What about the shyt Dana was talking about not putting Woodley on another PPV main event, because he's so boring? And surely the only possible mega fight in the UFC would be if GSP gets an impressive win over Bisping, Then they get Wittaker to step aside set up McGregor vs GSP? Would you consider another Diaz fight to be forward movement from McGregor? Seems like going backwards to me?.

I think Woodley took some heat from Dana & a certain cohort of fans because of his style in his past few fights, but I'm of the camp that believes Woodley is a highly talented, highly dangerous individual who fights very smart, and very technical. I think the fact that you'd have the former Featherweight Champion, and current Lightweight Champion, taking a shot at the Welterweight belt...is so unprecedented, so unthinkable, that it'd sell big time. Woodley is a highly talented, highly dangerous chess player....he mightn't guarantee excitement, but he's as dangerous as they come. I believe for its potential historical value, it'd be a big seller.

GSP? Not sure, can't see him coming from Middleweight to Lightweight to be honest...unless Conor was happy to go at 170 with him? It'd certainly be a big fight, but short of it being a bragging right, what's in it for Conor should he win? There's no new belt, no history made etc. I suppose that'll come down to how the Bisping fight goes really, and having not fought for four years, it's hard to see him handling Bisping all that easily.

Personally I've no real interest in Diaz 3. I think McGregor is a far superior fighter than Nate, gas tank notwithstanding. I feel if Conors cardio doesn't let him down, Nate has nothing for him....and I say that as a fan of Nate. The guy is unreal, so bloody tough, but McGregor, in a technical sense, is far above him.

I think the Khabib fight holds the most interest for me, or Tony perhaps.

But say does win somehow on Saturday. Don't you think he would take a fight with Canelo or GGG? And even if he loses. Wouldn't a boxing fight with Paulie Malinaggi be more lucrative than most fights he could consivably set up next in an octogon?.

Why fight Canelo or GGG? If he beats Mayweather, he'll likely say he's beaten the unbeatable, and beaten the best that boxing had to offer. We all know Conor isn't a pro boxer, and I think it's highly unlikely to see him in the ring with active professional boxers. As I said above, this is a rare opportunity, right time, right place, but I don't believe for a second he'll continue in the ring. He'll return to the UFC, continue to raise his profile, and ultimately, end up as a part owner or somesuch. Boxing doesn't hold that opportunity for him, so why hang around?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh it's fight week offically now

Not sure if everyone watched the MMA Hour or not, couple of things:

1. John said Gunni Nelson's appeal over the Ponzi' loss is being adjudicated by the UFC themselves due to Scotland having no commission, so Marc Ratner is the man. Call me cynical but Dana's favourite person in the world right now rhymes with Shonor McBregor... so it's a slam dunk that gets turned into a No Contest. Not a hope Ratner/Dana will want to annoy Conor

2. John made his prediction for the fight. He made 2 predictions:

a) If Floyd comes forward he predicts Conor to KO him inside 60 seconds of round 1.

b) If Floyd fights defensively, he predicts Conor by KO round 6.

That gun tag thing looks like a great laugh. Mayweather chowing down on burger king :pac:

Wow, really? Didn't know they could rule it as a no contest this far out.

Just listening to the song that came out a few days ago, is it the same tune as this?

https://youtu.be/3pRwyKgIatI

Is that a well known tune? It sounds very familiar to me?

Ladies, ladies please. Let's get back to the subject.

Genuine 2 part question for the MMA fans.

(A) What do you think will be McGregor's next move after Aug 26th. Will he retire from combat sports, make a return to the UFC or fight again in Boxing

I think he's done with MMA, win, lose or draw, unless Dana can put something together with monster money for him. I don't think anyone at 155 produces 5 that and I don't think Woodley does at 170. Only GSP maybe.

Win and the money involved would make fights against GGG/Canelo winner or Pacquiao too hard to resist I think.

Lose and maybe a Malignaggi fight can be made.

Axwell

Sounds nothing like it to me

Also love Artem, running through the gaf with a glock, laughing like some Bond villain.

Boxing is dead. He won't make that money again bar a Floyd rematch.

You're probably right, it's definitely reminding me of something though and it's driving me mental trying to think of what it is!

Waterboys - Fishermans Blues maybe (without all the other instruments just the general tune)

Jesus, lasted 10 seconds with that. Mrs Brown in the background says it all.

Id imagine you are supposed to play it some what like paintball where you if you are shot you go back to the start or something, the lads running around just firing 10 shots into someone one after another and getting shot back

a) you've just trotted out an absolute bull**** line with no evidence to support it whatsoever. The"boxing is dead" line is laughable. Well done.

b) The money he would make against any of GGG/Canelo/Pacquiao, if he beats Floyd, would dwarf anything the UFC could pay him.

Jesus there's been some outrageous comments on this thread lately but this one takes the biscuit.

(It's a joke. I know you're not directly comparing the two songs)

Id just love to know how he stumbled across the other one in the first place with Mrs Brown in the background..

Absolutely. Completely irrelevant to the point I was making though.

I actually can't explain it, and it took me a while to even find it. I now have some sort of weird mix of the two tunes stuck in my head. I should stop interneting for the day.

EagererBeaver

Cheers lads, you've just ruined one of my favourite songs ever and I now have a weird mashup in my head where Fogarty and Mrs Brown are singing about Clare hurling.
