    McGregors next fight is Woodley/wonderboy winner or Diaz 3 imo.

    Not a chance for Diaz imo. Woodley/Wonderboy makes sense, especially if Khabib wins and is starving himself for Ramadan.

    Diaz/ McGregor 3 is like their Trump card. They'd be stupid to play it now, when McGregor can currently draw nearly as much on his own.

    But down the line? If he's coming off a loss, or he beats Woodley and Khabib, they'll make it.

    I honestly don't think Wonderboy deserves a rematch. The draw was a stupid decision, Woodley soundly beat the ****e out of him for 3 rounds and the two that Wonderboy won were close.

    Back in the queue and give Maia his chance.

    He said in November that he wanted to fight Maia on the Rousey - Nunes card but the UFC wouldn't say yes.

    I was all for Wonderboy first time but he disappointed big time never hurt woodley really if were honest he was the only one close to being finished would rather the Maia fight like Wonderboy fight Lawler or sometime in the meantime.

    Give wonderboy a fight with Condit or Lawler or something. Let him re-earn a title fight.

    If Holm wins the FW title at 208

    Could they then have her fight Rousey? They could spin it as Rousey as having a difficult weight cut to 135 and she'd be more at home at 145

    If she still wants to fight I wouldn't be surprised to see it

    No. Not one person would pay to see that demolition job

    I don't doubt that the UFC would try it, but it would be hugely irresponsible.

    Ronda should retire. Dana has pressured people to retire before and he should do it again.

    Holly at 145 would beat the hell out of Ronda again.

    That a joke?

    Holm v Rousey II would be a MASSIVE success.

    What's the story with Nick Diaz contract wise? Is he still under contract to the UFC.

    Would like to see him do the smart thing, like Cruz, and have a tune up fight against a top 15 guy.

    I hope Wonderboy smashes Woodley this time, shuts him up and then Maia gets the next shot.

    They are both in big trouble if Maia drags them to the ground and it's worrying that Condit (in particular) couldn't stop it. I really think Condit has some of the best footwork and control of distance in the division and even he was taken down very easily.

    Woodley would make a better job of handling Maia purely down to his wrestling but I think it's fair to say if Maia gets anybody in the UFC on the ground right now, at pretty much any weight class near him, he'd cut through them like Marcelo Garcia in his prime.

    Unrelated - It'd be kinda fun if they wheel out Jack Black for Wonderboy's walk-out a la Sinead O' Connor at 189.

    If Maia could out grapple Sonnen Gunni and Story I fancy him to get Woodley down at least once, might be an explosive wrestler but Maia is a genius he had Rory Mounted in rd 1 too only for his good bjj he survived that scare.

    He looked nervous and tentative in the first fight i thought, wouldn't think he'd be like that in the 2nd fight

    Oh and god forbid people get excited about an exciting fighter

    I take it UFC London in March will be early hours to suit US time?. Because they are doing a CageWarriors show same night and Cage Warriors now affiliated usually works as a segway into the UFC early premins.

    It's not a PPV so I doubt it'll be a late one, regular UK hours.

    It's a fight night event and they're normally on at a normal time for the country they're in,

    Reports of the fire kid signing for the UFC

    http://www.flocombat.com/article/50172-fighter-to-watch-2017-tom-duquesnoy#.WHThSBuLSUk

    Surely one of the best prospects in Europe at the moment.


    Edit: As far as i can tell April 15th is a Kansas City PPV
