Dos anjos vs Conor seems like it's happening so fast lol. 5 weeks away.
Which way is everyone swinging?
I'm going Conor tko in the third. Just think that dos anjos chin when tested could be the deciding factor. Dos anjos recently made it sound he will be coming out swinging and continue to do so which is why I feel he will loose. If he is smart he will ground him and keep him there. He has the skills to win for sure but his best chances are on the ground. I know he has knockout power and can trade but feel Conor could beat him standing.
Gonna place a bet on dos anjos though. Head says Conor but my big gut says dos anjos and dos anjos isn't gonna stand a chance in the betting odds so £50 is better spent on him.

I think it is, I read a report that said Cain was out with a back injury, then they sub'd Stipe, then Werdum pulled out with an injury the next day. Looks like it'll be headed by Wonderboy and Big Rig instead.
Kind of a shitty card
As for RDA v. McGregor, going with Conor on that one, he said he's going to beat him within one minute, that he's a "bum version of Aldo" lol. If that happens it's going to be crazy as fuck! Who was the last person with two belts at once in the UFC? BJ? Couture like a decade ago?

Ex-champ Jon Jones would fight Stipe Miocic at UFC 196 – if heavyweight belt is on line

Can't and won't happen. He doesn't want the interim title but the actual title. I'm shocked that he doesn't want the title holder but a stand in. Fight for an interim title then bypass Cain. Say look you had your chance now wait in line. With all the injuries Cain gets, who knows when this would actually happen. Interim makes sense to me. I'm also sure the champ isn't injured, he just doesn't want a short notice fight. Can't blame him tbh,title is on the line. Non title fight and I bet he would fight him.

Isn't Jones fighting DC at the end of april?

They did but not at the same time so they never held 2 belts. On separate occasions they did.

I was thinkin if mcgregor beats dos anjos and is the only guy to hold 2 belts at the same time would this make him the lb4lb best fighter in the world? He would have to have beaten two of the best lb4lb to have both belts
The ufc wouldn't allow it before McGregor. When Frankie Edgar was the 155lb champ the ufc wanted him to move down to 145 but he had to give up the belt at 155

What do you guys think of adding more weight classes and eliminating the weight cut? Hold a summit in Vegas and tell every fighter to come in as in shape as possible, give them time to prepare, pay them for coming out, and register them into solid weight classes so they don't have to cut weight the week of the fight anymore. This would improve performance and increase the safety aspect for the fighters
