                    <p>UFC President Dana White said that Connor McGregor was pretty much the featherweight number one contender, so then why is he taking a January bout with Denis Siver?</p>

“Dennis is an easy contest,” McGregor said today at a UFC 179 Q&A in Brazil. “I like to think of Dennis as a keep fresh, get rich fight.”

“I am the No. 1 contender,” McGregor said. “The next time Jose steps in the octagon after Saturday night will be to face me. In the meantime, I took a fight with Dennis Siver to eliminate another contender. It’s as simple as that.”

Ugh, this guy's annoying as shit. I can't wait for Frankie to get a hold of this chump and expose him.

He took the fight to eliminate another contender? I wonder if he realizes he's not fighting a contender. Phone Post 3.0

Wow, disrespectful and dismissive of Siver.

McGregor is obnoxious. I hope Aldo teaches him a lesson in humility.

11

I like how he's the "break the 4th wall fighter" no "This is gonna be a tough fight" more "Easy fight, just to keep me busy" guy has the cocky heel role down great Phone Post 3.0

why push mcgregor so hard if he's just going to fight siver? not going to complain about the match-up or connor's boasting, but he and the UFC have got a ton to lose here

TwentyNineTwentyEight - Ugh, this guy's annoying as shit. I can't wait for Frankie to get a hold of this chump and expose him.

You do realize that Edgar has his plate full with Cub, correct?

Swanson is not a shot and unmotivated BJ Penn.

That is no easy fight for Edgar.

It will sell out Boston just because it is McGregor and it may bump up Fight Pass subscriptions.

It's also about as sure of a 1st rd. TKO in Conors favor as you can get.

I don't like the matchup and would rather he fight someone that can actually boost his credibility but it is what it is.

15

as always, he is overlooking his opponent and going to lose.

Someone needs to tutor Nate Diaz on this outlook. I'm so glad Nate is back, but I'm terrified he's going to take another long layoff, making demands.

I still think it's going to be a match up that happens down the road.

Like how he lost every fight in the UFC up till this point.

LOL at everyone thinking McGregor is some fucking superstar or something

He was just the 3rd fight on a PPV that did under 200k buys

Headlined 1 card in Ireland that nobody watched

State of MMA in 2014 i guess

He might not be there yet but he's only had 4 fights. If he keeps going like he is and the ufc keeps backing him he will be. Phone Post 3.0
