Re: UFC 200

I thought Jones was great at the press conference today. His answer to the question about his performance against OSP where he also talked about his personal life a bit was perfect.

Re: UFC 200

I agree 100%. What really surprising to me is some of my favorite well known analysts didn't understand the rematch and complained about it, and when fight got cancelled they acted upset like the fight if the century was cancelled.

I mean i thought it was a fantastic fight, Conor looked good in round one, about 2 minutes into round two Nate did his thing and it was amazing to watch. I steal don't want to see it again.

At this point the only way want to see a rematch is if it was at 155, and I'm kind of indifferent about it. Even though I don't like McGregor there is some crazy fun fights for the fans in the LW division.

Pettis
Barboza
Cerrone
Ferguson
Johnson
LW Poirier rematch
Duffy
Iaquinta

I didn't put Khabib and others because I only wanted to let potential competitive entertaining fights.

I don't care to see Conor at FW anymore either, even though lots of people want Edgar vs Conor, he just looks terrible at the weigh ins. I wouldn't mind a rematch with Holloway, that rematch at LW could be epic even though Max is FW

I'm pretty much on the same page as you on all of this... well except that I really wanted to see Conor vs Frankie other than that I agree with everything you posted.

Honestly though don't think Conor can or at least doesn't want to cut to 145 anymore. In my opinion, he's not really big or strong enough to contend for the belt at LW much less WW. Guys like RDA and Khabib would destroy both Conor and Nate. The other fights you mention would be fun fights, but he's not going to beat one those two (RDA and Khabib).

So the question is no matter what happens with UFC 200 will Conor ever truly own Dana and the UFC like p_rushing said... my answer is if he wins his rematch against Nate, then continues to win he could get even bigger than he is now. However, if he loses to Nate, moves down (which I assume he will do) and loses again, then the Conor train is really going to be derailed. The thing about guys like Anderson Silva and GSP is neither could sell fights outside of the octagon like Conor can, but inside of the octagon they made us all pay attention.. If Conor doesn't back up his talk over his next few fights, then he's going to lose all of his leverage with the UFC. I think he'll always have a large following due to how while he can talk, but it's going to be really interesting to see what happens to him if he loses 2 or 3 fights in a row.

Re: UFC 200

I wonder if Jones had his x-ray yet

I would hope so. He was moving around, so I think it will probably be fine to fight then. DC though who knows and with how hard he trains, he could get hurt again.

Agree that if he doesn't win, he really hurts himself. Talking only matters if you can back it up in the cage, otherwise people just ignore it.

Re: UFC 200

Just watching the ufc on GMA I dvr'd, brings a smile to my face seeing Edgar and all those dudes on a big show with a lot of people watching because of the Strahan deal

Re: UFC 200

This card is pretty stacked. Every fight on here is gonna be a blast.

I was cool with Conor - Nate, but I'm cool without it too.

I'm particularly interested in Mousasi - Brunson. I think Moose is gonna dominate that fight. He looks like he means business lately. I love how technical that guy is.

Re: UFC 200

Lol at that gif

Re: UFC 200

Lol DC. " I bet I can take jon jones a 100 times down".

Now he says.

“Last time, I didn’t take Jon down as many times as I wanted to. This time, you’re going to see a fight where I go right over there and take him down.”

“You guys may boo, but I’m going to hold his *** down for 25 minutes. I’m going to take him down and hold him down for 25 minutes,”

Re: UFC 200

DC was born and raised right here in my home town of Lafayette Louisiana. So while not the only reason I've pulled for DC, but also because I like him a hell of a lot more than Jon "Coke Nose" Bones

Re: UFC 200

I don't have a problem with Cormier, but he's playing himself in the buildup to this fight. He's playing a game with the fans and the media, people who are always gonna love Bones because he's arguably the GOAT. Just go out there and beat him and stop complaining about people booing you and Bones' life choices.
