Anderson Silva Wants To Fight Conor Mcgregor, Must Have Been Hit Harder Than We Thought

... the most consecutive successful title defenses (10). He’s got the most Knockout of the Night awards (7) and is tied for third in most fight night bonuses (13). His greatness is indisputable. But during all that winning, Silva must have been hit in the head harder than we thought, because he’s yet again talking about fighting UFC lightweight champion Conor Mc Gregor. Silva, in addition to his long career as a middleweight (185 pounds), has also fought as a light heavyweight (205 pounds). Mc Gregor holds the 155-pound lightweight belt and recently surrendered the 145-pound featherweight belt. Now, we know Mc Gregor’s an enormous draw and his opponents usually earn the biggest paydays of their careers when fighting him. But if Silva were ever to fight Mc Gregor (News flash: He won’t), what would be next, a bout against Ronda Rousey. This is sheer lunacy, but it’s not the first time he’s brought it up. A couple of weeks after Mc Gregor was submitted by Nate Diaz in a welterweight bout at UFC 196, Silva told Brazlian outlet Combate that he wanted to fight Mc Gregor. Remember, Mc Gregor said after his two fights with Diaz, who has been a lightweight for most of his career, “I even ...

Dana White, the UFC — let’s make it happen. Bring him over to the boxing world, and I’ll show him what it’s like.”.

Like Conor Mcgregor, Holly Holm Also Wants To Hold Two Ufc Titles At Once

... accomplished the feat last year by holding both the men’s featherweight and lightweight straps simultaneously. The latest fighter to aim for that goal is former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm, who currently holds zero titles, but plans on picking up the newly created women’s featherweight title next month when she faces Germaine de Randamie at UFC 209. “I want both belts,” Holm said in a phone interview on Friday. “Not just because it would make history. That’s awesome, but because I had that [bantamweight] belt and I let it go. I want it back.”. Holm famously beat Ronda Rousey, who was undefeated at the time, for the bantamweight championship in November 2015.

Conor Mcgregor Was Offered The Lead Role In The Predator

Khabib Nurmagomedov Has Interesting Plans For Conor Mcgregor In 2017

... Nurmagomedov has described, an immediate rematch against the sport's biggest star would be an incredibly lucrative offer. But Nurmagomedov, who famously argued with UFC president Dana White about Mc Gregor in the middle of his last fight in November, said his goals are winning the UFC title and fighting the best. Money does not dictate his career. " Nate Diaz is ranked No. 10? All top-level lightweight fighters beat him and [Mc Gregor] lost to him one time and their second fight was very close," Nurmagomedov said. "After that, he beat Eddie Alvarez , who has a 3-2 record in the UFC? He's never had a fight with the top-level lightweights. This is my opinion. "I came to the UFC to fight with top-level fighters and become the undisputed, undefeated champion. This is my goal. A lot of people fight with [Mc Gregor] because of money. I can give him money if he needs money.". As is the case each year, Nurmagomedov will miss time during the Muslim observation of ...

Why A Potential Floyd Mayweather Bout Would Likely Be Conor Mcgregor's Last Fight

... champion Ronda Rousey. He made far more than that for the win over Alvarez when his pay-per-view cut and other revenue streams are included. It’s more likely he surpassed $10 million when all is said and done, though the UFC doesn’t release that information. UFC president Dana White, who made Mc Gregor and Mayweather $25 million offers for the fight recently, has interest in the bout because it would be, well, big business. It’s a bout that could hit 3 million on pay-per-view, which would leave it as the second-highest selling match ever.

Julianna Pena ‘didn’t Want To Share Spotlight With Conor Mcgregor’, Turned Down Ufc 205

... Ronda Rousey didn’t come back,” Pena said. “I was ready for a title shot. But then Ronda came back from her long-ass vacation and they give it to her and I wasn’t happy about that.”. At that point, it became about which fights made sense for Pena in the absence of a title shot and on which card. And the way Pena saw it, if she wasn’t going to get the meeting with Rousey, then she at least felt her next fight should be the center of attention. And that wasn’t likely to happen at UFC 205, which had three title fights and was headlined by then-featherweight champion Conor Mc Gregor’s attempt to win the lightweight title from Eddie Alvarez. “I didn’t want to share the spotlight with Conor Mc Gregor,” Pena said. “I’m realistic, I know that Conor is going to be the biggest thing that came out of UFC 205, for good reason.
