[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

My choices: Alex Pereira vs. TBA

forums.sherdog.com

My pick is Whittaker/Chimaev.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Rob Khamzat easily
Conor Chandler is pretty good too, but they have been quite inactive.

 

[usernamee]

anybody picking conor/chandler is not in their right mind

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Khamzat easily.

McGregor shouldn't be taken too seriously at this point imo

 

[StonedLemur]

Im with @usernamee on this one.
Nobody should be picking Conor vs Chandler at this point.

 

[Dionysian]

I wish we didn't have to downgrade to nonexistent security just to vote in a poll

Anyway, obviously Robert/Khamzat

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Conor vs Chandler was a good fight, 5 years ago...

 

[BJJ4Tone]

I mean, I think Knux v Borz is the much more relevant fight, sure...
But I'm kinda looking forward to the other one, because I'm really hoping Conor embarrasses himself yet again.

 

[Chaotic Progressor]

McGregor v Chandler. Shit's a banger.

 

[smiles mma]

Ones a top contender fight, one is a gimmick fight for WWE fans.

If someone is excited for the other one, I'm not mad. Chandler is never in a boring fight

 

[blaseblase]

Only one of them is actually a relevant fight for the division.

 

[robbie]

Chimaev is realistically the only one of the 4 fighters with legitimate title hopes and
Whitaker is a long time former champion and title contender. Chandler and McGregor is more of a circus match for the pop culture masses.

McGregor never defended a belt when he was relevant and he hasn't won a fight at 155 since 2016. And please stop with the nonsense that he went up to 170 and fought welterweight monsters. Nate Diaz was a long time LW and Cerrone was a long time LW who did have some success at WW for a few years, but by the time McGregor fought Cerrone he was beaten-up and broken mentally and physically which is clearly obvious if you look at his record. If McGregor wants to really fight at 170, then sign on to fight a top 10 WW and jump into the deep end of the swimming pool. On the plus side, it should be an entertaining fight that has very little chance of going the distance. The question is whether Chandler can fight smart enough to hang around until McGregor gasses so he can get his arm raised...I enjoy McGregor making excuses, so I'm pulling for Chandler and hoping he follows a smart game plan.

I'm excited to see McGregor get KTFO again!!
*Whitaker vs Chimaev is obviously the more exciting match up, with actual stakes behind it.

P.S: Don't be surprised when Dana reveals the new 165p special just for Conor division...

Conor vs Chandler it's going to be a great fight gareteed

And if Conor wins.. hel be able to get what ever fight or vs Islam or Leon.

Robert vs kham they won't get title fights and we'll see them next year at that rate

Oh you poor, poor fool. It feels mean to even make fun of you.

 

[NoSmilez]

They are both good. Mcgregor coming back is good for sport. I think he is shot but Chandler isn't in peak form either. I also feel bad if Chandler doesn't get the fight. He sat out for quite a long time already. Khamzat finally faces a MW contender. You can't really complain.

 

[McGeezle]

The one that matters of course
