UFC 212 Aldo vs Holloway: Now We Will See Who Is The Real Cham...Number Two!!!
- Thread starter Mister Wilhelm
- Start date
All Cub Swanson fights are entertaining though so him getting Holloway wouldn't be a bad thing.
Joe's a company man.

He says a lot of dumb things though despite knowing the game.

Holloway already beat Cub so odds are low they fight soon. Frankie is basically guaranteed to get the fight because he's a fresh match up

Joe says dumb stuff all the time. Just look back at all the nonsense he said about Rousey. Using him as a footnote is not really a good idea.
It would definitely be a fun fight. I want my boy Frankie to get his hands on the FW belt but if Cub gets the chance first, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I wouldn't take what Joe says on his fight companion too seriously as they're usually drunk as fuuuuuuck and/or baked to the gills the entire time
He got a title shot after being KO'd in 13 seconds.
They went to JFK pretty quickly after the main event finished

Donald Trump has also been attentive to politics longer than I have. Does that automatically make him right?

Aldo ate some nasty shots on the bottom man
He's beat every top FW besides Frankie.
He's already beat the champ. He has nothing to prove.

Lmao I love (sometimes) how fast they go into the deep endThey went to JFK pretty quickly after the main event finished
By what measure? He has two wins over the current top 10 featherweights, three when Mendes comes back. He did not by any stretch of the imagination clean out the division. He probably would have if he stayed around but that isn't the same as actually doing it.

Yeah, he got fed a few heavy shots.

As far as what goes? Dude has never defened a title. If you consider him a greatest of ALL time, then you're not taking ALL TIME into account.
he beat the two guys fighting for the belt tonight. Anyone else in the division is less talent than them.
Should he come back back just to appease Conor haters?
He's the greatest of now.
All that matters.
Pound for pound greatest of now.

I'd love to see it, Holloway was too green back then. Both fighters have evolved, but I think Holloway evolved more. It would be an interesting fight, but McGregor ain't going back down to 145.
Max could go up. He walks around at 185 according to his camp
145 champ vs 155 champ ala McGregor vs Alvarez.
I'd like to see it.

Who below him should be ranked higher? He's ranked where he should be I think.
Cub's next fight should be Korean Zombie.

Hot damn, Esther Lin's photos are amazing.

He had his moments? Conor absolutely toyed with him and the only reason it went to decision was that Conor popped a knee so kept him on the ground the rest of the fight
But yes he has evolved significantly. But going off that performance, Conor would have demolished him in those first two rounds

Respect to all of tonight's fighters
Yes, moments like:
Conor decisively won that bout, no argument there, but it seems like everyone dismisses the fact that they were BOTH injured. Holloway fucked up his ankle under a minute into the bout.
Only likelihood of a rematch would be Max moving up to 155 for a "superfight". That's if he defends his belt against Frankie.
Wow. P4p consideration with a loss to a Diaz and no backup title defense.
Champ Champ.
zewone thinks Conor is gonna beat Mayweather, do not engage.

Where did you hear that?
That's hard to believe unless he gets fat or some shit.
I was watching a promo thing awhile back, and in it he said himself that he was like 155 towards the end of camp.
Hah.
When he does, it will be a fluke like the Also KO, right?

Gah damnit! Why did Korean Zombie have to get injured.
If he beat Lamas he'd probably be close to a title shot and a fight with him and Holloway would be amazing.

Why do any of you still engage with zewone, he's a blatant troll.
I want some of this Kool aid you're drinking.
Brazil showing once again that they're the P4P worst MMA crowds in the world.

You are right about Conor, might only be because of time, who knows, but your blind hatred of LeBron makes you dead wrong. Every respected basketball writer I see has him at least top 5 of all-time, and most top 2-3. If that's not in the conversation, I don't know what is.
