You really believe that? Why would he duck Ferg?
It's a fact, jack.Can you please explain why you, and others in this thread, post stuff like that? It makes it seem like you're bragging. But you're speaking about a different man...
You believe that? According to who? Khabib. That doesnt mean shit. We do know Khabib ducked Tony Twice this year. Once at 209 and once at 217 according to UFC. http://mmajunkie.com/2017/09/ufc-co...s-offered-fight-with-tony-ferguson-at-ufc-217Tony just ducked Khabib.
Where is the courage?
de Randamie actually did legitimately refuse to fight Cyborg. Conor on the other hand is agreeing to fight Ferguson if the UFC agrees to his demands.
There's a difference.
Conor has WME and Dana by the balls.

Not to mention interim don't fight contenders they fight champ.
Would you expected Conor to fight Frankie when Conor had interim belt? That makes no sense.
"UFC maintains that any champion is expected to accept fights against the top contenders in their respective weight classes in order to maintain the integrity of the sport.”
- UFC statement after stripping de Randamie of her title.
sounds like negotiation to me
Conor knows what he worth and he wont fight for anything less
not after the mayweather fight
The Tony fight will happen
I know.Tony is better than Nate.
Tony's striking is better and has better chin than Nate's.
Also keep in mind all the crazy Imanari rolls and entries are in play for Tony vs Conor. There's no threat on the ground from Conor, so all those tools can be used liberally if that fight happens. Which give Conor all sorts of other things to think about. Conor is brilliant at utilizing and manipulating distance but if Tony tries to get the fight to the ground he doesn't have to do it with traditional entries. That really is a wild card in terms of how Conor tries to control the distance in the fight. Because he'll obviously want to avoid the ground like the plague vs Tony, so he'll have a ton on his plate to deal with in how unpredictable Tony's entries can be. Tony doesn't close distance like other guys do, esp against someone where he won't have to worry about them trying to get top control on him.
If you get beyond your utter hatred for him you would realise how ridiculous that sounds.He fights for a living and he doesn’t want to fight someone because let me guess he’s scared?Right on.Obviously I believe that. And if you need me to explain why, then we have nothing to discuss
Conor will Panic wrestle like Barboza did vs Tony.I want to say that Tony is my favorite fighter in whole UFC. That being said, I think Conor is the worst possible match-up for Tony. Tony is durable, has insane cardio, he is unpredictable and wild striker with great submissions, but he has one weakness: he is very hittable, which is something Conor will exploit to the fullest. He has been rocked in many of his fights, he was in some serious trouble against very green Lando Vannata, whos striking is nowhere near Conors level. Best way to beat Conor is to just take him down and control him on the ground (Khabib style), but Tony is not known for his takedowns and Conor has improved his TDD a lot since the Mendes fight. I think Tony can only win this match-up if he somehow survives the first 2-3 rounds and relies on Conor completely gassing.
