Are you referring to that childish comment he made afterwards?

In a sense, everything that comes out of his mouth is childish. People can get their knickers in a twist or take it on face value.

Makes no difference, Edgar will prob beat Swanson.

i would have cub slight favourite against Frankie..Looking back wasnt Frankie very small for a LW champ?

yourdeadwright · 19-11-2014 4:15pm

Iv a feeling Conor didn't even realise how much of an offensive thing it was to say ,

Conors not getting the next shot according to Dana, take it with a mountain of salt obviously because 24 hours before this he had sad Anderson & Conor would get a shot if they both won.

That is if Cub wins....

And yeah, I dont think he realizes half the things he says until afterward

MartyMcFly84 · 19-11-2014 5:15pm

Ok I think we all agree it wasn't the best thing to say.

Shall we move on? Is Dana now back tracking on a title shot if/when Conor beats Siver?

Its frustrating as a fan I can only imagine if you were a fighter.

I think that's directly related to Conor's comments to be honest. The UFC can't have a champion (if he wins) going around making those sort of xenophobic slurs.

If Cub beats Frankie he def deserves the next title shot but I cant see him beating Frankie. I dont think Dana ever said Conor would be next in line.

I think the exact worlds were if Conor wins the next fight, he COULD get the next shot. Not that he would.
Ditto for Silva's shot at 185.

I think the obvious solution from the UFC part is to remain non committal and hep the matchs sort out the division.

Conor will most definitely get the next title shot with a victory..... No doubt whatsoever!

CurryFlavoured · 20-11-2014 3:13pm

Once Frankie beats Cub and Conor beats Siver I'll be very confident that he'll get the next TS, if Cub wins it's not a sure thing though.

Foxtrol · 20-11-2014 3:14pm

It's actually getting pretty messy at this stage. Dana seems to be going back and forward on who gets the title shot when it suits him and now the promo that aired multiple during TUF last night in the US for Edgar vs Cub had Rogan clearly say the winner this weekend will get a title shot.

In the end they'll do whatever suits them but it would be great if they'd stop promoting two fights within a month of each other as if they're both good for a title shot!

ps3man · 20-11-2014 3:33pm

There are so many fights between the Edgar/ Swanson fight and the McGregor/Siver fight that people will forget about the winner of this weekends fight id say. The UFC want a McGregor title fight, its gonna be a huge payday for them.

smilerf · 20-11-2014 6:47pm

Why don't people think Frankie will get the next shot?

because he fought Aldo pretty recently

CurryFlavoured · 20-11-2014 6:58pm

Edgar, Mendes and Lamas have fought him too recently. It's between Cub and Conor as of now, so if Cub loses it's pretty much Conor's shot.

Exactly, and I can see it pan out that way too.

Devils advocate here,
Edgar fought Aldo as recently as Mendes did. (ie He was directly after Mendes last time)
So this isn't really a reason not to give him a shot. But the UFC could use it as a reason if it suits them.

That isn't true

rolexeagle1 · 21-11-2014 11:48am

If Swanson can put away Edgar within 2 rounds or so he may get the title shot regardless of the McGregor fight. It would take a huge amount to do so, but its not improbable.

Roar · 21-11-2014 11:49am

It's not about who deserves it. It's about which fight will make the UFC more money. That's the biggest factor in their decision.

I have no doubts that if Conor is healthy, they will pull the trigger on him getting the title shot.

End of the day it is a business and the recent S&P report states that they expect UFC revenue to decrease by 40% for 2014. That means they will be ensuring all they can to maximise revenue for 2015 to bounce back.

McGregor v Aldo is much more bankable than Swanson v Aldo.

Ideal for UFC is McGregor to win title from Aldo and then do that grudge maytch between McGregor v Swanson.

P.S. Really like Cub, exciting fighter and a nice guy (spoke to him for a bit at the FN in Dublin, about golf of all things!),... but nice guys finish last!

Overall we agree to disagree!

If McGregor were to beat Aldo (in a fight next summer) there would be an immediate rematch for Aldo. Which probably wouldn't happen until the end of 2015. Swanson or whoever will be waiting a while for a title shot if Aldo lost the belt to anyone (due toe Aldo most likely getting a rematch as he has held the belt for so long). Sure there could be another rising start in the mix by then....

I fully agree that Conor is more bankable than Cub for the title. I never said he wasn't. I also agree that Conor could east be given the shot for those reasons.

I'm just saying that it's not a 100% guarantee, as you made out. And as others have made out.

For a start, Aldo and Cub/Frankie have 2 months headstart on Conor. Say Cub wins, in order to remove the negativity generated by skipping over Cub for McGregor. They book Cub v Aldo for Feb.
Conor is undisputedly the next in line, coming off a win, literally nobody else around to say they were hard done.
Aldo wins. Conor's in the crowd, they bring him into the octagon. The stadium event is announced in June.
The hype train roars.

CurryFlavoured · 21-11-2014 1:11pm

Conor brings in more money but Cub's hardly boring when it comes to marketing. He doesn't talk like Conor but he has the best win streak in the division and has been KOing guys for fun since his last loss. Beating Frankie would be a huge scalp as well, and I think that Aldo v Cub could make for a great fight on the feet. There will be a lot of pressure for Cub to get the shot if he beats Frankie, they could be in talks before Conor has even fought Siver. I don't think he'll beat Frankie though.

i think he will nick it against frankie, ill be having some of that 13/8 its looking pretty generous.

Is it possible to be Irish not a fan of McGregor. I would genuinely shout for the other guy. I suppose that is normal for yanks as they don't always back their own fighters.

Ah yeah, Large sold out in most of the good ones. Still ordered 2, chanced the Dublin UFC walkout in Medium. Bought it up in Dublin, got XL but way too big.
