I think it's obvious that Aldo wins, but just imagine if Connor beats him. There would be hysteria. Also, say what you want about McGregor, but the guy is amazing to watch/listen to.

Agree. He's hysterical yet fascinating.

Hope he wins but I think Aldo runs through him.

McGregor is certainly an interesting character, and his fighting style does make for an interesting matchup.

That being said, I think Aldo is too good for him, and will undoubtedly be extra focused and ready to go after all the nonsense that's gone on.

Aldo is on a level all by himself in that division, I don't see him getting beaten any time soon.

McGregor will do for Aldo what Sonnen did for Silva.

This girl Joanna Jedrzejczyk is wayyyy better looking than Ronda. Ronda is cute in an above average, girl next door type of way, but Joanna is gorgeous.

Aldo/Mcgregor fight making me a UFC fan. I'm a novice to the sport. But I'm interested in seeing whose style wil win. Watched both guys highlights.

Aldo can KO anyone with his knees. Mcgregor reminds me of Brad Pitts character in Snatch.

I don't see what you're seeing. She's attractive, but I find her less attractive than Rousey.

They both could kick my ass though.

Didn't watch the Fox card tonight, but mostly know the results. Was it good enough to catch the replay of?

Both are good looking for MMA fighters ... but that's it.

This guy just can't seem to help himself. I knew 187 card was too good to be true.

im sure dana white will hold one of his usual power press conferences where he emphatically defends jones (again) and tells everyone that the UFC is giving full support to Jon Jones during the investigation.

UFC announced that it has suspended Jon Jones indefinitely and stripped him of the light heavyweight title as a result of violations of the organization’s Athlete Code of Conduct Policy.

Jones was recently arrested in Albuquerque, N.M. on a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury. As a result of the charge and other violations of the Athlete Code of Conduct Policy, the organization believes it is best to allow Jones time to focus on his pending legal matters.

Little bit of an overreaction by the UFC before allowing all the evidence and facts come out.

Jones will be back and be champ again by next year.

Bad week for Dana White. The face of the UFC is suspended and stripped of his title, while across town Mayweather vs Pacquiao is about to pull in close to half a billion dollars in the biggest Boxing fight of all time. Poor timing Jon Jones!

He pretty much got off scot-free with the whole cocaine thing. And I believe Dana talked with Jones before this decision. He may know the facts. And apparently an off duty cop is the person that ID'd Jones leaving the scene. Jones has already apologized as well so he is admitting to something. He allegedly left his weed behind in the car. He must have been pretty high to try to get away on foot while leaving his car there.

UFC will never be on par with boxing, not now, not tomorrow, not for 100 years. The proof is in the numbers.

UFC needs in infusion of next level leadership. It also needs a star that can transcend the sport. Ronda is good, but no one will take a girl fighter seriously enough to be a Michael Jordan of their sport.

yup.. UFC lost a lot of luster when GSP left.. Anderson got dethroned.. Chael stopped running his mouth (my goodness that was so entertaining).

Add Jon Jones' debacle to this and they're struggling to find a good star.. Pettis seemed like a good star.. but he just got dominated.

UFC is finding out that stars sell PPVs.

They need to simplify.
