    mcgregor / diaz 3 for 155 belt will be his next fight imo

    some prospects I like Emil Meek, Niko Price , i still like Doo Hoo Choi as well for the future i think he has a ton of potential

    also Mirsad Bektic hes had 5 fights in the UFC and lost a tough one last fight but i think he could be fighting for a title eventually , guy has a ton of talent and is only 26 years old


    and last one Islam makhachev i think he could be a beast at 155 , only 25 years old and hes from Dagestan so you know hes a beast, plus he outgrinded Nik Lentz which is tough to do

      only a matter of time before it gets announced. No way nate doesn't want the money and conor thinks it is an easy win which it will be if nate fights like he did last fight.

          lol diaz high as penetrate if he thinks is getting anywhere near that amount. Conor won't even be getting near that much for a mma fight.

            i think mcgregor will get 10-15 mil plus PPV but hes obviously the main attraction, Diaz should get 5mil and ppv and be happy with that.... without mcgregor he would never be making this kind of money... 20-30 mil is laughable , put Diaz by himself against another fighter and see how many ppvs you get

              Now that I think about it nate must mean $20 million in the end, after PPV and endorsements. No way he or conor are getting anything near $20 mil to fight. Last time nate got $2mil and conor got $3mil, but after PPV and endorsements it was 13mil and 15mil respectively. So nate could certainly get $20 million in the end.

                MCgregor deserves at least whatever double Nate makes imo.. what hasn't Nate done to stay relevant since the last fight? What has mcgregor done? Won the 155 title and had the biggest boxing fight in history ... Mcgregor doesn't need Diaz, Diaz needs mcgregor it's just facts... mcgregor could go on to fight anybody in the UFC and have the biggest ppl at this point or even go fight Paulie in boxing , Diaz should take his 3-5 mil and be happy Bout it imo... I could see mcgregor getting 15-20 mil plus PPV at this point it's realistic , especially if the fight does over 1.5 mil PPVS

                  WBW: Aspen Ladd
                  WFW: Megan Anderson

                  FTW: Gregor Gillespie
                  LW: Joe Duffy
                  WW: Kamaru Usman
                  MW: Paulo Borrachinha
                  LHW: Tyson Pedro
                  HW: Francis Ngannou

                  Note: I'm defining prospect as someone with five or fewer fights in the UFC.
                  Really like Gillespie, Borrachinha, Pedro... as a fan and for betting purposes, although Borrachinha has been a big fav. Hard to imagine that guy losing in Brazil after seeing his first two. I'm still not sold on Rob Font, but maybe I'm missing something.

                    Just realized Gillespie is technically a LW even though he is more of a FTW in size

                          Since Gillespie is at LW, I'll do Alexander Volkanovski as my Featherweight prospect to watch

                            seems like there is a lot of good matchups left for him and he may even be hinting to dana. Woodley is his friend but most importantly woodley is in the UFC so sounds like he is thinking about big fights.


                            “The one and only way I would ever come back for another fight is if it was for the No. 1 spot in the world. Not two, not three, not four, not five. None of those spots,” Askren said. “Then obviously the second part of that would be his name is not Tyron Woodley, because I have no interest in fighting Tyron, a very good friend of mine. So if for some reason the No. 1 person’s name was not Tyron Woodley, and I got offered a fight against No. 1, I would come back to prove I was No. 1. But other than that, I’m retired. I don’t need to come back and prove I’m two or three or four, anywhere in there; I’ll be done.”

                                I parlayed him up with Mouse points handicap at (+105). Bought Glenn at just the right time when he dropped to (-140)

                                  I'm with you. I like Tucker. On him for 3u. He should have a massive speed advantage. And Pedro on this card too. Latifi will be tough for him, but if he's for real he needs to be able to win this fight.

                                        At least he did it now rather than the day of the card. My rule is always that if you weigh in, you need to fight.

                                            hes missed weight / pulled out of a fight i think 3+ times now....
                                            if he misses it 1 more time he will be banished from 125 imo... guys to big for 125 its pretty obvious his body cannot handle the cut

                                            only person who can beat DJ right now at 125 ( any shot at all ) is Henry Cejudo imo

                                              Speaking of pullout merchants, look at Thiago Alves' recent record. He's pulled out of 5 fights in the past few years

                                                sucks thiago has pulled out, i have a bit more sympathy for him because hes been in the sport so long and has had some legit wars... still sucks to see though i really wanted to watch him vs perry..... will most likely be out watching GGG/Canelo anyways so ill be watching this card after on DVR

                                                      was drinking that night so i didnt really watch it 100%
                                                      but i rewatched it tonight and i had 116-112 GGG
                                                      some rounds were super close but GGG forward movement and output won the fight for me , backing canelo into the corner ropes on numerous accounts was the main factor... round 1 was basically a toss up , 2-3 canelo , 4-11 GGG and round 12 canelo for me


                                                      the woman who had 118-110 canelo should never be able to judge another combat sport again imo.... boxing has always been known for crooked decisions and i see it regularly but its just becoming a joke at this point how people like us online can watch it online and be much better judges with 0 actual judging classes or seminars but by just being a fan and in the sport....

                                                        I actually had it 114-114 and agree there were plenty of close rounds. Anything from 116-112 Golovkin to 115-113 Canelo seems fine to me but that Adelaide Byrd card was awful. She judges MMA too so watch out!

                                                          She is HIGHLY known for being bought off.....
                                                          Guillard Over Varner 30-27,When Joe Calzaghe fought Bernard Hopkins for The Ring Magazine light-heavyweight title in 2008, most observers had the British fighter a clear winner - even after he was knocked down in the third.
                                                          Judge Chuck Giampa scored the bout 116-111 in favour of Calzaghe, with Ted Gimza recording a 115-112 verdict in favour of the Welsh fighter.
                                                          Adalaide Byrd scored the fight 114-113 in favour off Hopkins.,
                                                          Now they are removing her from UFC 216, She has also judged MMA since 2006 and was at the heart of the controversial Lenard Garcia decision over Nan Phan in the Ultimate Fighter 12 finale in 2010. She scored it 29–28 in favor of Garcia despite many believing Phan won.,

                                                            Byrd has a history among those in the boxing circles. She scored Canelo Alvarez's one-sided victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. with a 120–108 card. In Alvarez's sixth round knockout of Amir Khan, she had scored it 48–47 in favor of Khan before he went down.

                                                              I had it 115 113 Alvarez. Someone should have won though. The odds of both fighters winning the same amount of rounds seemed unlikely.

                                                                  but 118-110 canelo is just a joke to give GGG only 2 rounds , i thought he clearly won the decision after watching it again last night.... at very worst i would give him 7 outta 12 rounds , he had Canelo on the ropes multiple times , stalking him down and wasnt always landing but he was putting the output out and dictating the fight, it was a great fight and a lot of rounds were super close but thats what judges are payed for
