Also the next TUF coaches have been named... Conor McGregor will take a team of European hopefuls & Urijah Faber will take the Americans.

Faber and McGregor won't be fighting afterwards... And the show won't effect the timing of the unification belt apparently....

I wonder if they need to give Conor a bit of a rest... You don't want the viewer to get fatigued with him.

Mendes v Edgar could have been a good series.

If Conor were to beat Aldo pretty well in the unification fight... I don't think there will be a rematch.

They will need to move the contenders along to get the division moving. Frankie would be up after that i assume.

The hard part for Frankie is that now Conor has officially overtaken him in the rankings he might be forced to take a dangerous fight with Mendes as the layoff might be too long without one.

But your right about the Croke park fight... Yeah that's supposed to be Conor's first defence.

connor could knock aldo out with his first punch and aldo would still get a rematch, that's what 8 years undefeated does for you

UFC is milking everything they can out of Conor while he's at the top.

But I think all this will take a toll, give the guy a break.

I see what your saying... But it's not automatic that a long standing champ gets an immediate rematch.

A lot depends on the state of the division... If Frankie was to fight Mendes and beat him... There would be more pressure on them giving Frankie the shot than Aldo a rematch.

And then there's Aldo himself... If he gets destroyed by Conor then I doubt he will want the rematch... He struggles as it is to cut down to 145... He may just decide the weight cut to fight a guy who's already dominated him in an Irish stadium might not be worth the effort. He might just move to LW full time.

Got any more ifs in your equation?

It's all a matter of ifs at this stage... It's all fluid.

You like to talk like you know what's happening... But it's f**king obvious after this week.. You know f**k all about rugby league... And even less about MMA... :lol:

So by all means... Keep going... I want hear how awesome the NSW pack is... :lol:

You'd have to think Aldo would get an automatic re-match if he lost to Conor. But if he is absolutely beat up or knocked out, I reckon he'd have to get in line behind Edgar.

Anyone who thinks they KNOW what will happen with UFC fight scheduling is clearly deluded.

Oh, hi Craig.

Does it hurt looking like a fool? I imagine it would have to.

Now watch Craig back away from the statement of certainty he made above and hang everything on "would". I can almost hear the beeping already.

Obviously it does hurt looking like a fool.

The overuse of emoticons lets you down again Craig.

I make it a point not to take advice from fools. Hope you're not too offended.

And keep the emoticons coming. They don't piss me off, but they do tell a lot about about you...

One would think you'd learn that you have no idea what you're talking about. First NSW in Origin, then the lippy leprechaun both making you look stupid.

What's next? The Eels to take out the minor premiership?
