UFC 223 Ferguson vs Nurmagomedov Pick'em Thread

McGregor has a contract forbidding him from taking boxing matches. So it kind of does.

 

Doesn't matter. He's a licensed boxer and under the Ali act no licensed boxer can be prevented by any promotion from fighting another licensed boxer. The boxer must be promoted by that promotion, but a promotion cannot prevent the fight. It's as plain as day. In federal law. You're just an idiot.

Fuck, the Max vs Khabib fight is also cancelled and if Al wins the fight is it is not guaranteed he will win the title. Either way this was a shitty week for MMA.

seen it mentioned that it is a title fight even with al weighing 155.2 -- something about the commission weighed al underwear afterwards or some crazy shit but it is a confirmed title fight

I read that it's only a title fight for Khabib because Al weighed in late for a Champions weight or something...Also, tonight was brutal , trying to weed through JLP and Arlen Bales to record people's picks....

JLP & Arlen - youre both wrong - Jon Jones is the greatest 155lber to grace the planet.

 

Also am I right in thinking the only fight thats changed is the main event?

yeah, technically, another one got scrapped when Al went to the main event.

Sorry big ken. I realized halfway through that you would have that problem, but I couldnt help myself. Here's a guy who reads a sherdog forum post and then the wikipedia page on the ali act and now thinks he knows better then three teams of very expensive lawyers (UFC, McGregor and Mayweather all had lawyers go over the issue).

... Conor went the route he did to avoid violating his MMA UFC contract ...

 

 

but that wouldn't have prevented him from boxing... and it still won't. He might violate some clauses or terms in his UFC MMA contract, but he could still box professionally and there's nothing the UFC could actually do to prevent it. But he still would be violating his MMA contract to do so, but I'm not sure how their lawsuit or legal procedure would work in that type of situation.

 

still, absolutely nothing truly preventing him from professional boxing. Which is why he has mentioned numerous times he might stick with boxing. Dana and company have no say in that. They can just go after him over their MMA contract but it won't prevent professional boxing fights. Idk how the legal battle would play out but I don't think they'd win.

 

 

idk if you were trolling him or just reiterating your point over and over to avoid admitting you were wrong about his UFC contract preventing him from ever taking boxing matches without their permission.

 

I imagine it would go something like this...

 

Conor books a fight.

 

UFC sues for breach of contract...

 

Conor's legal team enacts the Ali Act and pretty sure the UFC's 'exclusive rights to promote' contractual obligations would get overruled in federal court.

 

and Conor would burn the bridge with the UFC but would be boxing professionally.
