Sket 13,610 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I was surprised to see Maccarinelli is even still fighting.Last I heard of him he had been knocked clean out for the 2nd,maybe 3rd fight in a row (I think). Was a good few years ago.Noticed he never celebrated after he KO'd RJJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo 1,433 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 White saying he's fighting Edgar but kavanagh saying he won't fight at that weight ever againI think if anyone deserves a rematch its aldo for what he has done for that divisionI'm sure he would go to Ireland alsoBe interesting to see what happens. For all his faults, credit to him for stepping up a weight and taking on some tough opponents. LW division is pretty deep. He still hasn't really been tested by a wrestler. A 20% fit Mendes gave him real problems for a while. Frankie would be a nightmare for him as well - at either FW or LW. A lot of big wrestlers at LW.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Chisora is a smart fight for when Joshua is ready to move up a level. He was a title contender, who still has a little name value for when he gets knocked out.There's also no real chance Joshua loses that fight. He'd be a good fight pre-Haye to gauge whether the Haye fight is a good idea.I reckon Joshua will fight another couple of relative nobodies first.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I hope AJ doesn't go near Haye, the guys a prick. He shat it off Fury and now AJ is on the scene he's been brown nosing him in a pathetic attempt to get one last pay day. Not to mention the fact he wants to become the next Bond. Chisora is out there, Parker too, plus the Whyte rematch. AJ better tell him to take a jump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillete 1,338 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 AJ will go the European route and fight helenius next I'm sureChisora wants nothing to do with AJ and I don't blame himI'd like to see him in with Stiverne Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanow 72 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Can't wait to see this Cowboy Cerrone v Dos Anjos fight now to see who fights McGregor say what you want about the guy but he has got loads of eyes on the UFC including me.I reckon Dos Anjos and Cerrone would beat McGregor, I also want to see Joe Duffy given a chance at him in LW as he is a guy who has previously beaten McGregor, can't wait.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Aldo deserved that tbh. He lost my respect when he couldn't look McGregor in the eye. No-one's asking him to act like a dick but I'd hazard a guess that boosted McGregor's confidence. He got caught up in the mind games but deserves a rematch due to his history. Quite strange to see 2 fighters like Aldo and Rousey in the situations they're in right now. Next fight for both of them is absolutely crucial.

Next fight for both of them is absolutely crucial.Your probably talking 12 months or longer if Aldo gets another shotCM has said he's moving to lightweight but keeping the featherweight belt. He will fight the winner of cerrone etc then it will be Edgar who get the shot at himAldo's coach said he would have retired if he beat him on sat. Not sure the hunger will be there to hang around for a year waiting. He could hang around then CMcould say fuck it, I'm moving up for good after Edgar Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I wanted Aldo to smash fuck out of him but as the fight got closer McGregor grew on me, just due to his talent. The guy can be a bellend but he's cashing the cheques his mouth has been writing so credit where it's due. When is the cowboy fight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody says he's a dick but I just see it as him being entertaining to sell fights.He's a talented fighter but he's also a brilliant showman and that's making him as big a star as his fighting ability is. I used to think he was just a dick but a lot of those feelings have went away after seeing how respectful and toned down he's been since the fight IMO.

ShanksRFC 3,869 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 UFC will try and keep him happy as much as possible seeing they have lost GSP, Silva, Jones, Aldo and also defeats for Rousey, Velasquez...At the moment he is there main man. Rumours were also flying about that Mcgregor plans to break away eventually and promote himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think he was just a dick but a lot of those feelings have went away after seeing how respectful and toned down he's been since the fight IMO.If you watch him on the Ultimate Fighter coaching he comes across as a decent cunt as well, apart from ripping into Faber.I agree with Kaiser tho, Dana is quite happy to turn this into the WWE now, which is all good and well for his pocket, not so good for the hardcore fans who love the sport and not the soap opera.Lost a lot of talent though so I guess needs must and McGregor is the cash cow as it stands.
