Picking the winner of that fight was too easy. Cerrone is talented and can beat a lot of people, but I don't consider him to have really ever been champion material in the UFC or back in the good ole days of WEC. McGregor just has FEROCIOUS punching power delivered with incredible accuracy. It was always gonna be too much for Cerrone to handle. What's kept ex-WEC guys like Cerrone and Pettis winning (but still losing a few) has been the fact that they've stayed busy and acclimated to fighting. Guys like Benson Henderson and Urijah Faber lost so much once they got to the UFC because they fought far less frequently.
I don't give a damn who McGregor fights next honestly. Just as long as he fights ANYONE, and soon. If he's gonna be a fighter... again... he needs to keep his shit together, stay out of handcuffs and courtrooms, and show up to fight people more often than once every 2 years.
Another Khabib fight? Fuck that. Khabib would win. All those Dagastani muslim fighters fight so fucking boring. Although they aren't as bad as most of the female fighters, who most of them are clearly throwing punches and kicks only intending to score points rather than HURT their opponent and beat them. Like that fight between that lanky Columbian chick and JJ Aldridge or whatever her name was. That Columbian girl was throwing the most lazy little pussified leg kicks and body kicks I've ever seen. I could've taken those kicks. MOST PEOPLE (who aren't elderly or minors) could've easily taken those kicks. If you're a pro-level fighter and you're gonna kick someone, then it's something you've practiced 1 million times. Throw it like you mean it.
And that's kinda why I actually PREFER to download the shit and watch it afterwards. For starters, it's free, which is all it's worth most of the time in my opinion. I don't wanna pay for a PPV or even a $10/month subscription to Fight Pass when the PPV's tend to be more boring than the Fight Nights they do on FoxSports or ESPN. Number two, I can fastforward through the women's fights, which most of them tend to be snooze-inducing and end with judges decisions. I'd rather watch 15 hours of Jim Carrey doing Jerry Lewis impressions than watch one more instance of 15 minutes of another boring-as-fuck Holly Holm fight.
