Still, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.


Look at this DJ fight, Champ vs ranked #8 Contender. You need to act on this hype when you can especially in these lower weight divisions when you have a champ thats ran through everyone.

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.


Still more impressive than what McGregor has faced.

Also, I wouldn't necessarily say Swanson is washed up. Yes, he look pretty bad against Holloway, but Holloway was on fire. Barao looked terrible against Dillashaw, but I wouldn't call Barao washed up either. Sometimes you just get fucked up.

But yeah, I wouldn't have minded Edgar vs McGregor, but then you don't have a match up for Aldo.

I'd have been perfectly happy with Aldo vs Edgar and McGregor vs Mendez or Lamas if they still wanted to go 'easy' on him.

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.


The only person he fought with a chin stayed 3 rounds with him. Whether both were injured or not, he didn't put young holloway away.

Rofl you're right he's only finished 4 out of 5 people.

What a joke, he couldn't put halloway away with a torn ACL.



The real bottom line is, frankie had his title shot and he lost. Time for someone else to get a crack at it.

More than 2 years ago.


Whichever way you want to look at it. McGregor did not deserve a titleshot.

finishes don't always determine better quality wins


it's more important WHO he was fighting,

if there's no standards set on the level of opponent, he could just continue padding her career like fedor and just pretend he's the best


connor managed to avoid every tought fight on the way up, he doesnt deserve the title shot

his cardio is fine, its rare to see 145ers with bad cardio,

i'm more curious how he deals with aldo's harsh starts
