I actually think i would enjoy the build up to mcgregor v kevin lee if it was to happen. Lee likes to talk **** just as much as conor does

Lee fought on the UFC Belfast card last year and started talking sh*t to Conor at ringside.

Conor had already left though and Lee looked like a jackass!

Artem to fight October 21st, UFC Gdansk. I think a few on here were thinking of going to it. Opponent TBA later this week apparently.

Diego Sanchez v Matt Brown in November at 170. What a bizzare fight. Could be a war though.

Don't think it's that bizarre, Matt brown coming off 3 losses and sanchez 1&2 in his last 3.

I think Matt brown steamrolls him though.

Bizzare in that Sanchez hasn't fought at 170 since 2012 and has lost numerous fights at both 145 and 155 in between.

Agreed i think Brown wins easy, but Sanchez takes so much punishment it could be a bloody war.

I'm not so sure about that any more. Going by his fights with Joe Lauzon and Al Iaquinta, it looks like his chin is gone.

That's quite possible, which makes it ecen stranger to be moving up to fight Brown. Admittedly Brown hasn't KOd or even beaten anyone in a while but he should be way too strong for Sanchez

My thoughts exactly. I think it's going to be a bad night for Sanchez.

I don't actually want to see Sanchez fight any more, particularly against Brown. Diego's chin is gone and he can't out-tough Matt

I've noticed that too, and neither fighter has put anything out to say it's confirmed either. Very strange.

UFC europe tends to be behind compared to the main accounts. It seems to be gone of all the main official accounts.

I bet Khabib was holding out for better terms, money, date, something along those lines so UFC called his bluff by putting out the Ferguson v Lee info and he has coming running back to them now dropping his demands.

Zero-Cool

Ah, I had only seen it on UFC Europe page. Does sound like Khabib panicked and is settling for whatever UFC want, using Lee as a pawn, not the first time UFC pulled that tactic. Interesting to see how this turns out but I'm hoping they just try Tony Khabib again with maybe Lee on standby.

I think Filli will pick him apart, wouldn't be surprised to see Artem to landy a flowy haymaker and spark him though.

Predictions for the main fights?

I'd go with Tonon and Shields but have to say I haven't followed in great detail lately.
