    Does Mcgregor have a better chin than Ferguson? F*ck no. Does he have better cardio? Nope. His chin would shatter if he took Justins punches and if it went past the second round it would only be a matter of time. Gaethje is an animal.

    Is JG gonna land before mcgregor gets him? doubt it... JG got finished by DP and eddie stop. Easy fight for Mcgregor .

    The only possible fight now for Mcgregor is vs Tony.

    Sad to see Tony lose his win streak to an ordinary fighter like Gaethje.

    Didn't look ordinary tonight. That was an absolute hammering! He smashed the #1 contender to pieces.

    If Justin is ordinary, what does that make the man whose soul he just took?

    I think CMac could potentially win.

    But JG is an easy fight for no man. Esp this version. Thats just crazy talk.

    One of the best performances I have ever seen in the octagon. Wow.

    Nah, he'll wait. Feel sorry for Tony as don't think he'll ever get the title fight Vs Khabib or the money fight with McGregor.

    Infairness anyone thats hitable and willing to stand is gonna be hard pressed to beat mcgregor.

    Watch what DP and Eddie did to JG, whats different about this version? other than he's abit more calm.

    respect to Tony though for taking on an animal like justin who was probably the most dangerous guy in the division

    Almost any other fighter would have waited for the title fight

    I wanted tony khabib so bad like so many others and simply because he beat everyone else but now I want jg khabib just as bad

    Honestly i think you ve abit of recency bias...His abit more meassured but he is still just leg kicking and swinging for the fences... TF made him look good with 0 defense, im not saying his bad, i just think CMG is a bad match up for him.

    Yeah he has the wressling atleast on paper and the cardio if this fights anything to go by, gonna be proper interesting if he can keep it standing i dont see khabib taking the shots he landed on tony.

    Apart from that uppercut at the end of Round 2 and an unorthodox leg sweep, Tony couldn't really get near Gaethje. Granted I've only seen 5 or 6 of his fights, but that was the most mature, smartest fight I've seen from Gaethje yet. That makes him a whole different animal and contender IMO.

    Ye still might see Tony Khabib, but not for a title, I'd love if Justin had planned his capture of the lightweight throne from Khabib by hiding his wrestling for years in the octagon and then hijack Khabib in a title decider by wrestling.

    You can't say he's swinging for the fences, fought a perfect fight there and is simply a wrecking machine


    cmg might fancy his chances now alright

    with regard to tf I think cmg wouldn't hesitate to take that now

    I wanna see Diaz vs TF the blood would flow! lol

    I think TF pay wise deserves the CMG fight.... brain damage wise i hope he doesnt get it, as cool and all as it is to say his indestructable... he has to be taken some serious damage from the way he fights.

    We might finally see Gaethje use his wrestling against Khabib, but it'll not be offensive. His best shot at winning that fight will be landing that left hook repeatedly as Khabib won't be able to just keep taking them.

    I think his the same as his always been, just more measured and gets involved in less dumb exchanges when he doesnt need to. Infairness JG has always been good he was undefeated before he got to the UFC. I just think style wise mcgregor is real bad match up for him, if DP and EA can stop him Mcgregor can aswell.
