that's just sick.
He would still be on top of Stu raining down punches, if nobody would have pulled him away.
 
“Me and Eric have a mixed relationship where it’s like, I’ll say this tactfully, if you’ve never fought or been in the gym, you don’t have an understanding,” Strickland said.

“Eric is a good coach, he’s a good striking coach but if you’ve never fought, you just don’t understand. I don’t really talk much, I don’t tell my problems to people so I think Eric felt a little upset that I was going into a title fight with a broken arm and he had no knowledge of it.”

“We haven’t announced anything yet. He’ll fight this summer. Let me just start there. He’ll fight this summer.”

Appreciate the information but I'm very skeptical about Max being the opponent. Conor is NEVER making 155 again. Even his nonsense talk about fighting for the title is at 185 these days. Max being the G he is would probably take the fight at any weight but neither UFC nor a commission should allow it.
