I don't mind getting the ball rolling here with a question.

"What should the UFC do with Abdul Razak Alhassan, in light of his recent news?"

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

This is a topic that is often discussed on the board. After next weekend huge UFC there could be another possible record breaking match-up. St Pierre. Who would you like to see him fight if he does bless us with one more go? Mcgregor - Khabib winner with the possibility of being the Champ-Champ-Champ... Woodley for the 170 belt that he never lost... or now with Anderson announcing that he will return in 2019, the Super-Fight 9 years in the making?

Hi Ant, good stuff so far.
Seeing that this is a prototypical stylistic matchuup of “Striker vs Grappler”, both guys being considered experts in their own game, Evidence has shown both to be dominate. Which style do you feel has the biggest advantage in the fight? In other words, who do you feel has been more successful in executing his game plan and will prevail on October 6.

What do you think of Tony's training style?
If you were his coach, would you advise him not to do it?

BTW, Tony bless.

 

[Jackonfire]

What are your thoughts on a 165lbs division?

 

[Fluffernutter]

After Tito vs. Chuck III, will Golden Boy finally give us the fight we have been waiting 25 years for: Royce Gracie vs. Art Jimmerson II?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Better WW champ, Woodley or Rory?

If they were to rematch today, who would you favor?

 

[bluesnoopz]

What do you think of Jones return? And possible jones vs dc 3? And your thoughts on peds and usada in general? Are they really cleaning up the sport?

This
A lot of things stink in this sport, but his quick return stinks of "whatever makes money will be ok'd"

Hi Ant. My favorite Sherdog threads are the Jonny Hendricks threads! They are an accurate and mature representation of Sherdog culture and it's positive encouragement of mma fighters.

So how soon do you see Fedor Emelianenko stopping Chael Sonnen:
1)30 seconds or less
2)the 1st minute
3) or a min, 30 seconds

?

 

[Fluffernutter]

When are we going to get GSP vs. Askren?

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Do you believe the promoter should make more money than anyone he promotes? Specifically, when Dana White mentioned he made 300 million during the anti trust lawsuit, how do you feel about that?

 

[UL]

do you think it's time for Dana White to go?

and who replaces him

 

[FinalConflict2005]

Ant will you indulge in Conor’s new whiskey named “Proper Twelve”?

 

[PurpleStorm]

Hi Ant. How do you think Ariane Lipski should fare in the UFC? I enjoyed her fights with KSW but it's a step up in competition.

 

[DLX]

If Tyron gets passed Colby and Usman, does he stay champion for as long as he decides to compete? If so, how many more wins would he need to surpass GSP as the WW GOAT?

 

[jojoRed]

Hey Ant,

Do you feel that becoming a double champ is a greater accomplishment that defending multiple times or vice versa?
