    Off the wording of Dana’s statement I would say that’s exactly what it looks like!

    Whoever wins will be the Champ but Conor isn’t being stripped. Pretty much means Conor is the Champ until they fight.

    Forgot about Dos Anjos smashing everyone. I want to see how he does against Woodley. MacDonald beat Woodley before, they are both on a different level now but Rory kind of embarrassed him last time. I think he can compete with anyone in the top 5... Woodley, Thompson, Dos Anjos, Lawler, Covington. Beats anyone outside that with ease although Till would be a very intriguing fight.

    Seen some people saying they think McGregor being stripped will be announced after this weekend so not to take away from Stipe Ngannou.

    Either way whatever happens now it’s got to the stage it’s embarrassing. Watching Dana avoiding it last night was cringeworthy.

    I think Woodley, RDA, Wonderboy and Lawler beat him comfortably now.

    I think he's growing into the role a bit, it's not McGregor, but I've quite enjoyed watching him on embedded.

    Comes across as an ice cold, confident monster. It's a good persona, and it'll continue to grow if he does Stipe.

    Brock and Ngannou, off the back of a title win, would be insane man!

    Aye I see that! I don’t want to make it sound like wrestling but he’s obviously going to be pushed as this unbeatable monster. You’d like to push him as an underdog because of his past and his story... but look at the * size of him!

    Aye if he goes in and takes out Stipe in the first round the hypes going to go through the roof. They’ll market him like a male Ronda. Just goes in and demolishes people with ease.

    Either way they need to start properly marketing other people with Ronda away and Conor nowhere.

    This probably the most exciting heavyweight title fight since 100?

    Be interesting to see the PPV buys.

    If Ngannou wins I think they will promote him like Tyson was promoted in his early days of his career as this unbeatable knock out machine, people love that. The back story as well could be a film, I think UFC know this and are praying he wins. Stipe chin probably just won't hold up in a 5 round fight, but has anyone ever really tested Ngannou's chin either. I wouldn't be shocked if DC gets KOed tonight.

    Aye the dollar signs are in Dana’s eyes. Miocic is great but he’s not much of a draw, people will pay to see Ngannou.
