You might be right, I liked Weidman... Maybe he's a chump, seems like damn near everybody whoops Silva when he's off the juice.

What a performance by McGregor!
I went into this thinking Alvarez would dismantle his striking just like he did with RDA and his wrestling would be a huge problem for Mac to overcome. He walked right through that. Eddie had no chance the entire fight.
It looks like 155 will remain the McGregor division for the time being. I can't wait to see Ferguson take on the Notorious and Khabib, both guys have earned it. I see Ferguson besting McGregor, but I probably shouldn't call fights for a while.. anyone who bets against McGregor at this point is either a fool or loves pain.
Woodley impressed the hell out of me, even though he had a couple of questionable moments against Wonderboy. Looking forward to watching more from him!
JJ is simply on another level, she's the next Rhonda

It seems when top guys lose it can lead to a few consecutive loses.
Silva loses to weidman twice, bisbing, cormier
gustofson loses to jones, cormier, johnson
RDA loses to alvarez, ferguson
Pettis loses to RDA, alvarez, barboza
mcgregor loses to diaz twice
They say fighting is 90% mental.
Bisbing already said he won't fight Romero, it's a common theme in the ufc.

Diaz twice lol ... forget to take ur meds today
Betting against McGregor is dumb, at least until they stop hand picking opponents.
He quit the first fight, didn't even try to fight off the choke. Gave it up like a whore on prom night. Second fight was close, but don't forget octogon control and aggression are being judged. Hard to have either of those with your back turned running. Diaz isn't even a top fighter so how does that earn a title fight in a different division? It was a business decision from the ufc, it's really that simple. Alvarez was the best chance they had for a 2 division belt holder. He's a sloppy fighter who throws wide punches from his ass, against a great striker with power like CM it's a matter of time before the lights go out. Watch his fight against RDA again you'll see what i mean.

2 opponents you think McGregor couldn't beat?
I know no doubt about it, my point is look at his punches and where they're coming from. McGregor is too good of a striker to brawl with, why do you think he talk's so much shit to guys during the lead up?
Eddie Annihilated RDA
I think he could beat all of them, but I think he could win/lose against any of these guys
Diaz beat him already
Mendes dominated him for 2 rounds before he gassed, on 10 day notice
Khabib has never been beat, ever
Ferguson could beat him
johnson could beat him
RDA could beat him
Did you notice the size difference last night? All you heard about him losing was how much bigger diaz was, he looked alot bigger than alvarez didn't hear him use it as an excuse for losing.
You tell me who has he beat that warranted a title shot in either division? He's good, still has some work before being the goat.
Don't forget he's a 2 division champ he's the only one who's been allowed to try. Do you think DJ wouldn't fight cruz if he could hold his belt at 125? Penn, Edgar, Silva none were allowed to even try.

I'm not a guy who hates on CM, I Kinda like him...he's a tough guy with a ridiculous left hook ..I just hate Dana, and the hand picked tomato cans he puts in front of the guys he likes. Dana wants this to be the WWF, I despise that cheap gayboy garbage.

He's a great counter puncher no doubt, but he's also being the WWF heel that pussy Dana wants him to be.
Tony Ferguson will beatvtbe dogshit out of him and anybody else in the division... Its ridiculous that Ferguson hasn't had a crack at him already.

It looked fixed.. did you guys see 1st rnd when Alvarez was kicking Connor and then Connor yelled and said something to alvares right after he got kicked.. then Alvarez never threw another kick.. just too scripted.

Khabib is a horrible matchup for Con but I'll tell you what: Michael Johnson was tagging Khabib pretty well on his feet before he got ground and pounded. If McGregor lands that easily on the feet it may never make it to the ground.

The next day..
"LUCKY PUNCH!!"
"We never saw what Khabib could do on the ground, McGregor got a lucky punch, let's see what happens in the rematch!"
etc., etc..
I would love to see both Conor (your chicken) McGregor v. Khabib Nurmagomedov or McGregor v. Ferguson! One of those two guys deserves the fight first. Although I wouldn't complain about a number one contender fight while McGregor either defends or vacates the 145lb strap, hopefully against Aldo or Holloway. If he goes back up to 170 and challenges Woodley, hell, I'd watch that too!
What's a number contender fight? I didn't know they did that in the ufc.
Mendes controlled him pretty good on the ground. If Khabib gets him down he's not getting up until the end of the round. That was his first fight in two years and he dominated it, except the first couple minutes. I hope we get to see one or the other or 145 get defended at least. I have a feeling it's gonna be nate diaz again

It probably will be since Nate's the only one in the UFC with a win (and a finish at that) over McGregor. I would love to see the trilogy completed and Nate emerge as the champion with another sub finish over McGregor! I'd also love to see the Aldo rematch before Aldo gets fed up and bolts entirely. I'd also like to see Khabib and Ferguson take the test.. Man, 4 different guys who pretty much equally deserve it against one guy.. I do not like this situation
