@hackahammer. Daniel Cormier is not scared of losing his title. He is an athlete and a competitor in the truest sense so there is no question about his heart. The injury is already confirmed by Daniel's camp. He suffered a torn abductor tendon in his groin when he was training.

Hello.

       I think Cormier vs Johnson match is less anticipated rather than if Jon Jones to face him. It will be Cormier this match, then announce he want to fight jones again. That fight would be worth following and betting. Hate to admit but yes Irish McGregor is the man of UFC right now, wonder if the match Floyd wanted against McGregor will push thru?

Expecting a good match but was cancelled out because of Daniel Cormier's injury he should forfeit rather than a reason. I don't know if the Danile is scared of losing his belt or was over trained to get his injury. We all know that Conor McGregor is the face of UFC for now. Regarding on Floyd Mayweather against Conor McGregor I think this will never happen. By the way a recent news, "Conor McGregor is no longer the UFC featherweight champion" just saw on my notification a while ago.

Heres one good thing about 1 fighter getting injured, UFC can choose someone who wants to replace injured figthers and thia also hypes the event as well. Im checking the twitter accounts of UFC fighters and no one has come forward to take over. I remember seeing fighters tweeting Dana White telling him that he is just within the vicity so he can fight as a replacement.

It's all over the news.  This blows. 

Daniel Cormier injured, out of UFC 206 main event vs. Anthony Johnson
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/11/25/13747626/mma-news-daniel-cormier-injured-out-of-ufc-206-main-event-vs-anthony-johnson

So I guess we can skip 206 and then go straight waiting for 207 then?  The potential value creation of the event just went down.  And I don't think people will be buying tickets and PPV now even if Johnson still fights without Cormier.

Bad news. Daniel Cormier got injured in training and had to pull out from the fight. This now leaves Rumble Johnson without an opponent and the UFC has not found a replacement yet according to the news. Maybe a good option is to find an opponent at heavy weight and make the fight in that weight class.

What the heck are you serious? Daniel Cormier vs Rumble Johnson will be cancelled? Maybe Cormier got scared that he will be knocked out on the canvas. I am very disappointed, I was really looking forward to this fight and I am sure this will be a big hit to UFC 206. This is a big joke, pulling due to injury? Come on, How about Anderson "The Spider" Silva vs Rumble Johnson, make this happen. Let us wait for the notice who will be the opponent for Johnson.

No McGregor bullshit this time, percect. Just pure fight not marketing.
do you still think Mcgregor is still talk after seeing the performance at UFC 205 if so you are just a dump fool . Conor Mcgregor is real as it gets and he is probably the best fighter in the world .

That is why I love Conor McGregor we walk the talk itself, he already proved at UFC 205 and dominated New York. I am looking forward also for his fight if he is going to challenge himself at welterweight or defend his belt. In my opinion, I would like to defend his belt at least once  Roll Eyes

For the upcoming UFC 206 this will be massive looking forward to Ronda Rousey for her comeback against Amanda Nunes. Especially the fight of Daniel Cormier vs Anthony Johnson 2. This will be awesome. Waiting for the poster. 
Well concerning connor, i think he's already proven that he can live up to every inch of the hype. Lets face it, he guy is that good. Though i still think there should be a mcgregor-aldo 2. Now my bets on rumble this time. I don't know what happened to him the last fight but i think we'll see something different this time.

The battle of the Light Heavy Weights is getting closer now and what more to add to the excitement than to watch the first fight between these two giants.  It's also good for review purposes and see what each fighter could have done better or what you think they will do on fight night.  It also makes for a good discussion.  Enjoy!  Smiley

Rashad Evans is once again not allowed to fight in UFC 206. The Ontario commission, like the commission at New York, will not allow him to fight because of a suspected brain damage shown in his MRI scans. He was also pulled out of UFC 205. Now Tim Kennedy is left without an opponent once again. It would be better for Rashad to retire in my opinion. After being disallowed by 2 commissions that is already a sign that others will not allow him to fight also.

Have Fun )@@( Stay Safe
I wonder if Connor could go as high as welterwight and fight for all possible tittles. If someone can do it then that's McGregor. Sure, he will need to be packing some extra fat but he can reach those 170 lbs and fight Tyron at his weight class. Maybe even push for middleweight. There have been 5'9'' guys fighting in those divisions before. If the juice is needed then he should do some steroids and try not to get caught. Im sure everyone is on steroids already anyway.
Conor could possibly challenge Tyron woodley for the belt but i dont think the UFC will allow that because he has not even defeneded his 145 pound belt even once,so either they will force him to drop the belt if he wanted to challenge the 170 pound division and now a days you cannot get away with steriods with the kind of testing they undergo in UFC and Connor would not do that because the image he created till now will perish .

@thejaytiesto. We can now see that Conor is a natural light weight. I believe he can do it if he can get the balance right. This needs time and he has to leave bantam weight for good if he really wanted to progress to welter weight and seek the championship there. He has to eliminate his gassing issues and also has to develop his power and speed at a heavier weight division. It is very possible with Conor because he is a phenomenal athlete.

It's gonna be big for sure, but I doubt that it'll be bigger than 205.  Let's face it McGregor is the biggest UFC star right now after making history by winning and having two titles at the same time.  As Dana White said, he's special.  There's also some drama creeping from the media making some noise on a McGregor vs Woodley scenario.  If there's one fighter's draw that could beat 205's numbers, it's still Conor, as ironic as that sounds.
If ever McGregor vs Woodley happens and if Dana allowed Conor to hold those titles at the same time, then it's another history in the making since Woodley is the Welterweight champ while Conor is currently holding the Lightweight title that he took from Eddie Alvarez and the Featherweight title that he won from Jose Aldo but the question is if Woodley would accept the fight if Dana scheduled McGregor vs Woodley. Last UFC 205 Woodley is so upset of the turn out.

I think Ronda Rousey return will make great numbers, maybe even bigger than McGregor. There is an huge hype surrounding her comeback, because we know that if she loses again her career is over since she goes mentally insane when she losses.

Also McGregor has been calling out Tyron Woodley which is bigger than him, they are the same height but Tyron is built more like a Mike Tyson type of person. I wonder if they may end up fighting. That would be pretty epic to see.
