    pissed off aldo is never good, lol. I still revisit how cold his demeanor was at the end of the 1st round of the second Mendes fight when he fired those series of shots and then just stood there like a boss.

    I am well aware of Aldo's issues with ufc pay and he keeps on saying that conor is a joker and this is just money in his pockets but I don't know, after seeing that video above, it looks very apparent to me that Aldo would absolutely love to [Mcgregor]take his head clean off[/Mcgregor] as soon as possible

    this could fire him up and bring back that wec killer instinct he had

    could be a win/win for him so if he gets to shut someone up he f---ing hates & gets to collect a big paycheck at the same time

    Conor could be the best thing to happen to Aldo. This will be his biggest pay day by a long shot.

    Or worst.

    Imo conor has great stand up, and mandez proved that great stand up can trouble aldo.

    Not far fetched to say that conor could Ko him in a couple'a
    Rounds.

    Hector Lombard suspended for failing that drug test in January. He's suspended until January 3, 2016

    Well yes when i said "could" it was obviously assuming he won. His PPV's do sightly above 200K buys and this one could do 600K. He wins and hes a lot more popular of a fighter.

    It's a good feeling knowing that we're going to get 2 full Embedded sets for Aldo/McGregor. This and fight week.

    So excited for this fight, I really don't think Conor wins but he is certainly a threat. It's kind of a shame that Lawler/Rory gets so overlooked though, pretty stoked for that fight as well

    ya of course.. Just saying. Conor could prove out to be stylistic kryptonite for Aldo.

    Dillashaw out with a fractured rib. Card is gonna be sweet when Rampage inevitably gets pulled. Should be good for the seemingly dying Canadian fan base.

    M.E. is pretty weak, rest of the card is still pretty good. But thats with Rampage, i dont have any faith that he remains on the card. Could see the UFC moving the Cummins/OSP fight to this card.

    Brock was just on ESPN officially ruling out a return to the UFC. Was hoping to see one more fight with Mir.

    Also Kelvin Gastelum vs Nate Marquardt at MW in Mexico
