Nice, I am super happy they gave it to Thompson.

I wonder if we get a "big money" fight added at some point.

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Woodley vs Wonderboy isn't what I expected to headline, I'm curious if it does headline.

I wonder if Thompson has a big following in New York due to his relationship with Weidman and company.

Weidman vs Romero is rumored for this card right?

Yep. Dana is still trying to get Conor v Eddie as the headliner.

me too. Wonder Boy should be a nightmare for T-Wood unless he decides too wrestle or clinch him all fight. I don't know who would win this...

Conor vs Eddie would be an interesting Title Fight. Sign me up for that main event.

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Iaquinta is out, doesn't get paid enough to leave his job if he loses. Dude doesn't get paid much.

Jim Miller is stepping in against Alves

Dana tweeted today that Eddie isn't fighting C-Mac and he will fight Khabib. Not official, just Dana being fat on Twitter.

Hope Eddie wins because I don't think anyone wants to see Conor fight Khabib. Khabib is reckless with striking though.

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Yeah I dunno, I know its all posturing right now. I had a feeling from the beginning Conor was gonna take this one off, and honestly I don't really blame him. He's been hit a lot his last two fights. That being said we all know how these things go, would not be shocked to log in an hour from now and see McGregor-Alvarez official

I listened to the Iaquinta interview. Definitely interesting

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Alvarez vs Khabib might be at UFC 206, Alvarez missed contact deadline for UFC 205, allegedly.

I don't know how that possible considering DC vs Silva was like two days noticed.



Woodley vs Wonderboy not official at this point

Re: UFC 205 - New York

Wow....really? What is contact deadling? Is that a UFC imposed thing to try and nudge things their way?

No idea, they talked about it on ufc tonight

Its Dana being Dana. His heavy handedness isnt working anymore. I'm assuming that Eddie wanted a significant raise for the Conor fight and Dana isnt budging. So he's using UFC tonight to try to force Eddie's hand.

Its starting to get to the point where Dana is preventing the UFC from making big fights. He's clearly the reason why GSP isnt back yet and his issues with Conor are creeping back up again.
