Dos Anjos: McGregor is a coward
Dos Anjos, UFC lightweight champion, calls McGregor a “coward” for putting off his first featherweight title defense. The featherweight division will continue to be held up for at least another half year or so as McGregor pursues fights against bigger men.
feel bad for Aldo and Edgar,after ufc200 Conor ll find another fight in a different division,so he can keep his belt for lil longer #coward

Conor is a lot of things, but a coward certainly is not one of them. He took that fight because a) he’s obsessed with avenging his loss and b) it was a bigger fight for the money. He already beat Aldo, however, Frankie would have been a pretty big fight too but in the end, money talks and fighting Diaz is gonna be the bigger paycheck. It has nothing to do with being a coward. In fact, if he were a coward, he most likely wouldn’t be fighting the same guy that just beat him up. He’s risking a ton to fight Nate again, because if he loses two in a row like that, he’s going to lose a lot of momentum and hype
