Three possibilities and counting. Diaz is telling people Joe Silva said CMG-Diaz is up next. Frankie is under the impression he'll be fighting for the FW title next. RDA could fight pretty soon and has warned McGregor not to try and move up. What's your preference?
Rda is my preference. It's a win win situation for mystic mac. If he loses oh well. He still has the fw division to mess with and big money fights with the aldo rematch or Edgar. The problem though is if Dana makes him relinquish his belt it won't happen. My second choice is Edgar. While Diaz would be entertaining, if conor lost to him, it hurts his image. Diaz has done nothing to deserve a red panty night. He's 2-3 in his last 5.
The most entertaining fight is Diaz vs McGregor. The build up, the animosity, the mean mugging, the crazy eyes... it would be great. Connor's power vs Nate's volume. This fight does not go to the ground. If Anderson Silva didn't warrant an immediate title shot at 205, I don't think Connor has done more than Silva to deserve a title shot. He should have to fight a few 155er's first if he wants to move up.
I don't think Edgar can beat McGregor. He is too small. Diaz would be about equal length and the kickboxing match between them would be sublime. As you guys have said the build-up to it would be incredible. But if McGregor is offered RDA he takes that fight and it's the one to make.
From McGregor's perspective yes.. but IMO the most entertaining one is still vs Diaz. I think RDA's power could end McGregor unless he's too fast which you have to put them in the cage to find that out. With RDA being one of the least promoted and popular champions a loss to him hurts McGregor IMO. When it comes to Frankie... it sounds like it's the least likely outcome of the 3.

Of the three it's the fight I want to see the most for sure. Nate's performances against Cerrone and Johnson make it seem like it would be competitive. RDA can fight Nurmagomedov in the meantime. Frankie is in no-mans land but that's of his own making. Dude should be looking at 135.
The UFC missed out on McGregor-Cowboy. I feel like that's the fight they wanted. Would've been grand.
And as mystic mac has said, cowboy is too stiff. Rda exposed that and it would have been a win for McGregor
Personally, I want to see Diaz. He doesn't deserve it, but the pre fight trash talk would be fucking epic.
If Forrest Griffin gets to fight Anderson Silva at 205.. Nate should be good enough of a challenge for McGregor to face at 155 IMO... hell they fed James Irwin to Silva at 205... Nate is WAY more qualified to face a champion jumping up in class over that dreck.
