Haha. Can't believe Conor has managed to talk himself into this one. He's the ****ing best. I really hope it happens.

Who we picking for UFC 211 then? I'm going:
Miocic vs JDS - Stipe will probably win, but going with my heart. Want JDS to get that belt back
Jedrzejczk vs Andrade - JJ by mauling
Maia vs Masvidal - Great fight, but Demian just too good at WW
Frankie vs Rodriguez - I like the look of Yair Rodriguez, this could be a huge break-out fight for him
Jotko vs Branch - Branch looked spectacular capturing 2 belts in WSOF. Interested to see how he does on his return to the UFC. Great fight!
Alvarez vs Poirier - Good fight. Should be a 3 round war that could go either way, I'll go Alvarez.
Very nice card!

****ing amazing card.. JDS although I would prefer if Stipe defends.
JJ by decision but Andrade to come.close to finishing her at least once.
Want Maia to win but I think Masvidal takes this. Basing this on what happened to Jacare.
Edgar for life. Hope he mauls Yair.
Haven't seen branch before so no clue.
Alvarez for me too.

Branch is really good. Only losses in his career have come against monsters - got slam KO'd by Harris, submitted by Palhares and beaten at catchweight by Rumble. In WSOF he's been on a hell of a run. Took out Jesse Taylor when he was in the middle of a long win streak, brutally TKO'd Okami, he's beaten some really good guys. 2 weight champion, #8 ranked MW in the world, so really interested to see how he goes in his 2nd UFC run.

Great night of fights. Sooooo happy for JJ, Edgar and Stipe. WAG Stipe is, love him. Best right hand in the sport.

Joanna's the ****ing best, but man, Andrade can take a punch. She's like a robot, took some huge shots and kept moving forward, fair play to her.
Edgar looked spectacular, and man, Stipe mauled JDS. DC was spot on though, JDS needs to stop moving back against the cage, he keeps getting hurt there. Who's next for Stipe now? Ngannou? Or is it too soon?

Too soon imo. That guy is young by heavyweight standards. No need to push him up this soon.. Give him some time so that he can realise his potential. Cain would have been my choice but he seems to be perpetually injured.

