That's daft, had a 2yr year break with a a one off boxing match in middle. Some boxers are less active.

I genuinely think he will, catch him coming in like all the others and he's probably going down.
Same as most others except Diaz of course.

I can't believe size of Till up against Woodley, made him look like a different weight class almost.

Glad Conor is back he makes every lead up, as well as the actual fight very entertaining. Khabib might be a bit much for him in size, and wrestling but Conor always has a chance to catch him coming in and Khabib isn't exactly known for not getting hit. Great fight, really looking forward to that one.

Personally I'm disappointed (but not in the least bits surprised) that McGregor has walked back into a title fight after "the incident" - literally any other fighter would have been fired about 90 seconds after it happened - but we all know Dana has no stones whatsoever when it comes to anyone that makes him $$$!
Looking forward to the fight but a small piece of me will be hoping McGregor gets soundly beaten!

Out of all the UFC opponents Conor has had, Khabib probably gets hit the most. I can see a KO in the first or second round.The days of the UFC being anything approaching a merit based fighting promotion are long long gone now, the 'money' fights are going to become more and more prevalent as the promotion chases odd new records etc. to sell tickets rather than just making decent fights.
I'm personally eagerly awaiting DC starving himself for a year to take the middleweight title too and become the first simultaneous 3 weight champion
LOL, MMA is supposed to be better than boxing, not stoop to its level regarding inactivity and diva nonsense. The boxing match is irrelevant to me - I'm only interested in MMA fights for him, and thus his inactivity has been trash. "The incident" mentioned above further cements my desire for him to lose and then Khabib can do a far better job of having championship fights regularly as it should be.

Shame. UFC taking the final steps to becoming WWE. Won’t be paying to see that any more than his ‘boxing’ match.

Exactly my thoughts. glad he's back, even if he only has one fight. Clever man made money! Enjoy his life!
Big respect to Khabib for an awesome UFC record also.
last nights UFC 227 results..
wasnt surprised by TJ winning but didnt think he'd win so quickly, i thought maybe by points but he caught Cody pretty good,
Mighty Mouse must be pretty down thismorning, if he'd have won then he'd be up for a great payday to fight TJ

I think Cejudo has embarrassed himself a bit, immediately calling out TJ for a 'champ vs champ' fight. With Conor it was all about the money train and he cleared out his division, with DC it was because apart from a drug addled Jones, no one was really challenging but Cejudo is coming off a 3 win streak after 2 losses. He's not in a position to bypass his division and jump straight to the next weight imo. He owes DJ a shot back first, along with defending against the likes of Benavidez, Borg etc.

Imo dj got unlucky the take downs aginst him did not give cejudo a dominate position where he inflicted a ton of damage a lot of his top position was holding like the old gsp would

No need for spoilers I don't think....
Really happy Cejudo got that because I honestly thought the judges were going to give it to DJ, even though I scored it 48-47 to Cejudo.
Another big win for TJ, Cody again way too emotional swinging for the fences and TJ is too technical for that.

Cody needs to get his emotions in check and learn to throw a jab. You can't throw combination hooks against someone like TJ, it was moronic and he was bound to get knocked out. He'll need to grind his way back through the division now, there's no way he deserves another rematch.
