McGregor was the biggest winner tonight.

He gets called out by the two winning lightweights coming off their incredible finishes. The MMA world is still his oyster.
If he cares about how he will be remembered, he will retire, imo. He's coming off how many losses? He's made his money, so he should just sail off into the sunset, unless he just wants to scrap and doesn't care about losing. 170 is where he wants to fight next since he's been cycling. Usman? Sheeeit, bad move. "Some guy" at 170, doesn't pay bills. Think about what Lawler would do to him at 170, and he isn't even ranked.

He doesn’t care about that and he isn’t afraid to lose. He wants to test himself and set record, but most of all he wants to make money. He won’t retire yet because there is at least another mega payday or two out there. Whether he gets to cut the line to the title at 170, 155, take the fun Chandler fight, the continuation of the Porier series, or finish the Nate trilogy, he is going to make bank.

The Nate fight make sense, moneywise. Is there another blockbuster moneymaker though? Masvidal is all I can think of. Not to say he doesn't make money in any given fight placed in front of him, but one would think he would go big if he's in it for the money. Usman doesn't draw flies when he shits.

How does Royval vs Schnell get fight of the night? ?? That fight was weak in comparison with everything else!

Cowboy vs Lauzon rescheduled for June 18th in Austin (which is Kattar vsEmmet). It’s a bit of a letdown to not have this on a bigger card but that event needed this injection of name recognition.

Oleyvara only missed by 0.5 lbs
Can someone please confirm

with a title fight, there is no extra lbs allowed, correct?

You seen Khabib lately? I bet he’s pushing 200 lbs for real. Now way he makes LW again.
He's disciplined enough to if he wanted to, but I for one hope he stays retired. It would be nice to see a fighter keep his word and have the financial wherewithal to do so.

Edit: Seems he says F all that anyway.
