McGregor has said his departure from the FW division is probable after the Aldo fight.
There are several more fun fights for him at 145.... But it'd also be great to see him chase the 155 belt immediately.
What say you?

I'd like to see him move up. Would be great to see him fight at his optimal weight. And great to see the shock in Cowboy's face when Conor connects with his chin. Probably similar to the way he looked when Pettis kicked him to the body.

I would say I want the fighter to fight at the weight he is most comfortable fighting at. If mcgregor is really struggling to make 145 and he feels good about his abilities at 155 sure.
Having said that, weight classes exist for a reason, if he can fight effectively as a big 145, maybe he should stay. 155 is a pretty brutal weight class.
Of course this all revolves around a pretty big if......lol, so I'm not voting

Conor's health won't allow him to stay at 145. He looked like death in the Mendes fight.
McGregor is still young, he shouldn't destroy his body with the weight cut.
Win or lose, he should move up. (I believe he will lose)

Yes. That's how "superfight" happens. If you wait for 2 guys to clean their division, it never happens.
Superfights happen when a champ decide, at some point, to challenge the champ from another division.
Let McGregor get that belt and challenge RDA/Cerrone winner.
It would be a pity if Edgar beats Mendes, but that's life, bruh !

The worst part about this fight is there will either be the "he's the best ever" or "he's the worst ever" threads next Saturday.
I wish we could just celebrate however this epic fight turns out.
I know we can't, I know the trolls will be out regardless. It would just be nice if their internet connections died for a night, so MMA fans could just sit back and appreciate both Aldo and McGregor regardless of the outcome.
WAR Conor and Jose!

Aldo will want his rematch and once he beats him again he will move up.
If Frankie beats Chad then Conor will stay to fight him but if he doesent then what's the point?
He should move up then if that happens, cuz the cut is really tough on him tbh...

Welcome to MMA, where fighters are the best ever or have always been cans. There's no middle ground, ever.

So what happens to the 145 lb belt if Conor wins and immediately moves up? Especially if Frankie wins too?
If Aldo moves up too, you just had Frankie beat Chad... so who does Frankie fight for the belt?
If Aldo stays, do you have him fight Frankie for the belt he just lost? I mean he is the best fighter still there but that's kind of a lame situation.

Conor looked even better as a lightweight than featherweight in cage warriors. Now that the IV ban is in tact, i think 155 is the weightclass for him. In my opinion he matches up very well with the whole division except maybe Khabib, but we dont even know if he will come back.
