You can throw T. Woodley in that mix now too
It's hard to blame a guy who's never been beat. The interview backstage was funny as hell, his english is much better than it used to be.

Mended man handled him, all CM could do was ask the ref to stand it up...I just don't see anybody beating Ferguson, I'm always amazed he makes weight, he looks like a 6'1" 190 lb dude with a huge reach and never stops pressing the action.
All the fighters are like that, they cut huge amounts of weight. Woodley said he walks around at 205, but fights at 170. I'd like to them weigh in a few hours before the fight closer to their natural weight.
I think ferguson could beat him if kept his composure. He can get a little emotional and McGregor is a master of doing it. He's like a chael sonnen, anderson silva, and diaz brothers all rolled into one minus the heart. CM's next fight will probably be Diaz or Woodley.

I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Diaz again but you know it wouldn't be for a title..if they do that it would just be to get him to fight again without the risk of losing a belt...I think his next fight should be kabib but let's face it he'll prolly rematch Alvarez
Khabib has no one to blame but himself. He dominated 2 1/2 rounds of his fight then tapped MJ out.Everyone knows running from your opponent + split decision+ different division= Title shot. I feel for the guys that've been putting in the work and keep getting past over. They need a fighters union.

Its that piece of shit Dana the douche that is fucking everything up, How does Ferguson not have a title shot? How does khabib not have one? That turd Dana wants to cherry pick fights to keep his golden goose like McGregor safe ..he tried to do that with Rhonda too ..the guy is just awful for the sport.

Ferguson deserves a title shot for sure but I think kabib should get one first only for the fact he's undefeated, it's not easy to never lose at that level in the game especially in UFC he shows up and performs every single fight, I also wouldn't mind seeing those two go at it with the winner gettin a title shot Ferguson would be his biggest challenge yet

Kabib has only fought 3 times in the last 2 and a half years so i dnt see him getting a shot.. i can see him and ferguson fighting it out for no.1 contender spot tho
It might end good for the sport. Maybe it'll encourage more fighters to leave for other promotions or organize a union. Fighters should have some leverage like mandatory challengers. Having one person own the company, make the matches, and promote it is crazy. Imagine in the NFL the teams play all 16 games then roger goodell hand picks two teams to go to the super bowl. How do think aldo feels? He should've had rematch immediately. It amazes me the way CM is portrayed as the best ever. Hasn't defended a belt, but he gets treated like and compared to guys like GSP, Silva, aldo, or JJ is absurd. I agree he's definitely ruining the sport. Hopefully they do the right thing but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

But at the same time if you look at CMs wins his rec really isn't that padded alit of good fighters he's beat and most he beat impressively so can't really knock the guy to much
I like him as a fighter, i find some of his bullshit a little much and only for the camera. It's the treatment he gets.His first title shot came after beating dennis siver at fw. Won a close split decision vs diaz at 170 pounds gets a title shot at 155? He's only fought a few top guys, one lasted 13 seconds the other dominated him for two rounds on 10 days notice and alvarez who i think is over rated. I was surprised so many other fighters were picking him to win. I don't like it but i can't blame him. If ufc's giving him the opportunity he'd be a fool not to take it, but Id like him to fight the top guys who have earned their shots.
The way dana white hypes him up as the first two way champ is a little disrespectful to the bj penn and randy coutures of the world. They both held belts in multiple divisions but weren't allowed to have them at the same time.

he beat max hollaway and dustin poirier along with siver on his way to the title shot. when he got the shot he dusted aldo, so they must have picked the right guy.
What about guy's like Mendes, Edgar, Swanson, Olivera, Lamas, Bermudez? He didn't have to fight any of them. Everyone of them were ranked higher than Poirier or Siver. I think my problem is watching picked fights, not earned fights. It isn't just CM, I don't see why RR gets a title shot. Her last fight was a one sided ass kickin. It's PPV buys, fighters need to treat it as another discipline or they might get looked over. All you need to do is look at guys like cm punk. lol
