Then goes back up to defend against the top contender at the time, Khabib perhaps (The unbeaten monster from Russia who's set to rule the division for years). Then that's it. Retire with both belts at once and in time for Christmas 2017. What a badass way to go out that would be.

Besides the fact he has plenty enough money to sit on his arse doing nothing! Personally i don't think he's taken much damage in his career. A string of 1st round KO's and one war in 25 fights is really unusual. He's 28 but compare that to his friend Mousasi who is 31 and has been in countless wars. If he's motivated and healthy i think he can continue for another 5 years if he wants to but i have a feeling he will retire before he hits 30.

So we should have him until 2020 anyway. He mentioned a $40 million year income wise but i'm going to guess that's a pre-tax number. Those cars don't come cheap and you can tell for certain he's got his eyes on a private jet and a yacht.

wonderfullife wrote: » agreed, i have to mute it. I said it at the time - it's the most biased call i've heard. Conor dropped Nate 3 times in the opening 8 minutes. The first one Rogan said "he tagged him". The second one he said "he tagged him". Third one "he hurt him". I can't think of any other fight i've watched this year where Rogan doesn't shriek "ohhhh!" when someone drops their opponent. He even went to the extent of trying to blame "the leg kicks" as the reason Nate was falling. He caught himself and added "and conors hard, accurate punches". Which was roughly the equivalent of Donald Trump saying "these women are accusing me to try get rich." followed by "and the fact i grabbed them by the P". In contrast, Nate had 2 good flurries of activity in the whole fight and Rogan went berserk for both of them. It's his job to impartially call a fight to let casual fans know what's happening. He utterly failed to do that in this call. He completely refused to acknowledge Conors takedown trip in Round 5 yet screamed like a girl immediately when Nate got Conor down. Conor is no fool. He ripped the Mic out of Rogans hands at the weigh-ins and post-fight interview. I can envisage a similarly frosty exchange with Rogan for UFC 205. What i really dislike is that in the months leading up to UFC 202, Rogan was hanging out with Nate Diaz on at least 2 occasions. He invited Nate to his comedy show and they partied afterwards and there was another one on snapchat of them all hanging out. It's unprofessional to be hanging around with a fighter who's fight you're supposed to be calling down the middle. By all means, go get stoned or baked off your noodle post-fight but at least be a professional for the 25 minutes first.

Anyway just a random thought - keep her lit lads. As for the announcement, wont have long to wait now!

Great credit to you both pal and best of luck in new york where we will see history made and the philadelphia brawler will have his head handed to Dana on a silver platter. To the Fighting Irish!!!
