Justin destroyed Tony Ferguson.

Dustin's biggest win is a previous incarnation of JG. JG would surely be favored in a rematch.



Dustins has a lot of good wins. Max for example. Tony has been destroyed in 10 Rounds straight. Maybe time we re access Justin’s win over Tony.

I dunno dustins been massively underrated forever and I dunno about Justin. Maybe he’s not what we thought. We’ll find out soon In his next fight, but he looked really bad against khabib ( I know goat).

And like you said Dustin beat him. A rematch would be great

Stop the fight, man. Stop the fight. Is Herb Dean getting a kickback from CTE researchers?

Yea, IDK about this. Poirier's best win being JG is probably better than JG's best win given how bad Tony has looked.

Since Poirier TKO JG, JG beat James Vick, and old versions of Barboza/Cerrone/Ferguson, then was obviously steamrolled by Khabib.

Poirier has bigger wins than JG on his resume anyway tbh. Eddie Alvarez and Max Holloway???

JG is a lot like Conor in that he's an offensive savant but has some exploitable holes in his game. Either guy can make an elite fighter look bad, but both are defeatable. Dustin's striking maybe isn't as flashy but he's got better defense/less ways to be beaten and better durability than either Conor or JG. Which doesn't necessarily matter at that level.

Those three could fight in a round robin tournament over and over and probably all be close to .500 but I don't think any of them can beat Khabib outside of pure luck. It may be the least sexy matchup out there but Oliveira is prob the best current matchup for Khabib in the division right now but I doubt that fight gets made. Khabib is right, there really isn't anything for him to prove at this point.

So if Conor wins decisively this week Khabib either has to fight him or start listening to Conors mouth all over again (amplified by press, fans, Dana) which I'm sure is he last thing he wants to deal with. If DP wins Khabib steps off and there is a lot of action to determine the heir to the belt. But somewhere down the line when it makes sense, Khabib will come back and fight for it.

Yeah f*ck that ****/noise. I'm working(from home) but I am not even going to bother nor watch.

I caught a replay of the Holloway fight. I am hoping McGregor vs Poirier will be prime time Eastern.................
EDIT: It is primetime/PPV. Good.

Enjoying a card in a reasonable time for a European. UFC on a wednesday right after work at home, makes lockdown a bit more manageable.

Volkov looked like ass. Can you imagine what Stipe would have done during those Overeem cover ups against the fence?
