Did Cerrone blow his nose on purpose ? Probably... but if that's the case, it's a shame because he still had a chance, he could have gotten a lucky shot and won in the last round. Ferguson was the better fighter though.
I didn't really enjoy the fight anyway. Those guys are not kickboxers god damnit ! One miserable attempt at a takedown, only one ! Not my kind of fight.

Same for Cejudo, he is a wrestler, not a boxer. Nothing to say about his win, he deserved it.

This match was the 'Fight of the Night' and they both earned a extra $50,000 in bonuses so it must have been a alright one

I am glad it was stopped when it was or else we would have seen a terrible beating done on Cowboy

Hard to say if Cerrone did intentionally blow his nose though. Maybe he can't breath when we was hit in the nose and subconsciously blow it.

It was a good fight though, I think Cerrone did good in the first round, but Tony was such a bad ass and he keeps on coming and his work rate is insane.

though they have been advised not to do that, the urge to blow is just irresistible when you are in that situation. probably unintentional but consequences are still there. the people who pay wants a knockout but donald blew it away.    finishing up all 5 rounds would have been satisfying. i think he'd rest for now before given another chance considering what he'd done.

For me this is a very pleasant battle with only 5 rounds with painful blows to blow up the nose, I think it might be in the form of revenge to secure the match situation, whether intentionally or not it's his business, all that is done is always the consequences but don't too thought about because this is a very strong match.

Is Dana creating a new storyboard for one of the biggest fights in the UFC's history after Conor vs Khabib? I reckon yes he might be hehehe.

The UFC also denies it, however, my skeptical mind says that Conor's bus attack was staged for the creation of the biggest pay per view in MMA's history.



Nick Diaz is not amused by Conor McGregor’s recent callouts.

McGregor has been widely regarded as the biggest star in mixed martial arts. He went from being Ireland’s most promising prospect, to a two-division Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) title holder and a mainstream figure. McGregor has been on a quest to get ownership stake in the UFC and has even joked about tussling with actor Mark Wahlberg for shares. Diaz isn’t laughing.

Diaz took to Instagram Stories to rip McGregor (via Bloody Elbow):

“Why would you wanna fight someone who can’t fight? What a peace (sic) of sh*t !! Same as beating someone with handcuffs on.”

The timing of Nick’s rant on McGregor is interesting as it comes just a couple of weeks after Michael Bisping’s suggestion. “The Count” said that he likes the idea of McGregor calling out Nick when his co-host on the “Believe You Me” podcast Luis Gomez brought it up.

^^ Probably Dana is building the hype again, Lol.

McGregor has been out for quite some time now and he needed some grand entrance before fighting back. And it make sense that Nick Diaz will be his comeback fight.

I mean Nick doesn't back down to any challenges and he has a big mouth two, so there will be trash talking in the social media that will bring a lot of money in the table.

[electronicash]

Dana's new story is not gonna work. He already did the biggest story with Mayweather vs Mcgregor and that's it. Now that Mcgregor losses the fight with Kabib, he has to give a chance to Jose Aldo as their last fight ended too quick. I wanna at least see one full round or two.

Nick Diaz is no match to Mcgregor, the weakness of Diaz will be exploited more now that they see the fight he had with GSP.  Dana can't just match the two, the outcome is foreseeable and so will be a tragic end for Diaz's career. Look how terrible he performed in his last 3 fights.

Not sure you have any idea what you are talking about, Donald Cerrone is a kickboxer and have a background in Muay Thai and if you have seen any of his fights in the past his kicks are exceptional and he is undefeated in kickboxing with 28 wins, Cerrone made a mistake blowing his nose and he is a fight veteran and he wanted to fight but doctors made the right decision.

Nick Diaz has not fought in a very long time but that does not mean that McGregor will have an easy fight if that materialize as the Diaz brothers have insane cardio and that is the one thing that McGregor lacks and it will be a huge money fight and UFC will hype the fight as the return of Nick Diaz and they have a fairly huge fan base.

A fight between Diaz and Mcgregor might be a good idea to keep both fighters in the MMA scene since both fighters has been out for quite some time however it is Conor Mcgregor who last stepped inside the octagon October 2018 at UFC 229. Nick Diaz last fought February 2015 against Anderson Silva at UFC 183. Both fight suffered losses on their last fight.

i wonder what hes been doing in 3 years of absence. had he been crying for years after the last fight?  i don't think he's been training himself that long, if not then there might not be a chance for him to win. if Dana is up to it then he's betting for Conor as he is building Conor up again for bigger fight.

I read your post and so is the reason i commented, you were talking about Donald Cerrone and Tony Ferguson here and you said they are not kickboxers, what i pointed out is that Donald Cerrone had a professional kickboxing record of 28 wins in his career and that too undefeated in kickboxing career and Tony Ferguson have a back ground in kickboxing as well as wrestling and BJJ, not sure what point you are referring here   if you say that you were sarcastic then i would understand your point, but your words do not clarify anything. You are commenting here for a MMA fight and you are arguing that it was not interesting as they did not fight according to their strength as Cerrone Vs Tony was a stand up fight as they are well versed in stand up and what is your point here.

Oh god... my point was I wanted to watch an MMA fight, not a kickboxing one. I prefer a fight when the guys don't stand up the whole time.
Clearer now ?

Did something happen to Nate? This Nick and Conor does not make sense to me. Why not have rubber match between Nate and Conor? That is much more interesting to me.

[eaLiTy]

Lets analyze what is a mixed martial arts fight, if you watched any of their prior fights both fighters prefer stand up fights unless the opposition takes the fight to the ground and both are well versed in ground game too and if someone takes them to the ground they will finish the fight in the ground and that is their fight game, every fighter goes to their strength and if they prefer to stand and bang and never wanted to take the fight to the ground you think it is not a good fight plan  . You might have your idea of a perfect fight and so does millions of people who watch the fights and these are people who have opinions but never had a real professional fight, these fighters are world class martial artist and they know what they are doing and the best fighter with fight IQ wins.

PS: i am not here to correct anyone but being an martial artist i enjoyed every second of the fight, it was technical and lousy at times with his unorthodox approach and Tony has incredible sharp elbows which caused these cuts, i am really waiting for the fight against Tony and Khabib as Tony is an artist who flows according to the opposition and he is incredibly great on the ground and i wonder how that match up would be as we all know Khabib will take anyone to the floor and the important question is what can Tony do on the ground, will he come out victorious with a slick submission or Khabib control him like he did to everyone in his undefeated career.

Stop spamming. You're trying to make an argument out of nothing. I didn't like the fight, what is it to you ? No one asked for your analysis of it and of MMA in general.

Yeah sure the hypocrite stance suites better  , if you are not interested in engaging in a conversation here why you want to scribble down what your personal feelings are in the first place, just keep that within yourself, if you are engaging your opinion in an open forum and if someone has other opinion regarding the fight they will counter you, if you feel hurt because of that then i am out of that conversation as i am not in a mood to argue with kids.

I'm not interested in engaging in a conversation with... you. Read again, use google translate if necessary, ask your dad or someone with a 3 digit IQ to explain it to you but please stop posting if you don't have the brain to understand half of what you read. Do you even know what "hypocrite" means ? Wtf does that even have to do here ?
You probably took too many hits in your career as a "martial artist" lol.
And I'm 44 btw.  

P.S : I tried to stay polite but this is really ridiculous.
