"It was more the UFC [who made the decision].” said Kavanagh. “For me personally, I was very disappointed with how they went about doing it.” “It was a very messy set of circumstances which led to doing it. They lost a main event (at UFC 206) and then they haphazardly threw together a new main event.” “They felt they had to make this for a title in order for it to sell so they brought in another interim title that Jose Aldo already has and then bumped Jose Aldo up to the current undisputed champion. Which just seems ridiculous to me.” “It’s only been 11 months since he won that title. There have been many, many examples of fighters waiting 15 months, 18 months before defending it. He’s 11 months and they stripped him of it.” “I thought it was very shortsighted by the UFC how they went about doing it.”
"Is it getting any closer? I don’t know is the short answer. It certainly wouldn’t surprise me to hear that it’s going to happen. "I mean, for Mayweather, he’s 49-0, I’m sure he wants that 50th fight. It’s a nice number. "Right now ask the average guy on the street, who do they want to see Mayweather fight, what fight is going to get the most amount of interest? And it would be a superfight with Conor. "Stranger things have happened in combat sports than a Mayweather vs. Conor fight. "I wouldn’t be surprised by it. Who knows? It’s one of the many options that are there for Conor so let’s see how the next couple of weeks go. "If the odds were good enough (on it happening) I’d put a few quid on it for next year.”

rusty cole wrote: » I agree totally and also on that 13 seconds "Lucky punch" something that also gets on my wick, some lad mentioned this Aldo lucky punch from McGregor in my job this week. eddie came forward and with the exact same punch, was put on his arse, McGregor even managed to hit him twice with the same blow for good measure. Lets all agree to put this myth to bed... that approach seems to be a quick night for anyone who storms in, aldo tried it and woke up minutes later, eddie tried and was dropped, and dropped, and dropped and dropped and dropped!!
sonofenoch wrote: » Forgetting the 13 sec ko for a moment, ask yourself how Aldo would fare against Diaz and Alvarez .....different weights perhaps but McGregor's not the first featherweight to move up a weight so why not Aldo......he's talking about beating a man who not only beat both but had both on their arses more times than they've ever been in 1 fight .....I really don't believe he'd fare favorably against either tbh .......so now back to that 13 second knockout :rolleyes:
Mellor wrote: » Vulnerability in what way? (Against Siver and Eddie). Siver caught his standing leg and he slipped. I'd consider that to be pretty standard tbh. Catch anyones leg right and they slip. There's a huge difference between that and destroy somebody legs to the point where they can't stand up imo
TimRiggins wrote: » I disagree. I think he'd be eating combinations from Diaz if he got into that range. I also think Nate could hurt him in the clinch. We'll probably never know though.

A little too much is taken out of him getting KO'd by McGregor so fast, without a fight or anything else to go off, all you remember is the punch. Obviously. He is still a superb martial artist and his striking, his movement, TDD and his BJJ ensure he will be competitive against pretty much anybody he gets into the cage with, he isn't going to be going up against WW's ever. 155 is a more natural weight for him, but he doesn't struggle as much as Conor to make 145, I think he comes up to 155 to fight Conor and probably nobody else. He is angling for the money fight again, he knows it isn't going to happen at 145 more then likely, so in his mind, he defends his 145 belt, Conor returns and defends his 155, if both come through they can have a big money fight toward the end of next year. Can't blame him for playing the game, especially when he was so roundly criticised for not playing the game all his career up to this point, when his stuff gets translated to English things get lost and he is clearly not as comfortable as the likes of McGregor at the smack talk part of the business but a toddler can work out what he is doing.
