One of the ONLY reasons I am OK with the McGregor Mendes fight if because i think McGregor should of fought one of those 3 guys (Edgar, Mendes, Lamas) before getting a shot at Aldo... so, I am getting what I want now...
it's blown my mind how they could of picked Mendes over Edgar for the interim title fight... yes, he did better in his more recent fight against Aldo... but at the end of the fight, it was still obvious who won... and it wasnt too long ago... he is on a 1 fight winning streak?? lol... nice reward for winning 1 fight in a row buddy... yeah, at the time the decision was made, he was apparently ranked number 1 contender, but since when has that been the deciding factor?
I can not remember when Edgar (now ranked number 1 contender) had a poor performance.. 4 fight win streak? which sounds a deal better then a 1 win streak.. and in his last 3 losses (to Aldo, and Henderson x 2) he was no where near dominated, actually, they could of went the other way without much of a shock.
McGregor went from ranked infinity to ranked 3 by fighting nobody worth moving him past 10? when they booked the Denis Siver one, wasnt he ranked 11? lolwut? I do not even think he is deserving of a shot at the title... but at least with this fight against Mendes, if he wins.. i could put my hand over my heart and say he would deserve a shot at Aldo (though, would have the interim.. blah!!)...
Anywhos... im not the most studied MMA supporter.. so i could be way off base, but thats how i feel about it ~
