Most all fighters cut 10 to 20 lbs off what they walk on the street 10 lbs heavier don't make or break your skill set. The only fighters who don't cut weight for the most part is heavy weight. I ain't no betting man but I would say he would do just as good at 155 vs 145 becuz as you say he will be able to hit harder with ten more lbs lol. There are good fighters at all classes some guys can fight in two but most can't but his true test is coming up shortly so will see

McGregor presents a unique challenge to the 145lb class with his height, reach, and style. He is a lefty as well. A very unique fighter in that weight class. Aldo is a great fighter and a true champion. He has been on top of that class for a long time. All fighters lose at some point. Aldo's quickness against MCGregors size and reach should make for an interesting fight. I look for Aldo to employ a " sugar ray Leonard" approach. Make McGregor chase him. Frustrate McGregor into pressing and make a mistake. If he lets McGregor get confident early, it will be a bad night for him. I could see Aldo by decision or McGregor by KO or TKO.

Well they said on fox sports that aldo might not fight due to bruised ribs if he can't chad Mendez will fight. Will see what happens sounds like a guy thinking he might lose so he is throwing a reason out there before hand lol just in case

Well aldo pulled just like McGregor predicted 4 months ago lol. I think the Mendez fight will be better I don't see it lasting long McGregor will probly knock him out early with the style that Mendez has head out going forward. Imo the only chance he has is to clinch as fast as possible go to take down and hold him as long as he can lol

This will mcgregor's highest quality opponent to date. We'll know if mcgregor's talent lives up to his hype. Whoever wins will be matching Aldo soon enough. It appears Aldo has a history of pulling out of fights with injury, but he sure has had a long unbeaten streak. Should be interesting, but I think mendes will surprise people.

Aldo has pulled out as many times as he has defended so I think Mendez is a better fight any way. I think Mendez will come straight out go for take down and throw the same right hand he always does proly get knocked out by a right head kick or a straight right with left hook just my observation. If he gets a take down and let's conor up he will probly thro those crazy elbows as he gets up. I think the best chance Mendez has is to clench and just thro haymakers

Mendes has impressed me with his hand speed and striking at times. And his mama wrestling is top tier. Should make for a good fight. We'll see if mcgregor's worthy of all the hype. I know Dana is really pushing mcgregor's, it's a good business strategy as ufc tries to open even more markets across the globe. Another point of interest as far as ufc goes, is how the monopoly lawsuit will turn out that has been filed

Yes sir! I might come out of pay per view retirement for this one!
-
I think McGregor is just too big for the guys in that weight class. It could get really interesting if Mendes can find a way to get inside and/or get him to the ground.

I'm pickin McGregor by KO in the second. I think he has a chance to be the Andersen Sylva of the 145lb class. Mendes is a top shelf fighter. I just don't see how he will be able to get to McGregor. Should be fun to watch.

Wow what a card. Looks like this man is the real deal. Hats off to Mendez he took him down but could not do much from what I seen It took all of his strength to hold em down but the very first shot was imo the winning strike. Chad hit him with his hardest shots didn't even back the dude up. Big props to Mendez for the no excuse comments after the fight.

Last night's UFC card was very good!
Gunner is what I feel is a very good fighter! He was fighting someone like Conners, the guy was huge for the class, long legs and arms, good striking and kicking skills! Gunner trains with Conners, so he knows how to handle long and strong! Keep distance, explode in on your opponent with clean strkes, take him to the ground, and say good night!! Very calm, confident fighter! And sick ground skills! He was like a snake, going from one control to the next till he sunk in the choke! He was very impressive!
Fight of the night was Roy and Robbie! Rory should of won the fight when he had Robbie out on his feet! Rory should of stepped back and started leg kicking then dropping the combos with elbows, slipped him to the ground and finished it!
I am not as impressed with Conner! He is 20-25lbs bigger then his weight class, very tall and long for the class, keeps his hands to low, and really has no ground game. Definitely confident, some very clean striking and kicking skills, great condition, and makes other fighters fight his fight.
Chad was out of shape bottom line!! He had 2wks to take the fight! He is a class act!! No excuses and thanking everyone!! Need more like 5hat in sports today!!Had no problem hitting Connners, and taking him down! Unfortunately he had no gas in the tank to do anything once he got him down, is to short, and ended up just standing in front of Conners. I feel Edger would of been alot better fight! Edger has Crazy conditioning, takes a a$$ whooping like nobody, very good hands and movement, great ground skills, and is a grinder!! Always pressureing with fist, elbows, and kicks, till he takes you to the ground!! Problem he will have is he is short as well, but he would not run out of gas!!
It's going to take a very well conditioned, well rounded, confident fighter to take Conners, and it's not Aldo!!

TazD you bout right on all that but I think Conor's ground game is better than we think cuz Mendez is as good as they come on taking you to the ground. Conor will destroy aldo like a pit bull on a piglet lol. Gunner was very impressive you can tell they train together. Lawler was just to tough for Rory not the better fighter just more grit. We can always say well this and that but bottom line is the winner won. I think conor will fight aldo then Mendez vs edger winner vs conor I say Mendez will win that fight. Then it will be rematch with Mendez and you will see what a full camp will do. I want to see Conor at 155

I agree Judge. Conner will do 2 more fights at 145lb. Make 10-15million, then move up to 155lbs, and make some more till he meets his match, like all good fighters do!! Lol..

Ya tazD when you truly under stand the skill and techniques of these guys you know what a foot turned means vs hand position where your hips are in relation to your opponent. The biggest thing a fighter can have is calmness in the storm and confidence in his skill set. And so many skills out there that can beat another clean strikes are the best then body control and movement IMO. I new after the first strike it was over lol cuz Mendez should went straight to take down and he didn't. Nothing against Mendez I think he thought he would do better with the exchanges and he did land some goodens

Judge, Mendez should of kept him on his back to win, he cannot beat a good striker. He was just in poor cardiovascular condition, lost heart, and gave up!! Look at Rory and Robbie!! Both beat to number 2, and still going at it!! Bummer for Rory and his nose!! Lol...
When Mendez had Conners on his back, Conners held him in full guard! When Conners bridged in guard Mendez would be moved to his belly and Conners was nailing him with elbows to the top of his head!! If Conners was good on the ground the fight would of been over then!! All he had to do was go for the triangle or arm bar after elbow striking the top of Mendez head! Mendez was extending his arms and standing up his lower body for leverage!! Exactly what you want to transition into a submission! ! You can bet your a$$ Gunner would of submitted Mendez from that position!!
