I thought he was gonna fight Pettis

Guess not, I thought he might be on that Toronto card. I dunno if there's even talent left for that card, and that's the only show I have a chance of attending

 

[jackswstd]

If the Alvarez that fought RDA shows up he beats Conor, if it's the Alvarez that showed up against Cerrone Conor wins.

khabib vs johnson added. Card now is
PPV 205

UFC punishing MJ for his celebration it seems.

After watching the presser I am 100% positive they put decoys on that podium. I doubt weidman or Eddie/conor make it to fight night

Beating Eddie will be a huge feather in his cap.

I have Eddie taking this fight. He's the better overall fighter. I'm just worried that his chin will get cracked. Eddie has a tendency of getting rocked. His recovery is on point though.

Lake George Foreman used to say, you can only go to the well so many times. What I want to see is McGregor fighting a big puncher. That would be interesting.

Welp, that idea was shot down fast

Dana minimiza declaração de Aldo e diz: "Não vamos cancelar o contrato"
Presidente do Ultimate garante que irá "arrumar algo legal" para o lutador brasileiro

Dana downplays Aldo's statement and says" We are not going to cancel his contract"

President of the UFC guarantees they are going to put something cool together for the Brazilian fighter

I can't hate on Conor much like that anymore, dude is legitimately going out there and fighting any and everyone

The Alvarez that beat RDA will get KNOCKED THE fukk OUT...He was open for shots...

The Alvarez that "beat" Pettis is the only chance he has...When Alvarez tried an "exciting" fight with Gilbert Melendez he lost, and that's what pushed him to wrestle fcuk Pettis (he said it in his interview with Ariel Helwani)...I think he is in a similar situation...He is going in that fight "not to lose"...

I could see it in eyes during the press conference...He looked like somebody who just "doesn't want to lose"...He didn't sound like a dude who believes he is going in to beat the sh@t out of his opponent...

Maybe that will change when he goes through fight camp...
