    fair play to McGregor, but these things can happen in UFC, one punch can end a fight. I still would fancy Aldo in the rematch if it happens.

    Got a feeling it might well be Frankie Edgar who gets the next shot at McGregor though, and that would be a very tough fight for him. Edgar beat Mendes in the first round only a few days ago, and his wrestling style would make him a very awkward opponent for McGregor.

    McGregor may look invincible to the casual follower so far, but I'm far from convinced it will be plain sailing. Last night everything just fell right for him. There are some tough fights ahead for him now :biggrin:

    McGregor is the face of UFC... He's the mouth of UFC too.

    He is their sport. When you make it to the front of a computer game, you've made it.

    As for proving it, he's done it every time he's gotten into the octagon. His last performance really proved it. More so than cleaning out a ten year champion in 13 seconds.

    He may be the biggest draw in UFC, along with Rhonda, but that doesn't make him the best fighter.

    Being on the front of a computer game is irrelevant to being the best fighter in the company. Is Jordan Henderson the best player in world football?

    The last UFC computer game had Jon Jones on the front anyways but there hardly likely to keep him on there after the hit and run incident, it also had Alexander Gustaffson alongside him on the front a fighter who's still yet to even win a title in UFC, which kind of silences your point of needing to make it to get on the front.

    The most popular fighters get on the front, not the best. Gustaffson like McGregor has a huge following here in Europe, so it made sense to have him on it last year, just like it makes sense to have McGregor on it this year.

    It don't prove your the best in the business just cause your on the front of a silly game though :biggrin:

    It's a really good fight. I really like both of them.

    Lee's last fight was a very creditable comeback from being miles behind to get a draw. But it doesn't look as good now that his opponent was blasted out in a round.

    Billy Joe fades later on in fights where Lee gets stronger.

    I coukd make a decent case for both of them winning. If pressed I'd say Lee wins a close decision.

    I like Lee but has a very strange accent,a mixture of New York and Limerick.

    Would be more Detroit. I can't really pick it out though except in a few expressions.

    I've a mate with a broad Kerry accent who came to London at about 10-11. Yet his brother who is about 2 years younger sounds more like Andy Lee.

    I'm not sure I'd pick Andy Lee as being from travelling stock though. A cousin (ish) of Tyson Fury.

    The shrewd money has been buying in Detroit for years. The yield there is even better than Orlando, but people don't understand, they still prefer a 3% yield with their buy to let in Doncaster, **** getting 18% in America. ****ing idiots

    Don't move there, invest there. Even though all the big 3 car companies have moved back there, why would people move there? Nope, stick with buy to lets in UK<ok>
