    Canelo vs Khan is a straight up joke. Conor is an undisputed champion 2 divisions down who moved up just for a one off challenge.

    Canelo is a middleweight champion who refuses to ever fight any middleweights and dragged a random guy up to fight for a belt neither of them will ever defend.

    I like boxing more but I watch UFC more often nowadays because boxing events are horrible. The only good ones are online streams from Russia basically.
    They don't disclose but I read this was the first time that a salary was reported to the commission as $1 mil. Maybe I'm saying the wrong thing. If so, my bad.

    He moved up for the WW belt but fought Diaz so he could get the payday because without fighting Diaz there would not have been a fight. I doubt Conor is gonna turn that money down.

      Going into this weekend UFC was full steam on track to surpass boxing (in my opinion) in terms of ratings and fan support of combat sports. After this weekend, it lost a lot of steam. I really enjoyed the UFC fights this weekend, especially because racist Conor and his racist bandwagon fanbase of trump supporters are now hiding under a table somewhere eating corn beef and potatoes. I have always been a Diaz brother supporter because I think it can all be agreed on that MMA is a GREAT sport WHEN THEY BOX!

        I was waaaay into MMA before I got heavy into boxing. I've fought three MMA fights and know people who corner on PPV UFC cards.

        That being said, UFC is losing steam after brutal losses by RR, HH, and Conor. It won't be the same for awhile. Sat night was a disaster for them from a business perspective and why you probably shouldn't ***** so much about boxing stars being "protected"..

          Man, i felt sorry for Gustafson in those fights. Great fights, both guys put everything into it, but he came out on the losing side both times.

          I love watching him fight, looking forward to his return.

            Go read sherdog boards sometime. All they do is complain about all the cancelled fights due to injuries, the weak cards, the overhyped cans.

              champion fights 1 ranked, 2 fights 3, 3 fights 4, and so on and so on.

              Love the system cause once you reach the top its tough fights for you. T/A for stars is fast but who cares they sell it on that the fighters will have good fights and tough matchups.

              Its a brand so the fans enjoy the sport and not bicker over fighters or networks.

                  Edgar Maynard are some of the greatest fights ever,, Edgar got his face smashed and made great comebacks.. Some of the most dramatic fights ever with a great ending when Edgar finally stopped him in the 3rd fight..
                  If you don't think those fights arent great, you're either a troll, or really don't know what you're watching..
                  But you wanna hype hagler/Hearns even though hearns is competitve for about 90 seconds...
                  Your bias is showing

                  Sonnen-silva is basically chavez-taylor of mma, except without the ref controversy...

                      Yeah the dude can't catch a break.. I really felt bad for him when rumble iced him in his hometown and he cried.. That was sad..

                      Would love to see him fight jones again, as he is the only one that can match jones' size and length
