Poopyface TomatoNose - I could envision a crystal ball that plays theoretical match ups of Conor and Urijah where Conor gets guillotine choked 10 different times at different points, in fast forward with the Benny hill theme.
I can't help but feel like Faber would get caught multiple times, ofc he can choke out anyone in MMA, BUTT that CHIN would get tested before he gets the chance.
Also lucky they didn't match him up with a guy like Guida. Non stop cardio, good chin, and great wrestling. Prob would have been a decision but he would have won. UFC won't let Guida derail another hype train though, after Pettis.
The Black Cheez - Conor probably hits harder than Mike Brown and his technique is far better. Urijah will have major problems with Conor imo. Maybe I'm just a nut hugger though
Slash - After the last Saturday I kind of agree. Uriah has one of the biggest hearts in MMA. I'd like to see McGregor face adversity and overcome it.
didn't catch the Mendes fight?
Urijah has better cardio than Mendes, better gnp than Mendes, much better submissions than Mendes, and wouldn't be under the illusion that he can strike with Conor.

Why do people still use MMath? WHY?!?!
I don't think that you understand what MMA math is.
Bisping beat Silva who beat Griffin, so clearly The Count would beat Forrest. That is MMA math.
Saying that a guy got knocked out by someone who doesn't hit nearly as hard as fighter "x", isn't MMA math, it's simply breaking down the theoretical matchup.
I don't think Faber wins that fight. Maybe I am wrong but Conor is much bigger and has better stand-up. If Faber can control him on the ground, he couId win.
I think at this point Conor would win this fight. The big overhand right Faber likes to throw will get him eating uppercuts all night, he can't jab his way in or risk walking into the straight left.
Conor was able to circle his way off the cage against Diaz who is a lot bigger. Conor is also ok at the scrambles, we saw a sweep from him against Diaz although Nate might have been a little reckless??
If it gets Faber paid and he's up for it I'd buy it though, I just wouldn't be surprised motherfuckers.
