You seem to forget this is the fight business; anything is possible.
He has the longest active win streak at 145 besides the champ, and is the only fighter in the top 5 that hasn't already lost to Aldo.
Conor has a tendency for showboating techniques and baiting firefights
No.
He gets in there and finishes people quickly.
I was thinking if McGregor came out trying to fulfill his prediction, he could seriously make a mistake and get sloppy, resulting in a (like previous poster said) Gonzaga/Crocop level "WTF" moment
No.
He gets in there and finishes people quickly.
Forget? Most of the people dickriding McGregor are 2010-2014 join dates. I'd be willing to bet half of them don't know MMA, much less combat sports.
That's because he's one of the few people in the division that haven't been tested.
Yes, because your join date three years prior to me means that you know a lot more about MMA.
Hasn't been tested? Poirier and Holloway aren't tests?
He'll have a 5 fight win streak going into his title shot, and he hasn't lost to Aldo, he's the most deserving contender.
Siver's a good fighter. Not to be overlooked. Good striker and can finish you on the ground if he has you hurt...
... That being said, McGregor's on another level, and unless he comes in unprepared or makes an AS vs. Weidman-esque mistake, this one's a sure thing.
McGregor by KO in the 1st.
