This all is so strange to.
Maybe Connor was juicing in order to speed up/help the bulking process, and needed the extra time to get it out of his system? I have no clue, it's all speculation, but this has been a series of weird events. Im really unsure what happened with Connor.

If you want to go conspiracy theory, it's because they didn't want to waste Conor on 200 when they had Brock lined up.

Wait, this is going to be at 170 and not 155? Where did you see that?

What reason would you have to believe it changed from the originally slated 170 to 155?

McGregor has been adamant the whole time that he wants the fight at 170 again.

Looks like Punk's fighting on this card.

Micky Gall is -300, but that seems like a good play, assuming Punk makes it.

Looks like they really want that GSP superfight.

No other reason for him to give up his belt and continue getting his cage rocked at 170.

I only watched like a minute of that exchange but Conor looks shook to me. Seriously, Nate is gonna Nate, but you are picking up full monster cans and chucking them across a room? Also, he hit some kid LOL.

I texted a training partner of mine today that Conor will win this one, saw him tonight at the gym and told him I take it all back lol.

Man, I really, really hope Glover can win this. I feel like Cormier/Glover is just about the last great LHW fight that can be made at this point in time.

Better than Cormier / Rumble II, for sure.

Right, yea my statement was discounting rematches and also assuming that Bones suspension stands because obviously Bones/Rumble would be another candidate.
