My opinion on the potential Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor boxing fight.
Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor has been talked up recently in the media with both fighters having spoken publicly about the potential fight. Mayweather has mentioned the possible large sums of money that both him and McGregor could earn from the fight. Mayweather is the greatest boxer of his generation and McGregor is a fighter who has made a lot of noise in recent years. The way McGregor destroyed a dominant champion like José Aldo is evidence of his skill as a mixed martial artist. Mayweather has suggested that the potential fight could be closer than many people expect, however I strongly disagree. I think that Mayweather would easily win a boxing fight if the two were to fight. McGregor was out boxed by Nate Diaz, so what chance does he have against Mayweather? Boxing and MMA are just two different sports. If the fight was to be an MMA fight then McGregor would win, however it is a boxing fight so he will not. Mayweather is not known for his knock out power so I think McGregor might be able to last the full twelve rounds. Mayweather would use his speed and movement to out box McGregor and would be able to land punches at will. Mayweather would win a comfortable points decision.
How do you think the potential boxing fight between and Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor would go?

7 reasons why Michael Bisping will defeat Luke Rockhold and become UFC Middleweight Champion!
At UFC 199 Luke Rockhold will attempt to defend his UFC Middleweight championship against Michael Bisping. UFC 199 takes place on the 4th June 2016 in Inglewood, California. This blog post will provide you with the 7 reasons why I think Michael Bisping will win.
1. Bisping's recent win over Anderson Silva. It feels like to me that this fight was a turning point in Bisping's career. The atmosphere that night in the O2 Arena in London was incredible and I believe Bisping will use that as motivation to go on and win. The way Bisping took all that punishment from Silva, and was still able to win shows great heart and determination.
2. Bisping's UFC experience is up there with the best. Bisping has competed in the UFC 25 times. Only Frank Mir, Tito Ortiz and Gleison Tibau have had more fights than Bisping. I believe Bisping will use this experience to get the win.
3. Bisping has the momentum going in to this fight and I believe he will carry on where he left off.
4. In my opinion Bisping was winning the first fight between himself and Rockhold, before he was finished. I believe Bisping is a much better fighter now than he was then and I am confident he will not make the same mistakes again.
5. Bisping is one of the best when it comes to mind games. Bisping has the ability to mentally beat Rockhold before they have even stepped in the octagon.
6. Bisping will be fighting in the state where he trains out of which is unusual for Bisping given he usually has to travel. It can not be underestimated how important this will be in terms of his preparation for the fight.
7. Bisping last fought in February, while Rockhold has not fought since December last year. Rockhold will have extra ring rust compared to Bisping and this could be key.
Who do you think is going to win?

New UFC Middleweight Rankings | 29/01/2016
The UFC has updated its ranking in the UFC Middleweight division.
1. Luke Rockhold
2. Chris Weidman
3. Jacare Souza
4. Vitor Belfort
5. Lyoto Machida
6. Tim Kennedy
7. Michael Bisping

10. Thales Leites
11. Uriah Hall
12. Derek Brunson

There are a few notable fights coming soon that will impact on the rankings.
Michael Bisping will be fighting Anderson Silva at UFC Fight Night London on 27th February 2016. As mentioned in previous posts I will be at the event. At the same event Gegard Mousasi will be fighting against Thales Leites. After losing his last fight, Gegard Mousasi will be looking to get back on track and move up the rankings.
Another fight in February in the middleweight division is Derek Brunson vs Roan Carneiro. The fight takes place at UFC Fight Night 83 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Finally, tomorrow night, 30th January 2016, sees Rafael Natal fight against Kevin Casey at UFC on Fox 18 from Newark, New Jersey. Be sure to check out my previous blog post where I give my prediction for this fight and the rest of the event.

What's next for the UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs Cruz winners and losers?
UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs Cruz took place last night on 17th January 2016 from Boston. Overall it was a successful event for the UFC with some exciting fights and big finishes. However there was some controversial decisions, mainly in the main event and co-main event. This blog post will look at who some of the fighters from the event should compete against next.
Dominic Cruz and T.J. Dillashaw:
In the main event Dominic Cruz defeated T.J. Dillashaw via decision (split). The obvious next fight is to have both fighters compete in a rematch for the UFC Bantamweight title. The decision was contriversial and these two fighters are arguable the best two fighters in the division so it only makes sense if they fight again.
Eddie Alvarez and Anthony Pettis:
I would do the same as the main event and have these two fight in a rematch. Its been confirmed that Conor McGregor will fight against Rafael Dos Anjos for the UFC lightweight title, so Eddie Alvarez won't be fighting for the title any time soon. The decision to award the victory to Alvarez was again controversial and the winner in a rematch could easily fight the winner of the lightweight title fight.
Travis Browne:
I think Travis Browne should fight against Alistair Overeem in a rematch. Overeem has won his last three fights and would want to revenge the loss he suffered early on in his career. Browne wants to put a run of victories together so he can move closer to a heavyweight title opportunity and he will be confident of defeating Overeem again.
Matt Mitrione:
I think Matt Mitrione should fight against Antonio Silva next. Both men desperately need a win. Mitrione has lost his last two fights while Silva has lost three out of five. The loser of this fight will be released from the UFC.
