@KryptoBud sure, but would pay $100 to watch Floyd with anyone. As of now we'll never have that opportunity again, which is a sad day in combat sports boxing specific. So ya to get him in the ring even to box up McGregor, I'll take it.

I'm taking Stipe, gotta go with the proven even tho my gut says Ngannou is like nothing we've seen before... but could just be framed very well? What are we missing with Ngannou? Where are the gaps?
I like Stipe too, he needs to kick the shit outta his legs, take him down, and wear him out. Most guys with that much power and muscle mass have a small gas tank. I think Overeem got a little over confident, sloppy, and paid for it.

No mohterfucking way we see Khabib v. Ferguson. I guarantee it. I'm not even getting hyped for this because I already know it won't happen.

Fuck Dana White for hyping this shit knowing the same thing
Just watched the press conference Khabib vs Ferguson, they're fighting for the real belt. It'll happen this time, they also announced a rematch between rose and joanna as the co main.

Predictions?

I like both Rose and Joanna, it's tough to pick a winner. I think Joanna is the best striker in the female division for sure, nobody else even comes close. I think she may have underestimated Rose in their first fight, or maybe didn't take her as seriously as she should have, I doubt she makes that mistake again. I think she's going to train hard for this fight and come back with the win with some heavy hands in the second fight.

Khabib v. Ferguson looks to be on. I can't fucking wait to see that fight! A lot of questions are going to be answered. Tony is unreal on the ground backed up by very proficient, unorthodox, unpredictable striking while Khabib is undoubtedly the best grappler in the entire company with insane strength with a will and mindset to match. What happens when an unmovable object meets and unstoppable force? I guess we're gonna find out on April 7th!

I like joanna in the rematch.

yeah but Khabib was healthy for his last fight.chances are pretty high he'll hurt himself getting out of bed before his nxt fight lolz
I bet the ufc is hoping Khabib gets hurt. As long as he's healthy their cash cow isn't coming back.

UFC 222
Edgars gonna beat Holloway

Last nights main and co main were pathetic. One sided beatings, both of them. UFC needs to find fighters and not worry about making stars, sad,sad excuse for championship fights. Did anyone tell Francis that ground fighting was allowed in mma? I didn't think he would be great on the mat, but that was awful.

Best part of the night was Stipe taking the belt from Dana and giving it to his coach.

They are getting good at framing fighters of having a better chance than should realistically be given. Sure anyone can win, but "there are levels to this." I was even buying it in both cases. I picked both champs to win but the media had me second guessing my choices.
You could tell by the way Stipe took the belt from Dana and gave it to his coach to put around him when Buffer called out the winner he was pretty fed up with it too

Stipe is the baddest HW ever, I'd put him top 5 in the entire company along with guys like Demetrious Johnson

The UFC's catching some heat from fans and other fight camp's for promoting Ngannou the way they did. They had to know he was lacking in every area besides power. That might've been the worst title fight I've seen. That one or Nunez v Rousey where one fighter is completely outclassed.

They shit all over some of their best fighters Stipe, Woodley, Amanda Nunez, or DJ and promote the hell outta Ngannou, mcducker, PVZ, cm punk, sage northcut or justin gaethje. That's gotta rub some people the wrong way. I was gonna add Rousey to the list, but she fought who was there and beat them all I can't blame her for lack of competition.

They also announced Cyborg's next fight, in July vs. Amanda Nunez

Anyone think Joanna gets her belt back in the rematch with rose?
I think she wins the rematch. Obviously Rose is a beast, but that finish was just a hair flukey to me.

I think Joanna seems like the kind of fighter that will come in a little pissed off about it and put a beat down on her. I hope that happens. Women's MMA needs a legit trilogy/rivalry.

I agree. I was listening to people argue that he's not better than Cain. I laughed until I realized they were serious. Cain doesn't deserve to be talked about in the best HW ever conversation. He's beat 3 fighters since 2011.
