Exactly. It's not like Aldo is a scrub champion either. Dude has been dominant for a while. He may not always finish his opponents but I can't think of any fight of his where he didn't win it completely other then MAYBE Mendes/Aldo II. Which was a close fight.

Either way I am stoked for this fight. Wouldn't be upset if Connor wins it but if I was a betting man I would go with aldo.

aldo edgar was razor close




i wouldnt be mad if connor won either, aside from the low quality of people his fans are, he's entertaining to watch

No they are not writing aldo off. He is winning this pole.



Yea man. This is the best time to be in the UFC yet. Being a champion is BIG money. bigger and bigger investors coming in. Much more cash from being a headliner and doing press tours. This will be a war.

Again I REALLY hope neither get injured.

I can't wait till the fight, I'll be in here posting "I told you."

I meant McGregor vs Swanson.

Ohhh.

I think it probably should have been Edgar mcgregor and winner gets a shot at jose... But Edgar is a tough match up for conor so obviously that didn't happen lol

Which is bullshit.

Edgar should've been fighting Aldo.

McrGregor vs any of the top 5. If he won, he could get winner of Aldo/Edgar.

He jumped a lot of people, which is downright disrespectful to anyone involved.


I'm not even saying McGregor is a bad fighter, obviously he's not. But he hasn't proved himself against any noteworthy opponents, and he got a fight against one of the most dominant and longlasting champions because of his mouth.

I'm not even mad at him, tbh, although I do dislike him. I think it's shit the way the UFC treats one of their champions in favor of some quick cash/hype.

As a promotion, you have to cash in when you can. I said before the UFC does a good job at building fighters and their records when they want too. Some people get thrown to the wolves, others are pampered. Someone like holloway will earn his way through his division like most, Mcgregor gets a title shot beating someone most people dont know who is [ sivir ]. Its the way the fight game works, gotta put people in the seats at the end of the day. Rematches get stale , especially when the champ has ran through every one.

Still, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Also, Edgar vs Aldo is more than 2 years ago.

Poirier was top 5.

Edgar or conor didn't deserve a title shot without facing each other...

Edgar beat Olivera, a washed up bj penn, and after last night what looks like a washed up cub Swanson... So he didn't necessarily best anyone impressive either.

Edgar vs mcgregor would have been best because there would have been a very very very clear #1 contender. But such is life.... This fight is going to sell like crazy and the ufc made the right business move.





I mean... Conor has absolutely destroyed everyone they've put in front of him.. He has to get credit for that. If he was getting decision after decision he wouldn't be where he is.. But he finishes everyone in rather devastating fashion, add in how he talks and you have a real superstar. He has 5 ufc fights and 8 total rounds for god sakes lol.
