What are the odds that Dominick Cruz moves up to 145 for a superfight with McGoat?

Snuffing out a pound for pounder could be tempting enough to drop down to 145

 

[dman14]

how many title holders right now can main event a ppv as the headliner?
think ufc should just continue with the superfight model and forget about rankings

what are they really going to sell us on with jones suspended, rousey potentially retiring, and mac holding them hostage.
watch them bring back CM

They have nothing tbh

They're going to be sniffing around for money fights as much as possible

Would love to see Cruz challenge himself and fight bigger guys while his knees still have something

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This is why I'm intrigued by what will happen at 185.

What are they going to do with Romero as the 185 champ assuming he mauls Bisping?

It was interesting to me to hear Rogan talking pretty definitely about that fight in the ring.

After which all the commentators were saying "IF" that fight happens.

Like Dana sent word for everybody to slow down

Whenever diva Rockhold returns that'll be the fight to make. The UFC really doesn't care about Jacare but he's still around

I still feel like they're angling for GSP or Nick to be Bisping's next fight.. because once again... money fights

 

[illphillip]

Aldo would SHORT CIRCUIT if Cruz got that fight

Aldo would SHORT CIRCUIT if Cruz got that fight

I just watched a Frankie interview after his fight and he was straight up asked about a Cruz fight and Frankie said "Cruz has a fight ahead of him, we'll see what happens and make a choice from that"....

Hmmmm......

 

[kingfoamnyc]

JJ always been high key racist

Like King said Honda at her peak was :x *** talking she the greatest fighter in the world and she could beat dudes in the UFC

Legit calling out Floyd telling him she'll beat his *** whenever he's ready shorty was out of control

 

[Cashflow]

Cruz vs. Edgar I wouldn't be oppose to that. They should throw CM Punk on that card to be the draw.

TJ Dillashaw would throw a fit though

Hmmmm......

I would like to see Cruz vs Edgar then have the winner fight Conor. That would be

For the belt. Since the belts are just being thrown around these days.

 

[shogun]

she was also asked if she had a chance against velasquez and said yeah. Being confident is one thing, being stupid is something else. I wish they would've set up a sparring session for her with floyd and velasquez.

 

[QU!K]

Frankie probably shook after his training partner got destroyed with minimal effort

I would run from Conor and fight Cruz too

TJ had his turn at Cruz already

 

[doyung9]

This is what I want to see

I'm already planning a trip to Dublin in the event they make this happen. Don't wanna go to the event, just the weigh-in and then watch the fight at some pub in Dublin.

For what belt? Conor can't make 135

cruz has to start cashing out given his history of injuries. might as well get the biggest payday possible and not worry about defending the title.
ufc is really in a tough position. who is the hype going to be on now? i seriously can't think of one.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Not related to anything but I can't wait for Korean Super Boy fight with Cub at 206

I hope the young dude pans out, seems like a quiet savage

 

[xbiker47]

We need that Ronda vs Cyborg fight

 

[Cashflow]

 

[ambitious sole]

For what belt? Conor can't make 135

145 belt. Have the fight at 145 since Cruz is willing to move up and Edgar already fights in that division.

 

[illphillip]

So Rumble and Cormier up next.

Jones out til July.

What the **** to they do at 205 after that fight?

Gus out indefinitely as well I believe.

 

[Cashflow]

Pray Rumble knocks out Cormier to set up the tiebreaker

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ariel gets it... he's hitting all the points this morning on his show...

He's calling out Ronda too, confused as to where she's at mentally 

I never heard Ariel be this pointed about a fighter in a negative light

 

[blackcease]

You know if he wanted to, Cormier could probably pull off the two weight class champ thing too. The way he ragdolled Barnett, controlled Mir, ran through Bigfoot, I think he could possibly give Stipe a go. I'd still rather see Rumble win though.

And I'm guessing the winner just sits until Bones is off suspension. Light Heavyweight looking worse than heayweight nowadays

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Calm down, Anthony

Max may tune you up...

Yup. Only reason he moved down in the first place was Cain

He was awesome at HW, so quick and was actually able to have more power with his punches at that division. I don't see why he wouldn't be able to compete in today's HW division 

 

[Xennial]

Jones would beat Cormier at HW
