Donald Cerrone expects ‘different’ Rafael dos Anjos with USADA testing
Conor also recently won a cover spot on EA Sports’ “UFC 2” game with Ronda Rousey.
Since McGregor dethroned Jose Aldo as the 145 lbs. kingpin in just 13 seconds at UFC 194 last Saturday, there have been a myriad of varying statements as to what the Dubliner will do next.
Other movers of note were strawweight Tecia (The Tiny Tornado) Torres (No. 4, up on), bantamweight Urijah (The California Kid) Faber (No. 3, up one), featherweight Max (Blessed) Holloway (No. 4, up one), lightweight Tony (El Cucuy) Ferguson (No. 5, up two) and welterweight Demian Maia (No. 5, up one). When both men faced off in the center of the octagon for pre-fight instructions, the electricity was powerful enough to generate the Las Vegas Strip & all of Ireland.
The title of “most money earned per second of fighting” could reward the highest-paid, but more often seems to be attained by those who simply knock out their opponents really, really quickly. You’re batshit insane if you think he’s gonna fight the same.
Time will tell if McGregor will endure a loss of his own. The left was set up perfectly with power and precision. Aldo isn’t just a dominant champion, he’s the dominant champion. By comparison, approximately 9,000 fans watched McGregor and Aldo get on the scale the following day’s for UFC 194. “They’re not even made [from] close to the same heart”.
What will Conor McGregor do as an encore? Edgar (20-4-1) headlined the middle card against three-time title contender Chad Mendes.
‘He became World Champion in such stunning style and was watched by many Irish people in the early hours of last Saturday morningm, ‘ she added. Henry asked. “Now, he has [had] two chances to fight Frankie”.
At the UFC’s “Go Big” news conference in September, which was created to feature all of the major bouts scheduled for the year’s final three months, McGregor took aim at Cerrone and dos Anjos, in addition to just about everyone else on the dais.
McGregor’s next fight could be at Dublin’s Croke Park with an 80,000 crowd. “The guy says he would fight Frankie if Frankie took care of business. Sometimes, I’m even like, ‘man, I’m anxious because I’m so damn calm.’ Once you’ve had that title and you’ve been the main event – I’d say after I had been in a main event my nerves started getting better and better”. According to Henry, while Mendes ultimately accepted the fight, he claimed he wasn’t in shape as he was shooting a hunting show, while Edgar claimed to be in-shape as he trains all year and is always in fighting shape.
