he should fight Robbie Lawlor

Yeah if they do just postpone the fight, Conor will go to town on him with the hype.
You really have to wonder how much thought these guys put in to their training so close to the fight, when they#'re picking up serious injuries like this.

A few people laughed last year when Conor was raving about movement training, especially just before a fight. Think he might have a point.

 

[FTY]

Think he wants to fight again at 200. Too soon for Cerrone to fight again??

Nah.

It's Cerrone he'd fight every week if he could.

Only issue will be that obvs his last fight was at 170

How's he winning that?

he should fight Robbie Lawlor

Everyone should fight Robbie Lawlor, all at once

It'd amuse me if nothing else

 

[FTY]

Conor is going to love ripping him now. I quite like the idea of Diaz v McGregor. Would be a good fight. Diaz is usually in good shape all year round with his triathlons.

Missed weight in the fight before last like

He is probably walking around close to 180 pounds, big ask to lose 25 pounds in 10 days. Could try and say catchweight at 160 pounds

Aye, but he looked in much better shape in his last fight.

Cerrone is at 174 now according to his manager, 10lbs a week isn't a crazy ask considering he had to eat to make 170

It's a tough fight for Conor though. RDA is obviously tough but that's for the belt so should do big numbers and give him a massive legacy if he wins it. A fight with the Cowboy wouldn't offer that same incentive, but would still be a massive test.

No doubt the UFC are getting loads of calls right now from people will to step up.

 

[Azzurri]

Cerrone's the fight to make. Diaz McGregor would be worth doing just for the build up which they won't have on such short notice.

So much for Nick Curson's "foot strength training".

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Fuming about this - McGregor will be going to town in the next few days over this its going to be funny to watch.

Funnily enough i think this is a better matchup for McGregor then RDA. Think RDA would be the harder fight for him

 

[Azzurri]

Not a chance Diaz or Cerrone make 155, by the way. And Edgar's injured according to Ariel Helwani.

Be very interesting if Ferguson or Nurmagamedov could step in, but I suppose that throws the entire division into confusion.

Nate Diaz I think the talk was. Not Nick. Nate could possibly make 155. Nick would need loads more time to ensure he was clean.
