If Max is interested in moving up, then a rematch against Conor is the fight I want to see next for both guys. I think the time is right to do it again now.
Battle of the wings! This would be insane. Both guys have great chins and relentless cardio. However Tony does get dropped (always recovers though) but he also has a major reach advantage on Max.What an insane fight, Tony Ferguson just said on his twitter if the Khabib fight doesn't happen he'd like to fight Max next.
Holloway vs Conor at 155 lbs is the fight to make.
McGregor vs Holloway for the 145 lb title
I'm calling it now
The UFC wants the strap around McGregor's waist and that isn't happening at 155 anytime soon
So I stand by my prediction. Conor's next fight will be against Holloway for the 145lb belt

Mcgregor nuthuggers thinking he deserves a high profile fight against a guy at a lighter weight when he can barely beat journeyman diaz at his weight and just got embarrassed .
Guys, don't be stupid. McGregor vs Also would be a much better match either at 145 or 155. Not to mention conors done nothing to earn a shot against Holloway. Mick vs Poirier or cowboy at 155 is much more likely and proper. Ntm I think Holloway moving up is more likely tban him even defending that belt again. Its such a tough weight to make when you're 5'10. Holloway vs T Ferg for the interim 155 lb belt (gjven khabib is suspended) would be good though .
GRANTED. If the fight does happen is be happy to look stuoid here cause mcgregor would het wildly outpaced and gassed ny the middle of the second roumd then look like a complete amateur against max .
Asked what he thought about breaking a bunch of records like most significant strikes in a fight, in a round, etc.
"I didn't break the records. Actually Ortega did it for me. He was taking a lot of punches."
I love Max's way of talking **** that's also kind of respectful...
It's hard to say without knowing how long Khabib (and Conor) will be suspended. If Khabib gets a year, then I have no problem with them making an interim belt for Tony to fight Max, Conor, Poirier, Nate, whoever. And if Max does take a fight at 155, I don't have a problem with them making an interim belt at 145 either. I think interim belts are kind of unnecessary and it could just be a fight with the winner getting the next title shot, but the UFC loves the visual of the belt. So as Max would say, it is what it is.I think I would just wait on Holloway to fight the Ferguson/Khabib winner. Gives some time for guys at 145lb to sort themselves out before having an interim belt.
What will actually happen? A bunch of interim belts. Max v Ferguson for the 155lb belt, Moicano v Edgar for the 145lb interim belt.
McGregor is an elite top level fighter regardless of whether you think he deserves it or not, and Diaz is not a journeyman by any means at 55. Maybe you should rewatch Conor’s fight with Eddie.Mcgregor nuthuggers thinking he deserves a high profile fight against a guy at a lighter weight when he can barely beat journeyman diaz at his weight and just got embarrassed .

If Max was offered that fight he accepts immediately and runs to the bank, and MMA fans rejoice that the biggest fight in UFC history gets booked.
Connor McGregor hasn’t won a fight in over two years. Gtfo of here with Max vs Connor talk.

Dude, you say some incredibly stupid stuff here, but this is literally the worst. Sure, he hasn't won a fight in 2 years, given he's only fought once. The way you position it, you make it sound like the guy is on a huge losing streak. He lost to Khabib, like everyone else has. Hardly a knock, given he hadn't fought in 2 years. If anything, he should have take a tune up fight before going after Khabib, but whatever.
If I were McGregor's team though, I wouldn't be looking for him to jump back in there against a Holloway or Ferguson. I'd be looking to get him in against a guy that's good but beatable. Get him some mojo back.
He lost to Mayweather.
You blathered on and on how he would beat Khabib. How’s that workin for ya? Seems to me you are the last guy to be calling anyone out for saying ‘stupid’ ****.
Ya he shouldn’t fight Max, because Max would embarrass him, because he doesn’t deserve a shot at Max until he wins at least one fight and because there are better, more compelling, and more deserving opponents/matchups for Holloway.
Do you not pay attention to the UFC? Fights get made based on how much money they bring in. Whether you like him or not, Conor is BY FAR the biggest star in the sport. If Max is going to vacate his belt at 145, then he's going to be looking for a big payday fight at 155. You don't get a bigger payday than to fight Conor.He lost to Mayweather.

I agree with this 100% and why I think the next mostly likely fight for Conor is Poirier or Cowboy. Both are very good fighters and both could definitely beat Conor, but they are better matchups than Khabib, Tony, Max, Lee, etc.Dude, you say some incredibly stupid stuff here, but this is literally the worst.

Yeah, but wasn't that in boxing and using those rules? Not sure Mayweather would have the same advantage if Connor ever got him to the ground in a UFC fight. As a boxer I think you tend to become slower since you're just packing weight on at your arms while UFCers need to not only be powerful, but also quite agile.He lost to Mayweather.
If Conor had one more weapon other than boxing...kicks, clinches, wrestling, BJJ, etc....he would absolutely destroy Floyd. Straight boxing, Floyd is too good for anybody in the UFC.Not sure Mayweather would have the same advantage if Connor ever got him to the ground in a UFC fight.
Not. At. All.As a boxer I think you tend to become slower since you're just packing weight on at your arms while UFCers need to not only be powerful, but also quite agile.
