    LOL no sh^t thats what Dana wants. The bigger question is what does Conor want & maybe most important how much does he wanna get paid for what he wants. Interestingly Conor said at the post-fight presser or a post-fight interview that he's a free agent now. Idk if he was just saying sh^t or if he's legit feeling like he is & can fight MMA or box or whatever now. Some have speculated that his boxing license voids his UFC contract & in general sports lawyers believe UFC contracts to be illegal as they have no end date for title holders. Thats a whole other thing doe, but I suspect there are out of the cage headlines in Conor & the UFC's future.

    Oh & where is that Zuffa Boxing, the UFC is gonna move into boxing guy at now lol? Although in fairness to him Conor did talk about some "hybrid" sport between MMA & Boxing that maybe his next move that could be random bs he was being super speculative about or it could be a real thing cuz I've suggested a BKB like sport with cage fighting with MMA gloves + boxing rules would be fun as f#ck to watch.
    lol its called kick boxing homie that is the hybrid

      Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou is the fight I wanna see if we are speculating on MMA guys vs boxers.

      In the ring or a gentlemens agreement to only punch in the cage. Francis did some boxing on his comeup too & is a huge f#cker.

        sounds boring to be honest i get the comparisons but at the same time comparing a mma fighter boxing to a boxing going into the octagon is so dam different.

          Nah man. I'm saying something like BKB.

          Lighter gloves. MMA rounds (3x5 or 5x5). Boxing rules. In the cage. No feet. No knees. No grappling. No takedowns. No chokes. You could have boxers vs boxers, boxers vs MMA guys or MMA guys vs MMA guys all day in there. Or throw in some kickboxers & muay thai guys too cuz kickboxers & muay thai guys have historically done well in boxing.

            I don't think McGregor has learned enough yet! I would love to see GGG vs. McGregor in Dublin or London! It won't be as big as Mayweather, but it would make some money because all McGregor has to say is "I learned a lot fighting Mayweather, I'll be much better next time," and watch the hype build up! GGG vs. McGregor! Make it happen!

              Big Fan of Francis he is a BEAST! I think he will beat the **** out of Stipe Miocic when they fight but I think UFC is trying to build up Stipe so they might be buying him time before throwing him in with Francis

                      Respect to Conor for not taking that easy route to minimize the L & hype himself. He truly went out there to win & while the deck was stacked against him he legit feels like he coulda won & feels f#cked up he lost.
                      Afraid I don't share your high opinion of McTapper.

                      I don't think he had any intention of trying to do anything but survive against Floyd while tapping him with enough of those ****** little baby girl "punches" to be able to cry robbery at the end. But his stamina is so crap that he couldn't even manage to do that for 12 rounds.
