I'm most excited about the trashtalk and seeing if Nate can eat McGregors strikes without going to sleep. Also seeing how Conor looks at WW is pretty interesting too. | ||

The WW angle is kinda silly to me since you are seeing him fight a LW at WW. If it was McGoat vs Damian Maia or some other WW then I would find that interesting. This has everything to do with short notice and nothing to do with size. Mcgregor would be a small WW, but not unheard of in terms of size. | ||

Dana announced on ESPN SportsCenter that Edgar and Aldo turned down this fight. It'll be hard for them to whine about Conor getting special treatment when they turn down a shot at him. Its kinda BS that Dana is pressuring Aldo this soon after getting knocked out cold. As an example to back my point.. whatever happened to Lyoto Machida.. he took too many fights to close to a recent KO and is not the same guy any more. Or as McG says.. once the chin goes.. its gone forever. | ||

He started in featherweight and kept moving up... realized the big WW's had too much strength and went back down to lightweight. | ||

Dana was very specific about mentioning Edgar and Aldo turning down the fight. Dana knows he is on SportsCenter and knows the profile he has on US National Cable TV. He doesn't just randomly mumble bullshit... he says stuff for a reason. Dana will now use UFC196 against them in subsequent negotiations...bank on it. The next time a reporter asks him when Edgar will get his title shot ... you can count on Dana saying... "well he had a shot at McG at UFC 196 and turned it down". | ||

They really need a mute function I so wish you were banned from this thread too. The NHL one got soooo much better after you were canned. pretty funny how you spaz out over a question. no content post into standard ad hominem attack... have fun arguing with yourself. the NHL ? where the goalies stand motionless and cover 95% of the net and 3 even strength goals a game are scored? ZZzzzz... i've watched about 10 minutes of the NHL this year. apparently CM Punk is combining NHL and UFC training. https://www.nhl.com/news/cm-punk-mixes-love-for-hockey-with-ufc-training/c-799026 we'll see how far this 1337 NHL training takes him in the octogon. personally , i think its time to pull the plug on the CM Punk thing. the guy is gonna be 40 by the time he makes his UFC debut. John Kavanagh is conitinuing the narrative that Aldo and Edgar are ducking McG with the quote from both fighters that they'd take on McG any time any where. http://www.the42.ie/john-kavanagh-column-24-february-2016-2621429-Feb2016/?utm_source=twitter_self "I did find it somewhat interesting, however, that Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar both turned it down. I seem to recall them insisting quite recently that they were willing to fight Conor `any time and any place`. Obviously they forgot to mention that 5 March in Las Vegas was an exception." | ||

Ronda says she is "still undefeated". Holly is asked for a response. She looks like the cat that swallowed the canary as she holds back a giant smile in an attempt to be diplomatic. | ||
