HIs snap judgements are really bad to see from the figure head of a company. Everyone knows that Cowboy is his man and has saved more cards/fights than he can even keep up with. Not to mention always entertaining to watch. He's living embodiment of the 'Well.....b****, you ugly anyways!' line when cats get rejected.

 

[droseph]

Damn, he's fighting in a little over a month and a half? That's crazy. Wasn't like he didn't absorb damage either. Matt Brown tagged him something vicious a few times. Hopefully Cowboy comes in healthy though. Hate to see him lose momentum because he wanted to fight early.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

They added AA vs French Guy to the Denver card... nice

I see Floyd keeping the fire going by saying "I'll slap Conor when I see him"

Screw the boxing just let em get a street fight on lol, been waiting for Floyd to take a proper beating for a while now

 

[illphillip]

You're gonna have to keep waiting

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Oh, it'll never happen. Make no mistake about that 

 it'd be nice though

Jorge and Cowboy

cowboy a monster man.

foo has won 12 out of his last 13 fights. 32 wins total

He'll never be a gatekeeper, when you fight as often and fight literally anyone...you reputation is beyond belts and rankings

sure he done lost some big fights, but he always come back better....saiyan ****

dana always talking about how active and game conor is, anytime anywhere anyplace....cowboy is the one

**** even conor turned down the fight against cowboy

cowboy has hit iceman status, he's like your favorite fighters favorite fighter

 

[illphillip]

Agreed with all of that.

But hope my dude Jorge get his

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Have a feeling Cowboy and Jorge will fight to a decision...

Right now I'm thinking a close decision.. Jorge needs to fight smart, not get emotional and get caught. He can take this W for sure.. way more faith in him than I did Brown

 

[SORIANOTRON]

been a jorge fan for a long time

but this it a tuff fight for jorge, his biggest test to date for sure

jorge has to be aggressive, he just cant sit back and box with cowboy....although his hands are crisp AF he be falling in love with his boxing

tuff fight, but I see cowboy making work out of jorge probably stopping him.

at 170, cowboy is a hurricane man

 

[onlyXXVIII]

You said his name so many times [emoji]128514[/emoji]

 

[illphillip]

You have to go back a loooooooong time to find a fight where Jorge was KO'd. And there's only one. He takes punches pretty well.

Way longer than Cowboy.

Everything is usually decision. Or sub, where Cerrone has the advantage.

Jorge's wrestling is solid. He just doesn't use it much. Could come into play in this fight.

I liked how aggressive he was vs. Ellenberger. I hope he finds that groove because he definitely has a habit of laying back and counter punching and not setting up his punches enough.

I just want to see a good fight. It has all the makings of one.

 

[shogun]

He blasted ellenberger. If he does that against cerrone then he'll win. You blast him early and it's usually a wrap for him.

 

[g money 87]

I love thed fight just don't like cowboy taking astep back in competition. Should have taken a top 5 guy

I think cowboy uses his wrestling in this one

 

[equality]

Cowboy's one of those guys who just wants to fight and doesn't give a **** who and where and when.

Dana's so predictable

Dana White has now fired back, he explains the whole situation with Cyborg rejecting fights and also claims the ‘bus has gone’ for Cyborg and that Ronda Rousey could receive the first title shot. Here’s the full statement:

“We’re out to disrespect Cyborg? She said she couldn’t make 145 pounds in eight weeks. We offered her a second and a third fight. She turned them down. With everything I’ve got going on in my life, the last thing I’m thinking is, ‘Hey, let’s get together and disrespect Cyborg.’ We offered three fights, and she turned them all down. This is a business. I had two girls who wanted to fight for the 145-pound title. This is the pros. If you play for the Patriots, you don’t sit around and say, ‘I don’t feel like playing this weekend.’ We brought her in because she said she could make 135 pounds. When she couldn’t, the weight cut was too hard, we created the 145-pound division — and she still doesn’t want to fight.”

“This is a business of opportunity. When opportunity arises, you jump up and take it. If you don’t, the bus is gone, and it passes you by. If Holly wins and becomes a champion, and that’s the scenario [Rousey regains the title]? I guarantee people will want to see [Ronda move up to fight Holly].”

 

[bware113]

Travis Browne / Derrick Lewis set for 208. That should be good. I'll take TB, But man has he taken an extreme step back working with Edmund. That guy is an awful coach. I don't understand why anyone works with him.

Woodley/Wonderboy looking like March.

 

[chino905]

208 still needs a main event. Hoping it does end up being Aldo vs Max.

Has a date for Bisping vs Romero been set yet?

 

[QU!K]

Things I expect to happen while Conor is out with contract disputes trying to get ownership shares and preparing for the birth of his baby.

Conor probably won't fight again until Q2 2017

Pettis vs Holloway
Tyron vs Wonderboy 2
Aldo vs Pettis/Holloway for 145 belt (they'll strip Conor)
Khabib vs Ferguson for interim 155 belt mid 2017

I'm gonna give myself a cookie for predicting all this a month ago

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Not bad quick

 

[shogun]

They gonna make a 155 interim belt? They gotta stop doing interim belts.

 

[g money 87]

They gonna make a 155 interim belt? They gotta stop doing interim belts.

That's what u get when u let one man fight for 2 belts

 

[QU!K]

 

[chino905]

They need to sell ppvs, so belts for everyone.

 

[P A Z]

Just rewatched Pettis v Holloway.. I ain't know Holloway used Drake - Legend for like the first minute of his walkout..

You can hear the crowd singing along. Must've been hype considering it was in Toronto

I want commentators to get belts. Don't give one to goldberg though.
