A nice little rant. I honestly can't wrap my mind around people calling the promoters(Or the fighters, for that matter) stupid for setting up good fights.

I'm very interested to see what is next for Nate. I heard GSP's camp is pushing for a fight w/ Nate. Cerrone II could be a good match up. A title shot seems farfetched.
Conor vs Frankie should be the booking on the other end of things. Fuck Aldo.

You win the door prize for being the millionth person to say Frankie is a stylistic nightmare for Conor, but I don't see it. "good wrestler with amazing cardio" is the idea of most, but we shall see. I don't think Frankie has anything for Conor on the feet and Frankie is going to have a lot of trouble dictating the distance. Even if Frankie is able to land a couple of takedowns he isn't going to finish Conor on the ground. Conor keeps him at the end of his left straight and TKOs him by the 3rd at the latest.
Who did Frankie fight at 155 outside of Bendo that probably wouldn't be a 145r in todays landscape? BJ & Maynard were more 145 than 155... Sherk was 5'6. I don't think Frankie has fought any elite striker as long as Conor, or even close to it.
Maynard was heavier than Conor according to this (conor at 168 against Nate, Maynard was 172 before dropping weight for a LW fight Interview with Gray Maynard ) Has he had a FW fight? Whilst searching for his weight I found a report saying he was going to move down, but it'd involve him dropping mass as well as a cut.
Sherk was also heavier: 12 Questions for Sean Sherk - Career Reflections he says he 175 here.
Penn is probably the closest to Conor given his boxing ability and 70 inch reach (4 inches less than Conor admittedly) but it's not really about finding someone as long as Conor it's a case of finding someone who's used to fighting at the disadvantage, Frankie seems to be the best case of that. Plus he took power shots from the heavier guys above, which is a big factor, Conor himself saying the extra weight of his opponent was a factor against Nate.
Maybe I'm buying into the hype from multiple MMA communities but I just see Frankie as having the style to beat Conor.

I've seen Frankie come out and get beaten up in two separate first rounds by shit striker Gray Maynard. Conor obliterates the lad
Cruz and Faber feud is so money
I like both guys but Faber has been my dude since I got into the sport over a decade ago.
