controversy on the Woodley scorecard win.. Bruce Buffer says final decision is a draw. Woodley retain his UFC Lightweight Title title.

 

I need to correct you. Woodley retains his UFC Welterweight Title.

 

 

 

Conor Mcgregor is the guy who won The UFC Lightweight Title. He is the first fighter in UFC History to hold belts simultaneously in different weight Divisions. Even BJ Penn and Randy Couture didn't hold two belts at the same time although they were champions in 2 different weight divisions.

Now that Mcgregor has two belts in different divisions at the same time, it is safe to assume that he is the current pound-for-pound best fighter in the world.

 

 

I would like to agree with you but Jon Jones is still number 1 P4P in my opinion but he has to fight before April next year and win against top level competition to retain that ranking. He is waist deep in a hole he dug by himself, hope he crawls out of that and get his s@%t together. Demetrious Johnson could also contend for being top P4P fighter since he has defended his belt 9 times and nobody in his division is slowing him down. One more high profile win for Conor and he should be in conversation for top P4P. He should be top 10 or even top 5 after this weekend's performance. He just beat 3 top level guys in his last 4 fights.

Mcgregor!

[startoffbeat]

Jones for you. Mcgregor for me. Hehe. Anyway, a Mcgregor-Khabib fight will be more sellable than a Mcgregor-Aldo rematch. Khabib is pure power while Mcgregor epitomizes speed and accuracy. In this fight, make mine Mcgregor. The two-division champ is way too fast and wily for Khabib but if the latter takes the former down, Conor is in for a short night. Khabib will probably win by ground and pound if that happens.

 

That's is what is nice about P4P ranking, it is subjective and there is no known authority on it. Daniel Cormier could also be top P4P since his last loss was none other that to Jones. Then we have Dominick Cruz, who after a long layoff, came back and got his belt he never lost in such a way that he did not look like he was never away.

 

I honestly don't care who they put in front of Mcgregor (or Jones, for that matter). They are difficult riddles to solve. Khabib may need another good win to earn a title shot since he has been out for so long. Unless he makes enough noise like Chael Sonnen to make it a money fight. If the UFC wants revenue, then book Woodley-Mcgregor for Superbowl weekend. I would not mind not paying for that match. PPV is free here in the Philippines anyway.

Nurmagomedov and Mcgregor had a confrontation in the backstage during UFC 205. It's gonna be power vs. speed and accuracy. In this fight, all Mcgregor has to worry about is the take down. If he does not get taken down, he's gonna win via decision or KO.

 

Nurmagomedov won over one champion via unanimous decision. Mcgregor won over two champions in spectacular fashion.

 

That is one step to building that fight. I'd be watching that fight anyway if it happens. Both guys put on a good show. Question is when will it happen.

 

Like I said, I don't care who they put in front of Connie Mac. He can drop down to 145 with Aldo to unify the belt. He can step in and defend the 155 belt against Khabib or Ferguson. Place him in a cage with a godzilla or the abominable snowman or Nate Diaz. Make him fight Woodley to earn another belt. Conor is hot property right now and any card with him will sell.

I agree with you sir.

 

I think that Conor is still at his peak and will definitely continue to churn spectacular fights.

I dont know but i really like Rumble Johnson. He is like the prime mike tyson of the UFC. His raw punching power amaze me.Conor Mcgregor is a precise puncher and underrated counter puncher but Aldo needs a rematch, i think so.

[startoffbeat]

Mcgregor relinquishes the FTW belt.

Jose Aldo has been made the Undisputed FTW champion.

Daniel Cormier has a torn ligament in the groin and pulls out of UFC206. Best wishes to him. Hope he gets well. Wonder wear that lands Rumble.

Max Holloway vs Anthony Pettis is now the new main event for the UFC FTW Interim Championship with a scheduled Unification with Aldo some time next year.

 

So any matches for CMG against either Edgar or Aldo will be a farcry from happening. Good luck to him at 155 which is a whole diferent beast to deal with. He has the tools to surpass the legacy of Penn, St. Pierre or even Anderson Silva.

Hello

[Basket Case]

Brandon Vera has successfully defended the One HW Championship defeating the Japanese Challenger by Referee Stoppage due to Punches.

[Solaryan]

I wish Brandon Vera brings that same energy and tenacity to the UFC.

 

He started off with great fights early on. It's just that somehow, he lost his mojo.. I hope he found it and brings it in the UFC. Since that is where almost all of the best fighters are. It's a good way to show that you stand atop the best fighters in the world.
