The UFC commentator discussed what’s already being one of the most talked about fights ever on his ‘Experience’ podcast along with regular guests Bryan Callen and Brendan Schaub.

While an opponent has yet to be determined, Dana White has confirmed that UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will fight at the marquee UFC 200 event on July 9.

With the only two realistic opponents coming in the form of either Jose Aldo (whom McGregor defeated in 13 seconds to claim the championship) or contender Frankie Edgar, the floor was open for the panel to deliberate on what could happen.

The bookies’ had Aldo as slight favourite, but the panel agreed that an Edgar fight would be an easier sell, due in part to the nature of Aldo’s loss at UFC 194, and that the Brazilian may have to ‘redeem’ himself before securing a rematch.

“An Edgar fight is scary. If he [McGregor] loses, which is a possibility, that luster and shine he had is gone”, Callen warned. Rogan concurred.

“Frankie Edgar is a 48-hour storm! He’s not gonna get tired, he can wrestle his ass off, he’ll come at you from crazy angles with sensational footwork. Plus he knocked Chad Mendes the f**k out!”

Big-time Conor McGregor fan and ex-UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub offered a caveat in the Irishman’s favour – his renewed power at 145lbs.

“If Conor connects, and Frankie does tend to get hit, woah…it’s very, very possible that he knocks Frankie out. At 145lbs, Conor can starch anybody.”

The debate, among other MMA discussion including a similar take on the Holm/Rousey/Tate situation, starts from 1:03:14 below (with the Edgar analysis at 1:09:15) via PowerfulJRE.
