Seeing as they're already doing things like giving Lobov high profile fights because he's friends with McGregor, it's not much of a stretch.

To be fair, that's a problem that's going to solve itself because Cub's going to loving kill him.

Lobov's better than he used to be, but the reason why people think so little of him is because he used to be very bad.

There's a lot of different ways Khabib and Tony can win and either one of them could make it look really hard, or really easy depending on how the unanswered questions are answered. Way moreso than any other fight, imo.

Tony's habit of rolling out of body-locks and takedowns will either work brilliantly or get him into heaps of trouble and I really want to know which.

That possibility, and that of Khabib getting into Tony's guard and working from there are the real problems for Tony on the ground, imo.

Provided Khabib doesn't return to the dust from which he came either guy will probably work right back into a title shot within the year when they lose.

Dana's claiming that if Khabib's team had called the UFC before going to the hospital, he probably still could have fought, and Islam Machkaev is saying Khabib's okay now.

Dana's just throwing Khabib under the bus the way Dana does, and Islam Mackhaev probably isn't a doctor, as far as I know.

Nate Diaz to USA TODAY posted:

People who treat it like it’s a business, wearing a suit, acting a certain way, like Woodley and Thompson, they’re so boring. You guys are acting in a certain way you think you should be acting to be professional, but the best example of a professional fighter is me and my brother.

I think describing Woodley as just an overhand right ignores a lot of the attributes and intangibles around that punch that make it so deadly for Woodley, but Ellenberger cracked Thompson with the same punch, so it's probably just a hole in his game that he's going to keep getting caught out by.

Is there anyone aside from Woodley and Ellenberger at 170 who have that kind of wrestler with an overhand right thing nowadays, though?
