listening to that interview with dana, and he said two things of note:
1.) conor's foot/leg is still hurt
2.) he also said "something completely out of left field will play out after the fight"...conor retiring?

NVM. I listened. He said it's "Conor's business" so doesn't sound like a fight match up.

That was what I first typed. Didn't sound like a fight match up from the way Dana put it.
Or maybe Conor plans to call him out and that's why he worded it the way he did.
Aldo out here claiming that GSP demanded 10 Mil to fight Conor. So kind of makes sense with that rumor floating around.

I think a lot of people forget that he was in a court battle with Bellator before coming over to UFC. Dude wasn't able to fight for almost a year.
Can't be mad at him having his priorities straight. Guaranteed pay > no pay

they've been trying to get that fight since the first nate/conor matchup.
maybe conor gets a fight in his home country?
would be lit if nate vs conor 3 at croke park

Yeah, I wasn't aware that PPV shares got you millions (if you're fighting Conor)
So the base pay really doesn't matter
We'll get the numbers after the fight and see for sure

If Conor wins and they strip him of the 145 title and upgrade Jose, it'll be the 2nd time he becomes UFC FW champ without beating anyone.

what do you mean? he beat the non-existant ufc 145 lb champ
he walked into the cage, suit and all, beat that nonexistant champ, and walked away with the belt

Him defending the title 7 times suggests they weren't wrong in granting him the belt.
And is anything really out of left field with Conor?
A fight at 145 would probably be more surprising than retirement, a super fight with GSP or even Mayweather.

This what happened with the first Diaz fight. They already making assumptions about him automatically winning and what he's gon do next
He's got a tough task ahead of him. When fighters start to think about the future, that's when they begin to fail

Uhh, you do know the WEC was pretty much the UFC for lighter divisions right? Aldo is the GOAT FW and a top 5 p4p

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Aldo fan. I just thought that was an interesting stat.
WEC Aldo was a freakin' beast. The only fighter he didn't finish was Faber.
UFC Aldo only has 2 finishes. I personally want to see a rematch w Conor.

I just looked and it's interesting that Aldo, while still fighting the best 145's in the world in WEC, did have significantly more finishes there than in the UFC.
In their last 10 fights, Edgar has as many KO wins and more finishes. Which I wouldn't have expected.
Aldo's level of comp was higher through that span though. Wonder if the weight cut as he's gotten older is having that effect on him.

I also wonder if the smaller cages had to do something with it since there was more action.

I think it has to do that the longer you're champ, the more pressure you have to keep the belt. Therefore you see guys (like GSP, especially after Serra) play it safe and systematically break down their opponent over 5 rounds rather than always look for the kill

This along with the pressure of staying champ once he got to the big show
There was clearly a difference in mentalities over the years which I don't blame him or hold it against him
Aldo really did capture my imagination coming up so I will always hold him in high regard, it's sad how things have played out

Man come November the hype will be real. Prices will only go up if the card holds. I might sell them but I really wanna go.
