I don't, not on the ground...

O can beat Khabib...but prolly only 3 in 20 times

I think Dustin has a better chance vs. Khabib because he can take shots better

I’d take him over Conor right now, probably Dustin too.

Title still feels a little hollow without anyone beating Khabib, but that's how it goes. Gaethje should get the title shot next against Oliveira.


Dustin deserves the title shot over gaethje. If he wins it’s his easily. If he loses to Conor then Conor will get it no doubt. Gaethje will have to wait.

Why is everyone talking about khabib? He’s retired

DP will get the title shot once he beats the Irishman

Conor washes Poirier and Oliveira. Conor vs Khabib 2. PPV records are smashed. Conor catches him with a left shooting in for the KO and belt unification.

A perfect world :)

It’s possible but I wouldn’t bet on it. Let’s see how Oliviera does against Dustin or Conor before we crown him.




I wouldn’t call it probable but I def think it’s possible.

Of the guys khabib fought I’d argue porier was the closest to being well rounded. Guys like Connor, gaethje, etc were not complete fighters

Dustin is a killer and probably one of the Most proven fighters in the game and got easily handled by Khabib. Conor was one of Khabibs more formidable opponents. It’s mma so who knows but let’s see how Oliviera does against a poirier or Conor before we try and say he can handle Khabib.

Should be a good scrap Cody either gets ko’d or will brutally ko someone no inbetween. Still say his fight against Dominick was is. If the all time greats.

Con-Man McGregor is 1-2 in the last three years in MMA.

he also lost back-to-back fights to the 12-loss, Stockton Soy Boy Nate Diaz (choked out in the first fight, and lost via decision the second fight regardless of the bogus and rigged scorecards).

Basically ... over the last five years .... Con-Man McGregor has only one decent win and that was against 16-loss, Brokeback Mountain Cowboy Cerrone

I'm watching the post fight stuff, Dana is answering questions. He's talking about how a lot of states are still shut down and New York hotels are closed, etc., etc. Then they go immediately to another segment of the show.

Lol if you think he lost that 2nd fight to Diaz i want some of what you’re smoking. A prime Eddie Alvarez was within the last 5 years and he absolutely embarrassed him. If he loses to Poirier in July I’ll agree he’s done. I think he still has some greatness left in him though

Covid became a religion to many people over the last year.

there are a shite-ton of people out there (media included) who want this political theater to go on for as long as possible. that's likely why ESPN cut the feed. they support the Covid fear mongering propaganda.

We'll see how motivated Conor is to continue fighting. He has 180 million reasons not to keep getting punched in the face.

We about to find out. If he can’t beat Dustin he is done. He did look good the last fight but couldn’t handle the calf kick. He put some big shots in Dustin’s me had him rocked good one time.

Yeah, it seemed pretty transparent why they cut to Chael talking about weight class rankings. Who gives a frick? Let's hear the UFC president talk about the future of the sport and the current limitations that are artificially being imposed. Oh, that doesn't fit the narrative? Cut to commercial!
