The fat haters are going to be eating his Big Irish McNuggets for 1.49.
- ducked the contenders at 145, everyone was calling him out and the only reason he took the Mendes fight is because Aldo dropped out last minute.
At 155 you could say he was very selective, he could have fought any contender there too but thought Nate would be an easier route with a better pay out.
I'm not hating, but to say he taking the toughest fights is retarded
All you people who think Conor will fight Nate over Tony because he's scared are either lying or ignorant. Conor has never ducked any opponent, he's always taken bigger challenges ever since the Cage Warriors days. So stop being ignorant and lying, Conor WILL unify the belts by humiliating El Cuckuy inside two rounds and then you will eat your words.
But he still took the Mendes fight last minute, how many other fighters have just backed out of late replacements.
All much smaller opponents, so his counter punch good. But when he lost to Nate, all he was complaining about was the size different. But he had the same size advantage and even more in pounds over most in the 145 divisionI agree
Choosing to box Floyd for $100 million over fighting Khabib or Tony for $5 million is not ducking. That is the type of money that can set you up for life.
He continuously called out Aldo who was unbeaten for 10 years.
He also was willing to fight RDA when RDA was the LW champ and on a crazy run.
He took a second fight with Nate. He risked losing to the same guy twice in a row but showed his improvement and got the win.
He fought the LW champ Alvarez and KO'ed him
Conor has never ducked anyone. He has actually shown more balls and taken more risks than most champions.
But NOW comes the time. NOW is the moment of truth. If Conor chooses Nate over Tony then that would be considered ducking.
Nobody wants to see him fight Nate again. Every fan, hardcore or casual, that saw 216 wants to see him fight Ferguson, the interim champ that just called him out.
Conor must fight Ferg.
And I think he will. It will be great

Prize*Conor is a price-fighter, ONE massive motivator is the money, he selected Diaz the first time because he and his mangement knows that the Diaz bros has pretty large amount of loyal fans, so even if Nate ever had headlined a ppv it was a secure bet to invite him to that spot because of his TV Numbers, followers on social media and so on. Remember that they Conor & UFC want to sell PPV's.
When RDA pulled out from ufc196 other elite fighters where on the table too, most of them demanded much less money than what Nate did, so Conor is selective but for the most after his opponents worth in sold ppv's togheter with him.
Nate wasn't even the first choice, both Aldo and Frankie were offered the fight before Nate.Everyone was calling him out so what ? If you were given an opportunity to fight the champ, wouldn't you take that fight over others ??
As far as nate fight , nate won the fan favorite vote. Ufc made a fight whst fans wanted to see.

Well, that's what happened. Aldo didn't want to fight him and Frankie had some kind of injury.http://www.foxsports.com/ufc/story/...own-conor-mcgregor-fight-due-to-injury-022316
According to this article, Frankie and Aldo turned down the fight.
I think you missed the meaning of the post... he fought Mendes because Aldo dropped out and then he fought Aldo. At the time, that was number 1 and the champ. Taking on anyone else would have been "ducking".- ducked the contenders at 145, everyone was calling him out and the only reason he took the Mendes fight is because Aldo dropped out last minute.
