This isn't WWE, and he should not get a 155 title shot for being Cerrone at 170 in his first fight back over a guy who beat him at 155 while Conor was decking old men in a bar, ESPECIALLY after the way Khabib manhandled him. I can’t think of a possible worst match up for Gaethje than McGregor. McGregor would be arrested for murder after how badly he knocks him out. A wild striker will never ever stand a chance against Conor. He is the best power-counter striker since Anderson Silva, not that I’m saying he’s near Silva as a complete mixed martial artist.

Gonna be too fast and too accurate. I would love to see the upset, but it's hard for me to find a way for Cerrone to pull that off. Agreed, I just dont see it happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I say anything about Conor being a good matchup for Gathje? I said that a guy who hasn't won in 3 years shouldn't get a 155 title shot with a win at 170 over a guy who is on a hot streak including a win over that opponent at 155. If the next fight they make is Gathje vs Conor, that works, and Conor probably wins, but at least it'll be fair as opposed to handing the guy a title shot because he's good on the mic.

beekay414 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 @steelcurtain29 Hey, you closed my last MMA thread in April of 2018 due to the old forum rules of 100 pages and I lost my ability to update the OP with promotional champions and upcoming events. Can I make a new MMA thread so I can go back to doing so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so pumped. This is freaking huge news. The pessimist in me is expecting him to come in and get decisioned by someone like Ed Herman, but there's a case to be made he's better than any LHW in the world right now other than Jones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yoel v Izzy UFC 248 Rogan mentioned it on his pod a couple days ago I believe, tho didn't see anything official until today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2020/01/israel-adesanya-vs-yoel-romero-ufc-248-title-fight-booked Izzy vs Romero. Looks weird based on Romero's recent record, but I don't think anyone can argue this is an exciting matchup. Huge for Izzy if he gets past Romero here, Yoel's still a scary af dude Edited January 17, 2020 by Buckrock101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
