I think they are negotiating with Tony and Jan is too close.

I think they are negotiating with Tony and Jan is too close.

The issue is they've known since September that Ferguson was next in line for a title shot, so why are they only negotiating now?

Khabib said before he would never fight in Vegas again, so that takes out the March PPV as it's usually there.

February PPV has Jones/Shevchenko title fights.

January is supposed to be Conor, but we'll see.

Could also be a bit of a favor to Barclays as this fight was supposed to be there in 2018 and fell apart.

I thought Khabib only just agreed to today

Not sure if it’s been posted but they made Pettis vs Diego Ferreira at 155

Josh Emmett vs Arnold Allen on the Raleigh card

Sick fight

Hooker v Felder to main event the Auckland fight night in February. Fun fight - one that was thrown around here after Hooker's last win.

Hopefully the Khabib vs. Ferguson fight actually gets done and then happens this time. They don't appear to have a deal done with Ferguson yet and are likely trying to put public pressure on him right now by announcing it.

Zabit says he has some good news coming for the April 18 card as well. If he has a fight lined up already then it must be Yair because everyone else near the top of the division is already booked. That's the fight to make and I really want to see it. The one unfortunate part is that it would only be three rounds if it's on this card.

Carano looks like she's had some work done. Her face looks much different than it used to

Conor v Cerrone, done deal for UFC 246 in January.

Conor v Cerrone, done deal for UFC 246 in January.

UFC 246 is in February and will be headlined by Jones vs Reyes

 

[Sheppy]

I think that's a bad, bad match up for Cerrone..

 

[CDJ]

Will be interested in seeing the betting line for that one. I’d imagine Cerrone will end up a slight underdog

 

[1specter]

It is though the fight being at WW will slightly benefit him as Conor is more likely to gas out at that weight.

This makes me sad. Not to sound like a dick, but i hate when women as gorgeous as her get work done like that.

We'll see. Either that one becomes UFC247, or do they actually have Conor/Cerrone on an ESPN card? Would be a massive opportunity for ESPN.

UFC 245 1/2 works for me as well, would be a nice throwback.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Conor v Cerrone, done deal for UFC 246 in January.

Anyone know a good place to catch the fights in Puerto Vallarta?

 

[Neutrinos]

So I'm not wrong then. It's obvious she's had work done, right?

I definitely thought so as well, It makes me sad.

Cowboy looks pretty close to being done, but I'm happy for the guy finally getting his "money" fight. Fingers crossed he somehow survives on the feet and submits Conor in the 2nd or 3rd. That said, it's a safe, smart fight for McGregor to take and fool people into thinking he's the guy again.

 

[YNWA14]

Maybe. Will be interesting to see how McGregor deals with Cerrone's size and kicking. If Cerrone doesn't come out too stiff I could see him working Conor. I think that McGregor is typically more dynamic than Iaquinta but it wouldn't surprise me if Cerrone uses his size and range effectively in a similar way. I like Cowboy a lot more so maybe I'm projecting that but I think he has a good chance of beating McGregor; he's not going to stand right in front of Conor and let him beat on his face the way Nate did so it'll be interesting to see if his movement and style work out.

It would be interesting to see what happens with Conor if cowboy just takes him down and submits him, haha.

I enjoyed Conor on his rise to the top, but he's been so insufferable for a while now. If he actually wants to be happy and fight regularly, I'm all about it, though.
