Cowboy just doesn't have it in the big fights.

RDA vs Conor may be interesting because the body kick won't be there for RDA.

Nate Diaz is back but I think Rogan went a little overboard with his praise as well. But whatever. I love watching the Diaz brothers fight. Glad Nate's back with a strong win.

Great performance by RDA. A quick finish so he should be good to go. Although I feel bad for Frankie, I want to see something historic and Conor having a chance at holding two championships in the UFC at the same time is one of those historic moments. I think Conor-RDA should be the UFC 200 headliner. Right now I think the fight with Conor is up to whoever steps up their promotion game. RDA seems ready for that challenge. Frankie is just a bit too nice...

I see people on social media commentating on all the Conor callouts tonight. All I can say is get used to it. Same reason everyone at 155 and 185 talked about going up/down to fight GSP. Back then if you were fighting GSP, just like now if you are fighting Conor, it means you are headlining a PPV and getting a 7 figure payday. All about the money

Maybe I'm batpoop crazy but I am sold on a Diaz/Conor fight?

A.) that ppv will sell

B.) a win establishes Conor as credible cross weight 145/155er. In the meantime you can do RDA/Ferguson/Pettis(if he wins) probably in hopes that Ferguson or Pettis win which sets up dream/fan friendly matchups with Conor after UFC 200

C.) why risk Conor getting smashed or winning a brutal brawl against RDA before a chance to fight Frankie at UFC 200?

Diaz isn't relevant, his performance was OK. Watch it on mute, he was getting tagged. Conor tags him and the fight is over. The only thing that fight does is give money to Diaz.

Conor's PPV will sell no matter the opponent. It will be RDA then Frankie. The question is when/where unless the UFC says no.

I completely agree. The only part I disagree on is that I think Edgar will be first. The April PPV is in NY and I think they will want Frankie for the NY/NJ connection.

Didn't realize this was on until late in the Diaz fight (last minute).

The Dos Santos-Overeem fight was very entertaining.
I was rooting for Junior, but man did Alistair do a great job of striking.
(I also found it hilarious how much Overeem's body has transformed now that he's off the juice).
