Helwani confirms McGregor vs Alvarez is Headlining UFC 205!!

[BenadrylBandit]

UFC where a loss and close decision win at WW gets you a shot at LW. What a joke. ****s over Khabib and Aldo.

Dream scenario. Vacates and then Conor loses, which he will, lulz.

If Eddie has any gameplan at all it'll be to just wrestle **** Conor to hell.

[Yotone]

lets hope alvarez succumbs to the pressure of the people wanting to keep it standing and hope he is still on a high after knocking out rda to box with him.

it would be a mistake on his part but he knows everyone was bored to death when he fought pettis.

[seanb1979]

Conor in the 1st.
Eddie is tough but he hasn't fought anyone as good or fast as conor yet.

then conor goes back and defend this belt against aldo and destroys him again. then conor vs RDA. and after that conor/diaz 3


O LAWD NEXT YEAR IS GONNA BE AWESOME

RDA is faster than conor

[BenadrylBandit]

RDA is faster than conor

Idk if this is true, but RDA is certainly a more dangerous fighter than Conor at 155. People seem to forget that Conor isn't a true 145er. He's a LW who puts himself through hell and beats up smaller people. He found out that people don't crumble to his shots with Diaz and Alverez isn't some bum off the streets, he's incredibly dangerous.

I mean this is a chance to become a star and try and knock out Conor or just win with a boring decision causing no one to check out his next fight.

Gotta take the risk to get tge reward which i doubt he will do

Someone with sense, instead of some of the blatant blind fanboyism for mcnugget

Hope Eddie takes his ****ing head off like he did rda

[butteredtoast]

****n ufc.. Aldo deserves his rematch, and MSG far more than Alvarez does. Hopefully we get Aldo v Pettis at least.



Last I read this is only a rumored fight, not confirmed. Seems too stacked to have it added on now.

It's confirmed now, for the main card. It's on UFCs website.

Tate-Pennington, Frankie-Stephens, & Rashad-Kennedy on the prelims.... damn.

This is the real UFC 200. This will be the biggest card of all time.



I cant wait for the press conference this afternoon

[wickedman]

Nice to see Conor make his bum life. I will actually buy this card, most stacked ever, not going to risk a stream going out.

LoL at some people crying that people don't want to watch Khabib try and lay on someone for 5 rounds in the first NY card.

[HipHopLyrics]

I cant wait for the press conference this afternoon

For once I'm looking forward to the women, Joanna v Karolina will be nasty!

[weddingsoup]

he's got the belt on in that picture, so he isn't vacating like dana said.

[butteredtoast]

Yeah, Dana said he isn't vacating. Also, Aldo said he doesn't want him to vacate.

[wickedman]

Dana's his bitch and Aldo knows that if Conor vacates he's never coming back to make his bum life. He will at least try if he holds the belt.

[deepfat]

Gotta hand it to Conor, he doesn't take the easy way out. Alvarez is a nightmare for most anyone. Simply put, his wrestling will be too much for Conor and his chin is among the best in the sport.

Hnnnnggg at the entire card, though. Stacked top to bottom.

could fill a bath with the amount of tears you spill over Conor.

stay upset.

[ImJJames]

One thing we can all agree on, Mcgregor ain't no bitch.

[sooby]

lol @ Dana White,

but I can understand it though, UFC 205 is gonna be a big card, quite possibly the biggest card ever and you can't have the biggest card ever without your biggest draw in Connie. It's hilarious that Frankie gets put on the prelims, lmfao. Should be awesome though.

Has Jacare and Rockhold been confirmed yet?

edit: nvm thats on another card

[butteredtoast]

So McGregor is only not being stripped so he can hold two belts at once (possibly) but WILL have to vacate one if he wins. Good.

Also, jesus christ, they're trying to get Khabib vs Michael Johnson on 205 too.

http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/9/27...dov-vs-michael

This will be the card to end all cards, pretty much

[BenadrylBandit]

Honestly shocked Conor can make weight with you on his dick.

[sooby]

lmao

[Gainzzz]

except almost everything i have ever said about the guy turned out to be true..?

whenever Conor is even mentioned in a thread you pop up and cry about anything and everything. get over it you little *******.

[AWillis]

Might have to get tickets. How much you think it's gonna be?

more than you can afford, pal

[wrstlr152]

There is no reason to have this fight, neither fighter has cleared their division, hell they haven't even defended their belt yet.

The only reason this fight is happening is because the UFC is seeing $$$. They are hoping people will jump onto the UFC hype train and they will make millions on PPV buys.

I'm growing less and less interested in mma(UFC mainly) by the day with these hyped freak show events.

How many times are people going to continue to make this argument? It's been going on for the last year. It's not new. Everyone should already be aware that rankings don't really matter and it's all about money.

And this isn't a "freak show" fight. This isn't Kimbo (RIP) vs DaDa 5000. Or CM Punk. These are the kind of superfights that fans have been asking for for years. Everyone used to talk about Anderson vs GSP or Anderson vs Jon Jones, but now that these types of fights are happening people are getting all up in arms about it.

Just watch the show and enjoy. They're good fights

[wrstlr152]

Dana doesn't want Diaz v McGregor 3 I listened to an interview with him on Hot 97 and he doesn't like it at all.

But yeah that would be crazy.

Edit: They start talking about Conor around 24:40



Decent interview

Dana also said McGregor wasn't fighting Alvarez but yet here we are.. he's also said he will never hire Josh Barnett yet he's on the roster. You can never trust what Dana says.

Connor isn't GSP or A. Silva in their prime, they(GSP,Silva,JJ) took the belt and kept it. Connor has already lost one of these freak show fights. Comparing Conor to any of them is blasphemy.

This shouldn't be a fight fans are asking for, neither one has defended their belt. People who want to see this fight are drinking too much of the hype train koolaid. The only reason people are watching these fights is because Connor can talk sh#t and hype fights that otherwise make no sense.

This isn't comparable to those superfights because at that point there was no one left for those guys to fight.

Silva? Defended 10x, Cleared out his division, fought 3x at LHW.
Jones? Defended his belt 8x. Cleared out the division.
GSP? Defended his belt 9x. Cleared out the division.

Alverez? 0 defenses, 3-1 in the UFC
Conor? 0 defenses, coming off a loss and win to Nate Diaz at WW.


Nothing about this is a super fight. These aren't two champions who have run out of options. I don't blame the UFC for wanting to make money, but Dana should be called out for speaking out of his ass and letting Conor own him.

I've been following the UFC for 10 years and this fight doesn't appeal to me, it's for the casual fans. 205 would sell just as many, if not more, PPVs if the main event was Aldo vs McGregor.

[Gainzzz]

every Conor fight is a super fight.

keep crying.

[butteredtoast]

Conor is the biggest draw of all time. He doesn't have near the skill of the aforementioned fighters, but he sells tickets and people want to see him.
Champ vs champ = automatic superfight.

And I'm saying these things from a completely unbiased point of view.

I hate Conor and I sure as balls don't think Alvarez is the best lightweight, but it was the fight to make for a celebration card (other than Conor/Aldo), which is literally what they're calling this.

205 press conference

[wickedman]

"Shut yo fukkin mouth" LMAO, can't wait for Conor to wreck him.
