Just have him fight Aldo. I don't want to go through 2 year kabuki dance of building Common Mac up any further.

Il take the guy who's proven. Olivera all day. No reason yet to believe Mcgregor is on the level of Cowboy or Swanson (The guys who have stopped Olivera).

Do Bronx beats him easily. 1st round sub. Oliveira isn't Marcus Brimage FFS.

Highly unlikely Mcgregor would submit Olivera. That's why I only mentioned the strikers.

I agree Swanson is way better then Conor but I was more just thinking along the lines of his striking being so much better then Charles he would pick him apart on the feet before it went to the ground .

Aloe Vera has hang with Frankie on the feet. He will be fine against Conor. The question is can Conor keep this on the feet? If he can, he can win. If this goes to the ground he will sleep fast.
Conor has some terrible tendencies......
1. Keeps hands way too low, albeit he keeps a certain amount of distance and is excellent at cutting angles and countering. This one particular tendency WILL cost him in the later years of his career (Chuck Liddell), I have no doubt! Keeping your hands low is unnecessary and is the result of a huge ego!(see Marcus Brimage vs Conor Mcgregor 1st rd 4:32-to4:30 it just takes one!)
2. Leaping punches! Even a bum on his worst night can throw a no look overhand or any punch for that matter and capitilize on this mistake! Good for Conor that he waits until after he feints and leaps according to the opponents reaction, see Max Holloway vs Conor Mcgregor 1st rd 4:10-to-4:02. If you watch this entire fight you will see multiple examples of this same thing! I could handle the leaps if not for the next tendency, hands do not come back to the chin!
3. Hands drop lower after strike! His hands come back to rest after a strike at his waist of just below chest level. He actually caught a couple hard strikes from Holloway that were unnecessary, why showboat when you can pitch a NO-HITTER!
4. Does not check Leg kicks! To beat the champ you have to have this last one, or control the distance and pace of the fight which Conor will do! Conor relies on that front leg for his various stances, fix this small error and he will tool Aldo! 4th rd TKO!
Having said those things.......I am a huge Conor fan! I believe he will be a two div champ in the UFC. I just wish he would fix these small errors to be the GOAT we all know he is and not lose to a nobody by a lucky shot! That being said, he will tool Brandao on the ground or standing, everyone mentions Conor has yet to be tested on the ground. If you watch his takedowns closely who does he remind you of with his timing.........George St. Pierre. He controls the distance, hence, he controls the fight. He's better than Cowboy, better than Guida, heck Florian schooled Guida! Better than Mendes, Mendes is a novice with his hands, he just swats Hard, and has a VERY strong takedown game. Better than Aldo, it's hard to throw leg kicks when Conor Is cracking you in the face.......and Aldo whiffs on a takedown, lol! Aggression will break Aldo and in the fourth will succumb to an onslaught where he is rescued, hugged, and wished well back to his Changing room, Long live the GOAT!:icon_evil

"He would get subbed" you kidding me? The dude rolls day in day out with the BJJ Viking Gunnar Nelson. I'm sure he'd more than good on the ground plus he snuffed Holloways BJJ game with a blown ACL. The guys for real #McGOAT

That maybe, I'm pretty sure he gets a thing or 2 tips from Gunni but in an actual fight, If he goes to the ground with Aloe, might as well throw in a pillow & a blanket...

Why not? What has he shown that makes you think he can't hang with Oliviera or those other two? It's not like any of those three are crazy good wrestlers and anyone who actually knows what the hell they're seeing can tell Conor's a very talented striker. I don't see why he couldn't beat all three of them.
