Dont like the idea of Connor walking around with the FW belt by avoiding fights in his own division.
As for the fight to headline to ufc 200, connor vs nate, im not a fan of it. At least make the last fight a title fight. Though i will be rooting for Nate again to this time, destroy connor and vanish him from their division.

since we are talking about UFC 200,they should have made at least three title fights for this event and not a simple match between a FW champ who got choked out by a #5 fighter from lightweight rank. I feel sorry for frankie though. He really deserved that title match already. I doubt connor will go down to FW again. He looks and even said that he feels very comfortable fighting at 155 though his last fight they fought at 170 against nate.

They should actually make frankie vs aldo highlight ufc 200 than mcgregor vs diaz 2.

Seems like mcgregor will be remembered not by becoming the FW champ, but the one who chose his opponents.

Hopefully
Cain velasquez comes back to ufc200 as well

Well on some parts you are wrong.
Frankie and Aldo are fighting for the interim title, and Dana White promised whoever wins that fight will fight Conor soon after UFC 200. If Conor beats Nate it will be a real statement that he can live up to his hype, honestly I think it's another win for Nate, Conor should just stick to FW and LW. Anyway I'm interested to see these two fights. Aldo beats Frankie by decision. Nate beat McGregor by KO/TKO this time.

The interim title is a joke and an insult towards aldo and edgar. Edgar has been defeating his opponents left and right. Aldo has been a champ for a long time but lets be honest here, that title shot should have gone to Frankie edgar and aldo should have fought someone like max halloway to get back into the #1 contender spot. But seems like Connor wants to choose his opponents.

Just read that Dana and Lorenzo tried to talk connor into going back down to FW to defend his title but connor disagreed. That is another joke. When has Dana listened to any of what the fighters have to say? This is their plan. Seems like they are trying to make connor win so he can then get another shot at the LW champ

They are trying to get as much money as they can. First, they make this a ppv fight where in the first place it shouldnt because there is no title on the line, then they make connor go back down and defend his title, thats going to be another ppv buy. So in reality, its a win win for connor and the ufc.

I still cant get my mind across about making nate vs diaz a main event. Its all about connors ego, there is no title, this isnt like the first fight where it was the FW champ vs a lightweight, which was a surprised to all of us ,BUT making the fight again??? Really.

I hope Nate Diaz uses his JJ to bring connor down fast and tear him apart, instead of trying to box him because lets be real, if connor wouldnt have gassed out who knows what would have happen. Connor was landing big shots and Diaz, always saying he has a black belt in JJ, why didnt he use it then instead of trying to outbox him. The only time he used it was when connor shot for a takedown and he defended it.

Connor doesnt have much of a ground game and we saw that against mendes.

Halo wrote I didn't know Velasquez lost his title shot due to injuries, sucks for him. Oh well, he gets to fight at UFC 200, I just hope he wins so he can fight Werdum for the championship (granted Werdum wins his next fight)


It just sucks that, with Cain, you never know how long he will be out. He's always dealt with injuries.

What do you think about Weidman/Rockhold 2? I've been routing for Weidman, and it's been said that his foot was broken in their first fight.


I want Weidman to win. On their first fight, i wanted weidman to win but felt Rockhold was better but after seeing that fight , Rockhold isnt as good as i thought he was. Hope weidman wins by submission


I think you mean Weidman isn't as good as you thought he was, because Luke looked great in that match and won every round and then completely annihilated Chris with the ground and pound.

Well being from Ireland and being a Conor fan I'm afraid to say he will lose this fight once again, unless Conor learns some great bjj and fast then I can't see him winning this. I don't really understand how Dana and Lorenzo allowed this, they even went to his house and talked about it and allowed him to have this fight which he shouldn't even be allowed, I understand he's selling the fights and rightly so he should be allowed a little leewaymwith things but millions of people watched Diaz soak up Conor power punches and they really did nothing apart from open up Nate's eye. If I was Conor I would take up Eddie bravos offer and train some bjj with him.

Edgar and aldo was offered the fight after RDA pulled out and both denied it, and before anyone says "they weren't ready" then they should both seriously stop saying "I'll fight Conor anywhere anytime" especially that prick aldo.

Why has no one mentioned max for a title shot? After Conor beat him he's been unbeaten and has been winning in some good style and is looking great, I would love to watch him and Conor again rather than "Jose 13 seconds Aldo"

Let's be honest though with the Weidman v Rockhold match, Chris didn't have a broken foot, that's just an excuse for getting busted up, watching the fight both fighters where in great shape and Chris was walking fine.

Great to see Cain coming back, one of the best fighters I've ever watched, just very injury prone.

If anyone here bets, I would strongly suggest Diaz to win via submission, if I had to say it would be either a rear naked choke or leg lock, if Conor does lose this match I'm afraid to say all the cute talk will not be so cute anymore and he will not be taken serious, if he does win though I don't think he will return to 145 because.

1. If he beats Diaz then it's 1-1 obviously Diaz will want his rematch
2. Conor will want to fight at his walking weight as am sure he doesn't like cutting down and looking like a skeleton.
3. It's been roumered GSP came back to fight Conor (if he beat Diaz) so if Conor wins this and if there's not a rematch then this will set up the biggest fight in combat sports between Conor and GSP.

So who do you guys got for this weekends ufc live on FOX.

Would have been great to see fergun and khabib go at it but unfortunate ferguson pulled out with a serious injury. The same with lyoto machida vs dan henderson. Lyoto came forward and admitted to using a drug which he didnt know it was a banned drug from the UFC. So that fight was scrapped.

I would like to see Khabib, rashas evans and john dodson all win. That fight between tecia torres and rose namajunas, who completely destroyed Paige VanZant, will be going at it. I dont have any picks for that but cant wait to see it.

So again. What are your thoughts and who do you think will come out with a win?

I'm mainly looking forward to Evans v Teixeira and I'm hoping Rashad wins it.

Yesterday was a bit of an upset for Rashad Evans, knocked out in round one. Glover Teixeira looks like a tough guy, I remember I thought he may have a chance of beating Jon Jones two years back. Cub Swanson won yesterday too so not a whole bad night..
