I low key think Connor scared of Aldo. He got lucky with that one shot and now he know Jose would put the beats on him the 2nd bout

I still think Conor sleeps Aldo again. Aldo's punches are still too wide, that shyt will work on everyone else in the division but Conor's boxing(for an MMA fighter) and straight counters are too good for Aldo to throw punches like that for 5 rounds and not get caught imo.

Conor is only dangerous for 2 rounds at the most as we've seen his last two fights. Nobody knows what kind of toll these jumps up in weight will have on Conor, I doubt he goes back to FW anyway because that cut was already hell for him. He needs to vacate and let Aldo & Holloway decide who's king at 145.

Yeah as much as I like Aldo Conor's style is all wrong for him imo.

Seriously? He can't call himself Bones anymore. It's either Boner or Boneless from now on.

I think Conor can beat Alvarez but he's no easy win. If Alvarez goes with a heavy grappling gameplan he's gonna wear Conor down. He's got an iffy gas tank.

I disagree. Alvarez is not consistent to me. When he's "on", he can destroy Conor but I haven't seen that side of him except for that RDA fight and before that in Japan.

Conor is consistently good. If I had to bet, I'd put it on Conor. It's on Eddie to show up or not.

Alvarez's has a shakey chin. Good ability to recovery though. If he can avoid Conor's power shots. I'd definitely favor him over Conor.

Dana thinking of doing Jones vs Rumble first:

'I'm thinking that maybe we do Anthony Johnson versus Jon Jones to see who gets to fight Daniel Cormier.'

"I've not talked to Jon but the guy has got 13 lives man," White said. "It's looking good for him. He's got to deal with Nevada right now, and this thing that went down and I can't say a lot about it because it's not my place. We will see how this thing plays out, but it's looking good for him."
