Whats the point of Mcgregor fighting an old man with 9 losses

[Cptn1NSAN0]

His starching of Dustin Poirier (who was ranked #6) in under two minutes was enough for a title shot already, this fight is just happening because he's healthy and wants to compete. You would all rather he sat out and waited? MMA fans will complain about literally anything.

Strongest evidence yet that Conor nuthuggism fucks with the brain.

Even without this fight (win) he still has the greatest claim for the next shot at Aldo. This is, as the quoted individual alluded, elementary and deals with his willingness to fight/stay active.

Who else is more deserving of a title shot right now? Frankie? Why would the UFC make that fight when they can book Aldo/McGregor and give Frankie a title shot further down the road? Especially when PPV buys are so down. "Oh yeah let's not make the biggest money fight in years, let's give the fans another rematch!" Please.

Yes, and Punk should get an instant title shot in whatever division he wants, because he as a lot of twitter followers and it would be a huge money fight.



In case it wasn't clear, I was talking about merit.

It's using the Dan Hardy treatment. Give him an easy way to the top so he can pull in the Irish fans and European crowd. Dana wants to sell in other countries and Conor getting a title shot is the best way.

Conor will pull in the most money out of anyone else getting a title shot and Dana wants to cash in on that before he loses his aura.

I really hope Siver spoils the plan.

Should have just skipped the fight altogether and made Aldo/Conor in March/April

agreed.

Don't be so na

This is a Manuwa/Gus, Couture/Van Arsdale kind of fight. A virtual free pass for a title shot.

Manuwa was pretty hyped and undefeated. How is a young undefeated guy who's obviously a threat a gimme fight? Of all the immediate rematches we see, Gus deserves a rematch with Jon Bones.

That was not a gimme fight and Gus deserved a rematch anyway.

$$$$$ is the only way.

nah, Siver is world class. he's a legit fighter and Conor realizes that
