Anyone believe this will actually go down in Vegas? Knowing Zuffa, would it shock anyone if they find an excuse to make this fight in Ireland? (venue issues in Vegas, etc)

Im sure they already have it mapped out for Ireland. While I dislike Aldo, I really do not care for the ground Conor stands on, not because of him personally, but because of how dirtbag has handled this. The IG post laying by the pool with Conor drinking god knows what. That isnt how a President of an organization or company should act. It all screams to me WWE scripted. Why if your being pushed as a bad man face a challenger thats ranked far behind and not one of these 1. Chad Mendes 2. Cub Swanson 3. Frankie Edgar 4. Ricardo Lamas, why does a win over someone like Siver almost grant you a title shot with out having to face the top guys? because its called the UFC the MMA leader of scripted entertainment.

"In UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo’s ideal world, Conor McGregor will emerge victorious in tonight’s UFC Fight Night 59 headliner and then head to the champ’s native Brazil for a title shot.

UFC President Dana White, meanwhile, seems to have other plans.

While McGregor (16-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) must first get by Dennis Siver (22-9 MMA, 11-6 UFC) in tonight’s FOX Sports 1-televised UFC Fight Night 59 headliner at Boston’s TD Garden, his potential bout with Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has already been a frequent topic of conversation. And while Brazil, McGregor’s native Ireland and Las Vegas have all been mentioned as possible host sites, it appears the latter has won out."

Well its all a BS scripted event. Fighting a guy whos ranked behind you for a title shot is beyond me. What about the 4 guys already at the top, do they not matter?

Seems like a reasonable question.

Seems like a waste not doing this in Brazil or Ireland. They could do really huge shows. But I guess LV is neutral ground so to speak.

I agree. Ireland or Brazil would be huge...should be in Brazil, being that Aldo is champ.
