGregor isn't a draw anymore, when he is still the number 1 PPV attraction by a mile.


I also have big doubts he can do it. He has all the resources in the world, best minds in the game to tweak his stamina, but I believe ultimately it comes down to genetics. I still believe Conor can get the job done even if by a small margin, if he tweaks certain things.


Khabib is a great grappler but people are missing the fact that he isn't an elite traditional grappler. He would get beaten in a straight grappling matchup against purebreed American elite wrestlers. What he does is a special mix of grecoroman, wrestling and sambo. He wouldn't be as effective without having the net. I would like him to fight in a ring, things would be very different.


Dustin rematch woudl be cool but I doubt we'll see it. I understand why Conor wanted Frankie Edgar. He wants people that fight as similar as Khabib as possible and Dustin is a very different fighter. But then again he doesn't have any fights that could be pretty huge even if any fight Conor is huge, but Dusting rematch is the biggest story maker.

Looks like this is a logical match to set up by Dana. Those two are really going at it in the social media so it makes sense for them to fight.

Costa said that he can easily beat Adesanya and he is very confident of himself. Love to see the press conference here, and hear the insults. 

We're not even sure if Adesanya will remain undefeated next year. He will probably fight two or three more fights to defend his title provided he remains free of serious injuries.

A Jones-Miocic fight would be interesting. A Jones-Comier at heavyweight would be nice too but I think we've seen enough of them.

Nice records... I didn't know her. A great BJJ fighter obviously. It will be hard for Ribas to beat her IMO
