I love it. If you beat the beat ever in the division but do it too quickly it’s not as good as if you took 3 rounds toe to toe.

I also love how suddenly McGregor beating a fighter converts them into a bum.

On the flip side anyone who beats him is a high quality fighter who showed up Conor for being overrated.

It’s laughable.

People like you love conor, and that's what they want, what he wants, so I'm happy for you. I've been watching this sport for neigh on 30 years now, it's pretty fun when people jump on to it now and then and claim they know what they're looking at, it's part of what makes it so enjoyable, the casual fans that come in.

Regards to cerrone btw, conor beating him easily didn't make him a bum, maybe watch his other fights and make your mind up? I've only seen 33 of them so maybe I've missed something in the others that you've seen.

I despise him. He’s a grade A cunt. I’ve zero time for him as a man. That doesn’t mean I can’t recognise what an amazing business man and fighter he is.
I went to Uni with some of the first cage style fighters in Ireland. One was Irish Judo champion.
They never made the big time but I’ve always followed the sport.

In any case it’s besides the point. You’ve let your hatred of the man cloud his fighting credentials which is exactly what you accuse me of doing in the reverse. Which is laughable as if he died tomorrow I wouldn’t give a shit. He’s a prick and I hate that’s he’s Irish. Doesn’t mean I can’t acknowledge the winner that he is.

The fuck were those judges looking at? Poor the Reyes.

 

[Mors]

Rogan and Cruz who were commentating have both come out and they said they watched one judge looking at the floor for at least 30seconds during one of the fights that went to a decision. Absolute piss take. That's 2 on the bump jones should have lost. But, you shouldn't expect to win the belt on a decision. Fury absolutely walked a decision vs wilder and just about scraped a draw.

 

[dantes]

He was probably hanging his head in shame. They better sort this out before khabib ferguson.

UFC is back in Dublin in August.

That's gotta be McGregor's next fight

 

[Mors]

You'd have thought if they're there, he'd defo want to be on that card, but it's a pretty long wait from his last fight, and they're also trying to line him up to fight Khabib at the end of the year. His next fight has surely got to be against someone decent, so if he fights in Aug, he'd pretty much be straight back into camp for a fight at the end of the year. That doesn't give him much time at all to go raping around.

I'd say the likely next opponents in order would be:
Masvidal
Gaethje
Tony/Khabib if one of them gets injured before their fight, he'd be stand in
Someone rubbish at welterweight

This would be the list of people he could fight, but there is no way the ufc will allow it:
Usman
Covington
Edwards
Woodley
Maia
Lawler

***EDIT***
It's a fight night card, so non-ppv so no way he's going on that.

 

[Mors]

So the 2 benders fight tonight, I'm hoping the style bender get a beating, and then gets, a then gets a kiss in the post fight presser, see how he takes that. He's well overdue for a loss.

 

[dantes]

I missed the part where they fought.

 

[Ijg]

What a waste of 25 mins of my life.

 

[SaRed]

Women's championship fight was good though.
They just knocked the shit out of each other.

 

[dantes]

Her head was a balloon

 

[Mors]

Don't watch the womens fighting as it's bollocks, but that main event surely can't have been much worse than anything they'd served up. The last bender refused to engage and was just tippy tappy attacking now and then, and romero the idiot refused to fight unless the last bender hit him first so he could counter. Absolute farce. And of course uncle dana said it's all Romero's fault and his boy the bender did absolutely nothing wrong. Of course.

 

[Mors]

So Dana thinks he's going to carry on regardless, and put up events with no fans. Purely because he's shitting it about financial penalties from ESPN, and the owners have just drawn every last drop of blood and money out of them to the tune of 300mill in a dividend. He's on about moving the shows around to states with no rules or much less regulation. He's just tried moving it to vegas and they've shut him down, the London card has gone.

 

[Mors]

So now Dana has decided he's a dickhead after all, and can't put on the next 3 shows. But he's still defo putting on Tony vs Khabib next month. Of course you are Dana.
Nearly as bad as Vince running wrestlemania in a warehouse in a couple of weeks, just why bother.

Nobody will go to a mates house or a pub to watch it. They will all be bored at home in self isolation. The PPV numbers will be insane.

 

[Mors]

Anyone think Tony vs Khabib will happen then? I was reading the other day that Tony doesn't do any sparring, hasn't for years. I find that quite surprising from a timing point of view. Unless you're running at 500fps and they're running at 10, I can't see how it makes sense not to work on your timing on a moving target. Getting hit maybe not so much, once you've bit hit in the face a bit when you're younger, and when you've been hit really really hard a few times, I guess there's not that much to learn on the getting hit front.

Other fighters are starting to convince themselves they'll be fighting soon too, e.g Cormier. Maybe uncle Dana has told them all he'll be shipping them all off to a warehouse in Saudi Arabia to do it. Or maybe he could just hire an illegal rendition ship off the american/british shitbags.

 

[Mors]

What's all this shit with Till getting pictured with this Daniel Kinahan? For all you Irish out there, is he a proper bad cunt this Kinahan?
It seems to be plain sight knowledge that him and his old man are drugs/arms traffickers, so why don't they just nick the cunts?

 

[dantes]

Arrest him you say? Nobody gets to outbones bones...

 

[Mors]

The other bones is now nicked. Firing a gun in public ,being stoned and pissed whilst driving a car. He's an utter utter spaz. Dana will cast a blind eye of course, as usual. But someone needs to ban the fucker for life. He's been useless anyway since they've started drug testing him.

Useless? He didn't lose any fights.

 

[Mors]

Prior to getting drug tested, he was unreal, destroying everything put in front of him and top level opposition (e.g Cormier, Belfort, Gus, Rashad). Since getting drug tested, he's fought Gus, Smith, Santos, Reyes - decisioned 3 of them and should have lost the Reyes and Santos fights apart from dodgy ref decisions.
He's got a high bar to reach now of his old performances when he was cheating, I can't see him getting back there, he looks a completely different fighter now.

The UFC’s confidence in holding the Covid-19-stricken event took a hit after Russia announced a strict travel ban on March 30. Khabib revealed the news in Russian during an Instagram Live session on Monday. “As far as I know, they [UFC] are now looking for an opponent for Tony Ferguson ... I cannot leave [Russia] and Tony needs an opponent, and I am here in Russia. It is not my own decision that I am here,” he said.

Looks like we'll be waiting until bellator 395 for this fight to finally happen.

 

[Mors]

Yep, Khabib stuck in Russia and Tony stuck in the states, who'd have thought it. Only the 4th or 5th time its fell through.

Why did Khabib leave America two days before Russia were to close the border? Why not stay in America until a location was sorted?

He can only fight who's put in front of him. He's cleaned out the division twice. Everyone seems to be undefeated until they face him.

 

[Mors]

Appaz the UFC told him 100% there was no chance they'll be able to fight over there, and it was most likely to be the middle east or somewhere similar, so advised Khabib to head there. He went, and they started to shut their borders too, so he told the UFC he'd head to his own camp and wait there until they gave him the details. Now they've decided they've fucked it all up, and there's a small chance they might be able to get it on in the states, but he now can't get there. Absolute dickheads the UFC.

Re Jones, yep, he's beating everything put in front of him, absolutely. But the standard of his performances are going down and down so it's inevitable he's going to come unstuck. It looks like Anderson Silva all over again, another drugs cheat.
