Jake Shields and Rory MacDonald often make fights boring, Kelvin was fat and I didnt watch Strikeforce but that was long ago and the man who beat up anorexic Keith Jardine became champion so perhaps times and things can change

People constantly talk about that fight like nothing happened, I thought it was pretty good, rory completely neutralized him.

The same as it ever was. If Ferguson takes him down/gets out of the first two rounds he probably wins. Or McGregor will finish him early because he gets hit clean at the beginning of all his fights.

I remember thinking Woodley would maul Rory. Seeing him completely shut him down was great to watch.

Yeah, that's about the long and short of it.

Tony's going to have trouble for two rounds and then Conor will for the final three if it makes it that far.

Worth noting though that Tony gets hit and dropped but doesn't seem to got to sleep and recovers well so he has that going for him even if Conor cracks him, though Conor probably hits the hardest of any of Ferguson's opponents.

McGregor is going to punch Tony Ferguson a lot. I don't think there hasn't been a fight where Ferguson didn't take a few hard shots, usually he ends up a bloody mess, but his cardio takes him to victory cause guys get tired punching him so many times and his chin is good.

Conor needs to approach the fight the same way he did in the Nate rematch: land enough to win rounds, don't jump on a black belt even if you knock him down, and conserve enough energy so you can be defensive for the last 2 rounds. Then just hope the judges award you a narrow unanimous/split decision. Then never agree to fight Tony Ferguson again.

He will probably crack Tony 3-4 times and then Tony goes down for good. He starts way too slowly and is hittable early for this to go well.

Conor has a loss by kneebar, and Tony seems like the perfect guy to win via Imanari roll

Lol Conor isn't fighting anyone except for GSP or Nate. I'm keen as gently caress for Tony's first defence against Barboza, after Barboza wins by default against Khabib.

Yeah pretty much my take. If Tony gets out of the first 2 rounds it could be very interesting but I really don't k ow if he does. The dude keeps his chin up in the air and doesn't really move his head at all. Doesn't have particularly fast hands either.

I'm all aboard the GSP vs Conor stupid super fight, but I do see the logic in doing Conor vs Ferguson and Woodley vs GSP first before that match. Both of those matches are dangerous but winnable for Conor and GSP.

The Nate trilogy fight feels to me the most that can happen at anytime and be a huge fight, so if UFC is smart they keep that one on the back burner for when they really need it.

I remember hearing this a lot and when I watched it it ruled hard. Rory totally shut him down but kept busy for the whole fight, it wasn't like he held him down for 3 rounds or w/e. I really wish he hadn't been let go :(
