I think chances are quite good it'll go the distance. If McGregor loses by a landslide but his face doesn't look battered, he will definitely call Floyd a pussy who ran the entire fight; and demand a rematch that he won't receive.

Mayweather hasn't stopped anyone since 2007 (Ricky Hatton) or 2011 (Victor Ortiz) if you're being generous. We don't think McGregor has the gas tank to go 12 full rounds, but I see no evidence based on Mayweather's defensive boxing history that leads me to believe he'll win by knockout.

From the grave, Miss Cleo has given us this amazing vision of the future:

Well I read it on this blog about watching the big fight live. Anyways, it says that the match will be available on 1TV.Ru for free. Can anyone confirm?

Jon Jones tested positive for anabolic steroid Turinabol on day of Ufc 214 weigh in.

I think any time someone gets labeled in the Ufc as an 'athletic freak' or 'beast' again, they should automatically suspended for 2 years for doping, no pee test needed. Over and over again these guys ultimately get popped for doping.

so Jones got stripped of his belt, AGAIN?

now I can hear the trash talk from Comier...

He still has the belt...for now. UFC is holding out all hope that an appeal will have traction and the penalty will be minimal, so they won't have to. But they will.

I wouldn't look for Cormier to trash Jones like he had before. But should Jones fight again, they are destined for a 3rd match, regardless. It's the best rivalry in the UFC and would be highly profitable.

If Jones gets suspended for a large amount of time, the UFC is fucked. McGregor is their only star so he is getting paid.

And Conor isn't going to last much longer either, especially once he gets the Diaz trilogy money fight out of the way...

what excuse does Jones have this time for a banned substance?
and why would they expect the penalty be minimal, especially since he's a repeat offender?

why in the world would Connor want to fight in the UFC ever again?
they pay peanuts compared to his boxing paycheck.

if anything, I'd think Connor would fight his former boxing sparing partner who bad mouthed him.
boxing= less punishment on the body than ufc and bigger paycheck.
win/win. and I bet he also announces that fight will be the last of his career, to amp up the hype.

You think many people would pay to see Conor box again?...meh, even against 'rival' Paulie Malignaggi. McGregor's mouth and confidence make people interested against Mayweather, but it was still Mayweather, the all-time great and PPV king.

There is no "excuse" so along as the B sample is positive. He'll likely get 4 years from usada and 2 from cali commision, so his best hope is a release from dana white after 2 to go to another promotion.

Connor will fight in the UFC so long as it pays reasonably, millions of dollars is still millions of dollars. There's only so many boxing matches he can do since he's not going to beat the top rank boxers.

He literally sold more ppvs than Pacquiao and made a better fight out of it. Not hard to see the money once you get off Mayweather.

Mighty mouse Borg ME is out tomorrow, its Nunes and Shevchenko.

omfg... what the F was Jon thinking?!?!?!
sooooooo much potential....

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Cormier has been given back the belt and is now the champ again.

 

[lamedude]

Throw that belt in the trash. The people saw DC as a paper champ last time and I doubt getting KO'd by Jones is going to change that. Throw the lightweight title in their too. An interim title match that doesn't include the #1 contender when the champ good to go.

 

[JEDI]

Cant wait for Jones explanation this time

 

[NutBucket]

DC spiked my food!

 

[lamedude]

Doubling down on I didn't do it.

Interesting times ahead if CTE tests on the living become a thing. UFC better get that $250m TV deal because they might need the $ to grease the comissions.
In other news Rizin will have a Frank Shamrock vs. Kazushi Sakuraba grappling match on 10/15.
