See I am not sold on Conor yet. If he had went through Edgar, Chad, or even Cub I’d be more inclined to say he deserves a title shot. Yet his last fight was Siver…..come on a huge Siver fan, but beating him to get a title shot……pretty obvious that UFC helped out Conor to get a title shot because Ireland is such a huge draw.
I understand Conor has beat Holloway (decision), Brandao, and Dustin, but to me not a Edgar or a Chad level and wrestling is where Conor will most likely get beat. He has also lost twice, where Aldo has never lost (ok once in 2005, but we know he would destroy that guy now)and fought the best of the best.
Aldo’s wins impress me a lot: Mendes (twice), Lama, Edgar, Faber, Hominick, Florian, and Swanson…..doesn’t get much better than that in his weight class
Not saying this guy does not have skills, but to me this will be his first real test with Aldo. He beats Aldo I’ll give him the props he deserves…till then I wait.
