    The baddest man on the planet will always be the boxing heavyweight champ. Come up with some other title.

    @IntentionalButt The next UFC at the TD - two title fights. When was the last time there was a boxing card that was as good(relatively speaking) in the NE area? Been quite a while.

    Yes and in that fight you could hear Khabib telling him to give up as he was standing in his way lol.
    Khabib truly is a monster though and walks about well over 200lbs so really he should be fighting at 170lbs.
    As good as Connor is I can’t see him stopping Khabib takedowns and just here I think he’s scared em all off save Tony Ferguson

    Cybrog is going to bash her up pretty bad. Keep that plastic surgeon on the clock tonight Dana.
    Holm will be sipping soup through a straw for the New Year.

    He was busted up, but he was intelligently defending, or trying to, and under the circumstances, other opponents would have finished him well inside the distance. I'm not sure Khabib really goes for the kill when he gets these guys down. I think he takes it kinda easy to work on things. Khabib did Johnson the same way before he subbed him. It's either that, or he just doesn't hit hard.

    Probably. Rooting hard for Holly to pull another upset off though - even switched to an emotional pick in the MMA league.

    The Eagle perhaps a p4p kingpin in the coming years? 25-0 is no joke, unless you're facing cab drivers. A peremptory glance at his record suggests Nurm hasn't been, at least in the nine fights of his stint in the UFC. Even before that he already had at least one decent scalp in Shamhalaev (remember him from the Bellator days)

    Yeah I give McGregor about a 30-40% chance due to Khabib's lack of a stand up game. But he probably gets worked.

    Yeah I'd say so - despite the inactivity he's UFC resume and undefeated streak is damn solid. If he beats McGregor or Ferguson he'll have an argument.

    Last year this was Rondas return. Doubt this PPV sold well.

    Cyborg should come out to the Terminator 2 theme instead of this fruity garbage. Gotta build that killer brand.
