Yeah, people get bent up very easiily over nothing

If you like Conor, you're plastic. Guy I was talking to couldn't understand why I'd backed Eddie, if I liked Conor so much.

Superb performance, and never been so happy to do  my money.

The guy you were talking to has a point

This is some good analysis, Adam.

He sure does.

He's an absolute boss. So hope he fights in Ireland again soon so can experience it live, such a Legend.

Inspired by the £100 - £5k challenge, anyone fancy a similar MMA spin up?

No money for me, but great card. and great result for McGregor.
clearly current P4P king and well on his way to being the GOAT.
I reckon he should fight Frankie at 145 while Nurmagomedov and Ferguson fight an eliminator for the 155 shot.
beat both, then why not the winner of the Woodley vs Thompson rematch.

Am I missing something?  Why would he fight Frankie and not Aldo if he defends the 145 belt?

Feel like he should defend V aldo next and then defend V Kabib afterwards.  Kabib the nut worst stylistic matchup for him, and Ferguson will probably step in when Kabib inevitably gets injured anyway, but Im officially never doubting McGregor again against anyone.  Thought it was crazy that Alvarez wasnt a betting fave despite not being particularly impressed with him, never imagined Conor would just handle him so easily.

I think 2 of Frankie, Holloway and Pettis should fight for either the shot at the winner of McGregor V aldo if he defends or just for a shot at Aldo if Mcgregor vacates.  Nate Diaz V Ferguson for the shot at the winner of Kabib V McGregor

[Marky147]

Think Holloway should get winner of Aldo/McGregor, and let Frankie fight Pettis for winner of the Holloway v ?

Khabib is worst matchup for anyone, once he gets them on the deck, but after seeing what Johnson did to him in the first few minutes Saturday, I'm not sure he'd be awake long enough to take him down.

Like yourself, I couldn't work out how Eddie could be 6/4, so had to back him. However, I wasn't disappointed to do my money, as it was spectacular.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Dana do Ferguson v McGregor, after Khabib's outbursts to Rogan, and again that evening.

The reasons I'm saying Frankie over Aldo is Aldo has talked about walking away from the sport entirely, he's a serial no-show, and the final nail in the coffin is the fast knock out first time round. Frankie has earned the big fight IMO, and I think it's also the bigger seller if it's in Brooklyn. That said, when I wrote that the other day, I'd forgotten there's an Interim Belt in play (nonsense things that they are) so it probably has to be Aldo. Stay fit though Frankie.
After that at 145, definitely the winner of Holloway/Pettis (my money is on the former).

We all agree on Nurmagomedov being a bad night for anyone, but Johnson was lighting him up in the first round, and I think Conor might shock him if he's allowed to connect like that. I think Ferguson might beat him too though. I think Ferguson has done enough to be in front of Nurmagomedov in the absence of an eliminator.

Exciting times at both weights

[Marky147]

Sorry bud, I was locked onto it, and didn't check in here.

No good now, but for future ref, cricfree.sx is usually pretty good, once you close all the popups.
