Calfoth  I'm pretty sure Conor is going to fight Chandler at the end of this year. Fighters need to be in the USADA pool for 6 months before they are able to fight. Last month Conor was still not re-enrolled (link below). Maybe it's a bit too far out, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they schedule that fight for MSG at the end of this year.

I don’t think he will fight a real guy until he’s 7-0. Even though he probably could

People need to be patient with Bo Nickal, Bo Nickal is only 4-0, Dude is green in MMA, You should try and build a prospect like him, not throw him into the wolves and ruin a good thing early, Also it wasn't like he look perfect against Jamie Pickett

In a year or two, He'll be great

Totally agree his trash talk was a bit much touched a nerve, he also was telling seasoned pros "this is how I do it"
I mean cmon kid you intentionally do **** wrong and you want people to not critique you good luck with that.

@ AyyLmaonnaise 

i agree.  Paddy was exposed his last fight and now you don't hear about him as much.  He did himself no favors but saying the last fight was not close.  I bet her regrets that.
