^ Lololol. Ah. They guy who loves thowing dollys, chairs, water bottles, whatever is a sociopath. The other guy who sprinkles holy water on his wife and who could hear voices in the walls is like totally insane. I hope he gets better soon.

In that case, a fight between these two loonies may be the most exciting fight of the year. Some of the price money can be used for their psychiatric treatment, and the rest can be used to compensate for all those broken chairs and equipment.

Lols, you guys give me a good chuckle reading your replies. Grin

. Is that the effect of getting too much punch in the face? Grin

^^^ I think Tony Ferguson is currently undergoing psychiatric treatment. Check this:

If that is the case, then he is ineligible for participating in UFC, right? Or do you want some mentally unstable guy to fight Khabib?

Huh? And why would I want to see Ferguson fight if he wasn't fit? Of course I wanna see fit, peak Ferguson to fight Khabib. It's like one of the most anticipated matches of all time and it seems always jinxed everytime it's scheduled.

Nope, don't think so. Khabib is just way too strong and he's just gonna throw Gaethje around like a rag doll imo.

I'd like to see Gaethje go for Iaquinta then Khabib if he wins tho.

Hmm.. right now no one has a fair chance of defeating Khabib. You are right, may be it will be better for Gaethje to fight against Iaquinta this year. I just checked the most recent UFC rankings. Obviously Khabib Nurmagomedov is at #1 followed by Tony Ferguson. Al Iaquinta is at #5 and Justin Gaethje is at #9. BTW, do you know who s the next opponent for Khabib?

Wait for the ranking's update. Gaethje should be at 6 after winning vs Barboza.

And Iaquinta is fighting Cerrone (that's gonna be a good match), so I guess Gaethje could go for the winner of that match and then go for a title shot?

No idea on Khabib's next opponent. It should be Ferguson imo, but he has some personal issues to fix. They say he went insane or something... No April Fools. Cheesy

I really enjoyed the whole event which had some nice upsets.
Gaethje vs. Barboza was as expected with both fighters giving it all right from the start. Gaethje deserved this one, he touched his opponent a couple of times before knocking him down. Very spectacular !
Hermansson was impressive too, showing he's a complete fighter.
I also liked seeing Craig win with his triangle choke after being dominated the whole fight and taking this one with less than 40 seconds left.
Emmett's k.o. over Johnson was impressive too.
All and all, a very fun night.

Read what Javier Mendez has to say if there is a potential match between Gaethje and Khabib. Just like most of us think, Gaethje will offer nothing to the table to beat Khabib. We don't know if he likes to go to fight again, but I'm sure they are looking for money fights now.

Khabib is just an animal without a doubt but nothing can be predicted in a fight and anything can happen, if one punch connects properly that is the end of the fight and Gaethje is a really explosive fighter but when Khabib grabs you the fight is literally over, i would like to see Gaethje facing Antony Pettis and it will be a great fight without a doubt.

Didn't made a bet this time, but watched the highlights later. Edson Barboza lasted for a total of 63 seconds more than James Vick...

Justin Gaethje was simply outstanding.. and after the match, he was challenging Khabib Nurmagomedov!!! I would love to see Gaethje fighting against the Russian. Nurmagomedov has never lost a match... till now.. and if anyone has got any chance against him, it is going to be Gaethje.

Damn, I knew Gaethje will win this match, but I wasn't expected that Barbosa will be demolished like this one. As I have said, when Barbosa was somewhat 'damage' in the exchange, specially his right eye, you can see that he can't handle it mentally. But it looks like a poke to the eye to me. Anyways, good win for Gaethje.

Dana (i.e UFC) can survive without Conor (may be they'll lose a few hundred thousand Irish supporters). But can Conor survive without UFC? I don't know whether the rumors are true or not. If he is demanding the ownership shares, then I would say that he is bargaining too hard. Needs to be realistic about your demands...

The fact remains that Conor McGregor does not need to fight again in his life as he is a smart business man and he has diversified his portfolio into his proper twelve whiskey and he is making a huge profit as it is an instant hit in the market and making millions with that business alone and how about the hundred million he earned from his fight against Mayweather and other millions he earned in his MMA career. Do i think he is really retired and will never come back, i am sure he will be back to fight but he will dictate his terms.

The fight card was a really predictable one and i messed up with Ray Borg as i never expected him to be outclassed like this. Cry

Hah yes! Gaethje won! And I should've put some action on the under 1.5 rounds. It kinda felt like it was gonna be all over at the first round (which it did) before the event.

Anyway here are the results.

I wonder what happened to Kyler Phillips, he was replaced by Casey Kenny (7-1-1) to fight Ray Borg. Kyler Philipps is a replace to Pingyuan Liu. Ray Borg needs to do a lot of homework since he needs to study the fighting style of Casey Kenny. Imagine from reviewing the fighting style of Pingyuan Liu, then Kyler Phillips and now with few days left till fight day Casey Kenny steps in.

I hope so, we have seen lots of sports personalities in the past who have lost all their fighting money. He has a lavish lifestyles, the cars, the houses, you need big money to maintained it. So I don't know if he can stay afloat with that if he stop his fighting career.

But the good thing is that he has a fall back though, like you said. His whisky business, will it bring enough money for him after he retired?

Probably wanted be a majority share holders, hehehe.

There is no guarantee that whisky business will remain profitable forever. If this guy is intelligent, then he should tone down his demands, make sure that he gets 1-2 good fights per year and aim for around $100 million per fight (that was the amount he earned during his fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov)
