There isn't anyway we can very accurately speak to how well Conor will do against the other top guys in the division. I think Sever is a great match up for him stylistically. Conor should own Sever on the feet. Though Sever has shown some love for the TD in his last few fights. I think he'll try to get Conor to the mat and we'll see how Conor deals. However, we don't really know the extent of his grappling prowess. That's a big deal. That question mark really matters when deciding how he does against an Edgar or a Mendes. If he has some solid anti-wrestling and can shuck off those TDs or get back to his feet easily, I think the the 145 division is f---ed. Aldo will be, by far, his biggest test on the feet so if can beat Aldo and show he has sufficient grappling to shut down strong wrestlers, he will be a long time champ. As it sits, we know he's a great striker and has excellent movement and foot work. That's it though. Not much to go on.

Has anyone factored in the difficulty Jose Aldo has making 145?

He's made the weight 25 times and is 25 and 0. He'll be just as good as the guy who beat Swanson, Brown, Faber, Florian, Edgar, Llamas, and Mendes twice.

If this is the end of May PPV, 30th I think, the fight will have to accommodate American PPV times. A 4am fight will mean everyone in that stadium, including myself, will be polluted drunk. Atmosphere will be crazy!

All PPVs are scheduled with the U.S. market in mind. So yes, all of the crazy leprechaun will be smashed out of their gourds.

conor seems to ignore leg kicks in that wide stance of his, lazily checks them like the diaz brothers.
hahahahaha is all i think as i picture aldo's first leg kick drilling into that lead leg. he'll quickly learn that he has his hands full

Yes, but he's had some pretty bad cuts in there, too.
Making 145 has never been easy for Aldo and it's not like it gets easier as you age.

I know - but the question was whether we had consider how the weight cut would affect him in a fight with Connor. Difficult cuts or not, over his last 5 fights Aldo went and thoroughly beat Chad, Frankie, Zombie and Llamas. The current 1-3 ranked fighters in the division and a guy who'd be top 6 or 7 if he was still active.

So, if I am to take you seriously, you're the kind of person who beats people up over words?
So, you're either still a 12 year old and therefore a sociopath or a grown *** person who never outgrew being a 12 year old sociopath. Either way you probably need to stay off the internet. There is only the potential for your rage to be consistently frustrated in here
And the fact that Spidy is about the nicest person on this site really makes the tough guy act even more sociopathic.

On a serious note, why (at least here in US), the Ufc is Only promoting Conor, and not even showing Siver's picture in most of the TV promo's? I think that Siver is being treated like a substitute for the garbageman by his employer. Dey showed Rogan interviewing Conor, they could have shown him interviewing Siver during the PPV as well.
Does Siver Speak English?!?!

I find this amusing, because "Barao is a MONSTER" was a big part of the promotion leading up to Barao-Dillashaw.
No-one in MMA is unbeatable. Not a single fighter.
