I know alot of people want to see Frankie fight him. The reality is Connor has a build that is going to suffer at 145. He has too wide shoulders and height and now mass to be healthy there. What he needs to do is fight at 155 with a #2 or 3 LW contender and then take on RDA. Personally I truly believe he has past the healthy chance at 145. Surrender the belt and man up and work towards RDA.
 
He moved up and got his ass handed to him by a lightweight fighter.

He has said on numerous occasions that the featherweight division is "dead". He is running from lightweight, hence why he has slithered back to featherweight.
 
Good thing he doesnt listen to you eh?
 
He dominates everyone at 145, fights one 155er and loses, how does that equal that 155 is the better weight class for him?

Conor will stay at 145 for as long as he can keep dominating there.
 
He needs to properly bulk and train for 155. Not just eat whatever he wants for three months.
 
LW is arguably the toughest division in MMA.

Conor isn't ever going to dominate that division, no way, no how.
 
Conor might be the first UFC weight cutting related death
 
Umm, he fought at 170, not 155 when he lost. I believe he weighed 168 at weigh in. Again, he needs to fight at 155. yes it is tough. Good place to prove himself again.

He doesn't dominate "everybody" at 145 cuz he hasn't fought Frankie
 
Conor needs to focus on his training!! I see him becoming undefeated and "un touchable" in this new international fight league!!

FTW is the only place for Mcgregor atm, he cant take another chance at a different weight class after the success he has had at FTW. He loses twice in a row and that's it. Edgar he needs to steer clear of, Edgar beats him. Like I've always said and now we will probably never see him do it, RDA destroys Mcgregor.
 
I belive Nat Diaz owns that title now, eh?
 
Just like he owns a piece of Conor's soul. Booyah!

Up to him. He is the champ. 155 sounds the most sensible. He will only hang around at 145 if the big money fights are there.
 
RDA should be his goal. If you look at RDA's growth, it is how McG could go. RDA has had his azz whipped a few times. He has improved. Connor needs to work his way back to respect at 155. That is the smart move.
 
Huh... first off he never missed weight before.. So why all of a sudden is he not capable of making weight?? He sure looked healthy to me when he was smashing everyone he faced.. Secondly he never defended his title. I feel like every legit champ must defend his belt at least once. And what happens if he cant cut it at 155. Then what does he do?
 
I have not heard anything yet that conflicts with the commons sense/reality of my statement.
 
Don't worry, he'll go up to 155 after Frankie pounds him into the mat.
 
All the news lately about matchmaking has bummed me out but this makes up for a lot of it!
