I love Frankie but Conor would knock him dead. I can't think of anyone at 145 or 155 who poses a threat to him. People say Aldo would do better in a rematch but I seriously doubt it, Conor is his boogeyman and when he's back in the ring with him it's back to nervous wreck mode and TKO within two rounds.

It would have to be a catchweight or 170lbd fight. I think Nate is taller but Nick carries more weight.

Always, huh?
He's getting stripped of one tonight, unless Dana White just changed it up on the spot. I'd bet it's the 145 belt. It's a terrible cut for him and he just annihilated the lightweight champ with ease.

To be fair Mendes is an elite wrestler and Conor was injured for that fight. It was also a while ago so Conor has improved a lot since then
What are you smoking? Even a mediocre professional boxer would toy with McGregor, let's not even talk about Mayweather. Maybe you meant to say in the history of MMA?

They won't strip him of the belt having a two weight champion makes the ufc more interesting

Fuck Khabib. Let him sit, wait, and get injured while training again. Conor needs to call out Nate at 155 and finish the trilogy. Better yet, let Khabib fight Ferguson.

Link to presser anyone?

Khabib/Fergurson makes a ton of sense as an eliminator, especially if Conor is going to take some time off to have a baby.
Conor didn't train for a world class wrestler for that fight. He was supposed to fight Aldo.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
stupid he would get stripped he earned it I mean let him leap frog if he wants, the more Conor fights the more $$$ Dana and the UFC make, he would be an idiot to strip him of one.
It's not like Dana's word has any value anyway.

Yup, always. Ever since he was brought screaming into this world.

Conor forfeits 145.
Then on the same card:
McGregor vs Diaz III for the 155 belt
Khabib vs Ferguson for No. 1 contender
It's easy. You can't leave the Diaz trilogy money on the table, especially with gold on the line.
Do it in Dublin at Croke Park in front of 90,000 people.

I'll give him his due when he actually puts a championship on the line.
Winning is one thing(obviously impressive), remaining champion in the UFC is altogether something else.

This makes sense.

It's not him. He's just too small. Conor's right about small guys with no reach having nothing for him at this point.

Frankie would get fucking destroyed.

You underestimate the egos of the guys at the top calling the shots.
Fuck the trilogy.
I want to see Conor fuck Khabib up and hand him his first loss. Nate doesn't deserve a title shot right now. It'll probably happen, but I don't want it to be Conor's first defense. That'd be dumb.

Both are essentially the same thing, though.

They'll never do it in Dublin. Can't inconvenience the poor Americans by making them stay up late.
It'd be like when they had it in Manchester at like 4am

Kinda seems unfair for the guys in that division dunnit? He should just give it up.
Wierd how he does one but not the other though...
Ferguson is in the mold of Nate Diaz but better in my opinion. He has an iron jaw, unlimited gas tank, would have the reach advantage, unorthodox style, lethal subs. He gets hit but keeps on coming.
If Khabib gets a hold of Conor he is taking him down. Conor won't be stuffing those attempts like he did with Eddie.

Conor could grab Frankie by the head with one hand and palm him like a basketball.

Tell that to Holly Holm, Miesha Tate and Eddie Alvarez among others.

The only threats to Conor in the UFC at his weights imo are Ferguson and Khabib. I favor McGregor in both those match ups, but those are dudes that at least have a shot at doing it

Still wondering wtf Alvarez was thinking.

Dana said if he wins 2 belts he will have to drop one. Lets see what happens.
Maybe from a business standpoint. However Nate does not deserve a title shot. He hasn't been an elite LW for a good while.
Ferguson needs 10 straight before he gets a shot? Khabib needs 9?

connor even found a guy to emulate eddie´s haircut in training. That´s dedication.
Damn, jumped back on the Conor boat with the quickness.
