    -130 only?  I know the books want to lower the odds on him to even out the bet intake due to Conor being so popular but -130 is almost disrespectful not from vegas but just in terms of the odds presented like when Seattle was an underdog in the superbowl vs denver in the cold. That was an easy hammer and I hammered that +3 bodog was giving out... 

    Dos Anjos is legit and he has beaten pretty much all the top dogs in this division convincingly, Cerone twice, pettis unanimous, henderson KO, he has improved a lot since He lost a decision to khabib. On the other hand, I like Conor a lot, he is good for the sport and is entertaining but his win over Mendes who was fighting on short notice didnt impress me that much. Mendes gassed and got knocked out in the 2nd round after winning the 1st round and was winning the 2nd round till that KO.  and the fight vs Aldo was impressive but did we really get to see anything? aldo got KOed in what was it 13 secs?  Conor is moving up a division, Anjos is bigger, stronger and has more KO power than anyone Connor has faced. 

    Anjos -130 is an easy decision IMO.

    Conor for +100 is the easy decision. When Conor said the 155 is the stuck in the mud division he is right. If your a Conor hater you go against his words and bet for Rafael at -130 odds and lose. I may eat my words come the fight but Conor is a huge threat. Rafael looks good against Donald because he never stood a chance. 

    I think just in point scoring alone conor would score better. When people fight Rafael they fall into his game plan. Conor he switches things up and you have to improv your fight game. When people fall into Conor's game they cant keep up because they lack fluidity and game plan. Silva and Jon jones have the same type of fighting style although different in ways, RDA does not have that.

    The -130 is to make RDA look like he's the favourite vs a mcgregor favorite. Conor haters will go for RDA just on his fight career the same they did for Aldo.

    The Ufc a business....I can't see Dana lap dog(McGregor)*pardon me I meant cash cow lose this fight. I see the way the Ufc is building McGregor up. I believe the smart money on McGregor. However it will be interesting if Rda gets McGregor on the ground....but (win) I play this fight out I see McGregor winning

    UFC definately did build Conor up and they should of. End of the day if RDA knocks out mcgregor or submits him theres nothing they can do really to stop it. They may pay refs to seperate fighters from clinches or stand them up before they get better position. 

    Leave it to the hands of the judges then Conor will show enough to the audience for them to accept a decision win even if he does lose decision. 

    Paige, Northcutt, Kimbo and eventually CM punk are meant to lose. They all show potential against lower rank fighters. 

    Conor, Jones, Joanna, Holly are all champions. But will Conor turn out to be Ronda? I think Khabib or Thompson are really going to test him. Against a prime Silva he holds no chance.

    You mean Anderson Silva? I'm not ready to start imagining how McG would do against 170-185ers. He's gotta beat a 155 first. Fortunately 145-155 is the smallest jump up in weight classes in ufc. Also hard to compare McG to Rhonda, the guys' divisions are so much more evolved it's kinda disrespectful, hype's similar but that's it.

    Anderson Silva in his prime would take out conor at 170. Conor has hype, he is missing a ground game that Anderson Silva has plus his kicks. Conor has great movement and is planning out shots and how to best land shots while in the ring, similar to AS. 

    More speaking if Conor would fall like Ronda or hold his titles like Anderson Silva. Ronda was more of a one trick pony, her fights with miesha you can see her getting tagged. 

    I see Conor beating rda first round. Conor will circle away from the fence. Get distance and throw calculated shots.

    If you like RDA - 130 then you'll love +130! I lean RDA by total ground control but I'm surprised to see ALOT of sharps on McG

    Im more cautious of Khabib vs Conor. From now on Conor is going to be fighting warriors. No easy fights. I like to compare situations to recent fights, Conor can beat RDA like Thompson beat Hendricks. He can also lose if he lets him self get out wrestled by RDA, which is a possibility, as he let Mendes take him down. 

    If Conor shows bad wrestling twice, one from medez fight and another sloppy performance RDA, Khabib is the pick if he is 100%. 

    Thompson's wrestling is better than Conor's. If Conor goes to 170 I have to take Thompson after he secures the belt.

    When is that Khabib/Ferguson fight, April? I think a healthy Khabib is victorious
