Barboza vs Ferguson should be a war.

Barboza vs Ferguson should be a war.

dunham vs lauzon could be crazy as well.

Yep, another potential war. Lauzon likes to get bloody and nasty lol.

that's a good way to finish a card, with three sets of fireworks.

 

[Emma B]

Is that what that one is 7 fights on that night?

In early

Is there anymore? I'm trying to be 'prepared' for once and have all the weigh-ins done (as in typed out etc) before every event has taken place and this is the only event I am missing with all the fighters who are on the that card

I believe that's every fight announced so far.

 

[lookoutawhale]

I hope Frankie wins, I want him to fight Conor.

That also means you want Conor to win over Aldo @lookoutawhale?? Noooo Aldo will win against McGregor

heh. im back and forth on the conor/aldo fight. I like Conor's brazen personality and his hilarity, he makes a great heel but on the other hand i want to see Dana's face if he loses.

The perfect scenario for me would be for Conor to beat Aldo and then fight Frankie. Im more of a Frankie fan so i would be rooting for him there.

I hear Conor saying if he beats Aldo he will move up a division therefor bypassing Frankie. In that case I want Conor to lose to Aldo so then he would have to fight Frankie. It all depends. If Conor is willing to fight Frankie after Aldo i wish he wins. If he wants to leave the division i want him to lose to Aldo so he can fight Frankie. Everything leads back to Frankie

I think this is the last fight for Aldo and Conor at 145. No more IV to help weigh-in= moving up a weight class. Aldo has talked about it in the past and with this win he'll have cleaned out the division. And Conor has already alluded to it as well.

Is Conor moving up a division even he loses on Saturday?

I can see Aldo moving up if he wins since hes beat everyone.

[Left Hook Larry]

I think this card looks slightly better on paper. Looking forward to Gonzaga, Hall, and Mendes/Edgar fights

I would think especially if he loses.

He's said if he wins, he'd fight Edgar and then leave. He says a lot of things, so it's hard to tell what's genuine. But I feel the weight cut was probably already hard enough with IV, it's going to be that much harder without so I'm sure 155 is in his near future.

 

[Emma B]

McGregor has always stated he will be a two weight world champion so therefore I see him winning a featherweight title (only when Jose vacates of course) and then moving up to lightweight to win that title. That is how I have always read it. This exactly how he did it with his previous promotion Cage Warriors.
