Who Should Connor Mcgregor Defend His Featherweight Belt Against? Aldo or Edgar?

It has been confirmed by Dana White that Connor will defend his title at ufc 200, but who is connor going to fight?

At the end of the diaz fight, Connor said that he would give Jose Aldo another chance at the title because he was undefeated for 10 years, yet stated that he doesn't usually show up so he'd give edgar the chance too.

I'm going to argue both sides of who should fight.

Jose Aldo: The original champion, Jose Aldo, had never been knocked out....especially in 13 seconds. Did we truly see the complete fighter Aldo against Mcgregor? No body knows, because it ended so fast. Now, we all probably have seen (if not you should definitly look it up) that Connor actually predicted Jose's movement just moments before the fight, performing the cross like he did that ended it so quickly. The fight itself also raised ALOT of money so having an Aldo Mcgregor 2 rematch would be fitting, also because they have some beef.

Frankie Edgar: Frankie edgar is a very balanced fighter, and amazing wrestler, and others question Mcregor's ground game when it comes to facing "The Answer". Frankie edgar's record is pretty impressive, and his stature and short reach make him usually the david in the david and goliath scenario (watch benson henderson vs edgar). He's been wanting the title shot for a very long time, and it would still be entertaining to watch Mcgregor fight Edgar.

It's really a win win scenario here. If Edgar beats Mcgregor, there will be an Aldo Edgar 2. If Mcgregor beats Edgar, then there will be a Mcgregor Aldo 2. So all in all, we would still be getting some good fights.

Have a Great Day,
