Yeah but being the guy who dethroned Anderson matters too.

I agree he should be crowned yet but...

Beating Anderson twice, destroying Machida, destroying Vitor, and beating Luke combined with being undefeated. Would be way more impressive to me then Andersons run of beating down guys like Demain Maia, Travis Lutter, Chris Leben.....
Theres alot of filler on Andersons resume, its not his fault but Weidman is on a pretty amazing run unless you're a hater.

With that said, I expect Luke to end it :heh:

Leben wasn't a title defense you cant count that unless you count Weidman's fights before he fought for the belt (Sakara, Bongfeldt etc. and don't forget he fought Maia too). Weidman's title defenses are all against guys much older than him and past their prime. That's not his fault, but you can't really deny that.

This is his first fight against an elite guy his age.

Michael page Vs Conor McGregor

page too big for him, but his striking on a whole nothing level he could fight in kickboxing at the world level like raymond daniels
they use to fight each other in the point fighting tournaments even though he's about 8 years old than page he still has done well in glory with little experience



thing about page the point fighting background gives me an advantage of having accurate precise strikes, which is why the sport is scored on, so he can hurt guys with a single shot

nah mcgregor too small, he gonna have problems with guys at 155 can't see him fighting at 170

He said he doesn't mind fighting 145-170. Small doesn't matter Conor is 5'9-5'10 and weighs around 170's anyway. Page is like 6'3 200 but drops to 170. Plus Conor is a southpaw that knows how to use that to his advantage.

i think the reach would be too much for conor to overcome

either way page needs to come to the ufc
