Conor has entered the p4p rankings at number 14.
That pushes Johnny Hendricks out of the list and moves Edgar down to 15th.

Gunni up to 11 too.

How does the p4p rankings work ?

They don't! They make zero sense.

Shows balls.ie and entertainment.ie up as the tabloid amateurs that they are. How could any half decent website run with something like that without even the most basic of fact checking?

They both carried fairly hysterical stories based on those fake Aldo quotes.

RIP Journalism.

No time to fact check. Just get it up online and watch the clicks roll in. Really poor form.

From what I can see the story originated from a post on Reddit

Based on a collection of mma journalists rankings I think. So a lot of its their opinion.

Panic E · 14-07-2015 07:25PM

Here's what Aldo did say on Rock Bola:

We will run through him no matter when the fight happens, but his time will come. When it does, you can be sure we will smash him.

I’m still recovering, should be back to training in two weeks. I’ll do more exams. As soon as the doctor clears me, I’ll be back to training.

A colection of journalists from around the world pick their top fighters in each division and also pick their P4P lists.
The official rankings are simply an aggregation of those lists.

It's all highly subjective, as P4P isn't really a tangible concept. Plus people are are affect too much by recent fight cards.

Its always a bit of a mess alright but I'm figuring since its not taken that seriously the UFC won't hesitate to promote Conor in anyway they can.

The UFC have any say in the lists as far as I'm aware.

Couldn't convince anyone to go to vegas for the 11th so I ended up not going. Now i'd nearly consider going alone to the Aldo McGregor fight like a loser :P I just hope I'd be able to find people to have the craic with.

I travelled by myself for it and had better craic than if I had gone with a group. Was able to do what I wanted when I wanted. Everyting I attended , Expo, Dropkicks gig, weigh in, Fight and after party I met a bunch of people I was able to chat with and have the craic with.

That included Irish fans, US fans, locals from Vegas, fighters I got to chat to and Arnie!

Carroller · 15-07-2015 08:24AM

I really wish they would just announce when the Aldo fight is.. Very close to booking for new years

Sounds unreal fair play

Hmmm, I might just risk it for the Aldo fight

Thanks for that

I just feel like i'd be skulking around on my own :P

"I will wipe the tears with my money".
That is a lot of wiping: 4.6 million dollars allegedly.

I am not the biggest fan of UFC but fair play to him.

I know Dana makes promises and routinely breaks them but Christmas might be put on the back burner for a few people. Says Aldo vs McGregor could be in AT & T Stadium in Dallas in December. Could potentially fit 100,000 for the fight :eek::D:D

mel123 · 19-07-2015 07:55PM

Anyone know when they are likely to announce the venue and date for the fight?

vapor trails · 19-07-2015 09:17PM

I am going to make one prediction about Conor McGregor.

Himself and Dana White will at some stage have a major falling out.

Nah...Dana and his biggest draw falling out, never

dave1982 · 19-07-2015 11:15PM

Tito Randy were huge draws both now disowned

Thegalwayman · 19-07-2015 11:27PM

I still think vegas is favourite for that. The MGM will pay for it

Tssk · 20-07-2015 01:00AM

Tony McGregor is gonna be on the MMA hour with Ariel Helwani tomorrow. Get ready to cringe!

And sure what harm does he do to anyone?

A very very (justifiably) proud dad. Nothing at all cringy about that. I thought he was absolutely brilliant in the bit he did with Gareth A. Davies in the run up to the fight with Mendes.

I take it you wont be subjecting yourself to listening to it if you find it so cringey, so dont let it bother you ;-)

I don't think it's a stretch to say he's cringey - doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I'm sure most peoples fathers have cringey moments but I wouldn't think less of them for that. Chris Weidmans father is another example - I've no problem with him being proud of his son but when he roars at Joe Rogan " THAT'S MY BOYYYY" -- we'll that's as cringey as it gets. Its just them having fun and enjoying the ride but to say it's not cringey wouldnt be totally honest imo.

Ariel really is milking the McGregor angle for all it is worth. 10 year kid scheduled last week and now Conors Da. God help us next week.
