    The contract for that fight would essentially be a murder license.

    When do we think DC v Jones 2 will be set for then? New York isn't going to happen anyway. UFC 196 in February 2016 maybe?

    I think it would be a stupid idea, financially speaking, to give Jones a Title fight straight away. Jones could fight anyone in the division and it will do huge numbers, make him earn the title shot and get 2 or 3 huge PPV numbers out of him before he gets the shot.

    It was just a tweet to PVZ saying he'd sent her a DM.

    What a smooth fecker, telling someone on a public forum you sent them a private message.

    New Fighter and The Kid podcast uploaded about an hour ago with Duane Ludwig on telling his side of the story about his falling out with Faber.

    The man is bat**** insane so this could be epic.

    Bang on McGregor vs Mendes.

    "Conor beat Chad, but he beat Chad when he was only good for a round, give Chad a full camp and he wins every time".

    Also reckons Aldo will beat Conor in December.

    He would say that though wouldn't he. Sick of hearing the whole "give Chad a full camp and he wins" argument. I'd say one thing if it went five rounds but he lasted two. I refuse to believe he was only fit enough to fight two rounds.

    Guess we're going round in circles here, no way did Mendes only have a 2 week camp, he and his team knew what Aldo was like and knew there was a good chance he would pull out, he was in training a LOT longer than 2wks, no doubt about it.

    He was hunting and going on 10k bike rides with his missus a week before Aldo pulled out.

    He said he only trained for 2 weeks, his coaches said he only trained for two weeks, a man who pushed Aldo for 5 rounds gassed after a round and a half where he was in top control for most of it.

    But you know better.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭CurryFlavoured


    Anyone who's watched Mendes regularly will know he wasn't near 100% against Conor, and it wasn't just the body kicks. He looked tired a minute in. This has been argued to death though.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,156 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatFromHue


    I'm fairly sure Mendes and Ludwig aren't that friendly anymore so there's no real reason for Ludwig to big him up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    Conor talking about Croke Park like it's actually a possibility.

    He can't actually believe that, can he?

    Not unless Croke Park is put on a boat and sent to Vegas.

    I thought it was established that UFC200 will be the first event at a new arena in Las Vegas

    I think it's definitely a legitimate possibility. They've admitted there are logistical issues but they're working on it. I'd imagine it relies on Conor's star continuing to rise.

    The new head off Europe said as much:

    http://m.independent.ie/sport/mma/ufc-unveil-new-chief-and-he-has-big-plans-for-ireland-31570979.html

    Again, it could be lip service to keep us happy but hopefully not.

    Mendes didn't have a 2 week camp he had two weeks to make weight

    It's never going to happen. The residents of the area will never let it happen.
    On top of that the curfew for Croke Park is something like 10 or 11pm. The UFC isn't going to have a PPV event that kicks off at 11am and finishes at 5pm on the eastern seaboard of the US, it would be suicide for sales.

    Ha yeah that's a good point.

    I think the Irish Open in Golf really struggles with this and have moved the event to a few different times in the calendar all with the same result.

    CM Punks debut "postponed" due to shoulder injury. Im still skeptical if he will ever step in the octagon.

    Not for the feint hearted. People gagging as the poo runs down his legs.

    He posted this on instagram a week before Aldo pulled out. He ran tough mudder the weekend previous.
    I'm not saying he was in full camp training mode, but he wasn't sitting on his couch drinking beers.

    He wasn't out of shape before getting the call, making weight was a non issue imo.
