Prediction: wrong McGregor   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

This could be a VERY legit fight. 

I was leaning Cowboy as the preferred replacement, but the more I think about the match-up (besides the obvious trash talk entertainment factor,) the more I wonder if Diaz's chin, height and reach will give Conor problems. 

Conor has the speed and power edge, and IMO the skill advantage on the feet. But Diaz has great cardio, takes a shot well and hits from odd angles.

The real loser in all this is frank Edgar , when mcgregor wins he will demand Rda bout for 200,  I know frankie is injured right now, but could be while till his shot.i would guess he'll take fight by then .. but with who ?

It's official!

And it's at 170 lbs. 

Also, these were actual words spoken by McGregor:

"Make it 170," he says. "Tell him to get comfortable."


Not as badass as, "They're all the same," regarding the Mendes replacement, but still epic.

I was just saying that to my friend, The Nomad. The build-up, press conferences and weigh-ins are going to be amazing.

This is going to be the most epic short notice build-up to a fight. The amount of **** these two are going to talk in the next two weeks should last us a lifetime.

It's also awesome because we have just enough time to get insanely pumped for the fight and not enough time to get tired of the lead-up/marketing.

The history angle of the RDA fight was great, but this fight may do a bigger number on PPV.

RDA is also the big loser in all this (not just Frankie). He's not considered the champion that Aldo was (yet). RDA might not get the 2nd chance to fight McGregor once he's healed. Since this new fight is at WW, McGregor might ask to skip 155 and challenge for the WW belt at UFC 200.

We all saw an under prepared Diaz vs. dos Anjos...he may disappoint.
