    Expect him to get starched, early. All these MMA clowns have glass jaws. Real boxers will destroy them, every time.

    Yeah, McGregor's packing china for sure. Even one of those MMA guys starched him. If he laces 'em in a real fight against somebody who knows how to box, he gets destroyed, early.

    He doesn't have a glass jaw. I do not think that he can maintain boxing skills throughout a fight. He may be capable of knocking someone out.

    Is there anything this guy will not do or say for attention? That is what drives him, not the daily grind of improving your craft as an athlete but the attention. He is very shallow, empty person.

    Well that is what TV is about now days. Who can be the biggest clown, who can expose themselves or leak nude pictures of themselves if they are females. Release sex tapes, get pregnant at a young age , start twitter beefs yet people still pay attention to them. If they were ignored they would either stop or go away.

    I still don't believe he will be able to get out of his UFC contract or find a way around it to box as a pro.

    UFC has draconian contracts and top lawyers. They prevented their fighters from participating in other combat sports in the past, they could sue the living **** out of Conor unless he can really find some brilliant loophole.

    I think Conor will eventually come back to the UFC for few final marquee fights, they need him now after Rousey got retired, they're probably offer him a bit more and give him some money fight.

    Ya, they might need to pull Nate out of the hat again. Keep the hype rollin. Nate would be game for a nice cut Im sure. Would love to see McGregor boxing but just cant see it happening this year. Nate 3 makes money sense and has interest to settle the score. If Bones Jones can get his act together he can help the show. Bout 5 or 6 more hot names after that but UFC is thin as a veil. Rogan and White are true showmen to sell this to the tards in America. Just started paying attention when Rhonda was hot and Joanna J came on the scene. They should get Cyborg some attention. She has paid her dues.

    Cyborg was just busted for PEDs.

    UFC will have Holly and the Dutch girl Germaine De Randamie fight for the new 145 belt and who the **** knows when Cyborg will be back. I think had Ronda won that fight he would have fought the winner of the 145 (UFC probably hoped that would be Holly to cash in on the rematch) title fight to become a dual champion.

    I don't think UFC will ever heavily promote Cyborg, I think they will eventually sideline the women divisions completely, they just don't have any marketable dominant champs and with the exception of 115 the belts are switching hands. All the marketable girls lost and are on the way out, now they just have a bunch of overly muscular manly looking girls who don't have the men's technique and skills.

    I can see them move this circus to Invicta in the next five-ten years.

    They are going to have to recruit more Joanna J's and Slavic chicks.
