@flying_frontkick... you could have had a PERFECT !!!

Why did you think Giles would do anything ? His hype came after he quit a fight right before he walked out and fainted.  Then he came back with an win...  He is not that good. He is alright ... a journeyman.

that picture of devastation .... that was funny but hardly any truth.  Only a small percentage of the world, watches the UFC but its a big enough percentage for massive money. 

Nobody cares really... and the world goes on. 

Who is Conor McGregor ?   Whats a UFC ? -- real questions from real people who are too busy with life

Maybe I'm crazy but I think Conor McGregor VS Tony Ferguson would be a good fight to make now. Both are big fighters on the downswing and both can be insanely unpredictable. I've no idea what would happen in that fight but I seriously doubt it would go the distance.

RDA handles McGregor with ease. Like, clearly. I thought RDA beat Conor when they were scheduled to fight originally, but now? It's waaaay more clear-cut. Do it.

the best fight for Conor's return would be Nate Diaz. no leg kicks, no wrestling, clinch only to rest, almost pure boxing.

I really enjoy watching Ilil Topuria *******  up Ryan Hall. Dude a diva and him kept saying EvErYoNe DuCkInG Me might be the dumbest thing a human ever said. It they're job to fight, No fighter is ducking Ryan Hall, Or at the very minimum, A whole roster  of featherweight ain't ducking him .That ********. And watching Ryan Hall trying to cheese his way to victory, Only to get punch in the head was very satifying and was my favourite fight on the card

Edit: I think I might like Hall if he and his Jiu Jitsu Weeb fanbase didn't shut up about people ducking him

I gotta admit that smashing was beautiful to watch, partly because the dreaded weak spinning kick that leads to him getting taken down, his only move fails, the guy is hitting you harder then you've ever been it and man he toasted him. Ryan Hall got ****** up, and I like the guy, but I never believed people were ducking him.

If they were, congrats Topuria. You made him look like an amateur out there.

Nothing will top the satisfaction of watching Greg Hardy get overly excited when he hurt Tuivasa, only to whiff and walk into a bomb. I've already re-watched that knockout a bunch of times and showed it to my friends who don't watch MMA but watch football

How would they sell a Conor v. Tony fight? Two washed former champs with nothing but a little more CTE on the line? It looks fun on paper but I can't think of a real reason to make this fight other than Tony calling him McNuggets a few years ago. Conor probably won't take the fight cause there is nothing to gain from Tony at this point, it's like when he fought Cerrone after two losses.

2 of the most delusional fan bases in the world. It would sell simply because of that.

@ZoomerBet Just that press conference alone would be PPV worthy. Tony is just so odd I don't know if Conor would even know how to deal with it.

The fight doesn't have to make sense rankings wise. That fight would be amazing stylistically. The fans would go nuts for the amount of crazy insane **** those 2 would say to each other building up the hype for the fight. And its a strikers delight. They would punch and kick the hell out of each other. Guarantee the UFC is considering that fight and they should.

Tony will win easy and Conor wont do it him a cowarbib been ducking him for years which is all public well documented facts.
He cant wrestle and has bad sub defense Tony only gasses after being lambasted for 4.5 rounds and is much tougher.
I'd love to see it Tony will drop him and show the world a real RNC not the ***** neck crank that was miss called before.

^ see example of Delusional Tony fan above. The guy got thoroughly smoked by Gaethje, Do Bronx, and Dariush but yet these people still believe he would have had a snowballs chance in hell against Khabib.


The delusions are exactly why it would sell. His fanbase can't grasp the fact that he's not even top 5 in the division. Probably loses to the entire top 10 but somehow he could beat Khabib. I'll never understand it.
