Conor McGregor Is Ready for His Close-Up, but Is He Really Ready for Jose Aldo?

The Conor McGregor hyperbole may finally have gotten out of hand this week. Frightening, considering it feels like we’re just getting started.

C.B. Dollaway Embracing the ‘Bad Guy’ Role, Ready to Shock Brazil Once More

Conor McGregor: All Hype Aside, Is He Really Ready for Aldo?

There is something wonderful about being a fight fan during the times when a new voice, such as Conor McGregor‘s, comes out, loud and unafraid, predicting greatness at the expense of all others.

UFC 181: Gilbert Melendez Is Ready for War
