Lol.. No he doesn't...

no one thought he was going to beat a wrestler, knocks him out. Knocked out the featherweight champ in 9 seconds.

Ppl wanted to see how'd he look against a wrestler...not that no 1 thought he couldn't win.

Ppl also thought his way of beating Aldo would be via KO, which it was

Now, we wanna see how he'll look against a wrestler with a full training camp and if he can KO/dominate a fighter his own size

see that's what I'm saying people always try discount what Conors done but the facts are facts and no one took him serious till he beat Mendes. Like right now it's oh he wont fight Frankie and people forget he's taking on a tougher challenge by fighting Dos Anjos. I'm not even trying to stick up for Conor like that. Honestly I'm still not a believer so I doubt him in every fight but he always pulls it off. That's what I meant. To be frank I think his fights are fixed but I'm not trying to argue about that.

Chad mendes whose career was already on shaky ground chose to dive? Aldo who has been the most outspoken of (any champion) about zuffas practices argeed to end his 10 year run in 13 seconds? Care to expand? Or is your rationale just that for the 1st time ever ufc are actually benefiting from the basket they put all their eggs in

Pretty much. It's too good to be true. His knock out of Poirer and Mendes looked sketchy to me. If they compensated Mendes and told him they'd take care of him I could see him going down. The way Herb Dean stopped the fight. Then Jose talking about retirement and how if he could make the money Ronda made he'd leave the sport leading up to the fight. Also being outspoken about Zuffa maybe he just wanted out. I'm a mma noob though so I really dont know shyt. (Watched first season of TUF then a few ppvs, stopped, then came got back into it in 2013). Just a conspiracy.

fair enough

 

[Medulla Oblongata]

Good interview, even though it's hard to understand what he's saying.

 

[pez]

I can't stand you conspiracy birds. A fight doesn't turn out as you expect and it's some illuminati shyt. I can imagine 1 fixed fight. But like 3 fights in a row fixed with one of them being the champ and huge star in his home country. You're hating so hard that now you're altering reality to fit your ideas.

This explains why Royce Gracie is fighting again:

IRS goes after Royce Gracie claiming tax underpayment, fraud totaling $1.15 million

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I guess cowboy doesn't care where he fights at even if it's 205

 

[Master Teacher]

I think RDA wins it but Conor always has a funny way of pulling off the impossible.

conor has to win the fight or his career is over

You can't go the Floyd Mayweather route of promotion and then lose

no he has even more pressure on himself

RDA stand up is better than any of the featherweights, but conor can still knock him out

if it gets on the ground it's over for mcgregor because RDA has BJJ that mendes doesn't have so he will be able to submit conor not just control him

 

[puppetmaster]

Rumors McGregor is demanding more money which is holding up the RDA negotiations/signing

RDA tends to leap forward chin first like Aldo did, not saying Conor would catch lightning like that again but it's something to keep an eye on


RDA's reformation has been crazy, I still have the image of Jeremy Stephens KO'ing him with the Tiger Uppercut when I think of him

rumors word? This nikka already negotiated for a "new" deal how is he demanding more money? When a new deal was already in place
