Does Conor McGregor still deserve the title shot against RDA? :p

[moreorless87]

Option 5

Pretend UFC 196 never happened, erase all records from it and drop Tate/Diaz.

 

[Wander777]

He has to defend FW or be stripped.

 

[12ga.]

No. Sad. Would have liked to see this fight. Picked RDA but Conor always has a chance to KO.

 

[East European]

He has to defend FW or be stripped.

No homo though, right?

 

[Tuf_guy]

nay.

 

[RNC&Poke]

Nope, never deserved it. Should have to work his way up into the division like everybody else has to.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

of course not

 

[DocGreenthumb]

Frankie is going to do the same shit to him

 

[Nightmaree]

Sounds fair. Maybe skip number three and go straight to four - either way is fine with me.

agree, RDA meanwhile can fight once against Ferg/Khabib winner, in time between Conor/Aldo and Edgar fights

 

[KazaamBR]

Conor does not have a single ranked win at 155 and just lost to a guy that got beat up by the champion.

 

[basedworld]

1. Defend against Aldo
2. Defend against Edgar
3. Defend against Holloway/Lamas/Oliveira - whoever gets TS
4. Fight RDA (if he is still champ by that time)

Put fight RDA as number 5 and rematch diaz and win as number 4

 

[Clear Winner]

I know styles make fights, but having seen what happened last night, you'd have to think the RDA would kill him.

Touchy choice for Dana now. Needs to give him an easy fight to build him back up, but he's the champ and Frankie is waiting. Also, can he make that cut now?

 

[Sirwastealot]

Of course not, the hype is over, for now. Hes just like any other top fighter now hes got to win a couple of big fights to make it back up there.

But he is a big draw still so you never know.

 

[legedema]

in his first title defense he will also lose the belt,
end of hype story

 

[Higgins2Waite]

THE blueprint:

- Starch Frankie
- Starch RDA (155 title)
- Starch Diaz (rematch)
- Starch Lawler (170 title)
- Starch Nick
- Retire rich and floating off into the sunset on a sea of tears and bags full of $$$.

 

[7th]

Aldo, then Cerone at LW or Edgar, depends how bad he wants to be at LW. He might have been humbled to realize he's no more special than guys like GSP or Jones who never try to move up once they have their dominance established

 

[KO Face]

Frankie is going to do the same shit to him

You're getting too excited. Frankie won't take a small percentage of the abuse Nate did in round one. Even the one check hook Nate took would put Frankie to sleep for long enough. Not to say he doesn't stand a chance, just dont see it.

 

[Uncle Meat]

RDA must be biting his ass for missing that payday.

 

[Genki Sudo II]

No. He just lost to the 5'th ranked LW. Get real.

Bum gatekeeper to 5th ranked LW? OK.

 

[HomeRun916]

Bum gatekeeper to 5th ranked LW? OK.

Not sure what your trying to say, but Nate was announced as the 5th ranked LW.
