Who watches MMA here? Conor is gonna KO Aldo very soon and the Brazilians won't be happy. After Mcgregor knocks out Siver some of you are welcome to come stay with me and get drunk for the Aviva stadium bout next Summer with a UFC crowd of around =<48,000

Jackie Chan could beat them both up easily.

Will hold my comments till Darren Avery chimes in.
-
The man has a whole country behind him.
-
he hasnt faced a great wrestler like edgar or mendes yet,trust me ive seen guys like conner who have outstanding hands only to be destroyed on the ground by a great wrestler. no one in the ufc gets by on just their hands,or for that matter just on their ground games,its called MMA for a reason. frankie edgar would beat conner by taking him down and GNP him to a bloody mess, conner does have potential but imo until he beats some guys with great wrestling backrounds im not gonna be 100% convinced hes the next big thing in MMA

x2 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would also have no trouble with either of these tits.

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

Marty Champions would kick his ass with a flurry of Falcon punches, fueled by kale, grape juice, peanut butter and beer & scotch... And meth...
-
I like Connor the dude has pretty much everything he needs to go all the way. Great stand up his boxing is super slick the way he has that smooth, rocking back and forth style and sharp reflexes to make his opponent miss and then counter. Brings the excitement and has that charisma needed to promote fights and get interest in his career. As a half Irish man myself I hope he beats Aldo and has a good reign as champ.

UFC will protect him as long as possible from those types of fighters because they need him for that Irish support. He is a slick fighter though, I really would be interested in seeing him fight Edgar or Mendes because like you said, its different facing a great wrestler.

i wouldnt go as far as saying he has pretty much everything he needs to go all the way,having excellent stand up like mcgregor is a huge part of being a champion BUT having a great ground game is a HUGE part of it ALSO and we really havent seen mcgregor tested in those waters yet,when he beats a guy like mendes or edgar than i will agree with u,until then he is just another hyped fighter that the UFC is pushing to get the IRISH fans BUYING PPV'S.

I like this guy, he's got charasma.

Easy work for Aldo
Aldo is animal, no way this Irish dude can beat him.

McGregor is taking a page from the Chael Sonnen school of thought. If you come into the game in loud fashion, playing the WWe-like character card, you will get noticed, appreciated and adored by the UFC top brass.
Like Chael, even if Conor loses a few fights, people will still like him and the UFC will still give him big main event fights, because characters like that are what put asses in seats when it comes to selling out those major arenas. This is why the acquisition of CM PUNK (as stupid as that sounds to me) makes so much sense to Dana White. Bring over a WWe wrestler (who has probably never had a true MMA fight in his life) and with him you will probably stealbring enough WWe fans to coat your pockets during his PPV events (The Brock Lesnar phenomenon).
McGregor has yet to face a strong wrestler. Amazing strikers always fall prey to incredible wrestlers. Anderson Silva was incredibly elusive and moved extremely well, but once he was faced with strong wrestlers like Chael Sonnen and Chris Weidman, we saw what his true Kryptonite was.
Aldo is the full package. His striking is top notch and his ground game is incredibly versatile with an incredible JiuJitsu base and impressive wrestling acumen. I think Conor would have to fight the best fight of his life if he even pretends to stand a chance against Aldo.

nothing more than an Irish Michael Bisping, he will be found out as soon as the competition he faces improves.

AGREED 100%, bispings very good but he will always be a GATEKEEPER,his mouth is what really helped him get the title shots imo.hate to say it but in 5 more years the UFC will be just like the WWE as far as fighters coming out in costumes and playing different characters to juice up their entrance, just like ONEMOREREP said about the brock lesner phenomenon kinda thing of PULLING in all the WWE FANS to fatten up the PPV CARDS

He will KO any wrestler he faces you dumb fucking retard. Have you seen any of his fights on youtube? He's got excellent TD defense now. You fucking suck, bitch. I bet you're one of those retards who thinks cos he lost 4 yrs ago to Joseph Duffy (who is excellent) by being caught in a sub that he can't or hasn't improved since then?? The man is completely obsessed by fighting and analyses everything that happens to him. You obviously can't see real talent when it's right in front of you, imbecile.

haha whos the fucking retard u fucking irish candyass, u can suck my german cock

Marty Champions is taking a page out of True Adonis school of thought.
Jackie Chan, Kareem L Fishburne and Connor McLeod could easily KO these tits.

