Loz Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Just watching now. Damn, Romero really is a beast! That knee was unreal. Spoiler Should be a great fight with Bisping for the title too. Spoilered just in case people haven't seen it yet and don't want results spoiled for them.

But yeah, I’m pretty confident that it’ll be in the UFC. “I told him I want to fight again. We’re back at it. We’re back to the drawing board. So, it’s up to him. He floated me an idea and we’re kind of going back and forth on it right now.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I mean, if they insist on giving him another fight, Charlie Ward wouldn't be the worst opponent for him. 2-2, and pretty fucking awful. I can't really see them bringing another nobody in, and he's probably the least experienced and next least worst fighter in that division. As an aside, I was just looking at Ward's record. In his debut, he fought a (then) 17-6 John Phillips. That is awful matchmaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Cormier's injured, out of UFC 206. Lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Even with Cormier / Johnson as the main event, that card looked a bit weak. I wonder if they can find a new main event now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Russo Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 At the moment, the plan is Holloway vs. Pettis to be moved up to the main event spot, and it'll be for the interim featherweight title. I don't know what this means for Conor's reign as featherweight champion or Aldo's reign as interim featherweight champion, but the best speculation seems to be that this will speed up the UFC stripping Conor of the featherweight title, with Aldo then being made the official featherweight champion, and Aldo then defending against the winner of Holloway vs. Pettis.

EddieG Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Apparently last night during the UFC broadcast, it was announced Conor's title is indeed being relinquished, making Aldo the champ, and Holloway vs Pettis is for the interim title.

Gazz Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 And all it cost was a 51% controlling interest in the UFC, or Ultimate Fookin' Conor as it is now known. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 GSP and his talent agency, CAA (WME-IMG's biggest rival), are going to announce a big announcement on Wednesday, along with other CAA clients Cain, Cerrone, Dillashaw and Tim Kennedy. Whatever this is, they're also being joined by idiot Bjorn Rebney, the guy who insisted that the coolest thing about MMA are single-night tournaments.

Domain registry records link him to "MMA Athletes Association".

Admin Lineker Posted December 1, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Conor McGregor has been issued a boxing licence and is said to be pursuing a "high-level opponent". The 28-year-old Irish fighter and one of UFC's highest-profile and biggest-earning figures has previously been linked to a fight with the now-retired boxer Floyd Mayweather.

Skummy Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 No chance it'll happen, he just knows it'll keep people talking about him and drive up his asking price. It's no different to him teasing WWE appearances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalaCloudy Black Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yeah, this is just like him saying he's retiring or teasing WWE appearances. He's just doing it for the publicity, and I'm willing to bet in a week or two he'll be like "BUT I GOT EVERYONE TALKING DIDN'T I? HA" just like he did when he was threatening to retire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to forget that Rebney screwed Eddie Alvarez out of a major payday when he bitched a fit over Alvarez signing with the UFC in early 2013 and somehow convinced a judge that a theoretical Bellator PPV was worth more than an actual UFC PPV and Alvarez was essentially forced to stay in Bellator for a while longer.

Draevyn Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 So UFC 206 wasn't all that great but really three out of the five (arguably 4) main card fights were actually pretty good. Choi/Swanson was just a hell of a slugfest and the kind of fight I enjoy the most. The main event was not all that great but I'm not really a big fan of Holloway and Pettis has just not been great lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
