Heh...  No surprise there.  The more interesting part is the match will be at WW instead of LW.  If McGregor wins this, is he actually going after Masvidal?  Oooooooh yeeeaaah!  Can't wait!

If McGregor really wanted Jorge Masvidal he would have went after him after winning the BMF belt as he was very vocal when the fight was announced that he will be coming back and looking to fight against the winner and when Masvidal destroyed Nate Diaz we never heard anything from him, Conor McGregor is smart and he knows it wont be an easy fight and hence he was silent.

^  It would be dumb to go straight at Masvidal without a tune up fight (and a long lay off).  The man is obv a beast after KO'ing Till and Askren and basically humiliating Diaz...  Cerrone is that tune up fight.  We'll see how it all pans out if McGregor wins it.

It's actually dumb going after Jorge with or without a tune up fight lol. It wasn't Conor's normal weight class and he obviously doesn't have the gas tank to trade punches with Masvidal who is faster and more skilled striker (compared to Diaz) as a welterweight.

Donald is no push-over and if Conor couldn't finish him inside three rounds, he'll most likely lose.

^  Give me good odds.  I bet McGregor KO's Cerrone.  My 20 for your 60?

Bet also open to anybody active in the gambling section (must be in a reputable sig campaign) if rosezion declines.

If McGregor is smart he will win the fight against Cerrone and then he will target a rematch against Max Holloway for the 145 division belt and Max is a really different fighter now and it will not be an easy fight and then another fight he can target is JDS match which was supposed to happen but then fate changed that and then the trilogy with Nate Diaz before retiring for good and make a ton of money.

Too early for me to decide. I'll wait and see training camp video footage of both fighters.

With the run Masvidal is having he is only focused on knocking out top level fighters and not planning to earn a decision, it will be a big risk for McGregor to fight him as there is no way he is going challenge him as he is street tough and the momentum is with Masvidal and even with a few warm up matches i doubt Conor McGregor will defeat Masvidal. We are planning everything thinking that Conor is going to win against Cerrone but what happens Cerrone wins  .

@uray. Cowboy might prolong the fight to the 4th and 5th rounds and he will use the only advantage he has versus Conor. His cardio hehe.

If the fight goes to the second or third round then the possibility for McGregor reduces incredibly because he is an explosive fighter and slows down in the third and fourth round and in the rematch with Nate Diaz he somehow survived and his will to win the fight going to the decision earned him the victory and this is another do or die fight for Conor.

Lets hope this time fight will happen

But apparently Anthony Johnson had set his eyes to Alistair Overeem and Junior dos Santos but said that the fight with Francis Ngannou is very enticing for him to let it slip and a good opportunity for a comeback and this is not an everyday showdown but a something special he said on ESPN, I guess Johnson really set to have a special comeback in getting Francis Ngannou.

I am excited to see Anthony Johnson making a comeback in the heavyweight division and he is a scary dude and so does Francis Ngannou, you get scared looking at the size and a fight between them would be epic and could easily headline a card even without a title and both are strikers and the only trouble both will have is against wrestling based fighters like Stipe Miocic and Curtis Blayde .

Well, I also would like to see them faced against fighters that mostly wresting based as well, and would be great if the caliber of the technique like Khabib Nurmagomedov If what may happen but Khabib is in a Lightweight Division so I think that may not happen,
but if the fighting would be down the floor I think Stipe Miocic will be the candidate to do it.

This is the fight that I am waiting for the fight was Khabib Nurmagomedov was on and when he would be on the fight I really want to watch how Khabib can handle every fight he is on.

The fight everyone is waiting for years, glad that it did not happen earlier and now the best fighters in the division are fighting for the championship title and the stake are higher as both these fighters cleaned everyone that was put in front of them and it will be a dream fight and Tony Ferguson can create problems to the fighting style of Khabib as he is a great submission threat to anyone in the division and it will be a chess match kind of situation.

I am pretty excited as well myself Tony Ferguson Freak lung injury had pulled him out from a fight with Nurmagomedov and now that he's back and healed I am pretty sure that there is nothing that can stop this fight anymore, but apparently that long vacation should not be a thing that might interrupt from his training, but that is what I am seeing that Khabib Nurmagomedov had an advantage against Ferguson, but we might never know until the actual fight, and there fight is on next year so there is plenty time for team Ferguson to find ways in settling with the fight with Nurmagomedov.

This is the fifth time both these fighters are set to fight each other and it is the most cursed fight in MMA history , first they were scheduled to fight on December 11, 2015 but Khabib Nurmagomedov pulled out of the fight, the second fight was scheduled on April 16, 2016 but Tony Ferguson pulled out of the fight, the third fight was scheduled on March 4, 2017 but Khabib Nurmagomedov pulled out of the fight and the fourth fight was scheduled on April 7, 2018, Tony Ferguson pulled out of the fight and this is the fight time they are scheduled to fight and the sports book must come up with odds whether this fight will ever happen  .

A short view for better understanding

• December 11, 2015: Khabib Nurmagomedov pulls out due to injury
• April 16, 2016        : Tony Ferguson pulls out due to injury      
• March 4, 2017        : Khabib Nurmagomedov pulls out due to injury
• April 7, 2018          : Tony Ferguson pulls out due to injury  
• April 18, 2020        : This time who will be pulling out of the fight

Cerrone is that tune up fight.

I got the image from a MMA page (can't remember which one) few days ago and it makes sense haha.

Khabib Nurmagomedov? This time?

Well, I think the process may repeat itself, pretty much this fight is getting canceled every time one would pull out because of an injury, but I hope Khabib would not gonna pull out this time, I guess I will get disappointed regarding this because I really want to see a Nurmagomedov fight next year and because this elusive fight doesn't seem to continue, but maybe Khabib will not have any reason pulling out now in my opinion oh! I really wish.

If Khabib Nurmagomedov is not injured and if Tony Ferguson pulls out of the fight i am sure the fight will continue as long as there is another opponent taking the opportunity to fight Khabib in a short notice fight as Khabib does not care if there is a short notice replacement like the rest of the fighters and we have seen that in the past when Tony pulled out last time and he was willing to face anyone even with short time replacement.

Both Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson are healthy and they have a long time to prepare for this fight and i hope they will not get injured preparing for this fight as they are getting into this fight with high stakes as they are on a tear in the UFC and the win will cement as the best fighter.
