Aldo vs McGregor
Lawler vs McDonald

Another huge PPV.

Would lawler and McDonald not be the main even now? I thought they always did champions in order or weight or something. No chance they would bump mcgregor though. Hmm.

Lawler/Rory is a much bigger fight IMO but the want to squeeze all the juice out of McGregor.

No it isn't. For North Americans it might be, but neither Lawler or McDonald are really huge names yet. McGregor has all Ireland and the UK plus all the plastic paddies worldwide, and Aldo has Brazil. Aldo is also a far more convincing champion and McGregor is far more fun to watch, plus he sells fights better than anyone except Sonnen.

McGregor didn't earn the shot though. MacDonald is the new GSP so he has Canada and Lawler is a huge fan favorite, specially with the old school crowd. I agree about McGregor being a huge draw but he should have faced Edgar/Mendes/Lamas/Swanson before getting the shot. He hasn't beaten anyone in the top five. I'm not saying he isn't legit, but they are gonna milk the hype while it's there while keepinf my him safe from all the other contenders.

That is why Lawler vs MacDonald is a more legit title fight IMO.

Aldo has already beaten all the guys you mentioned there. And no matter what the ufc says I very much doubt macdonald ever gets close to gsp numbers.

I like Lawler and I'd consider myself an old school fan in the sense I watched him fight first time around etc, but he's a good fighter, not a great one. I can't see him being champ any longer than 2016 if he's lucky.

I'll concede McGregor might win the title the drop it to a wrestler but I'd take that tbh because Aldo is the worst to watch.

Plus the only name MacDonald has beat that I give a shit about is BJ penn, and he was hardly in his prime for that fight. I don't rate any of the last three fighters he's beat. Seems Tyron Woodley is third in the rankings because Condit got a freak injury, was hardly a devastating kick.

TWood was beating the fuck out of Condit before that injury.

lol

Lawler kicked shit out of Rory like 18 months ago, shouldn't even have a title fight IMO

Much better than Hendricks again. Glad they are making Hendricks win his way back to draw out the rivalry. I hope Robbie ducks him up again.

Think I saw one of Tyson fury doing burpees in the sand that was the worst thing ever.

Also, as the most plastic paddy I know, how do you not love mcgregor?

I do love McGregor but not as much as I love Frankie Edgar and I feel Edgar is getting shafted for talk.

And def not as much as I love Robbie Lawler

He did it

Connor will win this in "DOMINATING" fashion

I agree with Clerk wholeheartedly

Jose will get slaughtered.

It would be great for the sport if Conor wins but I can't bet against Aldo

I can easily. Aldo can't finish a tea glass on burbon street. Connor will TKO him in the middle of the 2nd round.

Yr logic is silly. The reason he doesn't "finish" is the same reason GSP wasn't "finishing" late in his title run. He is fighting the best 145 pound fighters in the world for years . The elite of the elite. A look at Aldos record shows that he is more likely to finish than he is likely to be finished. Yr MMAth is flawed.

Same thing with Jon Jones. He elbows people and still can't knock them out. And a prime example is Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. He has fought the elite of the elite and is new to the division and he has knocked out Alexander Gustaffson and Antonio rogeiouro nogeriou sincogouerio. Alot of title changes are coming in 2015.

I think both McGregor and Rumble have the ability to win but betting against champions like Jones and Aldo is silly at this point.

Why do you say it's silly? Rumble beat a guy that gave Jones his toughest run yet. (In dominating fashion) And McGregor has beaten guys that gave Aldo a run for his money.

Jones wasn't training year round before the Gus fight and admittedly slept on Gus hard. Who are you referring to when you say McGregor has beaten guys that gave Aldo trouble? The only guys to give Aldo trouble were Edgar and Mendes and Conor hasn't fought either of them. Marcus Brimmage? Dustin Porier? Dennis Siver?

Who do you have Jones or Rumble. Belfort or Weidman. McGregor or Aldo.

Pulling for Rumble but if he can get the KO then Jones takes it. Pulling for McGregor but my no st is on Aldo. Weidman is gonna Fuck Vitor up :(

I'm afraid there will be 3 title changes.

Rumble will Knock Jones out.

McGregor will TKO Aldo.

Belfort will submit Weidman. Weidman isn't that good in my eyes. I mean what has he done? Beat Washed-Up Anderson Silva and Washed-Up Lyoto Machida?

smdh

??? what

Yr opinion of Weidman is laughable at best.
