McGregor's so fucking lame these days. I hope Alvarez survives the first two rounds so Conor gasses again and gets destroyed.

WTF Woodley...show any aggression in rounds 2, 3 and 5 and he wins outright. Wonderboy didn't even really do anything in those rounds, but Woodley's output was like none so you almost have to give those rounds to Wonderboy because he was at least going forward...kinda. Moving forward and just starring shouldnt be considered aggression, unless the other guy does nothing. If Woodley would have fought hard for at least the last minute in the 5th he probably gets that round and wins outright. I guess a draw is fitting but Woodley kinda fought like a bum, because he's the champ. At least with Wonderboy you could understand why he was hesitant because he got rocked a couple times.

Conor deserves a belt, at least made of leather, for the best entrance in the ufc. Half of it should be worn by Sinead.

The last time Conor lost, he switched entrance songs. He did that tonight. Foreshadowing? I think so!

Eddie doing his usual "block punches with my face" strategy. Bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it works out!

This shit has to be rigged.
Eddie must have gotten paid big bucks to throw this fight.

Sh!t...Conor's perfect control of the space with his length, lands 4 unanswered blows and ends it. Well, that was the imagery I had in a dream at least. Lmk when the fight begins, and Alvarez kicks his @SS to retain his belt.

McGregor talking shit about people not on his level... Diaz sitting back like "oh, you on another level now?"

Why was alvarez kept circling into mcgregor left jab? His shoots suck major ass, cut alvarez, what a jobber. Bring in Khabib.

If there's any silver lining to McGregor's win.............Khabib?
I think Dana will avoid that. If Khabib get's Conor anywhere near the ground, it's going to be a fucking mauling and McGregor will never recover. Diaz easily outwrestled him, and Khabib is fucking scary on the ground. The other way is Conor catches him with one of those left's on his way in and it's done.

Khabib's underestimated on his feet too, very hard to hit and very disciplined. He can close the space, push him to the cage...and it's over.

McGregor's only other choice if he's going to keep fighting is to go for the welterweight belt.

/edit: 3rd choice...the trilogy, but fighting a non-title fight against a low ranked contender at this point looks weak.

4th choice...defend 145...but the cut is brutal and there's little interest in him fighting "midgets" again.

Well, that was convincing. lol Too much of a reach advantage. Kinda interesting that Eddie eventually couldn't take those shots, but Diaz and Holloway could. I kinda think it was fortuitous that it was Eddie fighting and not RDA, but whatever, Eddie beat him. I guess the game plan of taking out Connor's lead leg went out the window when he got cracked! haha

It'll be interesting fight when he defends the Lightweight title. If Khabib gets his hands on him I'm sure he'll ragdoll him, but Khabib can get hit. Ferguson is tough as nails, and doesn't mind getting hit. It actually makes him more aggressive. RDA could probably take more punishment than Eddie, but that 4" reach advantage is gonna be tough to deal with. And then theres Nate, who already beat him and arguably did it twice.

Welterweights are massive compared to Conor. He's not a top contender at WW. He has a good shot at dominating LW, there's at least the RDA fight out there.

No point Conor is on a different level now since he's met Aldo. No point going back to FW he'd kill him again.

Khabib post fight backstage interview. He said he told Dana White in between every round with Michael Johnson, he wants a real fight and not some bullsh!t fight again lol. Spoiler: he'll be extremely pissed if he's not fighting for the belt next. (ignore the "Nate Diaz" click bait.)
