I agree Mac has catching up to do post-championship and I did say I dont put his careers in the same league with others until he does but I feel he earned the belt and was not as "lucky" to get there as you suggested.

Like I keep hearing this reasoning beacause he had time to get in Aldo's head Aldo charged in and thats why he won......you are the longest reigning champ undefeated in YEARS and you let a big-mouth change your destiny? If what a guy says changes the way you fight and you put yourself and legacy at risk you deserve to lose the belt IMO, a true champ controls emotion at all times. The truth is Aldo thought he could just charge in and hammer Mac and it was a miscalculation, he underestimated his opponent and paid the price.

I have also heard many times the "if Alvarez just wrestled him" argument from the same people who told me Mac would never beat a good wreslter. Did you watch the fight? Conor hurt Eddie's body and changed the gameplan period.....like Tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth".....thats what happened in that fight and Alvarez admitted many times after he was surprised by McGregor and underestimated his power and went as far to say in public Mac could KO Mayweather.

I am not a McNughugger personally or what you call them lol.....striking is the most enjoyed by mainstream fans but the reality is you cannot survive with one style in today's MMA.....you can get far if you are elite on your feet like Mac but eventually you will meet the guy who can cut through your striking and take you down and beat you there #ElCucuy. We saw it this weekend with world reknown King of Kung Fu Muslim Salikhov. He was doing very well against lower ranked mma guys, just mirked Melvin Guillard in June but what happened when he fought the #59 ranked WW in the MMA world who can wrestle? King of Kung Fu learns he is a peasant in the MMA Kingdom.
