lol @ Dana Lite in the background.
That's what I deduced. But that's a terrible match-up, IMO. He'd get murdered. From Trujillo to Cowboy? lol That's much worse than Jury going from guys like Diego, Gomi, and Johnson to Cowboy; and we saw what happened there. That win would do nothing for me as far as legitimizing Cowboy as a title challenger. He needs to avenge a loss or beat an established UFC elite finally. Ferguson would be more of the same or worse.
Please let this be true. Sick fight
Also I'm officially fan of Cerrone, just love his attitude about fighting and not giving too much crap about legacy and that kind of shit. Just fight
The negotiation right now is for Ferguson. But Fergs is ranked much lower than Cerrone. So the only reason it's an option is because Cerrone wants to fight so fast and Fergs is ready.
Masvidal is the only other guy I can think of and I don't feel he'd jump in as fast as Cerrone would want.
basherofbrains said:Cowboy doesn't need legitimizing at this point. If the champ was anyone other than Pettis, he could sit and wait for a shot if he wanted. Khabib is out too long and Dos Anjos is booked. There really isn't anybody ready to fight on Cerrone's schedule.
Once again, it is not. It's a joke unless literally everything else fell through an both sides agreed to it (99% wont happen).
Ferguson's people are in talks with Cerrone right now. While TG is way down the list regarding rankings, he's a quality fighter and is ready to go right now.
Tell them to suggest Thomson. If he's not injured, I think he'd jump at the chance because if he wins it could get him back on the track for a title shot, and I think it makes sense for Cerrone because it legitimizes him by beating an already established contender as well as a guy who beat somebody he lost to (Diaz). Speaking of which....
Tony Ferguson? Well that would be a fun fight too.
I'd still like to see a Nate rematch.
Diaz?
Why would you expect it to go much differently than how Anjos handled him?
