Not anything. Conor isn't beating any of the top WWs.After Bisping anything can happen man.

But I think Nate exposed in the first fight, I know he´s a big draw you´re right, but that could get smaller if he loses again to Diaz and goes back and loses to Aldo in a rematch for example, that would make 3 losses in a row.... If he loses to Nate again, which I believe he will, there´s not much left for him but to go down and almost die trying to make weight every time to defend his title....I don't buy what your selling...
I agree they thought Lawler would waste Woodley but why give Wonderboy the belt now when he can build interest by slaying the rest of the division...
Plus those underdog upset kings and queens usually lose the belt on their first defence or two and lose the casual fan base. Holy Holm,Miesha Tate, Luke Rockhold, RDA and soon to be Eddie Alvarez
McGregor is not even a factor...he is a brand of his own making and was just mislead in thinking he could jump from 145 to 170...I still think he could do well at 155 but even Anderson Silva the GOAT took easy fights in Irvine and Griffin when going up in weight
I guess you know all things then. You´re the man, good for you, kiddo.Oh right, how silly of me, THEY don't know shit....you are just a messenger carrying THEIR message.
You are the one totally making up a fake story, pretending you know what the UFC is thinking lolI guess you know all things then. You´re the man, good for you, kiddo.
I know, I believe that too... In my theory I don´t see Conor even winning the rematch against Diaz, but the ufc has plans that involve this guy, that´s why I think they left Wonderboy out, just to increase Conor´s chances, understand, not that I think he´ll win.Problem with your theory: Lawler would absolutely destroy McGregor.
So you´re saying I can´t come into a forum to post what I think??????? Thanks, mate.You are the one totally making up a fake story, pretending you know what the UFC is thinking lol
Didn't expect my IQ to drop a few points after I came in here.

I guess Nate brought him back to earth.Even Conor knows the 170 lb title is out of his grasp. He's gunning for dual belts at 145 and 155
Hummm, the "emotional" game, right? Let me know when you finish writing your book on "dealing with emotions on the internet", I´d love to read it.
I agree that they're the easier matchups.
RDA and Alvarez are both better matchups than Ferguson and Khabib.
Lawler and even Woodley are both better matchups than Wonderboy.
Meanwhile, both the Alvarez and Woodley title shots made no sense...
Alvarez was 0-3 in the UFC and coming off 2 boring fights, and all his fights were decisions. He also has no personality and is not a draw. Yet they chose him over claimants with 2 of the biggest win streaks in the UFC; Ferguson who is in the top 5 most exciting fighters in the UFC, and Khabib who held a win over the champion.
Woodley hadn't fought in 18 months, hadn't decisively won in 2 years, and was dominated by Rory MacDonald shortly before that. He's also got a bad personality and chooses to avoid tough fights or any fights whatsover. Meanwhile like Ferg and Khabib, Wonderboy and Maia are on fantastic winstreaks, and Wonderboy in particular is extremely marketable, a company guy, and has an exciitng fighting style.
I can't think of any other reason Woodley and Alvarez would get title shots, so I have to agree with TS
what a bunch of crap, seriously shut upThey put Woodley coming from a long period off to fight Lawler instead of a convincingly-hot-win-streak -Wonderboy because they thought Robbie would beat Woodley and stay champion, so that Conor could have a better chance against Lawler (a very durable brawler but very hittable and not nearly as skilled as Wonderboy) than against Wonderboy... and for the ufc it would be a great opportunity to make their golden goose move not 1 but 2 weight classes to get the belt, becoming the only fighter to do "such a feat" and their best chance was with Lawler staying champion. WB didn´t get his title shot not because he didn´t deserve or because Woodley deserved more, but because of Conor´s chances to be champion in two divisions, but their original plan fell through when Woodley KOed Lawler. But the UFC still wants it to happen... in my opinion they´re setting things up in a way that if he beats Nate in the rematch he´ll have his shot at either LW or WW title (they´ll even let him choose the least difficult champ at the time, which I believe is Alvarez now, not Woodley). They knew that Wonderboy would just be too good for Conor. But now with Woodley as champion, Conor´s best chances would be against Alvarez than Woodley, and Alvarez has already asked for this fight, and they´d love to make it, that´s why I don´t believe they´ll schedule Alvarez against Khabib now, they´ll wait for the Conor Diaz fight to play out first.
