EuskalHerria wrote: » Also it's abundantly clear Mayweather is mentioning Conor to keep himself relevant. He's retired, but fading into obscurity probably won't appeal to someone like Floyd. For Conor, every time Mayweather mentions his name he has Mayweather fans unfamiliar with him running to YouTube etc. to find out who he is. It's mutually benifical for both fighters to keep this up. It's madness to actually believe anything will come from it.

Deleted User wrote: » Fcuk Mayweather, I love watching Conor fighting and a Mayweather fight is a fight lost where he could have been fighting in the UFC. If he is off until May (Which I can understand), I would like to see him fight Khabib,Aldo,Ferguson, Holloway, Woodley annnnyone

People keep talking as if the plan iS to take until May off, spend a couple of days with the Baby and Get back into training..... That makes very little sense to me. What makes more sense to me is he fights
Gamebred wrote: » There is no bigger McGregor fanboy (well maybe Wonder) but I'm a realist, Shameless look at me ive met someone famous but I met Maia a few times and hes an absolute tank that used to fight at 185 if he catches a single leg just once its over and that goes for anyone at 155 imo but thats a whole other arguement before the Khabib fans start.

Gamebred wrote: » He's not ready for that its way too close after a training camp and hard 5 rds so he can keep angling, Im genuinely not mad for the Wonderboy rematch it didnt excite me too much sooner see Maia fight for the belt let Wonderboy fight Lawler or Condit in the mean time.
wonderfullife wrote: » Was that confirmed the guy who said Conor is in Artems corner tomorrow or just a rumour? I'd have thought if he's gonna be in anyones corner it'd be Charlie Ward. Speaking of which, his opponent looks excellent in the footage i've seen. National champion of Ghana in Judo and has an unreal right uppercut. 6 wins all by first round KO but has been taken down twice off caught leg-kicks.
Subcomandante Marcos wrote: » Charlie is a bigger artem. Heavy hands, plods forward hands down and goes head hunting. Don't see either of them having long UFC careers and neither would be there if it wasn't for their gym mate but sure they might as well take it while they can. Speaking of Artem, Ryan Hall raped him for three rounds and still hasn't had another fight. What's that about. Edit. Fighting Maynard on TUF finale next month. Heelhook incoming.

Gamebred wrote: » You say Artem was raped (he was positionally) wasnt close to being tapped at any stage in fairness to him if my memory serves me correct, hes 7/1 to get a ko tomorrow not a bad bet, I can see them getting fights in cagewarriors after the ufc should they be cut ever, Artem has a degree in finance so he has a career anyways.

What makes more sense to me is he fights in February on UFC 209 and then sits out until the November 2017 card in MSG.
