    Not quite sure how a non-title rematch at welterweight between the featherweight champion and a lightweight contender is the main event for the UFC's planned biggest card ever, but w/e.

    Makes about as much sense as having an interim title rematch between Aldo and Edgar because the guy who fights every three months and is uninjured is fighting a second exhibition in another class.

    If McGregor loses he'll be a UFC champion on a two-fight losing streak! What the fuck?!

    Full camp Nate Diaz beats the breaks off of Conor McGregor this time around, right?

    We've seen how he does against normal sized human beings.

    Yeah I'm doubtful Conor will be ready for full camp diaz.

    Conor is probably losing sleep over this loss so he's trying to avenge. But I don't really see a good reason for the rematch right now.

    The only one I've heard is that the mainstream fans will be all over the rematch so it could pull a bunch of casuals into watching.

    Ugh. That means I'll have to hit up my bar in the afternoon and just hang out if I don't want to order it at home.

    UFC obviously didn't try hard enough. They could have vacated his title if they wanted too. DFW again saving face. Conor is his daddy.

    and how quick will Dana turn on Connor if the losses start happening at 145 or 155? Conor using his popularity and title for leverage right now.. but he has to know Dana bites back when you aren't breaking records for PPV buys.
