Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira could be one of the greatest fights ever if Adesanya is aggressive

Israel Adesanya... has never lost at 185 pounds, but as a kickboxer he lost twice to this man [Alex Pereira] and once was knocked out rather violently. ... If he approaches this with a more aggressive tenor, this could be one of the greatest fights of all time.

Mac Jones is definitively not the guy to lead the Patriots long-term

I would put a tattoo bet on it right now that [Mac Jones] is not gonna realize anything resembling long-term NFL success. ... everybody locally in Boston understands that he has a C arm at best. Like he's a good leader of men... but that only goes so far.

Lamar Jackson is better than Michael Vick

I don't need Michael Vick to tell me that this dude [Lamar Jackson] is gonna be better than Michael Vick. And was there no room for improvement for Lamar once he got to the league? Like how did so many teams fucking miss on that?

Patty Pimblett must change his lifestyle to reach the top 10

I think the question for me is, is he [Patty Pimblett] gonna adopt the championship lifestyle 24/7/365 that will allow him... you can't eat after. ... it's not sustainable. ... eventually to realize top 10 type success in what is our toughest, deepest division, he's gonna have to make some lifestyle changes.

The betting line for Molly McCann vs. Erin Blanchfield is out of whack

I will though just say that the Molly McCann price to me seems out of whack. Erin Blanchfield's a great grappler but minus 400 given what Molly has done of late, that surprises me.

Nate Diaz is the cleanest athlete on the UFC roster

It's also probably the cleanest Athlete on the roster right a guy who immediately screamed innocence from the rooftops, which you would want any got to do. I always wonder why more guys if they do get flagged don't immediately do what Nate Diaz did... because then people really feel like you're innocent in this case obviously he was.

Conor McGregor will return on January 18th against Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone

I think it's going to be January 18th our first pay-per-view of 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. I mean he has hinted at that date other Fighters have hinted that he has contracts in hand. So I'm hopeful for January... I think Cerrone he's probably got the inside track.

Tony Ferguson must be the next undisputed UFC lightweight title contender

Tony Ferguson is absolutely impossible to deny right now. 11 straight wins at 155 pounds. His next fight has to be for the undisputed UFC lightweight championship, and I can't say that any louder.

The Mayweather-McGregor fight is a lifeline for the sport of boxing

I think boxing, in some respect, should be thankful to Conor McGregor because boxing hasn't been the biggest story in sports, certainly since Mayweather Pacquiao. ... So I think in some respects, this is a lifeline for boxing.

Jon Jones' drug test failure for steroids is likely indefensible if he remains silent

If you have any sort of defense ... when guys pop ... especially for an anabolic steroid that allegedly is ingested orally ... you're screaming from the rooftops, telling everybody you're innocent. ... instead of trying to provide answers or some sort of statement, we're not hearing much from Jon Jones.

Floyd Mayweather will beat Conor McGregor by decision

I see some betting value on Floyd Mayweather at plus 230 by decision ... I feel pretty convicted that Floyd's not going to knock Conor McGregor out.

Donald Cerrone is a strong betting value against Kelvin Gastelum

I got to say I see value on the Cerrone side. He's been unstoppable as a welterweight... To me, a guy like Donald Cerrone, who you know brings it the way he does in that minus 155 range... would be appetizing to some bettors.

Joanna Jędrzejczyk is the baddest woman on the planet

But, dude, [Jędrzejczyk], this champion, just Joanna for short. Dude, she's the baddest woman on the planet. I think she stands to gain the most from being on a pay-per-view led by Conor McGregor.

Tyron Woodley is a live underdog against Stephen Thompson

Tyron Woodley can do it all, and he's going to have to wrestle... he does have the bigger power shot. So to me, plus 166, plus 170... I think there's a little value there... don't sleep on Tyron Woodley. I think he's a live dog.

Conor McGregor has a great chance to knock out Eddie Alvarez in the first round

I think there's a great chance Conor McGregor gets [Eddie Alvarez] out of there in the first round, to be honest with you. Connor's that specialist striker... Connor's left hand is no joke man and i don't know i think he lands and he finds it

Larry the Goldfish has a great chance to cash in the Westgate SuperContest

I'm rooting for him, man. 26-18-1. I think he's going to cash. I think he has a great chance to cash, which is just unbelievable.

UFC 202 will break the all-time pay-per-view record and hit 1.6-1.7 million buys

I had already said and gone on record as thinking that this is going to break the pay-per-view record because it has the biggest name in the sport, Conor McGregor... I think it's interesting with not a ton of star power to see if he can break the record and do 1.6, 1.7 million pay-per-view buys with Nate Diaz largely on their own.

Conor McGregor will win the rematch against Nate Diaz on points

I think Conor is going to fight a more disciplined fight. I think he might have to win on points. But again, I got to be on that side.

UFC 200 will still do over one million pay-per-view buys even without Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier

Dana, dude, he's like so immune to this that he doesn't really even get upset anymore. And thankfully, this fight card, even without Cormier and Jones, is as good a main card on pay-per-view as we've ever put together. So I still think you're north of a million pay-per-view buys.

Mark Hunt will beat Brock Lesnar at UFC 200

Brock hasn't fought mixed martial arts since 2011. So I see some value on Mark Hunt. Strong lean for me towards Mark Hunt. I think you always fade a guy who hasn't competed in five years. Even an athlete as exceptional as Brock Lesnar, he's going to have to prove to me that he's back in this space and ready to win against a guy who is in the top ten.

Conor McGregor has no chance against Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match

Conor would have to step away from mixed martial arts and focus exclusively on boxing for like two years to have any sort of chance against Floyd Mayweather. I don't like Conor in that fight at all. ... I don't give Conor much of a chance.
