The UFC employee firings happened 2 weeks or so ago. All of the major UFC people outside of USA were recently fired, even the main guy in Canada with the short curly hair (Tom Wright) who was always the person who ran the post-fight press conferences instead of Dana White.

A bunch of people were fired, but we're only aware of the big names.

Edit: I know about the firings via all of the major MMA news websites covering it, like BloodyElbow, MMA Mania, MMA Fighting, MMA Junkie, etc.

I think that Khabib draws a lot more casuals than people think though. I'd also argue that Khabib is more well known to casuals than Ferguson, mostly because of his fight last weekend at MSG. He's not the best at trash talking, but you can definitely sell a 24-0 undefeated record to the casual audience. That being said idk if we'll see Conor fight any time soon, I don't see the UFC giving Conor a stake in the company, or paying him much more than he got for the MSG fight. He deserves it, but the UFC doesn't want to pay their fighters more than they have to, and the more they give Conor, the more everyone else wants as well.

Khabib and Ferguson need to fight for it. I think Conor has gambled enough for our entertainment for now, Nate 3 is his parachute in the event of a CONVINCING loss to either Cerrone, Khabib and Ferguson. Mayweather will surely happen if he beats all 3, featherweight is just too easy for him. The guy keeps improving each fight win or lose, if he is given the time to obssess over his wrestling and cardio, he will probably test WW lol

Khabib is a nightmare for McGregor and isnt even the clear next contender I think the UFC would be very stupid to give him a shot at Conor, I dont know if connor cant make weight anymore but I'd like to see a rematch with Aldo now, who cars about Nate, we have seen enough

yep exactly. nate needs to prove himself at light weight now and get a no.1 ranking to get to challenge conor. it looks like the guy who was hyped really bad is nate.

I want to see a rematch with Aldo too, maybe he can fight smart this time, Eddie kicked Connor in the legs at the beginning of the fight and it was working, Aldo is a monster doing that, he should fight a little like he was against Edgar but with a lot of leg kicks and maybe he can win.

Ferguson and Khabib can fight for the interim belt.

This is definitely going to happen now. Mayweather tryin' to get a reaction from Conor :D
Best fight to happen if he defends against khabib successfully, more so if he loses. Then Nate 3 after haha
The guy will make hundreds of millions in the next 2 years

I'm telling you this Conar sabbatical may end up promoting an exhibition fight
Definitely going to end up a boxing match if ever, Conor doesn't risk shit by losing (clearly), Floyd shoulders it all but his record does not. This is going to be bigger than Pacquiao vs Mayweather if given the time to get legs and proper hype. Both fighters know people always have boxing vs mma discussions over beers :D

Khabib talking to MJ as he's beating on him; Miesha telling Bryan she doesn't "have it" anymore; Weidman leaking blood from his temple like a water faucet; and Conor being awesome.

Sick, loved it.

LOL khabib is the shit haha

Check out Dana Whites instagram, people are spamming hard about khabib getting a title shot :O

Khabib is a pure psycho man, what a MVP hahahaah

It's a different fight but in the end it all ends up the same hahaha



I was always a fan of the guy from the first "fifty gs babey", but I stopped doubting him after Aldo
Iirc it was only fans, prob luke thomas and kenny florian picked conor out of every analyst out there including the "geniuses" like jack slack
The guy is just crazy on another level, a rematch vs Nate at 155 would define it.

Ive neer seen Jack Slack making a prediction and in his analysis in no way he suggested Eddie would win at all, on the contrary, the thing he has said about Connor the most is that he is very vulnerable to low leg kicks and he is, he has eaten every single leg kick with full force.
