I think Ferg but more so Khabib would def put another L on Conor's record. My thing is at the end of the day UFC is at an interesting time with their ppv sales aren't doing too well this year. No real stars. Their tv deal with Fox about to end but Fox needs them. Conor is sitting pretty. I knew he wouldn't fight in Dec... he probably wants Khabib to fight Tony... any other fighter sure but Conor has more leverage than we have ever seen. He built the fukkery

If khabib fights tony it will be for the real LW belt. As much as they cater to conor i dont see how they dont strip him when its been tony tearing thru all these contenders.

On another note, who do yall have as the greatest LW of all time?

If ferg were to beat conor then beat khabib does he get the nod? Even if its just one title defense his resume is as good as any other lw

Edit: on another nother note kelvin whittaker, tho doesnt make sense atm, would be an absolute banger. Kelvin got a granite chin and probably the best boxing in either we or mw along eith robert, and robert aint looking to take it to the ground.

how can you let a guy fight 3 weeks later

how can you let a guy fight 3 weeks later

they don't care about fighter safety like they claim to.

He volunteered because dude is 5'9

That's as simple as it gets

I am very fond of BJ Penn as the GOAT of LW... can't over look what RDA did... I really wish Conor would see him but that's never gonna happen now.

As far as Kelvin vs Whittaker... Robert is bigger than Kelvin... he would look to take Kelvin down to make the fight easier...

UFC is getting stale to me. I watched almost every single event between 2004 and 2013. These days I just catch the big fights because there are too many watered-down cards.

Those were the golden years
It's crazy to think how similar UFC and WWE are as far as being at the top of their respective fields yet they both declined for years and are now stuck in a dull period

 

[The G.O.D II]

That KO was brutal. Man Bisping needs to think about hanging it up his bank account is good. He’s been at it a while and has taken had some brutal KO/fights

 

[Roman Brady]

He volunteered because dude is 5'9 and a soft doughey looking welterweight

That's as simple as it gets

Fixed

Please don't compare UFC to WWE, UFC can still produce nights like UFC in NY 2 even in one of its most dullest years. WWE can never produce anything to the level of even the ruthless aggression era let alone attitude and 80s

Agreed, I still think BJ Penn was the most talented fighter to ever compete in the UFC. Breh trained like a soccer mom and still beat some of the best fighters of his time off sheer skill alone. nikkas talking about McGregor going up to 170...please. BJ went on a burger and beer diet and gave Machida a hell of a fight at 205.

 

[No Ma’am]

Many believed he beat GSP as well, but that's just an opinion. What can't be disputed is that he had GSP in trouble and gave him a good run for his money in that first bout.

Most talented for me is Jon Jones dude isn't a black belt in any discipline but you wouldn't know. Not even a champ till UFC.

I was going for BJ wanted to see GSP fall off... very safe fighter and hated how that first fight ended.
