Prediction: correct McGregor   wrong Decision  

The rumor is out of the horse's mouth, Dana White at the UFC 190 post-fight presser, so I guess it's credible enough to toss in as a rumor.

I can attest now to the fact that McGregor's ground game is indeed hot garbage.

IFFFFFFFFFFFFF this fight and Ronda vs Miesha III are on the same card, it wouldn't surprise me to see it break the PPV record. I find it a little surprising that they wouldn't want both of those fights for UFC 200, but I guess that's way too far away.

Cthulho, i was thinking the same thign about not having this at UFC 200.  Maybe they want the return of GSP then?  That would be a perfect time if he did come back.

Prediction: wrong Aldo   wrong Decision  

Mendes showed the holes in Connors ground game, Aldo will use his kicks to control distance and possibly control the ground.

They will try stop the fight at any little thing they can against Aldo. They need Mcgregor to win or at least put up a great fight so there can be a rematch.

I think Aldo wins this, too explosive and athletic.

aldo by unanimous decision

Prediction: wrong Aldo   wrong Decision  

just rewatched mcgregor vs mendes and a few things stand out

1. Mcgregor comes out very agressive and seems to wear himself by the second round

2. Mendes took him down at will and when he had him down he did a lot of damage with elbows. He had mcgregors eye split open

3. Mcgregor keeps his hands down all fight and dares mendes to hit him you would think he wouldnt do this against aldo but the guy is crazy so who knows. 

4. Mcgregor had a 8 inch reach advantage in this fight and still mendes was able to get inside and hit him alot.

I just see too many advantages for aldo in their upcoming fight. The only way mcgregor wins is if he catches him early but with a 4 inch reach disadvantage in this fight aldo will stay patient and pepper him with leg kicks.  If this gets passed the second round mcgregor will be finished and aldo will coast to a unanamious decision win.

Aldo will run through him.  This will be a big PPV and then UFC wants McGregor to be champ so they will do anything to get him to win.  Despite this, he still loses.

What's sad about this fight is if Conor wins there will be a fair share of people who will say the fight was fixed. If it was boxing I'd say maybe but not MMA.
