    Feel like we haven't heard a word from Conor in the almost 2 months since 189. Makes this interview that much more entertaining imo.

    Conor is such a windup merchant

    Gets under a lot of poeples skin but they'll tune in to watch him either way

    Ya that card is awesome. Would have thought they would have attempted to stack the Melbourne card a little more considering its a big stadium show.

    Here is the full 194 card. There's probably 7 or 8 fights that are PPV worthy and the other fights would easily be main card on your normal FN card.

    •Champ Jose Aldo vs. interim champ Conor McGregor – for featherweight title
    •Champ Chris Weidman vs. Luke Rockhold – for middleweight title
    •Yoel Romero vs. Ronaldo Souza
    •Max Holloway vs. Jeremy Stephens
    •Urijah Faber vs. Frankie Saenz
    •Demian Maia vs. Gunnar Nelson
    •Tecia Torres vs. Michelle Waterson
    •Warlley Alves vs. Colby Covington
    •Marcio Alexandre Jr. vs. Court McGee
    •John Makdessi vs. Yancy Medeiros
    •Kevin Lee vs. Leonardo Santos
    •Magomed Mustafaev vs. Joe Proctor

    So the undercard for Bellator: Dynamite is gonna have fights going at the same time in the octagon and the ring.

    Ya it's awesome.



    They also announced JJ vs Letorneau as co main for the Melbourne card. Plus they are doing an event on December 10th now on Fight pass. So 3 shows in a row.

    As stacked as December is there are still a bunch of guys who want to fight then. Pettis vs Barboza or Alvarez would be a cool main event or Mitrione vs Browne.

    That was funny

    So many want to humble Conor now

    Saying that he just promoted 194 to sell easily over a million

    Not only that but he got the wheels rolling on promoting 3 other fights.

    Something tells me 145 isn't gonna be an option any more with the new IV ban for Conor. Otherwise the move doesn't make sense.

    As a Conor fan the thought of a Khabib fight worries me.

    Pretty slow next 2 months as far as the UFC goes. We got the Barnett/Nelson card on the 26th and then 192 the weekend after, but then it's 3 more weeks until the Dublin show.

    Outside of the UFC there's a lot going on. This weekend there is an Invicta show. Next weekend there is Bellator Dynamite, WSOF, Titan FC and RFA. The weekend of Barnett/Nelson card there is another Bellator card(Joe Warren vs LC Davis, Grove/Beltran) and then supposedly the Russian Fight Nights card on Fight Pass that Vitaly Minakov is headlining.

    Do any of you guys listen to the Heavy Hands podcast? its my new favorite mma podcast. For those that don't know its a technical breakdown of fighting, primarily striking. I suggest anyone who hasn't heard it give it a listen.

    ^Dana just reported that Dillashaw vs Cruz will take place on January 17th in Boston on FS1, crazy. That's probably the biggest fight in BW history. Also Jim Miller vs Mike Chiesa is being considered for the December 10th Vegas Fight Pass show.


    Anyways figured I'd throw out the mention lost for the new TUF tonight(10 PM ET) on FS1. It's a 2 hour premiere with all the fights to get into the house(usually the best episode). This season will be United States vs Europe, as many of you know.
