Shocking odds for that bet!!! Wouldn't touch that bet if the odds were ten times that, even if you believe he will be offered a title fight and win after his Dublin fight which he will need to win without knowing his competitor you would have to factor in his injury and the high chance it could be recurring!

MrStuffins · 20-12-2013 2:23pm

Oh my god!! What crazy odds.

He's injured, he's unproven against the top 10, he's nowhere near title contention, if he gets a title shot we let's presume it against Aldo........ all of these things add up to odds of 7.00?

I might take those odds if they were for him just to beat Aldo. But i'd still have to think about it.

Lay the bet on betfair and make profits off blind patriotism!

Edit: that bet was placed 15/08/13, 2 days before his injury

DerpKehoe · 20-12-2013 8:33pm

The only possible way to get a title shot next year will be several injuries to people or coaching TUF surely?

Xlami · 21-12-2013 10:53am

Bet was placed in August. After the Brimage fight Paddy offered 8-1 he'd be UFC champ by 2014 and 9/2 by 2016. Lumped on 9/2

Diego Sanchez fought 19 times in UFC, FOTN 7 times, FOTY 2 times.

Should be showing the lad more respect

All respect to Diego for the above but IMO he is too tough and too eager to get into crazy stupid brawls for his own good. He will sound like below in a few. He has to learn to fight smarter. Great for fans alright but think of life post cage. A little off topic so apologies.

Did Conor appear on the JRE yet?

bungaro79 · 30-12-2013 6:44pm

nothing on itunes as of today anyway

UFC has expanded their rankings to 15 per divison now and McGregor has landed in at No.12.

Hadn't realised he was that high up the totem pole and that close to all the guys he's been calling out on Twitter

Fight matrix has him at 19th now. But that includes non-ufc fighters, filtering by UFC only and they have him at 12th too.
They might have had him above 18th at one point too.

Was just rewatching Poirier v Brandao. I wasn't overly impressed with Poirier to be honest especially considering the level opposition that Brandao provided on the night. I was very dubious about McGregor venturing into top ten territory too soon but I definitely think he could take him out.

Chewabacca · 07-01-2014 3:48am

Poirier fight makes so much sense at the moment but the UFC probably want to give Conor easier opposition for now to develop his skills and popularity.

Poirier gets wild and would give Conor plenty of openings on the feet. If it stayed standing I think Conor would pick Poirier apart and get a finish. Would be interesting to see how the fight would go if Poirier got a TD though. He's very active on the mat and has slick submissions.

Poirier did look impressive in his last win. Regardless of how poor Brandao looked, he's still a really tough, dangerous fighter and Dustin made him look like they didn't even belong in the cage together.

OrgasmicBaz · 07-01-2014 10:48am

Poirier would be a great fight, would make a good co main event.

I reckon Poirier will be fighting before his comeback tho, and i think depending on who he fights, could be one win away from a title shot. So unless Poirier loses his next fight i cant see it happening just yet

Looking at the top 10 Koch & Elkins are beatable, i think Lentz & Siver would be tricky

Oregano_State · 07-01-2014 12:46pm

I thought Poirier's striking looked very wild open vs Brandao. I couldn't see Conor getting tagged as easily as at all. Different story on the ground to be sure, but maybe Conor is better than we give him credit for. Do we know how good Conor's TD defence is?

Cole Miller calling out McGregor again.

Too easy of a fight, but if he beats Sicilia you never know it might happen

Zero-Cool · 10-01-2014 11:27am

Conor & John are on Ireland AM now

Don't think Miller is too easy a fight for McGregor. Think it'd be a dangerous opponent. Miller destroyed Ross Pearson on the feet, has good takedowns and is great off his back. Hope this fight gets made.

OrgasmicBaz · 10-01-2014 2:41pm

Miller would be a easier opponent than some of the fighters ive heard him been matched with, esp guys in the top 10

Nappy · 10-01-2014 3:45pm

When should Conor be back?

OrgasmicBaz · 10-01-2014 4:25pm

Think its around May/June

Oregano_State · 10-01-2014 11:04pm

Edit: I made a booboo it would appear. Don't know why I had the notion it was a youtube video. Link.
