Christophe Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Khabib is a sloppy fucker on his feet and hasn’t met hand speed like Max’s . I like Holloway’s chances here. Only problem is, Khabib still has to make the cage and I get a funny feeling Max has been tipped off that he’s struggling to make it and he’ll be fighting someone else on Saturday, hence readily agreeing a 6 day notice title fight after coming off an injury. JJ-Rose goes to main event and Holloway-??? Slips in under that, or disappears completely, and Max comes out looking like an absolute gangster. Win-win. What a fucking win if he fights and beats him though, completely eclipses McGregor’s title achievement and sets up potentially the biggest MMA fight of all time between those two. If it does happen the LW title lineage now goes. Holloway-McGregor-Ortega (to become two weight champ once he takes Holloway’s FW too!) Would have just liked to see Ortega step up for this in the first place and cut out the middle men. Keep playing pretend boys, T-City is coming for you!

Ira Gaines Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Caused an injury to Michael Chiesa by throwing a guardrail at a moving bus that had several fighters in it. Apparently Khabib's team were in it, who themselves were involved in a spat with a mate of McGregor, so this is apparently retaliation. Since McGregor put quite a lot of people at risk with his antics, as well as several fighters on the show this weekend, it'll be interesting to see what UFC do about this. Dana White apparently said "he's done", but he's said that before. About someone a lot less valuable than Conor McGregor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieCon Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Supposedly a warrant out for his arrest and Artem is off the card [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Dana White lied about the arrest warrant ( surprise surprise ). NYPD have said they're investigating the incident and there's no warrant issued. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Couldn’t care less about the actual incident tbh. Just means we won’t see him fight for even longer now. Was hoping him v Khabib would get booked after this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 1 hour ago, Mayor Wilkins III said: Dana White lied about the arrest warrant ( surprise surprise ). NYPD have said they're investigating the incident and there's no warrant issued. Dana's a businessman though. Him just saying something like "the police are looking into it" isn't going to get the same coverage as "He's on the run" type chat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Just now, Patrick Bateman said: Chiesa got injured in the incident and his fight against Pettis could be off. Confirmed as on. Apparently the title fight with the women was in the same boat for a while. The only fight off the card will be from one of the mutants involved in the whole thing from the prelims. Hopefully the opponent will be compensated for his idiocy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaints Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Mcgregor fans on full flow on twitter claiming some sort of moral victory for defending a brother [emoji23] guy is a complete idiot. Although a rich one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If McGregor wants to be there to confront Khabib post match the UFC will absolutely facilitate that. From the “real sport” angle this is quite tragic but DW lives for the dollar sign moments like this. Clearly Khabib vs McGregor is still the ideal aim in Russia later in the year. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Would imagine UFC will have to hammer him for this as well. Can’t be allowing their fighters to be endangered two days before a fight, or their card to be fucked over with three fights cancelled two days before the event. Absolute fucking moron. I don’t think he has any intention of fighting again now, just a publicity junkie. If he does though, the sooner Khabib wrestlefucks him in to retirement the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markka Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Chiesa and Ray Borg fights are both off the card now in addition to Lobov being removed earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Aye. Commission removed them. Chiesa thought he was ready. Had no idea there was a third fight at risk. This is where the UFC will start caring. His recklessness has caused two fights to be cancelled through injury and at the very least, one of the title matches was at risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Aye. Commission removed them. Chiesa thought he was ready. Had no idea there was a third fight at risk. This is where the UFC will start caring. His recklessness has caused two fights to be cancelled through injury and at the very least, one of the title matches was at risk. Will they though? McGregor is the real draw, and Dana obviously only cares about the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
