Can Conor McGregor beat Jose Aldo?
Chad Mendez got to beat Ricardo Lamas first which he probably will.No... No he cannot. Aldo's striking is on another level. His leg kicks put Uriah Faber on bed rest for weeks after their fight and he is a legitimate blackbelt in BJJ. McGregor has been submitted twice by lesser opponents.
Personally I think Chad Mendez would destroy McGregor
Edgars a punching bag with a huge heart, that would be a good tilt, but no way Frankies crushin him. Hes had alot of concussions ( Maynard) and I dont think hes the fighter he was year and half ago.I hate him but I think he may beat Aldo, good thing is Edgar will crush him, no questions about it
not sure if you watch the ufc dude but 2014/2015 frankie is by FAR the best edgar. You should go watch the edgar/swanson fightEdgars a punching bag with a huge heart, that would be a good tilt, but no way Frankies crushin him.

By this logic, Aldo is the only legit fighter at FW. You don't have to be a champion to be legit.He wont be truly legit till he beats Aldo,, its gunna be interesting fer sure.
Hes had a rather easy road to a title shot wouldnt you say.By this logic, Aldo is the only legit fighter at FW. You don't have to be a champion to be legit.
You can't compare depth between FW and WW. As a whole, FW hasn't been very prominent in the US for nearly as long as WW. When you look at Rory's wins, the only really impressive victories are against Woodley and Tarec. I thought the stoppage against Condit was BS and that would've completely changed the WW picture had Rory been able to survive 15 more seconds. Conor is actually on a longer winning streak than Rory of 5 and 3, respectively.Hes had a rather easy road to a title shot wouldnt you say. Compare mc gregors run to rory mc donald, he had to go 9-0 in his current run fighting absolute killers. Its a bit of a joke
So, how does he not face Lamas, Mendes, Edgar, Swanson, Bermudez but has a title shot.You can't compare depth between FW and WW.

Ranking have never meant anything. Cub and Dennis just lost recently. They not only lost but were finished and soundly defeated. You need fresh contenders and throwing him to Lamas, Mendes, or Frankie jeopardizes that. Plus, it's an entertainment business. Bitch all you want about how he got the shot, but you'll be watching.So, how does he not face Lamas, Mendes, Edgar, Swanson, Bermudez but has a title shot. He hasnt fought a single top 5, only one top 10, but has a title shot, its embarrasing and proves rankings mean nothing
What u mean dont know if I watch UFC? Maybe not as much as you Josh, I just watched the some of the Cub fight and yes, Frankie can still bang. I stand corrected. I agree with the wrestler comment as well. Cant bet ya cuz I live to far away.not sure if you watch the ufc dude but 2014/2015 frankie is by FAR the best edgar. You should go watch the edgar/swanson fight
I will happily give you 3/1 odds on any amount of $$ that frankie crushes mc gregor
There is a reason the UFC cash cow hasn't fought a wrestler in his entire career
I just think Edgar will overwhelm mc GregorWhat u mean dont know if I watch UFC? Maybe not as much as you Josh, I just watched the some of the Cub fight and yes, Frankie can still bang. I stand corrected. I agree with the wrestler comment as well. Cant bet ya cuz I live to far away.
Im glad Mir pounded Bigfoot.I just think Edgar will overwhelm mc Gregor
Mc Gregor is legit, I'm probably picking him over aldo , I just don't think he should of got to aldo in the first place , that's all.
2015 is an awesome year of mma!
How well did the first Aldo/Edgar fight do on PPV?He got given the shot over Edgar, when edgar defeated swanson, ill say no more. Ofc ill be watching, praying he gets taught a lesson, but regardless, this or next fight itll happen I personally think Edgar > Aldo in the first fight, thought it was a poor decision
Why don't you just watch LHW/MW/WW As you're clearly about the ppv draws bro.How well did the first Aldo/Edgar fight do on PPV?
I'm pretty sure Rodja used to fight... Just throwing that out thereWhy don't you just watch LHW/MW/WW As you're clearly about the ppv draws bro. Came you name an organization apart from UFC? Why do they even call it mma , they should call it UFC right?

Bingo.I'm pretty sure Rodja used to fight... Just throwing that out there
I'll have you know I'm one of the most "notorious" keyboard warriors aroundBingo.
You look to be about a featherweight.I'll have you know I'm one of the most "notorious" keyboard warriors around
Face of an angelYou look to be about a featherweight.

I was only joking manThink you missed the point , it's not him that is worried about the ppv draws. You got to pay the bills, guy like McGregor draws, it benefits everybody , Edgar, Aldo, Dana, zuffa.
Not true completely ; bigger guys get draws for being bigger, as fans like to see brawls and blood. Lighter weights are much more technical and the average fan cries every time to fight goes to the Matt.This is why new MMA fans get on my damn nerves especially ones that have never laced up a pair of 16oz gloves much less a 4oz glove. So little background into the sport and the business side of the sport. Size has little to do with the ability to draw when it comes to combat sports. It has to do with dominance and marketability. BJ was a huge draw because he was dominating LW like never before and had the charisma to draw in the fans.
You should check the numbers. Cain doesn't draw worth a damn. The only time he's been the headliner with decent PPV numbers was when he fought Lesnar, who was and will likely always be the biggest draw ever in MMA. Cruz doesn't finish and that's why he wasn't a draw; he's finished only one of his fights under the Zuffa umbrella and that was his latest fight against Mizugaki (Bowles didn't answer the bell due to a broken hand). Seriously, the data is easy to find and you should check it before posting.Not true completely ; bigger guys get draws for being bigger, as fans like to see brawls and blood. Lighter weights are much more technical and the average fan cries every time to fight goes to the Matt. Cain is one of the most AWFUL champions ever. Does no publicity , has no personality and yet still gets ppv draws. Then you get someone Dominick cruz who is easily one of the best fighters on the planet, and gets minimal draw despite having a decent personality ; talks trash etc Average fans want to see big knockouts , nothing more, and that's why they are more likely to tune into heavier weights
He doesn't get ppv because he doesn't finish yet gsp is one of the highest ppv draws . Derp.You should check the numbers. Cain doesn't draw worth a damn.

Because GSP has never finished a title fight, right? How many PPVs has Cruz headlined again? Oh yeah....one and that was against Urijah, who is still box office despite losing every title fight since 2008. Even that card had other huge draws like Wanderlei and Tito. Let's not forget you're the one that acted like the elitist on MMA knowledge. I've been following the sport for more than a decade. ****, Dana still had hair when I started watching.He doesn't get ppv because he doesn't finish yet gsp is one of the highest ppv draws . Derp. I've been an mma fan since pride , plz refrain from tying me in with cretins that have no clue re mma & take your condescending attitude with you ; it isn't becoming

Couldn't agree more. They need to focus less on the theatrics and more on quality fights.Sooo sick of the bull**** pre fight shenanigans. It's embarrassing.
