Good card, between work and other stuff I haven't watched one live in a little while but will be getting this for sure.

Would probably like to see the featherweight fight on the main card switched for the Womens fight or even the Flyweight fight but also understand the featured prelim etc.

I find it hard to see Tony beating Khabib but Ferg continues to surprise.

Rose v Joanna is THE fight to watch for me.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

this card looks great

 

[JG22]

Tony vs Khabib the biggest fight in a fair while

Conor may get stripped just before to add to the hype

Been looking forward to this for a long time

 

[bkozican]

Who thinks Rose will beat JJ again?...I think I do

Yeah has felt like a while since I last watched a card as well

I don't care how good this card is.....I refuse to get behind it until the 2 guys (you all know who) make weight.

The reason why Conor still has his belt (somewhat), they don't trust these guys.

Will be interesting to see Yoel make it too, after weighing in nearly 3 pounds over in Perth

 

[JG22]

Noticed it at the first press conference, and again on the latest promo.

Khabib is displayed as the #2 lightweight contender.

Meaning McGregor will be stripped but made #1 contender.

Must watch...

 

[JG22]

Khabib says he's going to try and finish him this time

[phantom13]

I’m gonna be honest, every notification I get for this thread I immediately assume is someone breaking a cancellation.

WTF this gets me so anxious.

Tony trying to outdo Khabib for most ridiculous reasons for not making it to fight night.

I hope one of them doesn't make weight and pulls out due to a bad cut
Just to throw it all in the air about titles again
Plus to basically see the mma internet sites melt

Must watch...

Ferguson: Michael Johnson will be too much for Khabib.

Next minute Khabib does stuff to MJ that would get him arrested in 107 countries

Sounds fun.

Khabib wins by unanimous decision 50-45

Ferguson does win a round 10-9 (Khabibs first loss of a round) but he makes up for it with a 10-8 round win himself

A great way to crack your shinbone...I don't care how conditioned it is.

Should probably stick to banana palms or something.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

It's hard to see anything but a Khabib W, probs in the same fashion as the Barboza fight.

In saying that, Tony might be the rare fighter who can inflict some pain on Khabib, and cut him up a bit.

Hell of a fight. The atmosphere will be next level, especially coming straight from the co-main which is also an awesome fight.

I’m no mathematician but I don’t think that math adds up.

 

[deklares]

I’m no mathematician but I don’t think that math adds up.

It does if he loses a rd 10-8 then wins a rd 10-9.

Edit: Apparently Im no mathematician either..

 

[00Stinger]

I’m no mathematician but I don’t think that math adds up.

I'm a dickhead. 10-9, 9-10, 10-8, 10-9 & 10-9

49-45 Khabib. That works!

 

[phantom13]

If you lose a round you can’t get a 50 score.

If tony wins a round 10-9 and Khabib wins a round 10-8 and Khabib wins every other round 10-9 it’s 49-44

Khabib 9-10-10-10-10 (49)
Tony 10-9-9-9-8 (44)
