i started hating him towards the end of the TUF season he was on. dude is just a knucklehead. surprised he's managed to stay out of prison.

word. and now, with Greg Jackson, dude is hella defensive and doesn't mind lay n pray

I want Brandao to get KTFO. Because TPTB seem intent to go ahead and book McGregor vs Poirier next, which with Aldo vs Mendes being pushed back means we could also get Edgar vs Cub Swanson. All good and exciting matchups.

Conor smashed because he didnt come to the UFC to take part, he came to take over. Conor is like the Irish Chael minus the one trick pony aspect. If he can beat a few top 5-10 guys he will be a star.

if anyone wants to watch the McGregor/Brandao fight

here it is

McGregor is a good fighter, with some dynamite in his hands, but the guy leaves himself wide open with shots and submission openings. i don't think he'd beat someone like Frankie Edgar

CM is still raw and inexperienced and it shows that he hasn't fought top tier competition yet. He'll need to tighten his game up and show a more cautious and calculated approach to beat the second tier of FW's (Cub, Poirier, KZ, Stephens, Lamas & Lentz) and especially vs the upper tier guys (Aldo, Edgar, Mendes).

He has the skill set and potential to be the top guy in the division (and the charisma to be a draw) but he may need to be humbled (lose) in order to come close to fully reaching that potential.