I have a conspiracy theory on how McGregor vs Mayweather and everything after it will unfold
So here's the scene: McGregor fights Mayweather on August 26. Tony Ferg gets booked against Khalabib for the interim 155 belt shortly after, fighting in the USA.
McGregor's contract says he can't do any MMA **** otherwise he loses all the money. He has to box Mayweather. Clean and simple. McGregor does all the talking, has the whole fight camp, the videos and pics on Instagram, goes around the world saying he will knock Mayweather out.
Come fight night. McGregor and Mayweather and the the ring. The bell goes off. They box. Mayweather wins round one. Mayweather wins round 2. McGregor is boxing him, getting picked apart, getting worked, but boxing him.
The bell goes off to signal the start of Round 3. Connor nods to Dana white in the corner. McGregor advances. His hands are down. He screams out nice and loud - "FOOK YOU FLOYD, AND FOOK BOXING"
He kicks him in the head.
Mayweather crumples onto the mat.
Chaos ensues.
The bell rings as security and both cornersmen flood the ring. The crowd has gone wild. There are cheers, there are boos. McGregor is DQed, and Floyd gets to 50 and 0. But he's being woken up and pulled of the mat as McGregor runs like a mad man possessed to every corner of the ring, climbing up the turnbuckles, screaming out to the thousands of fans and millions watching at home. Some are disgusted. Some are horrified. Some are hysterical. But we are all reacting.
Is absolute pandemonium for days and days. McGregor has to be ******ed by security out of the arena and put on private plane back home. He loses all the money from the fight. Floyd's team issues a lawsuit after him. Mayweather is rushed to a hospital where his has to suck food in through a straw.
The only thing on the whole world's mind is the fight. Every sports outlet on the planet is only talking about it. Experts and analysts call out McGregor for being a cheat and a coward and a horrible human being. They say he assaulted Mayweather. They say what he did was uncouth and horrible. The build up the only man to have ever knocked Floyd Mayweather out in a sanctioned boxing match as the greatest villain of all time. Then they attack MMA. They attack Dana White, the UFC, call them a bunch of thugs and barbarians, not trustworthy. Call them animals.
All this attention, all these voices, all the words printed and all the soundbites. They do all they can, but they can't change the fact that millions around the world saw the greatest boxer of all time get knocked out by an MMA fighter. Suddenly people everywhere are training how to kick each other in the head. Suddenly people everywhere I learning how to grapple. Suddenly, boxing starts to lose it's street cred.
Meanwhile, in the main event of a UFC PPV, Khabib takes down, wrestle ****s, and grounds and pounds Tony Ferguson in a brutal 5 round beating. Khabib wins the belt and moves to 25-0 in the greatest performance of his career. He then gets on the mic and calls out the Irish Chicken Connor McGregor.
McGregor tweets out a minute later - You and Me Khabib, in Russia. It's on.
The following months are full of promotion for the biggest MMA fight in all time. The Notorious Connor McGregor -the biggest villain in all of combat sports, the two weight MMA world champion, the only man to have knocked out Floyd Mayweather- is going to face Khabib 'The Eagle' Nurmagomedov -the unbeaten, 25-0 Russian monster- in his home town in Russia, in fronts of a hundreds of thousands blood thirsty Russian fans in the largest arena the country has to offer.
The fight is huge. The two go around the world talking ****. This is set to be the largest UFC PPV of all time. UFC absolutely stacks the card. The sports media can talk about nothing else. The noise around the event is louder than anything ever seen.
Vladmir Putin says he will be in the audience for the fight.
Come fight night. Everyone is tuning it. The world has come to a stop to watch this fight. It's the largest selling PPV of all time, and surpasses even the Mayweather vs McGregor fight. This is the sporting event of the year. And the stadium is packed to the brim with loud, drunk Russian fans. They've come to watch Khabib take down the biggest star in combat sports today. They've come to watch Russian show it's dominance on the world stage. They've come for blood.
And Conor gives it to them.
In a clinical display, reminiscent of his destruction of Eddie Alvarez, Conor takes apart and finished Khabib in the first round. In front of an all Russian audience, in front of Vladmir Putin, in front of the 10s of millions of people watching from all around the world.
The legend is secure. Conor is unbeatable. Conor is untouchable. Conor is the Greatest of All Time.
But he isn't done. Oh no.
He gets on the mic, and he yells out one thing.
"I HAVE ONE FOOKING FIGHT LEFT, AND YOU ALL KNOW WHAT IT IS
NATE DIAZ, GET OFF URE SKINNY FAT BUM AND COME FIGHT ME FOR THIS BELT. LETS SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Surprise surprise mother****ers. The Trilogy fight.
The biggest fight in the history of all combat sports.
Madison Square Garden. Main Event. Breaks all PPV records. The audience is filled with celebrities, politicians, and billionaires. The biggest names. The hottest names. This fight is the place to be. This fight is the biggest thing of all day. Both Nate and Conor stand to earn more money from this fight than Conor would have made if he didn't headkick Floyd. Not only that, but the last fight and this one have elevated MMA to mainstream consciousness. This isn't just another combat sport. This is **THE** combat sport. And this is the biggest fight in it's history.
How does this fight play out?
Well, if you think about it, there is only really one way that it can end.
And it would be ****ing amazing.

Fly him out to Ireland right after the fight.
He refuses to return to the USA
He fights Khabib in Russia, where no one gives a **** if you're a criminal or not. ****ing Putin is in the audience. And the fight does huge numbers. Incredible amounts of money.
And once that's done, McGregor's star is so big he's basically immune to jail time. The UFC is rolling in $$$, Dana White manages to get Floyd to settle in court with the UFC paying him off under the table. NYC sanctions the trilogy fight in New York, because as we've seen with the sanctioning of Mayweather/McGregor and Aaron Pico vs an 8-2 guy, they dgaf about anything else but $$$.
It will be awesome.

Yeah seriously. They are both sports. With different rules. Neither is a "real fight". There are moves that aren't allowed in MMA because they are really effective and/or dangerous - the type of stuff you wouldn't really hesistate in using in real life if you were fighting for your life. Not only that, but entire techniques are designed and work only in unrealistic scenarios like the boxing ring or the cage. Like you wouldn't do half the things in terms of getting close and grappling if the other guy had the potential of having a knife in his back pocket that he could stab your throat with. Let alone unarmored things like eye gouging and groin kicks.
And yea, if he tries that **** in the ring, there's a good chance he'll be in jail.
