Name a single fight that he has ducked.
Exactly. I'm sure saying that Mendez is a midget and saying he could rest his nuts on his head shows how scared he is to fight him.

I loved how he established position before going for the kill. Great fight IQ and patience. It will be interesting to see his ground game on display in the future. Him vs Frankie would be an amazing fight.
Except for nobody thought that who follows MMA, not least of all the odds makers who had Siver at a 9 to 1 disadvantage (+900.) Making this fight was absurd from the beginning and most people knew it. Absolutely nothing was learned from it other than McGregor can beat a guy who is +900. Well whoopitty freakin doo, who would have thought.
Despite it supposedly being a squash match, I have more faith in McGregor after this, but not in this particular aspect.
Anything other than a first round ko would be surprising. Let's not forget how badly edgar got dominated by maynard early in their second and third fights; the slow, plodding, predictable, uncoordinated gray maynard.
u do know he got subbed in 30 secs against a 125 pounder right lol

For people arguing about the past, please please please bet on MMA. Betting on sports is about discerning useful stats from the useless stats and the ability to analyze and determine a team or individuals potential trajectory. Most people on here can't even muster up the skills to analyze their own lives to determine their own potentials and would rather work dead end jobs for however long their body can keep them going; then they begin the disability cheque income. If you cannot understand your own potential, do not try to pretend you can analyze the potential of others.
Slow89, nice troll account brotha. I want bet slips against McGregor come his next fight to back up what you are saying.
I took McGregor 2nd round and hit an 9 fight, 2 football parlay for a total 11 play parlay last night. The account continues to grow.
The UFC doesn't want him anywhere near the top guys that will crush their chance at a big Aldo PPV. Mendes, Frankie, and even Lamas is a no no to put him against. You know this though which is why they let him fight a guy that had about zero chance of winning.
Why are you acting like Siver is a +900 dog against everyone? He was +146 against Cub ffs. The odds were that lopsided because Conor matched up with him that well because Conor is a good damn fighter.
That has more to do with Aldo than it does Conor. Conor would sell out fights against anyone and he'd probably be the betting odd favorite against anyone not named Aldo. In other words they would still make a killing off Conor giving him more fights.
It's Aldo they can't sell against anyone other than Conor. As amazing as Aldo is he is not a good asset and needs Conor to sell fights. So yeah they want this fight and so does everyone else.
But I digress. That poster said Conor is ducking wrestlers. Who did he decline to fight?
Why would they make an up and coming prospect fight a +900 to get a title shot. It has to be one of the most lopsided matches that will be made in 2015. You are going to feel silly as shit when you see what Aldo does to this guy.
Who else could he have fought for this card?
Jose/Mendes: Fought in October.
Frankie/Cub: Fought in November.
Lamas/Bermudez: Fought in November
Poirier: Probably still has post fight depression
Oliveira/Stephens: Fought in December
So they should have made him fight Lentz instead? Please. Ok maybe they could have given him Oliveira or Stephens, but it would be the same crap different name.
I'm not going to feel anything if Aldo beats him because, win or lose, Conor is a damn good fighter and has a great career ahead of him.
