NFT: UFC 205 Alvarez vs McGregor new Headliner

Smart booking. Khabib Ragdolls Eddie or Conor. Milk thst cow.

I dont think Eddie is that dominant amd wouldnt hold the belt for long. I do think his wrestling and grappling will be huge. He does have more power than Diaz but this is a winnable and solid match up for Conor. Much much faster. Ferguson and Khabib would be much tougher. Chiesa as well as Cowboy will present a lot of challenges too. Win or lose Conor isn't ever cutting to 145 again. He will say hes got nothing to prove but Diaz gave him another shot. Zero chance he give s one to Aldo. Why take the chance.

Hes going to have his hands full at 155. And I fully expect Cowboy to want a shot at Conor. Even though Nate beat him Cowboy is as fun to watch as anyone usually amd a much better fighter. Going to be interesting. Insane card on paper
I'm going to try for tickets

PPV at home is always awesome but I need to be in MSG that evening.
Awesome card, from top to bottom.

I just might buy this one.
the thing about Eddie is...

He won't be afraid to try and grapple for a majority of the fight and grind out a win. I think he will try to stand up with Conor since he has good boxing, but once he feels Conor's power, he's gonna revert to his wrestling and tire him out like his fight against Pettis. We've seen Mcgregor's gas tank and though he showed heart against Nate in the 2nd fight, I still think he gasses out after 3 rounds.
Damn

Now I want to go.. Can only imagine what the ticket prices will be
If only they added Khabib vs Diaz

Won't happen. Diaz won't do it an Kahbib will rag doll him. If you remember or didn't see Nick Diaz ve GSP it will be like that IMO

Good luck Jon getting tickets. I'm sire u can get some. Question is the $$$. Of course. Not going to be cheap.

I met CW for the first time at the Manhattan academy when I flew up to drop Munson off for college. Met CW He was pretty Down to earth to me anyway amd I'm definitely a nobody. That no go Danger class is a whos who

He and GSP were talking about thst card while I was eavesdropping big time on the mat. lol. He did say he wanted on thst card amd it was either Romero or Jacare. Romero will probably gas if he can keep it standing.

McGregor stiffs Alvarez and holds two belts...

Aldo has requested his release from the UFC... He was a great champion, but his righteous indignation is pretty comical... Guy has pulled of around half a dozen title fights... He was the least active champion by far... Pulled out a week before his first McGregor fight... Finally gets in there and gets starched in 13 secs... Turns down the rematch in March... Now bellyaching and asking for his release... And it's not even that he can't get the McGregor fight... It's that they won't strip McGregor of the FW title... And we know that's not monetary because he never sells enough PPVs to get points...
Aldo now wants to retire

.
They added Khabib vs. Michael Johnson

to the 205 card.

I don't order a lot of these things, but this one is looking like a must-buy.

So!od fight for Khabib.  
LauderdaleMatty : 9/27/2016 9:48 pm : link
A d why strip Conor. He won't ever fught at 145 again anyway. If Aldo was smart he'd pull a Conor amd call him a coward and a hypoctit. Milk it. Or he can go to 155 too.

Meanwhile guys like Ferguson and Khabib should have more legit complaints. Heck RDA destroyed Diaz who gave Conor all je could handle ans he doesn't get a chance for a rematch

Aldo should STFU. This is what it is. New ownership wants to recoup its investment.
Can't wait for this card
