It ultimately doesn't matter who wins because Conor is never going to fight either of them.

I can see Conor finally defending a belt if Tony wins. I don't think he wants any of Khabib.

Lando, Hunt and Ugly Tony, Judo Dan all for the win.

Dunno about Thompson-Woodley, think I'd actively like to see a Woodley win again if only so he can keep being a loudly aggrieved champion, while starring in a sitcom with Sage.

He denied it for a while and then started claiming it was. People like to think that it was because they finally wore him down and got him to admit it, rather than he realized it was a marketing opportunity, which is the truth.

I think it's the other way around. Tony has the height, reach, and striking to give Conor trouble. Khabib at least has to get inside.

yea it doesn't hurt the division at all if he never fights in it again or something, but it would be nice if he would.

it's funny by the time the fight is over there will be 20 combined wins in the division between Khabib & Tony and Conor has had 1

He finished him but he didn't clown him. The first round had about two strikes total and then he KO'd him towards the end of the second

I wouldnt be suprised that Hunt retires after a win or loss. Dude is getting up there regardless.

I dont think Conor will ever fight the interim belt holder because they're going to fight GSP after he beats mcgregor.

He won last time after he caught a sub following a takedown from the clinch, although he wasn't the one landing the takedown

Hunt is really strong and actually decent in the clinch. There are a lot of examples of guys trying to control him there and just being overpowered. It actually happened to full-steroid Overeem about a hundred years ago when he fought Hunt the first time--tried to clinch, got bitch-tossed to the side, then tapped Hunt with a kimura from bottom side control.

Shooting in on a single is really the way to go if you want to take Hunt down, and I don't think Overeem has a good enough shot unless he really sets it up with striking.

My guess is Overeem will try a strategy something like what he used on Big Country, who is another short HW with very heavy hands.

I don't think that advantage is near as big as it was when they first fought though.

I think it will be much easier for Overeem to punch Hunt from on top than Struve. And easier to get him there. Overeem can very easily gently caress it up but that goes without saying.
