He said himself he wants to fight 3 times this year before May, by the end of the summer and again before December. That schedule is grand.

Grand for him maybe and the way he thinks things will pan out but he’s not the one calling the shots. Not by a long way.

The fact that he is gonna be out for a pretty significant chunk of the year for religious obligations could be the difference between him fighting McGregor or him fighting the winner of Ferguson/McGregor.

Two fighters ready. One the interim champ. Defend or vacate mother ****er.

Triple threat match. It's the only logical solution

It's a month, not "a pretty significant chunk of the year".

He's not even "out" for a month, he just can't fight during that month. He can still train during Ramadan.

Lukker-

You can't train properly during Ramadan, and Khabib has said in the past that he wouldn't anyways.

Notice he doesnt have hangers on and a entourage to massasge his massive ego like Conor? .

Refreshing to see a REAL celeb being humble!.

Conor is a real celeb, just not the kind you like.

Keanu doesn't want or need an entourage.
He is rolling a €2,500 LV flight case though.

I bet he didn’t post an instragram photo of it.

Mayweather just put this up on Facebook...good to see he has his finger on the pulse.



Has the caption: I already ****ed you up in 2017 now they about to **** you up in 2018. You’re about to start your new year off with a bang

Ah jesus they're hardly brewing an MMA fight are they? Very bizarre post from Floyd.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about it, it’s going to be Ferguson vs Khabib first lads.

Ramadan is a month yes but the amount of time that he would have to sacrifice in order to honor his obligations would be substantially greater. He’s a professional fighter and Ramadan has repercussions for him that it doesn’t for people with ordinary everyday jobs.

During Ramadan itself he would not be able to train, eat or sleep properly. Many strict Muslims boxers would not spar during Ramadan and I know Khabib is a very devout Muslim.

Realistically he would not be able to fully commit to a training camp until Ramadan is finished. Even with just a six week camp starting right after Ramadan he’s still out from mid May to the end of July. That’s a significant chunk of the year.

I can't see khabib fighting 3 times in a year but he has fought in July twice, once in the UFC. He had a few in May and August too.

Ramadan is at different times every year.

He doesn't eat during the day for Ramadan. So he doesn't have the energy for intense training. If he wants a 12 week camp, then that month of ramadan blocks out 4 calandar months.

End of Ramadan is mid june, so that means he be out to september PPV, or maybe late august.

Ramadan that year (2012) started a week or two after he fought.

Slightly interesting thing about the Floyd cartel tweet was a reply from Daniel Kinahan himself telling Mayweather not to believe everything you read in the papers

Do cartel members get a little verified tick?

Are you sure is wasn't the Cringe Awards? Richard Branson should not be getting his top off on stage, especially against someone with Conor's physique.

Jaysus I dunno, Branson looks in decent nick for a guy approaching 70 and who runs an empire! 


With regards to the photographer, it's a cool gig to get, being flown around the world and having ulimited access to one of the biggest stars in the world...but is there really a need to dedicate your entire life to McGregor? His instagram page is just a shrine to him, along with embarrasing quotes from rap songs.

It's the perfect job for an Amateur MMA fighter. Train all day, follow the biggest MMA star around all night. Immersed in the game 24/7.

I didn't say it was an 'awards show', I said he received an award... and he did... the 'Pendulum Summit lifetime achievement' award.

My mistake. Hadn't realised they gave out awards at these talks. It was the first time they've given out one. I'd imagine it was an "award" he had to be there to collect, and get a bit of buzz/publicity around the talks. Although they generally sell out and aren't cheap.
