MM wiping Elliots nose as he tried to strangle him, Great moment. Never ceases to amaze me trhe composure these guys have in there while trying to beat the **** out of eachother.

anybody watch the Mighty Mouse fight over the weekend? Was a superb fight

Wont spoil it if you haven't seen it

Which apparently is one the many reasons Zuffa sold when they did.

So taking that to its illogical conclusion Conor wants to promote his own events?

Wikipedia says its being petitioned to be extended to MMA anyway.

[Gibbo]

A lot of talk that this isn't about Floyd at all and more Conor wanting to use the Ali act to renegotiate his contract, which only covers you if you have a boxing licence

[labourRed]

There's as much chance of Elvis being Father Christmas.

It's a rather obvious negotiating tactic from CM.

[Hollowman]

The other problem will be the many punches to the face he'll receive whilst flailing around like he's trying to hit smoke.

[Bender]

The problem i think Conor McGregor will have is he'll instinctively revert back to MMA style

[Hollowman]

Reckon the UFC bosses will have no concerns at all about allowing their cash cow to get in the ring with Mayweather and be led round by his nose. That'll be top of their list of **** to get done immediately.

Mayweather vs McGregor? **** isn't even worth talking about.

[Alex]

Mayweather would pull his pants down IMO. Its a different sport if you cant take someone to the ground or kick them. It would just be a big payday.

[Vermilion]

Makes lots of sense for Connor really, massive one off pay day.

Also, will have an excuse of sorts if he looses, as it's different to what he normally does, and the rules will favour FM. imo.

The state of California has granted Conor McGregor a boxing licence

[Alex]

Was always going to happen. I dont think he will fight for a little while now. Cant hold up a division and leave it without a title if he isn't going to fight. Was talked about before, so its hardly a shock for him.

DC out and McGregor stripped of his belt

its all go
