I'm behind because I missed the live start but Conor constantly selling the whiskey is just amazing.

I'd like to have had Dana on a heart rate monitor for that entire conference.
You, uh, might be a mark.
Just making the UFC his bitch here. God damn I hope Khabib beats the fuck outta him.
Far as I'm aware that's a standard contract they like to get people to do, so if they retire after like only 3 or 4 unless they really just want to be done with you, you're screwed in terms of easily transitioning to Bellator and just being done with the companyEight
fight
deal
Anderson Silva's most recent contract, and CM Punk's only (let's be honest, only) contract, were both that same length IIRC. It being Conor, it's just obviously more money, but with 0 title defenses because he doesn't fooking defend belts

It's a shock because I expected Conor to have at most 2 fights (Khabib then Diaz).
They ain't letting him fook off to Bellator or RIZIN. He's fighting in UFC, WWE, or boxing, or he ain't fighting, they'll make sure of that
What you sign to isn't what you necessarily do, like I've said
Punk ain't having 6 more fights in the UFC, but if they feel he has enough value they don't want to risk Bellator having him, he won't be fighting there without doing it. Doesn't really seem like a difficult concept

Conor is dictating the terms more than a guy like Punk though.
In order of interest, the fights I'm hoping for:Eight

Ferguson
Barboza
Diaz
Lee

Think they'd be fun fights. I'm guessing UFC is probably gonna try to set up a GSP fight if everything goes well for Conor.

I think what pisses me off most about that deal is that the fighters lost a lot of money with the Reebok deal eliminating their ability to display sponsors on their gear, and now they're going to give Conor ring branding for his shitty whiskey. Probably promo spots too.
JJ vs VS for the vacant flyweight title in Toronto Dec 8
I'd love to go but prob can't make it

Gone from rooting for her a year or so ago to hoping JJ gets beat the fuck up.
I was giving you shit in that Spidey thread but I'm going to agree with you here.

I wonder what the plan is for Jones' first fight back. There's no way DC is giving up the Brock fight, so that leaves Gus at LHW or someone (maybe Stipe or Rumble) at HW.
Oh, it gets better. Jones will win in one division and Dana will hand over the belts for both divisions to Jones.
Only one of them won their title from an #11 ranked real estate agent though.

Wow, just saw Lovato Jr's RNC in Bellator. That was some high level shit. I'm a purple belt in BJJ and I've never seen a RNC like that before. He protected his arm behind his opponent's head by actually putting his chin over that arm to prevent it from being stripped. In BJJ class his RNC would something you'd be taught NOT to do because you're exposing your face to strikes. Lovato's MMA BJJ is on another level. Too bad he's older and not as athletic to really make waves.
Proper Twelve is sold in Bevmo but all sold out in the LA area. Which one of you bought them all?
Had to look both of them up. Magomedov hasn't fought since 2015 as he got popped in 2016 and was suspended for two years. de Lima hasn't fought since April of last year after he got popped. But this year he was cleared and USADA said he'd taken a tainted supplement. Magomedov is 3-0 in the UFC with every win coming by decision and de Lima is 4-3 in the UFC with his wins coming by sub or T/KO.
They can't seriously be thinking of headlining 230 with a pair of no-names, can they?
Fuck.
