yeah this fight showed alot,
-conor cant stop the takedown
-can be held
-very basic gaurd
-open to submissions on the gound
-keeps his hands low
-no head movement
-has a chin
we ALL already knew he had KO power in the left......KO'ing mendes wasnt shocking or un-expected at all..
2 week mendes won round1 and was able to implement his will and gameplan on conor. Dominated mcgregor on the ground, and had success with his "t-rex" arms in the stand up.
Conor is very beatable.
So who deserved the shot more than Conor?I disagree
brimmage - uber-can
holloway - contender
drandao - can
poirer - solid
siver - uber-can
If i looked at those succession of wins in that division WITHOUT knowing it was conor, I would laugh if someone told me that warrants a title shot on aldo...especially not fighting mendes, llamas, frankie, or cub.
you'll see the gap tomorrow.
Lol @ the "interim belt"
everyone knows that belt is as fugazi as a pair of fragment Jordan I's from perfectkickz.net fam
So who deserved the shot more than Conor?
Yet Cub lost to Frankie, so you can't give Cub the shot. Frankie definitely has a reason to feel overlooked... but anyone else? Noat the time before frankie shut him down, cub was on a solid 6 fight win streak (no cans)...and Frankie of course are the 2 names that come to mind
Right, so I'm saying Frankie has a reason to feel overlooked^ yeah but they had fought BEFORE conor fought siver for the title shot.....they was basically the title elimnator right there...
but they skipped over frankie and fed conor siver
hell they could have conor fight cub or frankie AFTER!
but Im not here to argue, cats always tryna argue.....
Im just saying conors run to the title shot was weak AF if you cant see that you drinking the juice
Depends on how the loss looksThe real question is, if Conor loses will the slurpage stick around?
I'll give my boys hell but if Conor loses and didn't get the breaks beat out of him like Ronda did then I don't expect it to be as bad
Depends on how the loss looks
If he loses I'm pretty sure we'll see a backlash that exceeds the Ronda venom
A bigger point to everything is the media. The media does a lot of free promotion for the UFC and that plays into the "hype" that we see with all of these new faces

She's going to the Marine ball. At least thats what she said to TMZ this morning. So she does get props for that.
Hand picking his opponents, making an entire reality show on Fight Pass just to hype his debut, name dropping him in interviews—it seems at this point that the best thing for Sage Northcutt's fan appeal would be if UFC brass would just stop talking about him. He's an exciting fighter, he's young, and at the risk of sounding like Steve Austin “he's got a great body”. He has all the tools to be a star on his own—if he needs the UFC to flog him like a dead horse and cherry pick his opponents, he'll just end up being resented for it. And heels only move merchandise if they can talk, Northcutt doesn't seem like he has anything divisive to say about anything. Give him a fight that represents what you think he can do, not someone who is clearly supposed to get steam rolled.
Both Vanzant and Northcutt have suffered because the UFC have been so transparent about their desire to see Northcutt and Vanzant succeed. It's an interesting question—whether special steps should be taken to develop prospects in MMA as in boxing. MMA has lost a lot of interesting match ups because contenders knock each other back at every stage on the ladder but that cut throat contender vs contender matchmaking makes for fantastic, competitive fights on every level of the card. After the UFC's successful marketing of Conor McGregor, and its attempts with Paige & Sage, it will be interesting to see whether it continues this experiment in 2016.
MMA fans are way more invested than boxing fans, we see through the BS that boxing promoters can get through.....
