^  It's actually gonna be something like a game of chess that I think everybody will find interesting...  Not just the hardcore fans.

Chess match I think is a perfect description of what's about to happen. Some casual fans, who were used to seeing brawl & KO's, will still find it boring though.

Distracted that's what I see in him after he became famous and offered a lot of endorsements.

Yes, he's kind of a distracted fighter right now. It looks like he could not maintain his ego right now and that's what happens to most fighters who became famous and financially successful.

If Conor McGregor would fight with Khabib for 1000 times... he would lose all 1000 times,
and he would cry and beg for mercy again... he turned to jelly when he became rich
Distracted that's what I see in him after he became famous and offered a lot of endorsements. Take a look at Khabib, with his good record in MMA his training is still consistent and you will seldom see posts or articles about him partying, compared to Conor, most of the articles or photos you see about him is how he party nowadays and his endorsements. Not sure if he is secretly training to maintain his shape at the very least.

Khabib is dominating everyone but if McGregor could land a lucky punch flush in the face like Michael Johnson it will test his chin without a doubt
The feet of Conor was like a balloon as per the words of the Irish king if not he would have landed that left hand  Tongue. I want to see the rematch in Russia as Conor called out Khabib in Russia because i am wondering what the odds will be this time, last time the odds were pretty decent but after getting mauled by the bear it is highly unlikely we will get a competitive odds but it will be another highest grossing event for UFC, in my opinion Conor has to face Nate Diaz in 155 pound division and that will be another huge pay day for Conor.

If Conor McGregor is looking for a rematch against Khabib i can bet any amount that it will be the last fight for McGregor as he will be defeated easily once again and his stock will come down, he needs to fight somebody else before re-matching with Khabib, with a beating like he got the last time no one needs to see that fight again but for the McGregor fans i am sure they believe that McGregor could knock Khabib out cold, but it will not happen  Grin.
Khabib is dominating everyone but if McGregor could land a lucky punch flush in the face like Michael Johnson it will test his chin without a doubt, in the first fight Khabib was really careful in the first round not to fall for his bait and he was circling away from his strong hand but UFC likes to see that rematch because it will generate a huge amount of money and they could promote their animosity very well Cheesy.

Of all the countries in the world he wants to hold a press conference in Moscow and this is to make another media attention and to lure the media for a rematch against Khabib.

Main Card (ESPN)
Welterweight:  Demian Maia vs Ben Askren 

This two are great with their submissions Both Demian Maia And Ben Askren, In my opinion, both really knows what are they doing, and the recent defeat of Askren from Jorge Masvidal really shook him with the flying knee, I guess this is just a miscalculation on Ben Askren's part, I think he's got good records until Masvidal put a red mark on it But If we look both men Ben Askren can sure wrestle against Demian Maia, I guess Askren's strength can sure be seen here, but let's just see what happened between both fighters that had the same caliber of technique.

I think I will bet on Askren for this one.

Also, Conor will hold a press conference in Moscow! It might only be for Proper 12, however, I hope he addresses his return to MMA and talk about Khabib heheheheee.

The guy knows how to stir things up. Dana is loving this for sure.


My Lord, Maia vs Askren interesting and both boring to see match  Grin
I’m gonna cheer for litecoin man in this fight Smiley
Many MMA purist will still love this even if there's no knockout. It's always nice to see people battle for position on the ground looking to submit their opponent. For me, that's better than the usual ground and pound.

Jiujitsu practitioners will disagree hehe. Who is the litecoin man?
It will be a high level grappling contest and i am waiting for this match, Ben Askren is a high level wrestler and Demian Maia is a high level 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and ADCC World Championship, only age is the disadvantage for Demian Maia it will be a really good contest for true fans.
Ben Askren is the litecoin guy as he is pro crypto for a very long time and an investor in the market and he usually discuss about it in his podcast.

Also, Conor will hold a press conference in Moscow! It might only be for Proper 12, however, I hope he addresses his return to MMA and talk about Khabib heheheheee.

Conor McGregor will be in Moscow, Russia for a press conference this week. The Irishman recently posted on social media that he obtained a Russian visa for this very reason.

