Connor can win the fight if he wants to win the fight probably. But I don't think he wants to. I think he wants to do stupid looking kicks and then hit a magic left hand on an iron chinned fighter who's taller than him and also left handed.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Ferguson basically said he thinks Khabib pulls out with injuries so much because he's cycling. Despite Khabib being tested like 6 times this year by USADA.

Khabib is a Russian athlete. Not only that a Russian athlete in MMA.

Of course hes on roids like lets be serious here.

Still love the guy but come on.

Yeah theres no way Khabib used to be on PEDs because he has looked scintillating in his 1 fight since USADA testing, a victory over the always dangerous on 2 days notice Darrel the Scorcher Horcher.

I have heard this. They strengthen some parts of the body but other bits like tendons and joints don't get stronger which means they have to endure the extra stress the rest of the body is now capable of taking.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
Michael Bisping is going to be loving terrified like 30 seconds into that fight and it's going to own so god drat hard. Michael Bisping knows he's better than Luke Rockhold, he knows he's better than Anderson Silva, but after touching gloves with Dan he's gonna be worried about that overhand right and he's gonna get caught with it again

Yeah Bisping definitely has looked scared, timid and helpless in recent rematches with fighters who brutally owned him the first time, sounds right

If after a couple of fights, Robbie Lawler retires, he wouldn't go into the hall of fame right? I don't know how they decide who goes in there or not.

Politics and money have as much of a say in it as career accomplishments and fan opinion, so trying to pick a hall of fame candidate outside of the most obvious and undeniable cases is an exercise in divination. Like you have to be a GSP or BJ Penn to be almost undoubted candidates and even people like Jon Jones have plausible reason to deny them just based on sheer public fuckupery.

He would not. There are only two people in the "modern" section of the HOF, Forrest Griffin and BJ Penn. Griffin was inducted in 2013 so they only throw people in there very sparingly. There is a 'fights' section as well, but they are typically landmark fights that marked a paradigm shift in the sport and not just 'goodest fights.' Robbie was a great champ and is a great fighter, but his era will be remembered as a part of history where the division was struggling to find itself after GSP retired, but before the amazing ten-year reign of Tyron 'The Chosen One' Woodley, who is unseated in 2027 by CM Punk.

He's just using the new strategy of looking like poo poo in your last fight, it's the best strategy for winning a belt this year.
See Holm, Miesha, Aldo, Alvarez, Woodley, Bisping.

Ya Robbie was in some of the best fights in UFC history and he was a champion. Who is the guy your referring to? Is it a tapout founder or something like that?

I think Conor can win, but I don't think it has all that much to do with his performance in the 'first 3 quarters' of the last one, given that Conor himself recognized that led almost directly to his loss in the last quarter of the last one.

If Conor does the exact same thing, but just for longer because he's come in with better cardio, he'll lose the same way, just later.
