Yeah, much as I like Cowboy, Gaethje is gonna **** him up with leg/body kicks.
If Gaethje has any sense, he'll rush Cowboy at the start, seeing as he's a notoriously slow starter. His wrestling should make sure it stays standing as well.

Cowboy got demolished by RDA about two weeks after McGregor beat Aldo at 194.

Since then McGregor has had four UFC fights. Cowboy has had 13 ffs. Crazy.

terrible fight for cowboy fighting a lad thats gonna keep coming at you, can't imagine anyone else was looking for justin though

he'll do well to get out of the first

Dana has said McGregor won't be fighting this year anyway.

He should just retire IMO.

He did?!

Justin chin is going to crack very soon if he keeps fighting the way he does, iv a feeling he will beat Cowboy and fight McGregor and McGregor will ko him early ,

McGregor will never take that fight, he is all about movement, won't be moving well after he takes a few Kicks

Not a chance Conor would take that fight

He'd take the cowboy fight a lot quicker

Every top fighter in the lightweight division matched up now will be exiting few months. Cowboy Gathje isn't a fight I ever thought about , love it!

Not officially but because he is the co main against Barboza he said he is going to make sure his weight is 155 in case one of the headliners pull out last minute.

Subcomandante Marcos · 19-07-2019 6:46pm

So unkranked Felder will get the nod ahead of ranked Barbosa to fight for a title?

FOH with that Dana White nonsense.

The UFC, where being a company man will get you further than your skills ever could.

No I didn’t say that. Fielder is choosing to make 155 instead of the 156 he can make for his non championship fight. Dana has said nothing about as far as I know. Maybe Tony will be on standby who knows? Fielder is also ranked 10th and is on a 4 fight win streak at lightweight compared to Barboza being seventh but on a 1 fight win streak.

Beersmith · 19-07-2019 7:57pm

Felder is ranked?!!

He really shouldn't be, definitely not in the top 10.

Didn't Felder lose to Mike Perry less than a year ago?

That was at welterweight

Barboza cant fight for the belt if he is 156lbs. Stand in needs to make 155 just like the champ.
Smart move from Felder tbh.

Yeah and a bit of slack to him, went up a weight class at short notice and broke his arm didn't he? And it was a close fight. Defo top 15 and nearly top 10 in LW for sure. Guy comes to fight and has skills.

He’s currently ranked no. 10. Wouldn’t argue with that. But I also don’t see him climbing above Pettis, Gaethje.

Fair. Pettis doesn't fight LW anymore though so he should be taken off.

Bautista v Son on the prelims is a fun fight right now.

Great backtracking, I think anywhere ranked between 8-12 is pretty fair (defo cemented if he beats Barboza) and as others said its a smart move coming in at 155, i'm sure Barboza will do the same.

TerrorFirmer · 22-07-2019 9:15am

Anyone see Hernandez v Trinaldo?

First round or two...

rob316 · 22-07-2019 9:34am

Ah that's the Jon Jones we loved to hate. He can drop the nice guy act now.

Charged with battery for putting a cocktail waitress in a chokehold in a strip club in April.

The Nal · 22-07-2019 9:40am

....accused Jones of slapping her, pulling her down to his lap and kissing her on the neck. She also alleged that Jones put her in a choke hold and picked her up and continued to touch her after she asked him to stop.

Jones reportedly failed to show up for an arraignment for the battery charge in June and a bench warrant was issued.

JJayoo · 22-07-2019 11:52am

Is Jones banging Holly Holm?

Ultimate Seduction · 22-07-2019 12:41pm

He has it on Twitter that it's complete bull****. If there was a bench warrant for his arrest since June he'd have been arrested by now, surley?
