I'll be betting against Conor again in his next fight be it vs Aldo or Edgar, I had £55 on Nate to win and had £20 on Aldo to win last time out.
I think people are making too big of a deal about the weight class he fought Nate at. The facts are;
Nate isn't a natural 170lb fighter, he fights at 155lb.
Nate only weighed in 1lb heavier than Conor.
Both weighed in under the 170lb limit, which indicates to me that neither of them had to cut (especially when you consider they could have weighed in at 171lbs and still have made weight)
Basically this was a lightweight bout with neither fighter cutting weight, that being said I can't even begin to imagine how badly RDA would have messed Conor up - go check RDA vs Nate Diaz to see how bad he would have made Conor look.
I love Conor McGregor, I just don't see him being at the top of any division until he rounds out his game - he's a phenomenal striker who is fun to watch against lesser opponents due to his creativity.
