Who should Nate defend the Mcgregor belt against first?

[jeremyemilio]

Criteria:

1. Must not give a fuck.
2. Must have a "Weight classes? Who cares about weight classes?" attitude.

My vote is BJ Penn.

It's a tough comeback fight for him, but it would show us where he's at.

Plus it would be nice to see him finish what Conor started and go for that third belt.

Then give Conor the shot to take it back from BJ or take the rematch with Nate.

Thoughts?

Stopped reading at BJ penn.

The guy is finished, he had a good career why does he need to get beat up even more. Nate wold destroy him. Let bj fight siver or nik lentz. Nates got bigger fish to fry.

Nate would run Penn over just like Nick did.

If tinkle-toes Penn shows up, the undertaker better already preparing the grave.

Cerrone Rematch maybe, they fought and Nate got the best of him, but he is one of the very few with true fighter mentality and is always ready to throw down, i just hope Cerrone puts up a "fight" during the pressers because Nate is going to eat him alive if he doesnt.

Well... but you should have kept reading. There are good reasons for BJ to be the one. He's a big underdog, sure. But he fits the criteria better than almost anyone.

And, hell, maybe being an underdog makes him even more fitting. The first man to win the Mcgregor belt in the cage got it by winning as a heavy underdog.

Hmmm...

Cerrone has a history with Nate, has had words with Conor, and had his last fight at WW.... I'll allow it.

Nate may have been a complete under dog to the bookies but the it was defo a 50/50 fight. Bj is finished and stands no chance against nate, none.

While all of that is true, this is more of a "no fucks given belt", so....im down with BJ getting the shit kicked in by another Diaz, i would prefer Cerrone to step up tho.

 

[TheWobbler]

No fucks given belt should be diaz v diaz....what a fight that would be.

I like this. Especially since Mcgregor was hyping the Conor v Conor fight at one of the pressers.

Unfortunately, I feel like this is the one situation in which both guys would actually give to much of a fuck to make it happen.

(Although, somehow I believe Conor would fight Conor for the right payday if only he could figure out how.)
