mcgregor hype is ridiculous

I think the dude is legit top5 at this point and a real contender, but hes getting asked about what superfights he wants once he wins the belt? His coach even came out and said he will be a 2 division champ how about working on getting a title shot first at this rate they might as well throw this dude in the HOF now and save time. Am I the only one who thinks this hype is getting silly?

WRESTLENOW - I think the dude is legit top5 at this point and a real contender, but hes getting asked about what superfights he wants once he wins the belt? His coach even came out and said he will be a 2 division champ how about working on getting a title shot first at this rate they might as well throw this dude in the HOF now and save time.

His coach actually said he would be a THREE division champs. Get you facts straight, bow down, and kiss the feet of the GOAT.

The thing is, he truly believes that he is that great, and every time they give him a step up in competition he dismantles his opponent (not counting the fight where he blew out his knee) and backs it up. So you can either wait tell he fails, just to be able to scream I TOLD YOU SO! Or, you can get on board with watching someone who is just as charismatic as he is dominant.

That is unless of course you would like to point out a fundamental flaw in his game that you think will be his undoing unless it gets fixed. If you have a technical critique then sure, it is fair to say he is overhyped and he is about to be exposed. Barring that however, it just sounds like "I don't like him and people who do, are only being fooled by the hype". Phone Post 3.0

he is a breathe of fresh air in a stale era

I think Chad beats him but that's the only guy I see beating him. Phone Post 3.0

No sometimes we can just tell when someone has it. McG has it ... for now. Eventually the positive aspects of his style will be studied, dissected, and replicated. Phone Post 3.0

Conor hasn't fought a dominate wrestler like Frankie or Chad. I'm a fan of his and all but I can't see him not spending serious time on his back in either of those fights. Phone Post 3.0

Not really a fan but he does bring some excitement to the 145 division that is pretty scarce in terms of personality. Phone Post 3.0

I want to see him fight the loser of Aldo v Mendes at a stadium in Ireland and then if he beats that guy, a title shot would be more than deserved. Phone Post 3.0

Before last night Nik was ranked higher than Conor... I think what we are seeing is crafty match marketing for Conor.

8 Nik Lentz

Yeah but like you said that's before Conor beat the number 5 guy. Gotta put Connor at the 5 spot and Lentz should probably fight Dustin. If I was Conor should only look to fight up not down. Phone Post 3.0

That makes the most sense. I think he fights Also/Mendes loser while Cub/Edgar winner fights for the strap. Then if Conor wins he gets a shot. Phone Post 3.0

Has Nik Lentz really been calling out Conor for 2 years? He obviously didn't make much noise about it if he did.

You'd have the loser of a title shot potentially knock off a title contender? Well I can see why you aren't the UFC match maker.

Who was that one guy talking about being a two division champ who had a ton of hype before winning even one belt?

What was his name again?

Oh ya Brandon "the truht" Vera what's that guy doing these days?

Not saying he can't do it but stop the hype and actually worry about the challenge of the division your in. Phone Post 3.0

VU Galanis, great post. Even the haters have got to appreciate and recognize his movement/style are unique.

You do understand how matchmaking works right?
#5 Conor
#1 Aldo v #3 Mendes
#2 Edgar v # 4 Swanson

Who would you have him fight? The Winner of Edgar v Swanson? Because that would actually be retarded.

He's the #5 guy, a title shot only comes after he beats a top 3 guy. Barring injury, the winner of Edgar v Swanson gets the title shot so who does he fight instead of the loser of Aldo/Mendes that keeps him moving up the ladder genius? Phone Post 3.0
