Randomly though of this but how do you guys see an Aldo vs Nate match going if they fought twice
Both at 170 or below

Is 1 decision win over Frankie really enough to redeem a 13 second KO though?
I mean RDA didn't get a rematch.
Robbie didn't get a rematch .
Rockhold didn't get a rematch
Werdum discovery get a rematch.
Does Conor deserve a crack at the 155 belt? Maybe not, but every card he headlines is a new record, he got Dana at his mercy
Should he defend the 145? Yes
But at the end of the day the fight vs Alvarez makes more financially for the UFC
So Dana is willing to bend over backwards for Conor and Ronda cause they're "needle movers"
It ain't right, but it is what it is.

these dudes havent even fought since losing so what do you mean they didnt get a rematch?
just read that werdum fought, you dont know that hes not getting a rematch though
i dont get what youre saying here
are you saying, "well its just a sham and we just have to accept it" ? is that what you're saying? cause i accept that
no doubt in my mind that this guy is staying at 155 even if he loses, its a sham

Nate already made Conor small
Aldo would not be able to close the distance
Aldo is a true 145
Conor and Nate are true 155
Financially for Aldo, Pettis makes the most sense

Immediate rematch
If those fighters win a decision in their next fight do they deser A rematch?
Again does a decision over Frankie erase a 13s knockout?
So UFC clearly favoring Conor but sham is a stretch
If you guys were Dana and your objective was to make money, what would you do?

aldo should get a chance to get his belt back, the ufc made an interim belt for a reason. The division doesn't have a real belt because the guy who has it might not even defend it.

aldo didnt get an immediate rematch
the thing now is, he's not calling for a rematch with conor
he just wants the real 145 belt to go back in play, whether it be against conor or whoever, but dana isnt going to do that because he has to protect it with conor
if my objective were to make money, daniel bryant would be headlining 205

None of those guys had the reign that Aldo did but I do agree with everything
Dana is such a clown everything he says is pure trash and illogical
I'd respect him more if he just came out and said he's doing what makes the most money

- this is someone telling me that what's going on with the featherweight and lightweight titles is legit
about as legit as 0-0 fighter winding up on the main card, my bad 573-48-317
Last week, Josie said I want out of my contract I don't want to fight anymore
This week, Josie well of I'm going to fight again I want money fights which is why I don't want to fight Holloway
Justify what ever you'd like about him "seeing the sham" but at the end of the day this turned out to be a money grab
And it's going to be interesting to see how he reacts if Dana says welp you're already under contract.
Because now Josie is doing what you're complaining about Conor doing and that's ducking a legit opponent. Only difference here is Comor has a win over Josie and Josie doesn't have a win over Holloway.
It just looks like Josie wants no part of Holloway in the octogan.

Come on now, Aldo was king and champ of the 145 division for how many years? He got caught, anyone can get caught. That doesnt erase he was one of the most dominant champs ever. My problem with conor is that he has absolutely no interest in fighting at 145 but wants to be call champ?
He should be stripped, but like many have said the guy has a lot of power over the ufc right now.
I dont think aldo deserves a rematch, i think he deserves to be call the champion not interim champ. Not his fault conor doesnt want to defend the belt

the only reason its a money grab now is because the ufc's not living up to their end to aldo
what happened to conor's losing the title if stays at 155?
just say you like that conor's being protected and be done with it

Conor is being protected in terms of keeping the 145 belt but he certainly isn't being protected opponents wise
He was scheduled to face rda, he fought Nate at 170 and now facing Eddie

thats my beef
he's free to fight at 155 while his 145 title is protected
there's no "conor proved everything hes had to at 145, no one left, he's 'cleaned it out' go ahead and relinquish the belt," nope, he remains the champ without defending for marketing
see, thats what they tried to do with aldo, youve proven everything give up the belt, its why hes pissed now
its a sham

It's an unfortunate situation I suppose but I'm not losing any sleep over it. You're acting as if this is the first time ever that Dana White didn't keep his word.
Right now those guys are trying to squeeze every dollar they can out of Mystic Mac
Keeping the 145 title is a nice insurance policy for Dana and the bosses in charge. Now if Conor losses against Alvarez, you can go away and promote his return to 145 and get another huge buyrate out of it.
And then if he wins, barring that he doesn't decide to take a year off, you have the first ever UFC 2 Division Champion. And I fully expect that Dana will go against his word and let Conor keep both belts as long as his next fight is at 145.

said Conor isn't fighting bums. If he was going around fighting a bunch of jobbers then sure be as outraged as you'd like.But Josie isn't a needle mover. Josie trying to get his money, more power to him but let's acknowledge that is what his complaining came down to.
