Till calling out McGregor. I like Till, I'm a big fan, travelled to watch him - but a guy who recently said he's 70% moving to 185 calling out a 155er isn't really a good look for him.

Dont worry wont last Ben askren will break darren up.

JJayoo

They really fcuked up with till. They should have had a slow build, him winning and getting camera time over 2 years before really cracking into the top 5. McG was a great example of a slow build allowing McG to build a fan base through his personality and performances.

What does till do now? No possibility of 'easy' fights. I think Perry will beat cowboy and then Till Vs Perry.

As said above keep him away from Askren.

dulux99

Surely they'll keep him and as far away from Askren as possible. If they do that fight then it just proves what everyone already knows, Askren can dominate a somewhat one dimensional stand up fighter.

You're right JJayoo about a slow buildup. Apart from the Siver fight they did a brilliant job of testing him more and more every time and he became a superstar without winning the title.

JJayoo

Perry will beat cowboy and Woodley will beat Coby, so they would be two good matchups for till which would allow plenty of camera time for till and plenty of back and forth.

Thou Coby is good.

What will happen with him because he has said he will not fight Woodley.

He probably would, but he's hid coach and has categorically said he won't fight him.

165 will be introduced before Funky Vs T-Wood becomes reality.

He said at this time. He will need to fight him if he wants to become WW champ. He said they wont fight as theyre friends. Tito and Chuck were friends also.

Tito and Chuck were not friends from the age of 17 through a national highschool tournament, university program, and Olympics cycle.

Askren and Woodley are friends since they were in highschool. It's different.

They won't fight.

But with the 125 division closing 165 is far mor likely.

Woodley will move up sooner or later.

So he will allow a legacy be gone cause hes friends. I personally wouldnt if I was at top if my game id want that belt.

No they weren't.

Tito said they were friends, and played it up in order to duck Chuck.
Chuck said "we're not friends, I want that belt"

He has paths to a belt that don't go through Woodley.
They'll book Woodley v Colby, and Askren v Till/RDA
If Cobly wins, the Askren fight sells itself.

If Woodley wins, then there is the option to split WW into 165/175. Askren goes after the 165 title.

Exactly this, they will never be forced to face each other as the UFC will introduce 165 and Askren will be given a title fight right of the bat for that while Woodley stays where he is.

Subcomandante Marcos

funky retired. If the UFC try make him fight Tyron he will stay retired. It's that simple.

But you're not in their position, and you haven't been team mates for the entirity of your adult life, so you really can't pretend you would do anything if you were in their shoes, because you never will be.

Still cannot believe that Conor could not look Khabib in the eyes right before the fight in the centre of the octagon.

All that horrible trash talk and he couldn't even look him in the eyes.

I find that cowardly and it set the tone for the fight.

After rewatching if there is a second fight Khabib will just toy with him again.

I dont believe conor would step into the octagon as unprepared again. I believe he will not emphasise the take down defence and he will focus on putting him away and fine tuning his hands again.

Enough with the stupid posts like this, it adds nothing to the conversation.

Got them Shane Carwin hands.

That looks like a combination of big hands and a medical condition tbh.
