nah he will still be on 20/20
they probably trying that for sure, but this isn't nickle and diming time, the rest of the card is ok-ish but not to pull the big numbers in like they thought they would

well obviously they won't, I was just making a joke

and Nate likes to cry about the 20/20 while conveniently leaving out the large signing bonus he agreed to so that he wasn't relying on having to actually win to earn decent money. Can't believe a word that comes out of that camps mouth

I'm confused, it seems Nate believes he's owed something. better pay sure, but he's got a line behind him of fighters willing to step up.

Rafael dos Anjos has been forced to withdraw from next week's highly-anticipated UFC 196 main event fight against Conor McGregor.

According to multiple sources, dos Anjos suffered a broken foot late last week, forcing him to pull out of the lightweight title fight against McGregor. The UFC is currently working on finding a replacement to fight McGregor on less than two weeks' notice, however, nothing has been finalized at this time.

It's déjà vu all over again for McGregor. Last summer, then-featherweight championJose Aldo withdrew from his fight against the Irishman just eleven days before UFC 189. Of course, back then, the UFC adjusted quickly and booked Chad Mendes to fight McGregor and the event went off without a hitch. Furthermore, this marks the fourth time in McGregor's eight UFC fights that his original opponent was forced to pull out of their fight.

BTW Khabib has been saying for weeks that there was no way he would be ready in March for the Ferguson fight, which is why the fight was pushed back to April. Now there's a fight with Conor on March 5th and he says he asked for it? He's either lying now or he was lying then.

Last guy to fight cmac made 5 million. I'd fight through the pain for that kind of cash, wouldn't you?

Well whoever fights Conor on March 5th will not be making Aldo money, but I do see your point. If I am Khabib with his injury history I might see it a little bit different though. If anybody shouldn't rush back, it's him.

I'd hate to see him come back only to get hurt again. Very good point.

My current ranking in terms of likelihood (which means next to nothing)
Diaz
Cowboy
Faber (just a hunch)
Pettis

I think it is a Diaz and Cowboy race right now.

Iirc he's a pal of the scrap pack and videographer. I don't know much though.
He's a hanger-on who makes videos sometimes and pretends like he's cool with a lot of fighters. He made a video of Ronda training in Stockton before she blew up.

He used to post on the UG and name-drop whenever he could. He's exactly like RVD but without the text message-only relationships.
