Actually, on second thought, Edgar/Aldo is a toss-up.
Absolutely. Their first fight was very competitive and I'm curious to see how Aldo approaches this fight after the KO. Edgar is definitely gonna walk in with a chip on his shoulder, and if that loss reignited Aldo's fire I expect an all out war.

Frankies stance is being overstated like a motherfukker. IT went from wanting to see Connor vs Frankie because Frankies a bad matchup to this stance of Frankie being this hands down number 1 contender.

Frankie lost to Aldo, beat a mediocre Charles Oliveira coming off a KO loss, beat a old, fat, BJ in a fight NOBODY wanted or asked for except BJ, beat Cub Swanson when he was on a streak so thats fair enough. Beat Faber who is not a fukking featherweight and KO'd Chad who Mcgregor had just recently fukked up.

So he beat Cub Swanson, a 135er and Chad coming off a TKO loss. What the fukk am I missing here? People who have done way more than that dont get title shots all the time. fukk outta here

Talking about "Frankies getting a raw deal, UFC dont want Frankie to wear gold, etc"

This is the same Frankie Edgar that got a unneeded rematch with Bendo that he lost and then got a shot at Aldo's belt in his FIRST fight at featherweight coming off a loss :heh:

Who cares about these fukking belts. Connor vs Nate is a great fight, period.

Conor is a fraud and a coward. How are you an active uninjured champion and two guys in your weight class are fighting for your belt on the same fukking card :scust: :snoop:? The UFC know that Aldo will likely win and keep Edgar away from McChicken. I'm hoping to God Frankie wins and Nate wins.
Yeah Connors a fraud and coward for wanting to fight a bigger fighter who's WAY more dangerous than frankie fukking edgar at a higher weight class than he could and should just because he doesnt wanna hear excuses if he lose... :smh:

I swear MMA brings out the dumbest fukking fans, this isnt a WWE storyline. You dont fight Diaz twice, talk about fighting Lawler, GSP, etc if you're afraid of Frankie Edgar you dumbfukk :mjlol:

Thank u for speaking da truth. Frankie hasn't been a big draw in a long time. U feed em 2 aldo, get aldo sum in ring time 2 shake da rust off and bring Connor in ring after fight for a rematch.

If Edgar wins, uve now showcased him over aldo for the casual fans, now u can bring in Connor for a stare down and start the hype train.

Some of you guys are really taking this ufc 200 ish too seriously. Like fox and da ufc really care about having da best 'fights' and matchups. 200, 201,239 it's jus a number, ufc is an entertainment company jus like Vince and WWE. They gonna put da fights dat they cn sell now and or setup future money. It's a hype fest, dis ain't like nba or nfl where u get best team vs 2ne best tm. U get hype up vs hype up and ufc mks 99% of da money and always wins.

Every1 callin dana Vince McMahon they both rich owners of entertainment companies, and use their position to hype market fights. So no wonder they both seem da same.

I'm not really a huge Edgar fan but go back and watch that second Bendo fight, Edgar won. That's why he was gifted a title shot after dropping to FW

1. Nate Diaz is a lightweight and so is Conor

McChicken is a former Cage Warriors lightweight champion, and it's WELL KNOWN that he struggles to make weight at 145 (looks like Skeletor). He weighed 1 pound less than Nate at "welterweight", which was pretty much an open-weight fight. 169 over 168 makes you a bigger fighter :mjlol: :dahell:? Nah, McGregor finally fought someone his own size (a fellow lightweight) in a freak openweight bout on 2 weeks notice and got tapped out :mjlol:.

2. Frankie Edgar is a wrestler, and a world champion level fighter

And he mauled Mendes, who with 2 weeks notice gave McChicken all he could handle. He excels at McGregor's weakness (wrestling), and that alone makes him the far more dangerous fighter. It's no secret Conor's ground game is mediocre, and Edgar who wrestled and dominated BJ Penn on the floor can and most likely will tap out McGregor when (not if) the fight goes there. McChicken was doing fine against Nate until that second round, and got himself tapped out by going for a shot on a BJJ black belt while he was gassed (that take down attempt was all on him). Frankie will put him there against his will and beat the hell out of him.

