    Derek Brunson wants to fight Izzy and the UFC is looking at making that happen.

    They're targeting the already loaded November 3rd NYC card.

    Conor McGregor has been dismissed of all felony accounts. He will have to do 5 days of community service, pay restitution for the damage to the bus, and enter anger management evaluation.

    Must be nice to be a celebrity.

    Helwani reporting they want to make Khabib/Conor October 6 in Vegas. Expect a fight announcement by tomorrow, IMO.

    I am more and more starting to agree with you that Conor and the UFC staged that whole thing to drum up interest in the fight. Would not surprise me if Dana paid for Conor's lawyers.

    The real story will be if Borg and Chiesa pursue Conor in Civil court or if they settle outside of court. If they settle, I imagine the UFC big wigs influenced them heavily.

    I didn't expect Conor to do any jail time..but 5 days community service? C'mon man...not even a fine or a night in jail? Kind of nuts....

    UFC marketing will go into full effect now.

    Brian Foster is sick and removed from the PFL Main event on Thursday. Not real sure if that takes him out of the running for the million dollars or if they just let him fight someone else to get a shot at it. Would be a huge Kick in the nuts if getting sick costs him the chance.

    Seems appropriate Trump would be holding an interim, stripped belt.

    This has to mean Conor/Khabib is unofficially official. Just waiting on an announcement. Khabib is on camera this week saying that if the UFC doesn't pay him more for Conor, he will go fight Dustin. Well that isn't an option now. Conor/Khabib expected to headline 229 from all rumors...but there was a report that Khabib wanted him in Nov.

    If Dustin/Nate is going to co-main, what fight makes better sense to headline than Conor/Khabib?

    Potential UFC 230 card:
    Conor/Khabib for LW title
    Nate/Dustin #1 contender
    Romero/Costa
    Weidman/Rockhold II
    Adesanya/Brunson

    Jacare/Branch on the TV portion.

    Just throwing this out here, but Poirier/Diaz was the number one fight on the wish list for one of us. UFC 230 is must watch for me now.

    Nice call!

    Poirier's weakness seems to be south paws. IF Nate's cardio is still the same and Dustin can't put him down in the first round; I think Nate may be able to outlast him. Dustin is lucky this is a 3 rounder and not a 5 rounder. I hope Nate pieces him up.

    I don't see them putting Nate and Conor on the same card. Nate can sell 750k PPVs. I don't think he can add much to a Conor PPV buy rate. But it would be a fun night of fights.

    Nate was smart. He waited until there was a fighter he could beat for a title eliminator.

    I'll post notes from the press conference.
