@Gregory Conor's chances are slim against a fighter who can adjust on the fly like dos Anjos, a fighter with as much power as dos Anjos (remember which guys he's knocked out in the first round), a fighter who has proven to have the heart of a lion (look at how his career has turned around) and more importantly, a grappler like dos Anjos.

Conor McGregor would be thoroughly ******.

For those who are interested in hearing RDA, The Reem, and Nate Diaz all talk at one presser, here is the UFC of FOX 17 Post Fight Press Conference:

Because of RDA winning, the money fight for Conor next is against Edgar. After that, win or lose, make a McGregor vs. Nate Diaz non-championship 5 round fight. If Conor can beat Diaz, have him then challenge whoever is holding the LW belt.

Not sure why people are getting into McGregor at 155,what a ******* disaster that would make.145 was a total mess for a long time with Aldo rarely fighting and when he did vs guys like Frankie Edgar who weren't established at the class,then we had like 5 contenders sitting there for like 2 years.Really hope we don't get a mess like that again,Conor needs to defend his strap and it would be great if fans didn't always need some super fight between weight classes,the champions should stay where they are until they defend a bunch of times and there isn't a real threat anymore.I could care less about McGregor at LW,he has a belt to defend in a great division first.

Nahhh. People seem okay with Conor not defending. Everyone says you're not champion until you defend.. but that's not the case for Conor apparently. Especially when the #1 contender could not be more clear.

It's infuriating. I'm okay with Conor going up though, because RDA tools him. His only shot was if Cerrone won, and, well.. he didn't.

Diaz was awesome in that post fight press conference. Cowboy looked deflated. I really feel for the guy. He has been at the top a long time & this last streak was amazing. Hopefully he can rebound.

I went with Cerrone based on RDA sucking since the new testing blah blah blah I was wrong. Good for him.

Overeem surprised me, I didn't see the fight but wow.

Went with Johnson but **** yes Diaz.

Didn't pick him either but **** yeah barn cat!! I forgot i hated samman so much until around the Luque fight lmao.

What's Mike gonna say when Conor knocks out RDA and Edgar?

Probably just that Khabib is gonna smoke him.

Same old. Yawn.

@Skelliher, if Conor knocks Edgar and Dos Nachos out he's arguably the best ever....

Skelli, I don't even think he'd KO Aldo again in a rematch. He for sure won't KO Edgar. And RDA imo is the worst possible match-up for him at the moment. More-so than Khabib. If McGregor somehow managed to KO both him and Edgar, make room at the front of that GOAT line, because clearly he's one of them. But it won't happen.
