Tony will fight Khabib.
Woodley will fight Thompson.

But Diaz III is more enticing to Conor than anything. Maybe he'd fight Tony. Maybe he'd fight Thompson. But I just think Diaz III would be the biggest sell again. And this probably won't happen til at least the middle of next year.

I think Conor stays at lightweight for now. If he were going to attempt to win the welterweight belt, I think he would've tried to hold onto the featherweight belt to make it three at one time. It'll be Diaz, Khabib or Ferguson. All three interesting matchups.

I'm already imaging Khabib getting caught by Tony, and Conor being able to avoid Khabib for even longer. No way if I'm Conor do I take Khabib on if I don't have too. And that's no discredit to Conor, Khabib is just a russian freak.

Cejudo should have won the fight. But I can't believe he took a point for what was clearly accidental. Those guys are moving so fast you can't get to upset over something like that

It was two strong strikes to the nuts within a minute or so of each other. I can go either way on it. Weird decision, the way the scores fell.

Finally watched the fights last night. A few thoughts.

Moreno has a ton of potential, but he might be punch drunk before he gets to his fighting prime.

Elliott was awesome and this was basically Rocky and Warrior having a baby in real life.

Ryan Hall is the ****. He's like a gimmick pit fighter from a bad 80s movie. Gray Maynard is a *****. He took more kicks to the head than anybody I've ever seen. Maynard could only operate at medium range. Hall was dominating him from long range and GM was scared to get too close, yet Maynard is acting like Hall is the *****.

"I checked it out on tape. It's definitely frustrating. I get that you want to play keep away. But every time a guy gets within two feet, you can't just sprint away or just drop to the floor. He literally just dropped down to the floor. To the f--king floor. I've never seen that in my life." - GM

“He also elected to sit there and call it a night rather than go for broke, which is something that, as a competitor, frankly, I don’t understand,

Were I him, I would have given it a shot at a certain point, because I felt like he was pretty cleanly behind on the scorecards at that point. I would sooner risk going out on my shield than not.”

"He is a little bit upset, but the reality is my face looks like this, and his face looks the way it does, so?..." - RH

If you can't take advantage of an opponent who inverts and turtles right at your feet, that's on you.

Hall was in the right. This is mixed martial arts. Various styles/disciplines. If you can't roll and you're facing a guy whose expertise is BJJ, you deserve to lose. Well-rounded guys win in this sport, period.

The UFC brought this on themselves. The Reebok deal was the anvil that broke the camel's back.

Choi/Swanson was awesome. Both showed incredible durability.
Surprised Brown lasted as long as he did. Huge fan of Cowboy and glad to see him win.
Pettis/Holloway was a little under whelming for me, and maybe dampened by Pettis breaking his hand so early, but Max is no doubt facing Jose next.

Women's featherweight championship fight announced for 208. Holly Holm VS Germaine de Randamie. Not sure what the deal with Cyborg is.

She (Cyborg) has soooo much muscle and fights to even make 145. She needed like 3 months or something and the UFC wasn't gonna wait.

It's too early for another women's weight class. The talent pool was just starting to get respectable.

On Twitter, Mayweather is offering $10k to the funniest caption of McGregor getting submitted by Nate Diaz.
