    Just watching the earlier fights.....* me, Khabib is definitely back! Calling out Mcgregor like he was the Champion, before Mcgregor had even fought.....surely that alone must have got inside Alvarez's head if he was watching in his dressing room?

    Anyway, although he got clipped in the first, i did notice how high he kept his right in defence of the southpaw.....he will need that against CM.

    My own feelings are that he will beat Ferguson if forced into an eliminator, and if CM is still around, matchup with him for the title. I dont see Ferguson beating CM, which i wouldnt have said yesterday, but CMs performance this morning was the final realisation for me as to how good he is. I cant deny it in any way.

    Hopefully the Khabib Mcgregor fight happens.

    Would be great to see McGregor Khabib fight. Two different styles, Conor would want to be on his feet and Khabib would went to deck him which he seems very good at doing.

    It's the 30th December that Ronda makes her comeback against Nunes. I don't know who else is on the card.

    Big game the next day too.

    More like a tribute considering everything he does is basically stolen from pro wrestling.

    His whole personality on camera is completely ripped from pro wrestling, there's a reason he struts around like Vince McMahon.

    True

    Muhammad Ali would never have been half the showman he was without watching WWE.

    Yer point being? considering he openly admitted that his personality was completely down to watching gorgeous george (a pro wrestler) and other wrestlers.

    Nah, Kenny Omega is right. Ali did draw from Gorgeous George, and McGregor has said he used to watch WWE. He definitely draws heavily on Ric Flair of the 80's with the emphasis on being rich and well-dressed. Obviously he has put his own personality into it, but that is what it means be inspired by someone else.
