    Fuck it, I'm down for it. I feel Ngannou has deserved a shot. Stipe might not be able to recover from Francis' shots. I think thats a fight where whoever lands first, wins.

    For the record I believe a healthy Cain is the best HW, unfortunately he is rarely healthy. I also like to believe that Francis will end the Stipe era, shall that fight take place.

    I just don't know how that fight could be any different from the last.

    Khabib wants Conor in December. Coach Kav says no way.

    Khabib needs to earn it. You can't turn down the interim title shot and then expect to face the champion. My gut tells me Nate/Conor III and then winner gets winner of Ferguson fight.

    And yeah, I agree speeds...I don't see how the 3rd fight would be any different than the 2nd fight. Conor outclasses him on the feet and avoids the ground battle.

    Khabib pulled out of one title fight and passed on another. Impossible for him to get Conor at this point (unless Conor calls for it).

    Even worse if Kevin Lee beats Tony Ferguson. Lee is a similar grappling-based fighter and I doubt they'd want to see Conor face two of them in a row, supposing Khabib wins his next fight, presumably against Barbosa.

    Nate Diaz's agent is requesting $20-30MM to rematch Conor McGregor.

    Pretty smart. Say what you will about Nate and Nick not fighting--they are going for big fish and are willing to fight only once every couple of years if that means a bigger payout.

    Volkan Oezdemir has challenged Alex Gustafsson to a "King of Europe" match.

    With JJ shelved and DC coming off a loss it actually makes sense to have these two fight, especially since DC already has a win over Gus.

    Duke says CM Punk and John Makdessi both have bout agreements signed but are waiting on their opponents.

    Not to fight each other. That'd be bad for Punk.

    Khabib thinks he's fighting the winner of Ferguson/Lee in December.

    Not sure that either of those guys want to turn around quickly to fight Khabib.
