    McGregor is simply a quality fighter.

    Great footwork, excellent body control, good timing and power...He's very, very good.

    He's also a better talker than Fury. He's a natural.

McGregor faces Aldo tomorrow, he would have now fought everyone relevant at 145 except for Edgar. And he's not even that big. He's just tall for the class in MMA but he's only 5'9 cutting to 145.
      Connor is 172lbs - Walking weight. That's quite big for 145 actually.


      Mendes has a short time, but Connor was actually properly training, making weight etc also. Mendes was not himself.

      As for other fighters, that's them. We are talking about Mcgregor and his opponents here.


      S VEGAS -- Chael Sonnen whipped the MMA community into frenzy -- which he is known to do -- when he said on Jim Rome last week that Conor McGregor had to cut almost 30 pounds in eight days to make featherweight. McGregor said that's just not true.

      "We did have a discussion, but I think he must have misheard me, what I said," McGregor said Tuesday at UFC 189 open workouts. "But I didn't say I was that high. That's too high this close out. I'd say I walk around at that weight. He must have misheard me. I don't think anything of it."

      Sonnen, who spoke with McGregor at ESPN, told Rome that McGregor was at 172 pounds last Thursday. The former UFC middleweight No. 1 contender expressed doubt that McGregor would make 145 for his interim featherweight title fight against Chad Mendes in the main event of UFC 189 on Saturday here at MGM Grand.

      "He's a very big guy," Sonnen said. "I was impressed with how big he is. I was like 'Conor, what do you weigh?' He said 'I'm around 172 pounds.' He's got to be 145 pounds in eight days. I don't know how he's going to do it. He's very lean. He has a very busy schedule. He's training at Las Vegas. He was just in L.A. with Conan O'Brien last night. He's in New York for Reebok a day before that. He was in Connecticut the day before that. One, how does he do the weight? And two, how does he find the time? I don't know."
