    A fight from far afield but I'd watch the **** out of Khabib going up to fight Woodley.

    Khabib relies on his size to fight at LW. If he moves up, there are too many people he can't take down. And with his stand up being absolutely awful, I'd wager he's getting knocked out against most of the top 10.

    People rave about his "Sambo" but in virtually all of his fights he's the bigger man.

    who fights woodley next?
    There's nobody there right now unless condit got a second shot and it seems the only other guy on a win streak is colby covington who would be unbearable if he ever gets his hands on that strap.
    I'd fancy either condit or masival to beat woodley.

    Lawler for a rematch?
    Condit has lost the last 2 - Maia and Lawler - both who lost to Woodley.

    Conor beats woodley.

    GSP beats Bisping.

    Conor v GSP for the lightweight/welterweight/Middleweight titles hahaha

    Crazy match-ups, yes, but not in the realm of the unthinkable. WME-IMG would only be salivating at the prospect. With Jones and Lesnar too it'd set up a nice 2018 for them.

    I don't see Conor beating Woodley easily, Woodley is so bloody fast & powerful

    Lesnar will likely be back but that isn't happening for at least a year. He still has his suspension and then has to rejoin the USADA testing pool for 6 months.

    After the Hunt legal sh*t-show, they arent going to risk cutting corners with him again. It opens them up too much.

    Jones will likely fight Gus next. Or maybe the winner of Gus/Volkan. Either way, it wont be Brock.

    DC KO/TKO

    It's as likely as anything I reckon though result would be the same Imo

    Has Condit ever had a crack at Woodley?

    I reckon Robbie is asleep by the end of the 1st again if there's a rematch

    Good fight up until the injury. Woodley was very explosive in that fight and had Condit rocked a few times. I seem to recall that Condit was coming back into it a bit and the tide seemed to be turning until the injury.

    He also seems quite disciplined in how he fights, he's not going to do anything silly against Conor if the fight were to be made.

    When you think about it WW and MW are in a bit of a mess at the moment. No clear contenders at WW and at MW the only guy who deserves a shot is injured. Ignoring the GSP "superfight".

    Please don't fall for Jones' spiel and think he has changed (for the 6th time). Amazing fighter, but scumbag of the highest order.

    Yup.

    Meh I don't believe it. Apparently he tested clean all thru fight camp then the post weigh in test comes up with a positive? Something fishy there.

    That's because estrogen blockers etc would've hidden any juice. . .

    He probably mistimed his cycle meaning that any blockers were worn out before the other substances were.

    So the fact he tested positive is fishy, not the fact that he tested negative for weeks only for a scientific test to give a positive result for a specific steroid the night before the fight..

    What a moron. I, like many others, really thought he had turned a corner. I hope this ban is far lengthier than the last