Nate is a contender, but Frankie is an ALL TIME top MMA fighter and a former UFC champion, which brings me to...

3. Frankie Edgar is the former UFC lightweight champion

He only lost to Maynard and Henderson in VERY VERY VERY close, contested fights that went the distance. Gray is one of the biggest LW of all time and Benson is a current WW to give you an indication. Frankie is a proven better lightweight fighter than Nate Diaz, you must of forgot who he is and what he's done in the sport :usure:.


Yes MMA does bring out the dumbest fans, and you're one of the very best examples :umad:.

I disagree, Frankie got fukked over, He's very deserving of a title fight at this point. dude has put in decent work since the aldo loss, every time they needed him like teh Faber/BJ fight's he did it no question asked.

Cub at the time was on a tear with his six fight streak(pearson,stephens,Prioior to name a few) and he took care of him with ease. Then many thought that Chad was the best FW behind aldo and was the first to show that mcgregor was beatable. outside of the GOAT knee from Aldo, Chad has never been KO clean like that. Now frankie got some hands.

at this point, what more he gotta do? Mcgregor not defending his belt further holds shyt up and its not comparable to Anderson who really did clean out the division

:what: Just imagine if Conor wins Nate get's no rematch? I hope put's in a clause into that contract should there be no rematch within two years he get's paid a few millions

The rematch between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor is official for the main event ofUFC 200 -- and as expected, nothing much changed.

Just as the two rivals met at UFC 196 in a welterweight non-title affair, their UFC 200 rematch will be contested again at welterweight, several pounds above the respective lightweight and featherweight divisions Diaz and McGregor often compete at. And according to UFC president Dana White, that's because McGregor wouldn't have it any other way.


"After the fight, Lorenzo (Fertitta) and I went up to Conor's house that he was renting here in Las Vegas and started talking about, ‘what are you thinking, what's next?' And he was obsessed," White said Wednesday on ESPN. "Obsessed with fighting Nate Diaz again.

"Obviously Lorenzo and I tried to argue with him and say let's go back down to 145 and defend your title, or if you really want the Diaz fight that bad, do it at 155. And he wants to fight at 170. Even his coach, Coach (John) Kavanagh, tried to get him to get off this rematch and off the 170-pound fight, but it's what he wanted."

McGregor remains the UFC's reigning featherweight champion. The Irishman suffered a stunning defeat against Diaz at UFC 196, submitting to a second-round rear-naked choke in a fight that Diaz accepted on just 11 days' notice following the withdrawal of Rafael dos Anjos.

The booking of Diaz-McGregor 2 has drawn mixed reactions from fans since MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani first reported it on March 18, however White said that McGregor's past willingness to accept short notice fights played a part in the UFC's decision-making for July 9.

"Conor McGregor is a guy who has had fights fall out seven days before he's supposed to defend his title, and he steps up and he takes on all comers," White said. "The guy fights anybody, anywhere, anytime. He's stepped up on late notice and done the these things. He wants this Nate Diaz fight? We'll give it to him. We'll make Frankie (Edgar) and Jose (Aldo) for the interim title, and whoever wins that fight will then fight Conor McGregor for the 145-pound title."


While many have questioned whether McGregor will ever return to the featherweight division, White made it clear that the UFC expects McGregor to defend his title against the winner of Aldo-Edgar 2 next, regardless of the outcome against Diaz at UFC 200.

"Win, lose, or draw against Nate Diaz, he will go in and he will fight either Jose or Frankie," White said. "Whoever wins at (UFC) 200."

Frankie is the unstoppable terminator now.....when did this happen Sway :dwillhuh:

Smh forreal connor is my nikka but he's been a gift and a curse for this section of the forum. I swear I've never seen so many hating and straight up retarded posts since he started poppin. This shyt is starting to remind me of the booth during a drake album cycle. :snoop: where the fukk did all these sherdog ass casuals come from

Fighting a dude bigger than you, who has his biggest strength in your area of weakness, WHO JUST BEAT YOU is about as anti coward as it gets. But leave it to these keyboard warriors who concede that they'd let ronda rousey push their shyt in to call a champion a coward :mjlol: fall back
