Monumental **** tuck from Dos Anjos.

According to Ariel Helwani on Twitter, Pettis is in the frame to replace RDA against McGregor!

Not sure he's going to present much of a challenge though, thought he was very poor against Alvarez

Dam shame, no title for Conor to fight for? What is the benefit for either fighters who ever steps in?

Some fighters are really dumb with the amount of full contact training they do. I watched the countdown episode of one of the recent UFC events and I couldn't believe how hard some of the guys were fighting in training. I can't remember who it was, but one of the heavyweights was doing a sparring session with one of his training camp guys and if it hadn't been for the pads they were wearing you could be mistaken for thinking it was a real fight. Surely take things down a notch, particularly in the final few weeks before a fight?!

Fair enough if it's a muscle or ligament that you damage while moving awkwardly in training, but breaking a bone can't be down to anything but not training smart.

edit: respect to Connor if he still takes a fight. He's got more to lose now that RdJ has pulled out.

Not even that! A broken little baby toe! Wimp!

Conor will be ****** he just flew out there a day or two ago as well.

 

[RobDogDog]

although he won at the weekend i think its far too soon for Cerrone v Conor next weekend
Diaz

I really want to see McGregor vs Diaz but not on such short notice. I think the UFC will realise the media potential and drag it out over months rather than weeks.

 

[Kris_90]

Gutted, I thought it was going to be an awesome fight. Conor vs Pettis could be a good fight but possibly not on less than a weeks notice.

 

[Quinnaay]

Conor v Diaz pretty please. Cerrone got demolished by RDA

 

[Captain]

Why do they do such intense training a few days before a fight? Surely it makes sense to train hard in the weeks coming up to a fight but ease off just before the fight?

 

[cainer]

oh well, at least we still have Hom V's "dat ass"

 

[snappyfish]

Bring Aldo in .... Ha

Hence Conors approach to game and why he's so interesting.

 

[Rids]

My money is on Cerrone stepping in. He always takes fights on short notice, is pretty much always in shape... and probably isn't much of a threat to the cash cow.

I suppose it's this, Cerrone dont like conor. Wants to bend him over and knock the luck charms out'a him.

Could be interesting.

 

[Vipernet]

bring on Nate Diaz

Most likely imho

 

[Kenai]

I think they'd sooner feed Nate Diaz to the wolf, Cerrone is a big enough name to make an event out of that fight later down the line, no point wasting that on a short notice 'oh but he was never ready for it' type fight

 

[McBain]

Turned it down because he's not in shape apparently. Can't blame him, got dusted in 13 seconds off a full camp so doubtful he would fancy it again on 2 weeks notice.
