Official Conor McGregor Thread (READ MOD WARNING IN OP)

What chances do you lot think McGregor has of winning the title? December 2014 is too close imo but another 2/3 strong performances against ranked opposition and he surely would be in with a shout of a title shot.

3/1 to win any UFC belt at any stage in his career.

Seriously bad odds. He'd be bigger odds than that in a fight v Aldo alone

Next Thursday 9.30pm. Reality bites. Documentary on Conor

Say what you want about Rogan being bias and towing the company line against the tide of the fight while colour commentating, but damn can that man wax lyrical about MMA! Great little interview Severemma

To eat him.

don't think clay will be to happy bout that ad...

Or conor getting kicked in the face

Cannot believe i did not come across this article earlier but seems to indicate that Aldo puts McGregor in the top five.

Dont know whether to believe Aldo said that or not, he seems to be giving Conor a lot more credit than the rest of the division !!!

Jose Aldo: I should face Chad Mendes next

Jose Aldo is keen on a rematch with Chad Mendes after conceding that a superfight with UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis is perhaps not an option for the near future.
With Pettis announced to coach against Gilbert Melendez on an upcoming edition of The Ultimate Fighter, current UFC featherweight champ Aldo was left without an obvious choice for the next challenger to his belt.
Speaking with fans during a Q&A in Natal, Brazil, Aldo shared his thoughts on who he thought should get the next shot.
“I’m focused again on my division and I think I should face Chad Mendes. He’s a guy I’ve already fought, but I must respect him, stay humble and keep my feet on the ground. I will train hard to win one more time,” said Aldo.
“Chad Mendes is first in line… Cub Swanson, who is a guy I already beat, is second, and he’s evolving a lot. There’s also Jeremy Stephens, who is very good. There’s an Irishman [Conor McGregor] who has also been talking a lot and could be a good fight. And also, there’s Dustin Poirier. I think those are the top five at the moment.”
Aldo emphatically knocked out Mendes in their first fight with a brutal knee. He famously celebrated by running into the overjoyed Brazilian crowd after the fight was stopped.

Conor certainly has made a big impact in the UFC and there seems to be a huge amount of jealousy invloved in the call outs he is getting.

Amazing that Conor is such a big scalp already!

It's a year since his debut. He's been called out by at least 5 or 6 flyweights. Maybe more that I'm not aware of. Nobody else in the division, besides maybe Aldo, has made that sort of impact.

Just watching Fight Night Abu Dhabi. Spoiler Alert:

Clay Guida called out Conor after his fight. Think he called him a "cave man with a mullet" or some such. :pac: Not sure why he'd want Conor given he's still in contention for a title shot.

Believe it or not but now I'm starting to think fighters think if they put Conor away it will move them way up the ladder compared to other fights.Maybe they see Conor as a easy road to a title shot.Although did say he wanted Conor to have a fight or two more before fighting some one with experience.

It it amazing how Conor is such a big name after 2 fights in the UFC.

I was kinda sick of Connor's shtick until I heard him say "If he dies, he dies".

Now i'm right back on his side ha!

Was that the 1st time he said it or the 10th?

First. It's one of my favourite movie quotes!

He DID just say the same stuff over and over though. Needs some lessons from Sonnen!

Not to have a go but I've been spotting him on the piss a good bit. Around South William street and then in Sin the other night. I really hope he's in the right mind frame for July

My mate, who frequents the same spots as Connor, sees him all the time! He's forever in Sin apparently.

Does he drink? My mate tells me he sees him with drinks all the time but surely not?

gotta love CmG, but he just sounds like a incoherent drunk when he get on a rant, its embarrassing for him.

Usually find him very entertaining and he usually has a bit of charm along with all the bluster but just found him irritating on the MMA Hour interview. Not his greatest moment.

He has still a lot of growing up to do, I do like him tho,
