The UFC and McGregor have been in discussions about who his next opponent will be. Conor's coach wants Aldo. I think he is worried about Edgar even though Conor is the bigger fighter and great striker. I think most fans (myself included) want to see Edgar vs McGregor. The question about can Conor handle a top wrestler in his division is still unanswered. Mendes had short notice for the fight with McGregor and had to focus on cutting weight. Edgar has good movement and wrestling and he has some power in his punches. I think he'd give McGregor all he could handle and probably more than he could handle. Aldo is a better matchup for McGregor unless he changes his strategy & who knows if he will. It's sill an interesting fight but less interesting. There is no guarantee McGregor wins. It's not easy beating a top fighter twice in a row. I think Holloway is the future of the FW division. He doesn't have to become a skeleton to make weight like McGregor yet he is big for the division. He is younger than the top guys and skilled. Holloway was able to take the pressure and strikes of Conor without losing early. Holloway is on an 8 fight win streak. He's being overlooked by the UFC and deserves a title shot soon. Perhaps the UFC should put him on the UFC 200 card and all of McGregor's fight cards as a potential alternate that actually has a training camp.
