I'm a big believer in Aldo -- for my money, he's the P4P champ, even ahead of that cokehead LHW -- but I really do buy into the McGregor hype train, and I think he's going to give Aldo a very tough fight.
Obviously McGregor doesn't have the record to back up his act, but he really has destroyed a pair of decent UFC FW's recently... plus he has a few inches of height and at least 4 inch reach advantage over Aldo.
Obviously Conor would need to avoid Aldo's insane leg kicks and move like a ninja around the cage, but I could see him taking a judge's decision.
Still going to say Aldo has the edge, but McGregor could pull it off.
(In some ways I sort of wish they were giving Conor another fight before he gets a title shot, just to pump up his hype train even further... but, maybe they don't want to risk him being upset against another top-5 opponent, as that would destroy their PPV $$ dreams for the Aldo fight).
Anyway, to me this is a pretty intriguing title fight.
