    I know there is a ton of hype around this fight, but I do believe this will be a classic! Those two will battle in there! Can't wait FAMS! Sept 16th in Vegas!

    I've been watching UFC since it began. There are no more Gracie's or Ken Shamrock's. The sport is nothing like it used to be and no longer as beautiful as it was. It's straight up ground-and-pound and not nearly as beautiful as a Roy Jones fight. Go back and look at some Roy Jones highlights. You'll never see anything like that on UFC. Watch this whole video. Forgive the music but you'll see what I'm talking about.

    Roy makes a good point here when he talks about the gloves and when he talks about McGregor's stamina level.

    Huh?

    Almost all of the current UFC champions use a ton of stand up. I don't know what fights you've been watching but the beautiful thing about mma is what technician will win out.

    The stand up guy? The wrestler? The bjj guy? The grappler?

    Comparing stand up to boxing is like comparing apples to asparagus.

    I hope McGregor wins, not because he's white or Mayweather is black...but because Mayweather is wife beater/abusive towards women.

    But I also think McGregor is a schmuck...so can they just both beat each others brains out and it will be a draw?

    for anyone who isn't familiar with how beautiful the mma can be, I suggest watching Tyson Griffin vs Clay Guoda. Maybe the best technical match in MMA history.

    My mother is hyped for this fight, and the last time she was even remotely excited for any kind of fight was back when Sonnen fought Silva the 2nd time lol