This fight shows whether Askren is able to compete with the elite fighters in the UFC and if he fails this time he might be thinking about retiring.
It will be a big test for Askren as he is coming back after his first loss in his career and that too was a brutal one and many of the fighters will be cautious when returning back but luckily for Ben he is not fighting a striker and this fight will show the ground capabilities of both fighters and it is not that easy to defeat Demian Maia. I have not seen Ben fighting any elite fighters, this is a good test for his career.

I think some people itt are forgetting how good Jon Jones really is just cos he had an off day or prolly used the wrong strategy vs Thiago Silva.  Just saying...
Even if Jon Jones have a bad day he will find a way to win, Jones never took Thiago Silva down and may be because of his ego to fight a striker without taking him down and that shows his confidence but the judges gave the fight a split decision and the injuries Thiago Silva sustained during the fight makes them close.

Anyway Askren vs Maia this weekend...  Grapplers heaven.  Smiley

If BONES JONES Will return it will be to face a man like REYES who is now in the spotlight and good for making money
I dont think he will want to return and make a defense versus someone who he has already beat but instead he will welcome new challengers

Of course doesn't make sense for him to make a comeback fight to a fighter he already defeated, he already clean up the division.

However, Reyes is slowly rising in the ranks and this could pose a challenge for Jones to return in the right and prove that he is still the man to beat in the LHW division.

I reckon that Jonny Walker is in need of 1 more fight after fighting Corey Anderson on November 2 before given a fight versus the champion. He is ranked only 10th, Corey Anderson is only 7th.
There is no other fighter to face Jon Jones other than a rematch with Thiago Santos and when the media asked to Dana White about Dominick Reyes facing Jon Jones he never gave a concrete answer and that means he will be waiting to see the results of Walker and Corey Anderson and then have the leverage to negotiate with Walker or Corey and Reyes and who gives the best rate will be facing Jones  Grin. Jon Jones had a busy year and not sure when he is planning to return, if he cleans out the division then he can move to heavyweight where he has some good challenges.

Dana should organize a rematch between Thiago Silva versus Jon Jones and include Dominic Reyes versus Jonny Walker as the undercard. The winners of both can fight on the next event hehehe. Which will be Jonny Bones versus Jonny Walker.
I do not want to see Dominic Reyes and Johnny Walker fight each other now as i want the UFC to prepare them to fight Jon Jones as there are not many worthy contenders to face Jones and the betting line will always be shitty for him, i want the undefeated Dominic Reyes and Johnny Walker to face when they are hot so that we will get a better betting line  Wink and there is no doubt Thiago Silva should get his rematch with Jones as he stood with Jones till the end even after suffering major injuries during the fight.

^  Lolol.  The UFC should make a custom belt for them just like how they made a custom belt for Masvidal and Diaz.  Grin
Now the time is here to make the belt as Chris Weidman is also knocked out cold in the first round while Luke Rockhold was somehow able to survive the first round as he was knocked out in the second round Grin, lets name it the Ex Middleweight CC belt where CC stands for champions who are not able to cut weight and there is no division they can go to  Cheesy.

I only watched the final bout, Chris Weidman started strong trying to take Dominick Reyes down and on another attempt he just cracked a perfectly timed left hook in the chin and instantly the legs of Weidman gave out and two more hammer fist to finish it up and Dominick Reyes called out Jon Jones, looks like there are some worthy contenders now in the light heavyweight to challenge Jones.

And to think Weidman was talking about shocking the world again if given a shot vs Jon Jones before the fight...  Lol.  Nope, he's done.

Edit:  Results.


WOW thank you for the results, I wasn't aware Chris Weidman was put KO in 103 seconds. That's a little bit humiliating for him, I hope he will be able to overcome this at the psychological level...  Undecided I will watch the fight to see this fast KO.

Perhaps Jones might not fight Reyes as of now,  because he still thinks Reyes needs to win more fights before getting to face him
If not Dominick Reyes who will be the rightful challenger for Jon Jones in the division, either he has to move up to heavyweight division or another rematch with Thiago Santos, if he moves to the heavyweight division then there are many fancy match ups and with Anthony Johnson making a come back i hope we will see a match up with him too but with the huge size Anthony Johnson is in he will be fighting in the heavyweight division.
