After his last two fights, which yeah they weren't top-5 guys, but still good fighters which he put away VERY easily, I now think Conor is good enough to be a reasonable choice on his own merits for Aldo's next fight rather than just being a blatant money-grab circus sideshow.
Just because he probably deserves a title shot doesn't mean he's beating Aldo though. Aldo will have been the champion for over 4 years and 7 defenses. He hasn't lost a fight since 2005.
So, Aldo should win, but Conor McGregor is dangerous. Not many featherweights have the kind of knockout power that he does, and his movement (which he often brags about) is pretty slick. He could catch Aldo with a well-placed strike.
