Really shitty for mcgregor, brand new opponent at spur of the moment. Same with Aldo, can't be easy to ready for a guy for so long with a specific tailored game plan and get a replacement with the shot of their life

Can he cut back down to 155 fast enough though after just fighting at 170?

Just read that 4 of his last 8 fights, a fighter got injured and pulled out.

no way, put Conner up against a legit light weight (like Dos anjoes was). Let Nate Diaz have at him. They been shite talking at each other. Cerrone or Pettis also would be a fight. Conor could not cut down to Edger weight at this point and Edgar would get killed if he moved up or at a catchweight to fight him.

A big fight postponed/called off because of an "injury"? Shocker.

Why would Edgar get killed? He was 155 champ before.

Dos Anjos is not afraid of McGregor. Glad this happened so McGregor will have to fight his way to the title shot at 155 against at least one fighter his size before getting the title shot. Nate Diaz vs Mcgregor would be a motherfricker of a fight. Going to be hard for anyone to cut that fast on this short of notice. But Cerrone just fought at 170 and didn't get damaged at all it seems, maybe cut down by then.

Frankie can fight at 155 no problem. The problem is is less than 2 weeks notice who knows if Frankie has even been training

he can of course but he will lose easily. Let McGregor fight a real lightweight and see what he can do against a top fighter his size.

there is no more real a lightweight than Frankie the former champ. It is probably too short a notice though and Mcgregor just fights at 200

Edger could probably fight at 135 if he wanted to. Dude looks small even at 145. He moved down from 155 because he was getting beat by bigger guys because he is not a natural 155 lb size fighter.

NO one deserves the fight more than Edger, but he deserves it at the weight that is fair for him. He fights at 145 and McGregor holds the 145 belt. If they fight, McGregor needs to come down to 145 and put that belt on the line. Not at 155, not at a catchweight of 150, but for a real title at 145.

If they aren't going to fight for a title then Edger shouldn't take the fight. If the fight is just for entertainment value then no fight would be more entertaining than McGregor vs Nate Diaz at 155. I want to see what McGregor can do against a tough fighter his size.

He moved down because of what he thought were 2 robberies vs Benson if he had gotten those decisions I doubt he moves down
