diaz should have to win 1 fight to get a shot imo, but yeah that would be nuts.. however i think alvarez is a tough out for conor... he wont gas, he can take damage, and he has a lot of power of his own and we saw nate rock conor more than once

maybe Diaz vs Cucuy but diaz did say he only wants big fights


MCgregor vs Alvarez will be a tough one to call

[RScary15]

That was a Conor at WW though. He was dangerous as hell early against Diaz in both fights. At LW his cardio should be awesome but ill assume he gasses late in the third if it goes that far.

I dont think Alvarez will last after taking the big shot by Conor.

id say khabib but khabib would hump the life out of diaz for however long the fight went

[BieberFeverBrah]

Good night, sweet leprechaun.

Thing is Eddie has good wrestler, where as Nate like his brother, would rather just box the whole fight. I am very worried this while turn into Alvarez/Pettis style of fight

[Gringo12]

Connors not leaving much time for prep? Could be back to the old cocky McGregor days

[YesWayNoWeigh]

Lol Conor gonna get destroyed. Fighting a guy his size and isn't a journeyman? Easy money

[d1154802]

eddie would take conor down and grind him out wouldn't be suprise if he wins by gnp.

[EnriqueBrah]

id say khabib but khabib would hump the life out of diaz for however long the fight went

yawn, khabib should retire injury prone and boring as fuk

HNNNG

[superamped]

ez ko for conor

^das it mane

[Gainzzz]

Imagine if this card still had Cerrone/Lawler. Might've been the best of all time on paper.

[jamez123]

****n ufc.. Aldo deserves his rematch, and MSG far more than Alvarez does. Hopefully we get Aldo v Pettis at least.

Last I read this is only a rumored fight, not confirmed. Seems too stacked to have it added on now.

yeah its still listed on the rumors card, Im expecting at least one or two of these fights to be moved to other cards.

Dana doesn't want Diaz v McGregor 3 I listened to an interview with him on Hot 97 and he doesn't like it at all.

But yeah that would be crazy.

Edit: They start talking about Conor around 24:40



Decent interview

[Hardcore_D00d]

Conor in the 1st.
Eddie is tough but he hasn't fought anyone as good or fast as conor yet.

then conor goes back and defend this belt against aldo and destroys him again. then conor vs RDA. and after that conor/diaz 3


O LAWD NEXT YEAR IS GONNA BE AWESOME

I have two bout agreements that bull**** champ refuses to sign. I got used the whole time to make Conor and Eddie get on their knees and beg

[Singularity7]

Dude this card is sickening. I know what day i am calling in sick to work.

Dude wtf happens to Aldo? There is no fukn way that he wins the interim belt and have to fight again.
Holloway fiending for a fight with Aldo which would be Goat.
Love both guys but i have to go Aldo.
Seriously ****ed up though.

[showeverything2]

He should vacate his featherweight belt seriously

[Jameson11]

Pettis doesn't deserve a shot at Aldo yet, but that of course doesn't mean he won't. Aldo vs Holloway is the fight to make

Khabib is pissed lol, and rightfully so. I thought Dana said Khabib was next for Alvarez. As fans we're better off though.

They should add Khabib to the 205 poster, far back in the distance, with his hand reached out toward Conor and Eddie like "what about me?"

[Vayne]

Alvarez will wrestle **** him, Mcgregor doesn't stand a chance.

[Madevilz]

Damn strong card. Keep some for the other events.

[Tuga88]

I think McGregor could beat him if he had more time to prepare. But he's taking this fight 3 months after his war with Diaz.

[sooby]

I think it's whoever can get off their gameplan first. Alvarez is built like a fking tank and he is strong as hell. I don't think Conor is going to be able to handle the grappling/wrestling if it goes to the clinch, but it will be about his TDD which Conor has shown he's gotten better at.

But if Conor catches Alvarez with some of the shots he landed against Diaz it might be good night sweet prince. Alvarez is a very tough dude though.

I say Alvarez by decision.

[Lastro]

I'm very happy with the card and the matchup. However, the belt must be vacated. He's been holding the division hostage for too long

Otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised to see aldo get into talks with bellator lol
