Other than Werdum this is the toughest opponent Conor could get, get off his back man.
Also, it's not weird at all, this is the fight Conor wants and he's positioned himself so that what he wants, he gets. A win over Frankie gives him a great title defense over a legend, a win over RDA makes him an instant MMA god. That's what he wants, so no, not weird, no funny business going on, sucks for Frankie because I truly believe he was ahead of Mendes both for the Aldo rematch and for the crack at the interim title when Aldo pulled out. Problem is, Frankie was already a bit burnt as far as selling points go after his run at 155, so the UFC went with the guy who'd lost less title fights at the time and already had a beef with Conor.
Frankie will get his day and I think he loses to both Aldo and Conor.

He was protected because he fought Siver to get a shot. Not even close to being worthy of it.
I am not even going to go there about the Mendes fight as people will just get violent in their speech about my thoughts.
He did beat Aldo which was good but he knows it was a fluke.

Say whatever you want about him being protected or undeserving of the title shot because the minute he won the title off an all-time great he rendered all that **** completely irrelevant. Weird I never hear you whining about Dillashaw's title shot which he got after a loss to Assuncao and win over Easton (yeah, remember him?)! And with good reason, the minute he beat Barao he retroactively became deserving of the shot. But saying that shot on Aldo was just a lucky shot shows pure ignorance.

Notice anything odd about this picture?
More specifically, compare the pic above to this picture from the UFC 94 Promotional Press Conference.
See the difference?
