He keeps getting better and better every fight, I hope he gets a title shot now I think he could def be champ
Me too! I think if Alvarez beats McGregor, Ferguson get's the title shot! I think Alvarez beats McGregor and then we see that fight happen!

OMFG I haven't been so excited for a fight in a long time! I HOPE WE SEE IT!!!

I'm dying to see the McGregor v. Aldo rematch too, I hope McGregor loses, then gets a BIG win or two over number one contenders, just because a McGregor/Aldo rematch with Mac coming off a loss would be kind of disappointing and I feel like the PPV numbers would reflect that, especially for a fight so big. I also hate the idea of making Aldo wait so long for a rematch.. dude was champ for a decade, nobody deserves it more. I just don't see many other ways it plays out, and who know's, Aldo might be fed up with fighting by then, maybe even done with the entire thing, and that would be very sad because he's up there with the rest of the GOATs, and to see him robbed like that because it would be better for business for the UFC would be even more upsetting.

Also, I can't wait to see this Tyron Woodley v. Wonderboy fight, that's going to be awesome! Same thing with Michael Johnson's next fight. I hope that guy stays in the zone and keeps training hard, his striking is amazing, I think he could be a huge prospect!

To much wwe not enough ufc. It seems champions are able to pick and choose who they fight now. I don't know why they rank fighters they don't decide who fights who. CM hasn't thrown a punch at lightweight but gets a title shot when he hasn't even defended his FW belt yet? I guess being choked out and winning a razor thin decision after being saved by the bell twice earns a title shot. I think his belt should be on the line at 205 also. If he loses it let the top 2 fw fight for it. Even If CM loses he'll get an immediate rematch anyway and still have a belt so he gets the PPV money so he has nothing to lose fighting in different weight classes.The excuse for losing would be the same as last time he's fighting guys 50lbs heavier just like the diaz fight.

Don't get me wrong I think it's cool what CM tryna do, which is somthing dan Henderson already did in pride, but he should earn the title shot not just be given one until he finally squeaks out a decision for the second belt,.mcgregor prolly has a lot to do with why kabib hasent gotten a title shot yet cause he could never beat him he atleast has a chance against Alvarez...the guy sure knows how to build himself up tho you gotta give him that he's not only a fighter but a brilliant self marketer Iv never seen the UFC want Someone to be champ so bad, and let's say he beats Alvarez and kabib beats Johnson you know they're not gonna give kabib a title shot they'll have him fight someone els or give Alvarez a rematch, and that'll be after a year of only fighting FW with both belts

with Ronda being our of the picture and jones'legal problems,the Ufc has had to depend on cm.he has carried the brand for a year+ easy.I will give him that.he's going to get a little impartial treatment no doubt.his shtick is annoying to some,but dude can fill seats and sell ppvs.I think aldo got robbed by not getting a rematch.dude is a legend and unfortunately to all the cm fanboys he'll only be remembered for his 13 second defeat.sad how so many cm fans are such noobs and have zero clue of thay the WEC even existed . I hope aldo gets a shot someday.
the Woodley/Wonderboy is going to be sick,both are slick ass fighters.I think people want/like Khabib,we just haven't had much of a chance to see him fihjt.dude has been plagued by so mant injuries.
props to ferguson,fought and won against an awesome opponent.rda tore up Diaz with leg kicks(nate needs work on leg checks lol)so I will give ferguson respect.he deserves a title shot,I agree.
YES!YES!YES!YES! HOW ABOUT DIEGO THOUGH?

Aldo been robbed with the Alvarez mcgregor fight
100% agree. I can't think of anyone who deserves it more than Jose Aldo. Complete bullshit

Also agree

I also agree with this. Johnson, Khabib, Ferguson, then Alvarez. Not only would it solidify him as the #1 contender, it would shut down every criticism and add to his legacy. If I were him, this is the path I would want to take just to shut everybody the fuck up for good. Not only would he improve stepping up the lightweight ladder, he'd gain hearts and minds. Nobody would be able to deny him if he beat the three of those guys then challenged Alvarez for the title! That would be an even bigger moment than when he KO'd Aldo which I didn't think was possible! Especially if Alvarez had a few impressive title defenses in the meantime. I have been dying to see a SUPER dominant champ challenge another SUPER dominant champ in a different weight class since GSP was active.

If he plans on fighting at lightweight for a while, I think he should vacate the FW title and stop holding up that division. Come back to it later and get an immediate rematch against the champ as Lightweight champion. That, too, I think would just be really good for his legacy. Fans would look at that and see strength and power.

Well it wouldn't be as impressive if he was lightweight champ then dropped a class to get the FW belt, it just sounds slot better to go up a class and get a second belt, I don't think he'll be fighting lightweight much win or lose tho...I mean if he loses he'll prolly defend at FW a couple times build up more hype then get another shot at the LW belt again anyway and if he actually does get that belt he'll hold that for as long as possible and do all his fighting at FW as a 2 belt champ until he can't put off a fight at LW any longer, and then they'll prolly have him defend against someone who shouldn't even fight for the belt to help his chances of keeping it after all that's what's best for business so that's what will likely happen

If Khabib could stay healthy for a good length of time I can't see anyone at 155 beating him. He's been wrestling bears since he could walk lol. That's just nuts.

DC got good news today. Jones got 1 year suspension for a contaminated supplement so DC gets to be a place keeper a little longer. I wonder if he'd be allowed to fight for the HW belt while holding the LHW belt. I think he beats Stipe.

BJ Penn won the LW and WW belts in the UFC but wasn't allowed to hold them concurrent. There's a few guys that could've done it but it just wasn't allowed until CM. I'd like to see him fight some of the top guy's in either division but, the guy puts asses in seats. I think the UFC knows if he loses again his PPV draw is fucked I think that why he gets to jump to the head of the line. Alvarez is one of the best match ups for him in the LW division. He's willing to stand and brawl so gets hit alot CM has pop and throws crazy kicks.
