Max ain't no punk. Would be a huge win for him. A huge payday also because you can almost guarantee he fights McGregor next.

I think Max will give Khabib all he can handle. If he can get through the first 2 rounds without an extended GNP session from Khabib, he will be ok.

Hope JJ takes her belt back.

It is always nice seeing Bec Rawlings getting her trashy arse handed to her too.

Nice little prelim card on FS-1.

Holloway has already enhanced his brand 100 times over by taking this fight. Win or lose, he’s the people’s champ.

1. What happens if Max doesn't make weight? Would Khabib still get the belt if he wins, or would he get it by default or would it no longer be a title fight? These questions are always confusing to me because it seems it's always a combination of UFC policy and whatever athletic commission they are fighting under.

1a. Why can't these athletic commission adopt some unified rules?

2. Easier said than done but fighters need to start walking around at a lighter weight. Eddie Alvarez said he's waking up at 191 right now. That's just stupid.

Max said on video that the weight cut will be tough - and he's moving up 10lbs.

It's time to do same day weigh-ins and raise each division by 10% of the current weight limit.

3. I think Joanna is the better fighter but something happend with Rose and she's really come into her own. I couldn't be surprised if she went on a solid win streak as a champion.

4. YT channel 'anatomy of a fighter' is pretty decent, and has several videos right now that are like the Embedded videos. It's a pretty good channel. I do like the music they play at the end of the Embeded videos. Wish they released credits to it.

5. The music played in Modelo commercials is from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, I believe.

6. I think Khabib wins this fight and I think Conor gets booked for the winner of Holloway / Ortega, while Khabib gets a super fight against either GSP or Ben Askren, if either of them want to come down to 155.

I was hoping Tony's injury was April Fools. I was wrong.

JJ vs rose. JJ hasn't looked as fierce since she moved to att... Also rose is a very fast starter And JJ seems to be a slow starter. Rose also hits much harder than all the usual girls in 115lb division except for the Brazilian girl not named gadelha, can't remember her name. Thug Rose just might be a bad matchup for JJ, we will see.

Only thing I would change is do away with 170 and add a 165 and 175 division. The majority of your good fighters fall between 135-185.

When did she become an SJW psycho? She actually used to post on Sherdog years ago and was pretty cool.

I’m starting to come out of morning from the Ferguson injury......

I love this whole card. I saw today where Max walks around at 180. That’s where I am and I can’t image having To be 155 by Friday.

I’m pulling for Max bc he’s an American but I don’t see how he wins this.

It seems like ever since she and Magana were on TUF, they let the "fame" go to their heads and became counts.

Was just watching the Aussie and Fancy YT channel for their breakdown of UFC223 (Megan Anderson and Laura Sanko). Megan said Max weighed 184 when he got the call from Dana.

I have serious doubts he's going to make weight for this fight.

Obligatory pics

Megan Anderson - that's a huge bitch. Nice rack, decent face, really long legs.


Laura Sanko - she be hot, former MMA fighter but decided to have the secks and got pregnant, left fighting now does broadcast work.

Is Megan the one who wants to fight Cyborg?

Yes....Megan is one of a very few legit 145'er females. She is a lot taller than Cyborg. I think Cris is 5'8" and Megan is either 6' or 6'1". But, Cris spars regularly against Gabi Garcia, who is a legit giant, so dealing with the height probably won't be a problem for her. Cyborg legit throws punches like a guy, which I believe is the key to her success - she has power and speed and I haven't seen a woman yet that can handle it. Probably not the same power as a male 145'er, but her speed and snap with the punches is a lot like the men's division - not on the same level but closer to mens than to the norm for the women's division. I think she would wear Megan out.

Cris and Gabi - and this is relatively small Gabi. There's bulked up Gabi and she's bigger than UFC light heavies.

If Max wins, Connor would talk shite about Khabib after avoiding him for so long. Dude is unbelievable.
