    UFC 200: Jon Jones v Denial Cormier

    Conor wasn't in Iceland purely to start his camp, but mainly to help Gunnar close out his. Gunni is the only professional fighter in Iceland, no disrespect to Mjolnir MMA they look like an excellent setup but if you've seen a sparring session you'd understand the mismatch.

    Tumenov is a dangerous guy with elite boxing for MMA and dangerous kickboxing. Bringing in Conor to spar with is a no brainer if he wants to come in sharp.

    Any chance the thread title can be updated yet no?

    They don't forget, I have personally mentioned it at least 3 times on this thread, or in the other one. People ignore it alright, but that's a different matter :)

    I think instead of UFC 200 Cormier vs Jones 2 it should be UFC Fight Night Cormier vs Jones 2

    Will this even make 1 mil buys? Can't see the interest tbh. Jones and Cormier both very boring people.

    My god, the McGregor nuthuggery is now at ridiculous levels, JJ and DC is a "boring" fight that nobody will be intrested in?!?!?! WTF? Aldo v edger etc all on one card and it bad?!?! You guys do realise MMA was the fastest growing sport in the world before McGregor?

    I'm no Jones fan but he is by no means boring lol.

    He's a drug-using, drag-racing, preggo-crashing crazy mofo!!!

    I think it will do a mil alright, wait till the promo and hype kicks into gear. Its 3 months away, they just shot the commercial and had the first big press conference.

    Its UFC200, its a good card, they will promote the hell out of it. No fear of it not breaking a million imho

    noones saying its a bad card but its just not a million plus buys card without being ''ufc 200'', jj and dc is gunna be a good fight but aldo and edgar arent draws atal, look at their last fight and the ppvs it got? i personally dont think it hits a million but I could be wrong. and theres no denying this card plus mcgregor diaz wouldve done 1.6 and upwards. as a card in its entirety rather than just having 3 title fights, 198 or 199 could be argued to be better cards overall

    Always makes me cringe when guys trot out that line. How do you quantify the growth rate of a sport??

    I mean more personality wise. He's not exactly Captain Charisma. His 'off the pitch' antics are interesting to say the least! I'd hope for him to change his life around, I doubt he will though.

    Boring people does not equal boring fight.

    Although considering Jones beat Cormier already on a unanimous decision it's not exactly mouth watering. We'll see. And lol do you have any proof that it was the fastest growing sport in the world?

    The fastest growing sport comes from where it was to where it is now.

    All other main sports are well established in comparison to MMA.

    I presume ufc gauges it by their reach.

    Cant think of any sport that has seen such growth in the period mma became "mainstream"

    Who cares how many buys it does??? It's a good card and it's going to be great to watch, if it does a thousand or a billion buys it's not going to affect my enjoyment of it by one iota.

    Yeah watching a technically superior fighter than 99.9 % of other fighters go to work sure is boring

    This thread will do fine for now, title has been updated - no need for a new one the event is ages away. Closer to the time Paully can set up his usual thread for it.