if they thought he could fight he would be fighting someone who isn't as one dimensional as Silver, lets just leave the conversation for a time when your boy fights someone who isn't hand picked for him , the Irish market for UFC is halved as soon as he's beaten that isn't happening the UFC is a business, Connor is a commodity thats value hasn't peaked yet, as long as he's protected fed stylistic match ups that suit his style and he keeps running his mouth and Irish wankers ;D like you keep buying into it He won't be fighting anyone who's genuine, too risky, they got to much invested.

u definately follow MMA/UFC cause only people really into it would know what the real deal is like u just explained.most fans r in the DARK about the BUSINESS side of THE UFC. the only reason dana brought BROCK over from the WWE was to get his greedy hands on the PPV sales that would go thru the roof when all of brocks little WWE fans started tuning in to watch their hero. just like dana was creaming in his pants when CAIN WON the HW BELT,now dana has the MEXICAN fans tuning in to watch cain. dana couldnt care less about JDS cause BRAZIL is already a wrap,guys like ALDO,ANDERSON,SHOGUN ECT took care of that in the last 5 to 10 yrs. but ireland needed a mcgregor to get them to tune in and watch,im not saying ireland fans didnt watch cause i know ireland is a huge FIGHTING ORIENTED COUNTRY with very tough fighters and irish poeople in general are a tough bunch imo,dana just securing that now with mcgregor and like HONEST just said about JOE SILVA and SEAN SHELBY hand picking pretty much all strikers to keep mcgregor as safe as possible(hes a hot commodity) till the UFC locks down alot of the IRISH FANS and raise his popularity to unheard of proportions and ferttita and dana accomplished what they want and that HUGE PPV NUMBERS from IRELAND and when the UFC goes to ireland MCGREGOR will be leading the charge and headlining the card$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

He is a cash cow for the UFC so of course they're protecting him somewhat so they can get their 50,000 seater stadium fight with Aldo. Are you trying to tell me they were protecting him against Brandao (who was ranked above him), a bjj black belt and Poirier who was #5 in the division when they fought? Next, he's gonna beat Siver (which is a gimme matchup but there was nobody else available). Frankie Edgar probably is more of a threat to McGregor than Aldo because of his elite wrestling and he's just a machine. TBH, the fight with Aldo could go either way but with the supreme confidence and the serious momentum behind him I have to give the edge to Conor.
You fail to see just how dangerous he really is for the 145ers. He has a reach advantage and serious KO power along with awesome footwork and angles.

lmfao. Yeah, Dana was absolutely delighted that his biggest PPV draw in the History of the sport got derailed by a Mexican with no personality. I've never seen Dana more depressed than when he was standing behind Cain being interviewed before he strapped on the belt. Cain is boring, a great fighter but boring and that is not good for the UFC. You need to be marketable and polarizing to put asses in seats.

Strikers are exciting. When they are hand picked matched with other strikers it makes for exciting highlights. The problem is and we have seen this so many times is when they are on the ground being submitted. The Ice Man had great take down defense because of his wrestling back ground but I don't see this with this fighter.

only time will tell, id really like to see mcgregor fight mendes next,or even swanson providing he gets by dennis siver, but who knows?i think danas got something up his sleeve and thats gonna be bringing the UFC to ireland in spring of 2015 and have ALDO VS MCGREGOR SUPER TITLE FIGHT,trust me danas gonna milk this kids popularity for everything he can get outta him. personally i think mcgregor should have to fight a really good GATEKEEPER like mendes or edgar,even swanson id be happy with before the title shot. danas reasoning is them guys already lost to aldo so mcgregor makes the most sense,i can see danas point though in that respect

He tore his ACL against Max Holloway and spent most of the fight on the ground dominating him without any problems.
You're underestimating his TD defense. He's got a solid ground game now also, he's been training under John Kavanagh, a very well respected BJJ black belt for the last few years. People keep saying he's gonna get destroyed when he gets taken down but they're gonna have to taken him down first. Jack Slack is one of the most respected MMA analysts out there and reckons McGregor's the real deal.

Your a good irishman Dave, was just baiting you a bit, but he's got a long way to go, no doubt he looks to have more than a Bisping type fighter, so lets just leave him to the hype for now until he proves us wrong, will be happy to concede later.
