Its stuff like this where I just sigh and remember the UFC is "money first"
Brown needed a 7 fight streak to GET a #1 Contender fight.
Unknown to a lot of people.
Macdonald won 8 of his last 9 with his only loss to the current champ. He also finished Tarec for the 1st time in his career AND shut down Woodley. WW is FULL of killers.
No personality
Werdum is FINALLY getting his Title shot after a 5 fight win streak where he blasted through some very solid competition. Dispatching Hunt much faster than even JDS did.
WAS generally unknown
Conor Mcgregor beats 3 people outside the top 10 and then Poirier who was #7 or something. Gets a gimme fight vs Siver.
Loud mouth Irishman with heavy hands gets title shot
Im not complaining per say. I would love to see that fight.

Big money fights is what it should be about. Isn't that exactly what people were clamoring for all of last year when DJ was getting booked with Cariaso, TJ vs Soto, and the UFC were just giving us "watered down" cards? Aldo vs. McGregor is the only logical fight if he gets past Siver.

The biggest war Conor McGregor has won is the war of words. He is up the with pitchman Evel Knievel snake river daredevil and PT Barnum, who said there's a sucker born every minute and yes we would all love to see that fight.

People do realize Conor will be 5-0 in the UFC with at least 3 1st rd KOs if he gets past Siver? It would be a much bigger crime if he didn't get the shot at Aldo. For a community so big on the smaller promotions how do you ignore him being the champ coming into the UFC?

Fair point on the last sentence there. I still don't like the situation

Seriously. What's not to like here? Brimage/Diego/Holloway were all solid wins. The Diamond was ranked 5. He blasted him in 1 rd. Siver is top 10 and more importantly available for the Boston card. He's also a pretty tough Steroid stallion. Conor got work to do. He wins and he will have without a doubt earned his shot. That said, it was kinda silly of the UFC to say Cub gets a shot with a win rather than making the fight a title eliminator. Rory? Now that's a whole different story.

Lol
Are you for real? Melendez?
Edgar is on a 2 fight streak where he beat BJ Penn and Cub Swanson
Before that he lost 3 title fights in a row
One of them was a Loss to Aldo
Edgar doesn't deserve anything
Swanson should have got the title shot but he took the Edgar fight and lost
Conor deserves it with another win
And yes @nockyourselfout, @Spidy does have a lot of fans on here

I figured it out. Ol nockyourselfout, took his name to task. Possibly numerous times. He just mad cause he makes no f-in sense. His Hate is strong tho.
Don't matter. The Freight train is coming. Next stop Boston.

Yep. That be my guess. He obviously singling me out. Must have pi$$ed him off in a former life? No sweat off my arse. Mildly amusing at best.

Does it ever end well when Dana White announces this early?

Is Kenny Florian the last southpaw that Jose Aldo fought?

I dont see Siver beating McGregor, but he has a great record against good competition (11-6-1) so who knows?

Siver's best shot at winning is that trademark spinning sidekick, but Conor understands fluidity, so catching him in the right place will be a bit of a challenge.

Those were back in the weaker days of the UFC but I get that my original post has been owned.

Anne Frank-ly I don't think a win over Siver propels him to the front of the line.

I will agree that Connor is much better than GSP, but Anderson Silva??? I'd say that they were pretty equal in their own stylistic way. Granted, Anderson has been out for a while but he was once noted as one of the untouchables.
