Ramirez Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Is it just me or is this a bit of a set up for McGregor to get an easy victory and string 5 in a row? i would be quite disappointed if he get's a title shot before the winner of Edgar vs Swanson if he just has to beat Siver to get next in line. Siver is nowhere near the level of the top 5 or 6 featherweights and surely McGregor should fight one of those first. what do you guys reckon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siver is nowhere near the level of the top 5 or 6 featherweights and surely McGregor should fight one of those first. what do you guys reckon? I've said it before. McGregor will be the one that steps in once the winner of Edgar/Swanson pulls out due to a mysterious injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 i hate that the UFC seems to have certain fighters they 'give' a way to the title or top contender spots. I understand it from a financial point of view, but it sucks for the other fighters and for most fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck does this fight prove except that the UFC continues to spoon feed moneymakers easy wins? If McGregor is half as good as the UFC pretended then they would have to admit that this is a joke of a fight. I hope Siver surprises McGregor with a spinning heel kick that pops his liver and all this bullshit hype at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I was saying that in the thread about McGregor and a title shot a few weeks ago, glad people are starting to see this now instead of just being fanboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 in my opinion McGregor should have to beat any one of Edgar, Swanson, Bermudez, Lamas or Mendes to get a shot at the belt. getting Siver is a joke.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kracker Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Siver is a good fighter, even though he is a step below the elite of the UFC's FW division, but he'll have a really hard time with the range and agression of McGregor and probably get finished in the first round. That being said I really hope Siver destroys him just to put an end to the hype train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniConor Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Siver is a karate practitioner and Conor mimicks the karate style, it will be interesting for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorio Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Siver is a tough dude and he has very underrated wrestling and grappling. I believe Siver will try to take McGregor down and out-muscle him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Siver is nothing against Mystic Mac! Really hope Siver gets injured before the fight and they replace him with something for his own good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awiley2 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Siver is a tough fighter and has decent grappling, but i don't see him taking Conor down or Conor letting it get out of the 1st. i won't even comment on the title shot because its been settled.

AK47 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 if conor was gonna take a step back he might as well as fought nik lentz, and get some credibility to his takedown defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyMuchacho Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 if conor was gonna take a step back he might as well as fought nik lentz, and get some credibility to his takedown defense Waaaaay too dangerous for the UFC to book him against any wrestlers at this point unless it's for the title with how much hype they're investing in him. Siver can wrestler but he's clearly more of an old standup guy put in there to take some damage and get knocked out after hopefully lasting a round or 2.

Guest Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I actually think Siver doesn't have to win to derail the hype train.. simply giving Conor all he can handle will be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPowell1990 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Kind of a tough spot for Dana here. It seems like he's promised the next title shot to both the winner of Edgar/Swanson and Conor if he wins. Then you have Lamas and Bermudez fighting. Conor wanted a fight quickly to keep the hype train rolling and get more UFC experience IMO. I don't think he is ducking anybody. There was NOBODY else in the top 7 of the divison to fight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was NOBODY else in the top 7 of the divison to fight Nice to meet you TPowell, we arent saying (or at least im not) that Conor is ducking anyone, we are saying that the UFC is protecting him in a sense until he gets his title fight because of the amount of people who watch and money they spend when Conor fights. Its more or less like when any other major sports team is playing in the playoffs, they get the calls because more people will spend money when they win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwang Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I agree with TPowell1990. Not McGregor's fault who he fights. He'd love to face anyone I'm sure. Don't forget: HE AND THE UFC ARE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
