It seems Dana is saying if Conor wins this fight, he will have to give up one of the belts immediately after.

Dana also said tat Khabib was next in line and McGregor next fight will be a defence of is 145 belt. If Conor want something,Dana White alway give it to him!

The UFC plays the casual fan as ignorant of how the talent is in the 145, 155, and 170 weight classes and they are right in that assessment.  That is how they can get away with it.

WME paid $4 billion for the UFC so they need to make some of that money back.

He "ducked" Edgar and fought Nate Diaz twice at 170 lbs and now the Lightweight champ ... he "ducked" the same Edgar that got wrecked by Aldo, a man he KTFO'd in 13 seconds.

Apparently Khabib vs. Michael Johnson is in the works for this same card, no doubt for the next title shot. Kinda ******** all around that they gave Conor this fight. Conor should be forced to abandon the 145 title at this point but they clearly wanna see if they can make Conor HOF status real quick by seeing if he can get two straps at once.

@skelliher

I'm not saying Edgar should get the shot now, silly goose.  Of course he can't get it now after the beating he took from Aldo.  But to say that McGregor has not avoided his responsibilities as champ is asinine.  If you hold a belt, you must fight the number one contender for said belt.  And the fact is that Edgar was the #1 contender for the better part of a year and McGregor ducked him so that way he could have meaningless money fights that ended up creating logjams for contenders in divisions like Featherweight and now Lightweight and he is a **** for doing so.

Meritocracy is fine and all that, but we need this fight to happen. No other champion has been willing to challenge another champion. That trumps everything else.

I dont think Conor gets him as he says in first round..but watch out for him in the second round... This is far from a "Diaz" kinda fight... Alvarez is far from a epic fight... chin is soft and Connor has great take down defense causing this to stay on feet for too long for Eddie

@buffaloben

Do we?

Do we really need this?  Or is it that the MMA casuals WANT this because "Hurr Durr! McGregor is the bestest fighter in the wurld! He should challenge for all the beltz!  Hurr Durr!"

And as far as champs challenging other champs, Jon Jones beat McGregor to the punch a year plus ago when he said after UFC 182 he had plans to challenge for the 265 strap after he beat Anthony Johnson.  Shame that he couldn't beat drug addiction first. :D

didnt duck Edgar...it would have been Edgar on this card against Conor had Edgar done his job against Aldo...  and I have forever been a Aldo fan all my life (in this sport as a fan) but in all actuality Aldo has nobody to blame but ALdo on this one..

Dana booked the **** out of this card precisely because of injurys and hes making sure this event doesnt fall flat in the biggest market on earth.. Its a smart move but NY better not get used to it...once this happens it will be back to "watered down UFC's" like has been sorta common place lately.. Outside of the card Conor and Nate were on..many of these UFC 's  have fallen short... I mean look at 204... is anyone even really talking about it or are we allready marking our calenders for 205... Ya Dana is pulling out all the stops on this one but it will be short lived.. They could literally have %60 of the card remain without injurys and this one would still be better than most UFC events..Hell the Preliminarys are as good as some UFC Mains..

Don't forget Penn at UFC 94. Don't act like Conor is doing something new.

Mate, that fight never happened. Jon Jones never fought at heavyweight. Aldo never got around to fighting Pettis either. Or Cruz Johnson, or St Pierre Silva. This is the first time it's actually going to happen and I like it. Granted, even I agree that McGregor should have fought Aldo instead of rematching Diaz.

Prediction: wrong Alvarez   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I don't consider this the first time it's going to happen cause if it wasn't for all this money **** Conor would have had to relinquish the belt in order to fight his bunch of fights outside of the division he's the so called champ in.Yes,he's the FW champ,but I don't consider him that and I think most hardcore mma fans agree it's stupid that this will be his 3rd fight outside of the division he's champ in and still has a belt.

It's all for money,he left that division behind to pursue other stuff,he's the champ on paper,that's it (imo).I don't see this as champ vs champ fight,I see this as former FW champ vs current LW champ and I don't really give a **** about all the promotion or what ******** other fans want to eat up and believe.No other champion in history would have been able to circus around this much and still have a belt.I know he's the champ,I just personally don't consider him the champ.I don't really see how anyone can consider him the FW champ,but whatever.
