[UFC 219: Cyborg vs Holm. NEW EVENT!] The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

@babygun. No the boxing match was definitely not staged. You are also wrong with Floyd knocking out Conor in the earlier rounds if he wanted to because Floyd is not known to do that. He is a tactical fighter who adjusts to his opponents' weaknesses.

With Conor, Floyd knew that he will get tired in the later rounds.

You could be right, but I just got that impression. I am still convinced that the match could have ended quicker, but maybe Mayweather prolonged the fight to entertain the fans, like Baofeng says.

@babygun. It was Floyd's strategy to let Conor gas out and expend all his energy in the earlier rounds. Everyone is aware that it is also Conor's weakness in the UFC. Watch Conor's fights versus Nate Diaz and you will see what I mean. Floyd used Conor's weakness against him.

Here's a nice post fight study video featuring Khabib Nurmagomedov.  It looks like McGregor is gonna have his hands full vs him.  If it's Khabib vs Ferguson tho, I think it's gonna be a coin flip.

Enjoy!

To be honest I haven't watched many of Conor his matches (only his knockouts lol). Probably you are right in everything. Maybe I watched to many WWE matches to think that the boxing match was also staged  .

We understand where you coming from mate, but please stay away watching WWE. That's for kids, not for hard core fans.

Very interesting post analysis. I think Khabib built his own style though and wasn't aware of the methods used by the 3 grappling greats mentioned in the video. Scary though is Khabib keeps evolving, interested to see Khabib vs Ferguson, yeah, its gonna be hard to see who is going to win that one.

Yeah I know, but sometimes it is fun to watch  . My dad who is 60 years old, has been watching WWE since the beginning and is still a big fan.

Do you have any idea what you are talking about ,this is not a thread about acting or professional wrestling and MMA is about legit mixed martial arts and here you are talking about WWE  ,make sure you reply to threads you know about or at least spend time in searching about it in google before you input your views.

Big news coming from Khabib. He gave a clue on Instagram that he will be announcing his next fight, maybe  by the end of the month!

I speculate that it will be versus Tony Ferguson. I also read that Dana White again has a sudden interest in it. But where is Conor? Is UFC money now too cheap for him?

Conor has a history of not defending any of his belts,if you look back his championship history he never defended any of his belts he won in Cage Warriors as well as in the UFC and i see Connor being stripped off his title and Khabib and Tony will be fighting for the real belt and he will be coming back to fight Nate Diaz as that is the money fight for him and then he will figure out something else.

[bbc.reporter]

@SaShiRaJaVu. Conor versus Nate Diaz 3 will only be as compelling to watch if Conor is a champion. I reckon that it might be better for him to be stripped off his belt, then come back and challenge the winner of Tony Ferguson versus Khabib. If he wins that, then his next fight should be versus Nate. That would be the best set up for me.

He's probably enjoying too much of his money now. LOL.

I'm sure that Khabib vs Tony is being on the works by Dana. That's what the fans is all been waiting for. Its long overdue.
And then Conor vs Nate 3. Low risk but good returns for Conor. We all know that both of them have big mouths. They can really sell the fight and close the book with that trilogy.

[bbc.reporter]

@btc_angela. Fighting Nate Diaz is high reward but also high risk for Conor. If you watch their 2 fights again, you would see that Conor was not dominating them. There was also the likelihood that he would have also lost the 2nd fight. Watch it.

Also, if Conor plans to fight the winner of Tony vs Khabib then he should wait and not fight Nate.
