5 Reasons Why Conor McGregor Receiving A UFC Title Shot Makes Sense

1. A Captivating Striking Clinic Against Jose Aldo Or Proving Himself Against A Top Wrestler Like Chad Mendes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1-SrF3MBQI The possible style clashes that would consist in a title fight featuring McGregor are really enticing. Jose Aldo is one of the true world-class strikers in MMA today. His leg kicks are lethal, while his overall movement is brilliant. He€™s been more conservative in recent fights, due to a lack of competition. His past opponents tend to get psyched out and don€™t become aggressive until the latter rounds. McGregor won€™t allow himself to be beaten mentally. He would push the pace and force Aldo into an all-out striking battle. I€™m expecting Mendes to push the pace against Aldo, but he€™ll do it through closing the distance and going for takedowns. McGregor would look to strike consistently, which makes for a super fan-friendly fight. Even if Mendes wins the title, a fight with McGregor is intriguing as well. It may not have the same striking parlance that a fight featuring Aldo would have. What it would consist of is McGregor finally being challenged against an elite wrestler. The last major remaining question for McGregor is if he can be successful against a wrestler. Can he defeat the likes of Mendes, Nik Lentz, or Ricardo Lamas? We could see the challenge come to fruition here, as Mendes is relentless going for takedowns. He had Aldo reeling in the first round in their fight from nearly three years ago. The animosity has picked up between both fighters, as Mendes has spoken publicly about destroying McGregor if they were scheduled to fight. You combine a thrilling styles clash, with both fighters having serious knockout power. Then legitimate animosity is steaming between both fighters makes for one of the biggest fights in featherweight history. You can€™t go wrong with either opponent.
