So Khabib the drongo believes he should now fight Tony even though it doesn't make any sense and he probably won't make weigh.

Perhaps his marketing works now that I hate him.

Wait wait wait

Barboza is fighting Khabib???

Barboza's waiting for Khabib to sign the contract.

219 could be worth a ppv

 

[bkozican]

The next 3 PPV's all look worthy of $50

I don't like the idea of interim champs defending their belts but Tony & Khabib I wouldn't mind seeing at UFC 219. Nothing bummed me out more when those two didn't fight earlier this year.

Conor fights the winner early next year......St Patrick's Day in Dublin sounds cool.

Hoping for Tony v Mcnuggets.

Khabib v Barboza.

Khabib v Barboza.

Well, that probably should happen. On the same card would be great as it would a four way option to ensure the card goes forward.

Khabib v Barboza is an epic match up of striker vs grappler and if it didn't happen if they went against McDaddy or Tony it would be fun.

All win.

Oh great....just realised the Poland card is only on Fight Pass

Cracking fight. Barboza has 86.8% TD defence.

Although he struggles with pressure fighters, it's strikers that put him on the back foot and then mix it up that give him problems.

It's obvious what Khabib will be aiming to do and he is very hitable.

I'm leaning towards picking Edson, but it is the classic wrestler vs striker fight.

Hopefully Khabib makes it to the fight.. won't get too excited until Khabib is walking to the cage.

That's an awesome fight!

UFC 219 is shaping up to look amazing.

Always thought Mike Perry was a bit of a douche, didn't like him

But his latest interview with Helwani has made me see him in another light

This part when he talks about his encounter with Till the day before the weigh ins had me cracking up

All of his appearances on the MMA hour have made me like him.

The first one especially.

He is a different cat, but that's the appeal. Love him or hate him, you can't not have an opinion on him.

Darren Till is a really cool dude as well. Very likeable.

Was seriously worried I was going to miss this.

Cannot wait.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

I didn't think you would get a PPV. That's awesome. So flipping jelous it's not in Vic, but I guess we had our turn.
