Connor will be back. It will just be like GSP he will come out of the woodwork every 2-5 years to get a ton of money. Dude likes to spend money I doubt he can just retire. And all his non fight money making activities rely on him staying famous by occasionally fighting.
i read on ESPN McG just signed a 6 fight deal. Of course, he can just quit any time during that deal.
i used to think McG was one of the best pre-fight promo talkers ever. Now, I think he swears too much; it dilutes/obfuscates whatever he is trying to say. If you have something really cool and insightful to say its most effective with zero swearing. When McG is at a loss for words ... which seems to be happening more frequently ...he just starts swearing. ZZzzzzz....
Rory Macdonald got smashed tonight. He looked like 1 of those 1980's WWF bum wrestlers fighting Randy Macho Man Savage or King Kong Bundy. It was cringe-worthy.
he should change his name from the "Red King" to the "Red Nose".
speculation is Jon JOnes is snitching on the PED dealers who have NFL football players as customers. Jones manager should've kept his mouth shut rather than forcing USADA to categorically declare that Jones is squawkin' like a canary in order to lower his suspension time.
I'm pretty excited. It is a great card. I think Khabib is going to win after a scary moment in the first. I don't see him holding up to Khabib's pressure. Whole card is pretty exciting.
Especially when you look at the next card, great co-main event. But possibly the worst main event in UFC history.
All predictions are useless for Conor vs Khabib. I only hope Khabib smashes his face in for 5 rounds non stop. Its about time someone shut that mouthy prick up for good.
Khabib is pretty reckless in his takedown attempts in the middle of the ring, he shoots from afar and a fighter of McGregor's caliber will be able to exploit that. It's when Khabib is trapping his opponents against the cage that the game is usually over.
I'm a bit sad Sean O'Malley was replaced because of an USADA failed test, from what he's saying he's going to be cleared but the kid is incredibly entertaining. Still looking forward to the Pettis brothers fights, Volkov vs Lewis and see if Aspen Ladd can confirm.

Khabib's iron chin survived Michael Johnson catching him repeatedly in the 1st round of their fight. Khabib's chin will get tested against the best striker in the division.

i think if Khabib gets this fight down on the mat he doesn't get a decision win. i think he'll end the fight.
if Khabib makes the same mistakes he made in the Michael Johnson fight then McG will KO him.

Have you seen the fight? Khabib took 0 damage in this fight.
i agree with Dominic Cruz' analysis of the Johnson-Khabib fight... Khabib was hobbled... and its that fight that i'd be watching the most as a point of comparison.
for those interested: you can watch the Johnson v. Khabib fight for free on youtube.com

He took some damage, but he took it like a champ and it stopped him for a couple seconds at best in the entire round, so yeah his chin is pretty amazing. That being said, Conor is another beast when it comes down to ring control, and boxing pressure. If he's able to effectively touch Khabib, he's not just only going to sit in the middle of the ring.
I still have Khabib winning the fight as long as he puts down Conor once, or he doesn't die in the first two rounds, which is likely to me, but his weird ass chin up defence and shoulder rolling scares me every time.
