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 anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The main event is actually you vs. me in kickboxing.

I'm warning you, I may be lacking in speed, strength, technique, and cardio, but I have the determination of a thousand Bob Sapps.

Im recovering from illness and might be getting a CT scan soon, so at the very least im as qualified as Fujita. Lets go.

It’s the only way to keep the main event good. Otherwise Khabib vs Pettis 2018 is the most dead man walking squash match UFC has had since Bader fought that 40 year old dude.

Tbh I’m sorta glad the Holloway fight is off cause even though I respect Max more than any other fighter right now for what he attempted, he was doomed. There was almost no way he’d beat a healthy Khabib with no prep and coming off an injury. That dude deserves a real training camp for his 155 title shot

so Pettis comes in overweight, it becomes a Khabib can win the title, Pettis can't thing. Pettis hits a showtime omoplata and gets the sub victory, keeping Conor as champ (until he gets stripped for committing a felony anyway). this is the universe I need to live in

He probably had a real bad cut trying to go from 180 to 155 in a few days, then the doc noticed his foot still wasn’t properly attached to his ankle, then noticed Dana white nervously try to bribe him
