Yeah, I'll still take that bet. If McGregor can't beat Mendes, he probably couldn't beat Aldo either, right? This should be a good fight too

I'm glad aldo didn't fight injured. He has too much on the line. The belt. I think seven title defense... Best p4p fighter.. ten year winning streak. They couldn't scrap the fight.. and the third aldo Mendez fight should sell lots of ppvs and be fun to watch. There last fight was sick. A back and forth battle. Mendez held his own. I remember that huge upper cut he hit aldo with. Made aldo fly backwards and sit on his Ass. But aldo got right back up. Sick fight.

Who has he beat? This is the upcoming brother top of the food chain. He hasn't proven himself. Skipped everybody. Wtf

Yeah, and when he beats Mendes it'll be "well, he didn't have a full training camp..."
You people are half the reason I'm rooting for McGregor

You people? That's racist.
If he beats Mendez I will be shocked. I won't make any excuses. I just don't believe he's on the same level as these guys..I think Faber will beat him that's how little faith I have in mcgregors mediocre looking skills. He skipped everyone because he wouldn't have made it to the top without facing some monsters... i understand the ufc desperately needs someone , anyone to fight aldo so they found this dumbass and fed him to a shark. He's lucky jose got hurt.. well u guess not ,now he's fighting another shark. After he gets torn to pieces Ima come talk to you.

He demolished Brimage in the first round, stood toe to toe with Holloway with a torn ACL, still won, and ran through his next three opponents in under 8 minutes and his previous 8 fights before entering the UFC were all finishes. He has 12 finishes in his last 13 fights...
Have you ever seen his KO over Buchinger?
The dudes striking is on point as much as anyone in the division, including Aldo and he has a fuckin' 8" reach advantage over Mendes!
Mendes is getting TKO'd, guaranteed

We'll see...Mendez won't stand there and let him pick him apart.. Mendez is an aggressive wrestler. ...hopefully McGregor is that good aldo needs someone that can compete on his level.

Ive been watching mcgergor for over 5+ years and have said many years ago he is going to be the next big UFC star because of his marketability due to his mouth. The only reason he is in th position he is in is becase he make the UFC lots of $$$ due to trash talk. IMO Macgregor=OVERRATED.

A fighter that has finished 12 of 13 opponents and hasn't lost in 5 years is overrated?
Chael Sonnen was overrated

Macgregor=Sonnen 2.0 both are just loud mouths. If Macgregor had beaten a legit top 5 fighter at FW or even a top 10 fighter than he would look more legit. I think i Know more about macgregor than some casual ufc bandwagon fan if he beats money mendes he is deserving of a title shot.
here is a list of fighters ranked in the top 15 who would easily beat Macgregor at FW
Edgar
Mendes
Lamas
Swanson
Oliveria
Bermudez
Guida
Stephens

Poirier, Holloway?

both are just gatekeepers.
Hollowway is tough and can take a beaing but he is in no way skilled enough to be a legit contender.
Porier is good but he too is in no way a legit contender either sure he isnt even in FW division anymore because he couldnt make weight at 145.

Plain and simple Macgregor should of had to fight either one of Edgar/mendes/lamas/swanson and he would of been the true legit number 1 contender so now that he is fighting mendes I think that fight is a true #1 contender fight and will prove if macgregor is the real deal or not.

True number one contender fights are more rare in the UFC then Aldo facing opponents on the first go around.
Porier, Siver, Halloway were all supposed to beat Connor. I wasn't buying the hype until he started making guys look like complete shit. Anderson Silva did that too made guys look so bad that people discredited his opponents at the beginning of his career until he wrecked their favorite fighter then he was legit.
Mendes is a better fight then Aldo we'll see if Connor can top the take down if he can and beats Chad the Aldo fight is even better.... that's if Aldo comes back to fight. The UFC is making moves to get rid of him.
