Bout will be fun just for the pre fight trash talk the actually fight isn't actually as exciting as you would think (if you are a Connor fan of course) I might be in the minority but I actually wouldn't be mad if they held off on making some bandaid fight and just re-booked the RDA fight another day. This kind Jimmy fix it booking is short sighted

Your scenario would make sense if RDA's injury was relatively minor and they could re-book the fight right now. But that's not the case.

2 scenarios:

1. Conor waits for RDA to heal and is booked in a future card. This will take time.

2. Conor takes a fun keep busy fight. In the meantime, RDA recovers from injury. Conor likely wins and they book fight with RDA.

I don't know about you, but scenario 2 looks a lot better.

I bought Fight Pass for the Silva vs. Bisping fight then I realized im gonna probably miss it live. Does anyone have Fight Pass? How do there cards work can I watch the fight like an hour or two after the fight or does it take time for it to be replayable?

That is nates way of saying he wants the fight. Dana white knows this. You do know the only reason he said that was because of this



You really think this breh is gonna try to jeapordize his shot at conor.


Hes probably on the phone with dana as we speak. He really opend up the interview with "fukk that" completely disregarding rogans question

a fun (as you say) but losable fight diaz might not shoot anytime soon but his range is going to give Connor fits. And if he loses then what? the whole making history storyline is over and for what, a diaz that is really a highly favoured gate keeper posing as a contender? It's an unecessary gamble

I don't see Conor losing this fight, the gamble is minimal.
