And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Seems like a really wishie washy way of stripping a title. They could strip him now and hype the fight for the true title. Of course that might McGregor so angry he'll refuse to fight so... :v:

The right move is to strip him during fight week to get more eyes on the fight. So of course they won't.

I assume they're just doing it this way so if Khabib dies again on the way to the cage and the fight doesn't happen they can just keep promoting Conor as a champ.

Cockroache's Anarchist


he's likely to be at that fight because of the title and Artem Lobov fighting so they probably want to do some post fight confrontation or something. probably not. maybe he's secretly training to be an alternate for Khabib. also, here is this case of snake oil

theres nothing boring about jones' fighting, if he does fight again ill be happy to watch him do it. but he made his own bed and he should lie in it

It's a shame he apparently literally unable to not cheat AND a real piece of poo poo, because holy poo poo is he a great loving fighter. That second fight against DC, DC did an incredible job and it was still clear he was only the second best guy in the ring.

If he somehow doesn't end up banned for years (or a lifetime) and they do that Brock Lesnar fight, I wonder which one would fail their drug test first?

you keep yourself well hydrated and needing to pee, then you put on your sweatsuit and go through your cutting routine without peeing, your body is dehydrated and hosed up but you have the pee of a healthy, waterlogged man

I assume this is easier for dudes, since they can store so much healthy pee in their balls

We, the NSAC propose that instead we make it mandatory to drink the pee of a healthy waterlogged man during a weight cut. Lets see those tough guys try to cheat now.

The Guida one involved him losing badly before getting a TKO with like thirty seconds left to go.

It seemed like he had Swanson dead to rights in a submission in the 1st round of their fight, so when he got the finish in the 2nd, it came with a bit more momentum than he'd had in most of his previous fights. I think he's an interesting prospect with a fun style, but I don't think he beats Frankie.
