    These two fights are the only fights I'm interested in seeing the little leprechaun fight. I could see Khabib throwing him around like a ragdoll and if Nate had a better gameplan, i could see him doing the same. How he has had two titles in two divisions is mind blowing. Who is he noshing off to get these title shots?

    Honestly Conor would have a hard time with quite a few 155 lbers not just Khabib and many of them are superior than Nate Diaz.

    Realistically if Conor does not fight the winner of Khabib-Ferguson who are on 8 and 9 fight win runs in the ufc at 155 lbs then that would be a complete joke and a duck. Even someone like Barboza as an example would really test McGregor imo. These are all fights where Conor would be fighting guys who are not smaller than him.

    If Conor does the right thing as a champion and defends against top contenders then he won't stay champion for a long run simply because the division is just too tough.

    The ufc had better NOT set up a Conor-Nate 3 fight because Nate Diaz is just NOT a top level contender for the belt. It will make the true fans of the ufc think that they are going the boxing route with multiple titles per weight class and casual fans not really knowing who the best are. The ufc champion should be fighting the number 1 contender at all times not the number 6 or 7 because they have a better sytle matchup for him or because it might sell better for casuals.

    Rant over. Thoughts ?

    I actually agree with you. I've been an MMA fan for a long time - McGregor was knocking out featherweights because he is simply not a featherweight. His kidneys must've been killing him every time he made 145. He's closer to being a 170 than 145 contender. Thats why he had so much power. At lightweight he should get run over by most contenders. Nate is in the top five of lightweights though. He outclassed Johnson on the feet and Johnson has some ridiculous striking speed.

    Diaz is the easier fight and the larger payday. I mean, I'd bet the house Diaz doesn't make the bell in the 1st at 155.
    Khabib is a dangerous fight. After he absolutely destroys fergusson mcgregor taking the easy payday.

    Mcgregor goes through Barboza like paper. Fergusson might make the 2nd at best. Diaz like paper at 155.

    Yea coz McGregor ran through Diaz in the last two fights didnt he? Diaz fights his better fights at 155. He's too big at 170, personally i think he loses his speed and some of his cardio. Can people get off McRunner's dick pls

    I thought I had heard somewhere that the UFC was trying to make Mc G vs Nick Diaz? Is that true?

    Dont think Diaz could go down to Lightweight - he fights WW or MW. Unless McGregor wants to go to WW.

    Absolutely ridiculous post.

    McGregor may beat those guys we shall wait and see BUT they are all very tough matchups for him.

    Yeah that was what the rumors were, that Mc G was going to fight Nick at 170, or was being talked about it.

    Dont think Conor wants to go back to 170. He would find it hard to ko people and would be very likely of getting ko'd at that weight

    F.U.C. cuck machine makes Khabib fight Ferguson; the two top guys at the weight by far while their privileged Irish chicken gets to sit around counting his gold while playing boxer.

    Watch two real fighters; Khabib vs Ferguson on March 4th.

    Chief support to the Tyron "race card" Woodley and Stephen "wonder girl" Thompson rematch.

    CM V Diaz 3 is a bit of a joke at 155lbs, Conor will walk through him this time.

    But i guess it's all about the money for CM and UFC new owners now

    When did he ever "walk through him" before? What a load of bollocks.
