"Dennis Siver got robbed!"

Is the McGregor Aldo fight going to be in Croke Park? Read that somewhere earlier.

No, Las Vegas I think.

People that think Conor is skipping the queue getting a title shot next need to remember one thing; Frankie Edgar, Chad Mendes, Ricardo Lamas and Cub Swanson all have one important thing in common...

They've all had a shot against Aldo and been beaten by him. They can whinge and moan about Conor all they like, but each of them has had an opportunity to take the belt off Aldo and none of them could pull it off.

McGregor vs. Aldo makes the most sense from a business perspective but from a purely competitive standpoint, he's the highest ranked fighter in the division that hasn't fought Aldo. Had he lost to Poirier, then that accolade would not be his, and we'd probably be looking at Dustin getting the next shot.

That's a very fair point, but is McGregor v Aldo right now, as big a fight as it could possibly be?

Personally think a win over Edgar/Mendes, he'll even Swanson would make Conor v Aldo even bigger.

He's taking a big risk, is the payday as big as could be say 2016? I do actually rate McGregor believe it or not but just feel that he's in no way prepared to take on the top dog in the division, not yet anyway

Dana recently said las Vegas unfortunately

Could be just on the wind up though! I reckon sell more tickets doing a stadium in Ireland. But ppv would be easier from a Vegas perspective and it is the home of big fights. Just have to wait and see!

If you read the post you will see I've acknowledged he has his shot but it's due to the hype he creates rather than his record.

Just shows you how the average irish punter knows f*ck all about MMA when they are foaming at the mouth over a stoppage of Siver, good god almighty

It makes the most sense tbf, true hype is an incentive to make it happen every other potential candidate has lost to Aldo strike while irons hot an all that.

A lot on here are more foaming at the mouth not on the result against the opponent tonight necessarily but coz its a sport they've been watching for yonks with an Irishman about to compete for a title in it. Thats a massive massive achievement in itself.

While I thought Conor would certainly have enough to get victory here, the reality is he fought a guy who done all of his finishing at 155, fair play to him and the lads who made the journey over to support him he didn't disappoint even if some of the chaps attending the Aldo Q&A did

:D

I feckin hate how they send a notification that the presser is now live, and then we sit through half an hour of nothing waiting for Dana and the fighters to arrive.

TheBrinch · 19-01-2015 06:13AM

That was a well deserved win by McGregor! Calm as f*ck the entire time!

Title fight Vegas Memorial Day weekend (May25). He didn't rule out croke park but Id say there's just too much going against it

DrPhilG · 19-01-2015 06:24AM

Hotel booked...

Flights seem pricey unless you do a connection though.

Wrongway1985 · 19-01-2015 06:24AM

Its Vegas UFC187 for sure pretty much

Conor is a pure troll. You can't deny he's got it. Its 6:30am, and I'm here watching a press conference just to laugh at the crap he says.

Provisionally booked 3 different ones, all around $1000.

All good hotels though, and staying for 5 days because the wife will be with me. If I was going solo I'd stay somewhere cheap for 3 nights for probably about $300.

Amazingfun · 19-01-2015 06:46AM

That doesn't sound too bad at all. Wonder if tickets will be hard to get for it?

If you're a Fight club member they get on sale no probs I'd say believe it or not

martyos121 · 19-01-2015 06:52AM

Ah that presser was so cringe! Thought Conor was gonna pass out there at one point. Certainly didn't do anything to dispel the Irish stereotypes, but feck it, he won and he earned the right to have a bitta craic!

Tigger · 19-01-2015 06:56AM

Drinking on an empty stomach x 10
Dana didn't mind but he wrapped it after conor said "we " signed Duffy
