Was that boxing fight at 3am? It's going to be winter in Ireland that is just too much to ask of fans
Nobody gave a date or saying its the best plan etc, its a thought if aldo/mcgregor did have a fight it most likely would be in ireland, with the possibility at croke park since Dana and Conor have both said that in the past.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, since Conor has wins over Aldo & Holloway he shouldn't have to fight them but still keep the FW title regardless? I have an idea, why not just get rid of the FW division entirely and create a new one. Make the weight limit 144lbs and call it the light FW division, that way Conor is the last and greatest FW champion.

Do we really wanna see Connor vs aldo 2 tho?

I'm an aldo fan, but I keep lookin at this match up like Anderson vs Franklin. Franklin was mashing thru 185, no1 cld beat em till Anderson. The style match up just wasn't in rich's favor. And I think the same wit aldo vs Connor.

Franklin got his rematch and Anderson just mashed em again, was a waste of time. Franklin eventually went up in weight, and maybe aldo shld use this time 2 go up and get some other big money fights. Holloway even tho may be an exciting fight, it's not a big marquee $$ fight.

Don't know If this is in reference to my post but it wouldn't surprise me as ppl on here often struggle to comprehend em. If conor struggles to make 145 as it is and the top 2 contenders are rematch fights is that a good indicator he is returning or should return? Like I said this is where Dana exercises his rank. Make holloway/aldo or the alternative

That first fight lasted all of 13 seconds. Who's to say a rematch goes exactly the same? Conor has shown his gas tank is suspect and if Aldo can drag the fight into deep water, the result will be much different.

UFC need to part ways with cyborg. She can't make 140, she can't fight Ronda, and nobody wants to fight her. Most of all, there's no 145 division.
They don't have any plans to have a 145 division in an era where there are no champs from Brazil sans nunes they need that marquee star when they go to Brazil. She serves her purpose but this stuff with her weight is one of the dicey aspects of the sport :patrice:

I do wanna see Aldo v Conor 2. Conor sells these fights regardless who he's fighting.

I don't believe Conor will fight at FW again though. He's been heavy for too long I think. I bet he added a lot of muscle for the Diaz fight.

Wanderlei doesn't put on an act. He's really that dude.
Yeah, but the fact that Wanderlei approached Barnett as the elevator doors are closing reinforces the Old Pride story told by former Pride Fighters that Charlie Barnett left hook him and knocked him out in the locker room.

Aldo is a way greater fighter than Franklin would ever be. Horrible comparison Aldo has a legit chance of beating Conor

horse is fighting on that rizin card this weekend. had no idea his record is 29-30 :dead:

wandy must be supporting someone from his team or got invited to be at the show.

he's supposed to be in that grand prix this weekend, but he got hit while biking a couple of months ago so they just gave him a bye instead.
