May 10, 20205 yr Author Yea. Never seen tony in a battle like that. Work on your take down defense gathje because lay and pray is coming.
May 10, 20205 yr Wasn't expecting Tony to get thoroughly dominanted (understatement) like that. Dude could've been put to sleep at least a dozen times.

May 10, 20205 yr Love the idea of Conor vs. Tony. It would be cool on the same card as Khabib/Gaethje, but there's no way that happens.

They’ll save Connor v tony (if it happens) for their own card as the main event without a title fight on the card. It’ll be interesting to see what Dana does with Connor because he doesn’t want to waste Connor on a fight with no fans due to ticket sale waste but he could move a lot of ppvs with him and if the no fans goes on for as long as some predictions you can’t waste those either.

Conor is in an interesting spot. I think he's beyond his prime and content with the money he's made, but he's obviously still a massive draw. They essentially fed Cerrone to him back in January because they knew Cerrone was still a "name" but over the hill and it was a safe fight for Conor. Out of respect for Cerrone, I don't want to call him a "soup-can" but that's essentially what he was for McGregor. An easy win that keeps him in the spotlight and conversation. Khabib looked so dominant against Conor and if they do that rematch any time soon, I can't see a different result coming. I think Ferguson is the perfect fight for Conor, because he's catching Tony on a decline, yet he's still a big name for Conor to go against. It'd essentially be a better Cerrone matchup for him. The fight that I'd really want to see down the line is Gaethje/McGregor. Stylistically that fight would be fireworks with both guys being excellent strikers. That's a much better matchup for McGregor over Khabib. The unknown with Gaethje is his ground-game though. He was an all-American wrestler in college, yet hasn't even tried for a takedown in his UFC career. My dream scenario is Gaethje beats Khabib, Conor beats Ferguson, and then they do Conor/Gaethje after that.
May 11, 20205 yr when Gathje threw the belt to the side and said "I want the real one".....SAVAGE!!!!!
May 14, 20205 yr Smith needs to can his corner after letting that go on way longer than it should. That was criminal.
May 14, 20205 yr Author Agreed. I bet Cruz was watching that fight wishing he had that ref in his fight. Thought for sure they would have called it in the third. At some point though the corner had to protect their fighter from themselves. He wasn’t going to give up on his own accord but he knew he was done
May 14, 20205 yr Author No his gym said he has been having trouble with veneers so that’s totally what he was talking about
May 14, 20205 yr Poor guy was handing the ref his teeth as Glover was throwing bombs on the ground and pound
May 15, 20205 yr Following the Smith-Toxeira fight: Hopefully, Herzog doesn't overthink it going forward.
May 16, 20205 yr Author Agreed while I think it could have been stopped earlier I respect that he gave smith a chance. I put more blame on his corner for not seeing he was asking them to stop it.
May 16, 20205 yr Agreed. Didn't necessarily disagree with the decision to not stop the fight. Teixeira kind of awkwardly wasn't able to finish the fight. He made it 5x worse for Smith by prolonging it. His corner probably should have stepped in, but that's also not an easy decision either. Sometimes fighting is fighting.
