    I doubt mcgregor comes back to ufc unless he gets a piece of the company.

    I hope he comes back! Too many good fights with him to be made. And he’s still young.

    to much money left on the table in boxing to comeback yet. Mcgregor is no dummy.

    Ferguson is an easy scalp.... Clears a good amount over a KO1-2 and then completes a trilogy with Diaz. Won't get Mayweather money, but he can ride the success of that and still earn good money from these fights.

    Ugh! That would be disappointing if Conor actually stays on the boxing side. He’s a way better MMA fighter.

    People saying Conor will get Tony out of there in rd 1 are wrong imo. In 2 fights and 7 rds he couldn't get Nate Diaz out of there so what makes them think he's going to tko Tony who is a better version of Diaz everywhere imo. He would have to make Tony unconscious to get the win. I think Tony has his way with him after a few shaky moments early.

    chin and weight is the big diff between diaz and fergusson. Mcgregor fought diaz at 170 both fights and prob weighed 165-168 fight night and diaz was a clear 190-195. If mcgregor fought diaz at 155 the fight is a 1 round fight. Mcgregors best weight is prob 155-160. He will take tony out. Easy at that.

    tony is lucky khabib missed weight. Tony has no power to hurt khabib on the feet and khabib would take him down at will. Id much rather see khabib vs mcgregor but we arent getting either.

    Too many people to quote and too many topics to cover so i will consolodate them.

    Why would UFC give McGregor a percentage of the company? That's lunacy unless they know it's going under.

    I think Ferguson will beat McGregor his boxing is not as tight as Diaz' but he's stronger and plays a strong sub game, can hit them all from any position.

    Anyone know what is going on with Khabib? He should just go to WW already.

    Does Khabib actually want a big fight?

    The guy fights as much as Cain Velasquez. Stick a fork in him.

    Hes not beating mcgregor at 155. Better chance at 170. Fergusson is as much of a punching bag as diaz with less offense. Did you see how many times Lee hit fergusson clean? Guy woulda been koed by mcgregor. No word on khabib but ferg is lucky that fight fell through. Khabib would take him down at will. Ferg isnt subbing khabib either. Just my opinion.

    I get where you are coming from just always liked Feguson's toughness and his strong submission game. He seemed like a jerk and a drunk on that TUF show though.

    I just like strong fighters with tight submission games and I may be biased but I think they are kryptonite for pure strikers.

    You should go to Dagestan and ask him. Just knock on his door at any time, he won't mind!
