Will McGregor move up like he says when Khabib is champ?

[Adultswim296]

McGregor said hes gonna win the belt and move up to 155 and beat the champ there, who at that time will be either RDA or Khabib (likely Khabib)...

will he do it?

 

[Jar of Flies]

I dont think Khabib gets an immediate shot after a loss.

 

[SherdogGoat]

He would be foolish to move to face Khabib. He could have great TDD but it hasn't been tested against an accomplished wrestler. Aldo matches up better with Khabib since his TDD is stellar and has been tested against some phenomenal wrestlers. Conor may have great TDD as well but I'll be convinced once he faces somebody like Edgar or Mendes.

 

[Mpower]

Nah... I think he'll move up for super fights against strikers like Pettis, but thats it.

 

[boltport]

If he beats Aldo, Edgar, and Mendes, I think he moves up regardless of what's up at 155.

Plus dude is only 26 and a HUGE 145. I don't know if he'd be able to optimally make the cut as he approaches 30.

Khabib is a McGreGOAT disciple

He will do the job.

Lol who is supposed to beat Khabib?

 

[lelouch]

Its just talk I think, lets see him first vs aldo and how he handles it then we can start talk about 155 but stylistically conor has nothing for Khabib.

 

[threelions]

It's talk you really think Dana will let him move up without fighting Edgar, Mendes, Lamas, Swanson even Faber? Not happening he has to many fights

lol

Lol who is supposed to beat Khabib?

Cerrone. Jballer thinks. I say: lol.

 

[L0ki]

Hoping Cowboy gets the win.

If Khabib does get the belt, that would be terrible for Conor.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

WTF was that?

Khabib is a McGreGOAT disciple

He will do the job.

 

[TdotK]

He's gonna have to sooner or later. Those weight cuts are gonna be too hard for him in a year or 2.

 

[Pem123]

Lol who is supposed to beat Khabib?

 

[TdotK]

I actually give Cowboy a pretty good chance to upset Khabib. He won't be afraid to let his kicks fly because his bottom game is very good, and he might pull off a submission on his back if he stuns Khabib while he's coming in reckless with strikes or a TD.

[Dionysian]

Zero chance that Zuffa sacrifices their money maker to Khabib

 

[Paynebringer]

McGregor will be drowning in fights with people waiting to crack on Conor @FW @LW & @WW with the divisions he's mentioned of wanting or thinking of fighting in.

 

[daydaystyles]

Am i the only one who thinks Conor has nothing for cerrone or bendo?

 

[TdotK]

Am i the only one who thinks Conor has nothing for cerrone or bendo?

1 Anthony Pettis
2 Khabib Nurmagomedov
3 Donald Cerrone
4 Gilbert Melendez
5 Benson Henderson
6 Michael Johnson
7 Edson Barboza
8 Myles Jury
9 Josh Thomson
10 Eddie Alvarez
11 Bobby Green

I think everyone on that list would beat Conor, and quite comfortably as well. I think Alvarez, Cowboy, and Jury are toss up fights. The rest would son, Conor.
