bjornmma1 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 http://www.bjpenn.com/dana-white-conor-mcgregor-is-the-logical-1-contender/ I don't agree. he has the hype, momentum, and maybe also skills, but he should still be behind Cub Swanson and maybe also behind frankie edgar.

Guest Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Swanson vs Gregor. Edgar is boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce7 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 My Top 5 Contenders look like this 1. Swanson 2. Mendes 3. Edgar 4. McGregor 5. Lamas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coton81 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 problem is aldo has beaten everyone in the top 6 except conor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce7 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 problem is aldo has beaten everyone in the top 6 except conor True, but each one can make a case as to why they deserve another shot (other than Lamas). Mendes had the controversial fence grab that more or less turned into a Knee KO. Swanson and Aldo fought 5 years ago and Cub has come a long way since that fight. Edgar was probably the last guy to actually challenge Aldo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shards Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think the answer is pretty clear: Edger vs Swanson Mendes vs Lamas Edger will then rematch the winner of Mendes vs Lamas Aldo vs McGregor Both Aldo and McGregor will then rematch Edger.

edgehead Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I like McGregor but he should have to get one more win, there's no way you can really put him ahead of the Swanson vs Edgar winner. I'd rather see McGregor take on either Lamas or KZ if possible before getting the title shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb613 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Let's see how Aldo mendes plays out and go from there, we then have winner of Edgar Swanson, and put mcgregor in with lamas, winner of that should face the winner of Edgar/Swanson vs Aldo/mendes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 McGregor will get a title shot before he has to fight a wrestler. I think any of Aldo, Mendes or Edgar would handle him fairly easily. Swanson would probably beat him, but that would be a closer fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 i would like to see mc Gregor vs Lamas as his next fight. should be a fun fight ! The ufc wants him to be the next champ because of his popularity , but once he faces a wrester (like JLP says), things could turn out ugly for him.

Lefty Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Swanson deserves it more no doubt. It would be wrong for McGregor to get a title shot before Swanson does and its fucked up if this goes down. Totally wrong for a guy to get that shot just because he has more hype when another man is on a 6 fight win streak. Have we forgotten? No! But Sir Dana of White just wants to make the most money. We should have known guys! I mean that's just the whitest thing you can do... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyosullivan Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Edgar vs McGregor would be a great test for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I would actually like to see him fight Lamas first. a standup fight and then let him face a wrestler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacman Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Swanson vs Edgar winner should receive the next title shot. I think if Mendes loses he should fight McGregor to give him a real test against a wrestler. If he wins then he gets the title shot. No way McGregor deserves a title shot right now; it would be complete bs if he passes the Swanson/Edgar winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The UFC obviously knows the monetary value of having mcgregor fight meaningful fights, thats why he probably will get a shot sooner than he should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb613 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I want to see mcgregor lamas actually, I think he will win but it's also a win win situation, if he takes that fight then he can face the winner of Aldo mendes and the UFC gets to cash in, plus Edgar vs Swanson can go down and it's too early for Edgar vs Aldo II to go down TBH, and I don't see Swanson beating Edgar if I'm honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramirez Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Swanson deserves the next shot by a mile, very suprised he has to fight Frankie next.... In my opinion McGregor needs to win 2 more fights before facing Aldo as he has beaten nobodies before fighting Poirier. i'd like to see Aldo vs Swanson and Mendes vs McGregor (assuming Aldo defends his belt). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgehead Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 If McGregor gets the title shot over the Swanson edgar winner I'm going to be legit offended. I'm sick of Dana pulling shit like this I'm not sure how many fights is on either contract but if I was edgar or Swanson especially Swanson I'd tell Dana if McGregor gets the shot over me I'm done with the UFC. Straight up I wish fighters would stand up for themselves like that if more did the UFC would stop pulling shit like this over and over, If McGregor is as good as his hype Dana wouldn't mind giving him another fight. Dana isin't stupid though he knows anyone ranked above McGregor probably defeats him soundly. I'm actually a McGregor fan though and after his last fight I think a lot of the hype is warrented but he should definitely have to win one more, even if they don't want him facing a wrestler at least one more top ten win before the title shot EDIT: Only way I wanna see Conor get the next shot is if Aldo moves up after the Mendes fight (if he wins) then we see McGregor vs the Swanson Edgar winner for the Vacant title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea so would I didn't really think of that scenario, ideally I'd like him to get another win though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 What Aldo said about how Mendes is being disrespected right now is true,hes overlooked... Title shot this month but everyone is talking about Conor. But i think Conor is underestimating Mendes with his latest comments,kinda makes me want to see that fight between Mendes and McGregor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
