Official Conor McGregor Thread (READ MOD WARNING IN OP)

pablohoney87

OK guys,

The dust has cleared on the disaster that was the last thread. The biggest culprits won't be joining us here (Or anywhere else on the forum). Others have been warned in PMs.

This thread is a clean slate for everyone but there will be zero tolerance on it.

I remind all users to take a fresh look at the charter before posting here.

FIGHTER BASHING OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

It doesn't take a Masters in English to know the difference between a negative opinion of somebody and name calling.


This Thread is for all things about Connor that won't go into event threads. I.E. all speculation about opponents, his twitter posts, public appearances and media.

Once a fight has been announced and an event named all news relating to that fight can go into the event thread.

My own opinion on McGrogor vs Sanchez (Finally), this is an awful fight for sanchez I think. Especially if he loses to Connor at WW he is finished. Diego gets by with half decent striking and wrestling and the rest on athleticism and aggression.

Conors footwork is just too good to be held against the fence and isnt that much smaller than Diego. If Connor loses he'll probably get his wrist slapped by Dana and told to wise up and stick to 145, worst case scenario. Diego has much much more to lose in this fight and I think his emotions will get the best of him and we'll see something similar to Brimage.

But being honest I don't see the fight happening. Dana is probably getting a bit sick of fighters calling opponents out so publicly and he and his match makers will still want to be seen as the ones pulling the strings.

Any word on a date of this documentary release?. The one that was following him around for months?.

If Rte are smart they will wait until thereis a fight announced for him and cash in on the publicity that will surround that.

Also, Diego seems to be in that weird halfway point between being a bit big for 155 (missing weight v Gomi etc.) and actually being kinda fat at 170. Whenever he fights at 170 he never looks lean, he always has a bit of fat around his waist. He probably wants 170 so he can be lazy in his preparation.

Fight will still never happen at 170 though.

Not too big for 155 at all. Just messed up his cut I'd say

There's a Setanta one being released on the 5th I think. Conor put up a trailer for it. Although it's not solely about him (I don't think).

There's pros/cons for both fighters if that fight at WW was ever to take place **SPOILER: It won't***. Sanchez has experience at the weight. He's fought guys who are natural WW fighters so he knows what to expect and has proven he can stand with them. On the other hand, Sanchez looks as if he loses something when fighting at 170. Sure he can still pull out a win, but I never feel he looks top drawer, or has that edge to his game. I see him as a middleweight, but he needs discipline to make that weight and that's something that's not convincing with Diego

Conor won't have the knowledge/experience of fighting at WW, like Diego has. He's walking in to an unknown. No matter how much he says otherwise, there'll be doubt there about whether he'll have the physique for 170. In saying that, Diego has more to lose. His career would potentially be on the line if he lost to a fighter climbing two weight divisions to fight, off the back of a serious injury. Conor's got the better ability and if it were to translate to WW then Diego wouldn't be able to cope with his movement.

All in all, it's a bit of 'Why bother?'. Seems more a case of the two guys trying to prove they're not afraid, so they're trying to outtalk each other on Twitter. It's too much a risk for either fighter. From Conor's point of view the better option is to take the easier fight, coming back in Dublin. The hype from the event will give him enough publicity that the scale of a potential jump to a WW fight would be overshadowed. He'll be the main draw (even if he's not the main event) on that card, so why take the risk?

Huh???
Did you mean to say WW & LW?

Sanchez has fought most of his career at WW, with two short runs at LW (3 fight run amounting to a loss verses BJ and current 2 fight run). People have said things like "Diego used to be a middleweight". But he wasn't. He has never actually been a MW. He was a small promo WW champ when TUF came along, - there was no guarantee it would happen again, so he entered the "middleweight" bracket as a WW. He immediately jumped down again afterwards.

The fights on the MW season of TUF doesn't makes him a middleweight. Especially when you considered that his opponents were also WWs jumping up to MW. Florian and Koscheck were, and I'm pretty sure the first guy was too.

Didn't he fight Kenny Florian at Middleweight on TUF1?

chrisbag1986

Yes he fought at WW before TUF. Entered the MW category ( same thing Cathal is doing or has done ).

He seems to take a run at a weight class. Lose and then jump up or above.

Sanchez must be thinking it is an easy fight for him ( someone coming up two weight classes to him ). I hope it happens at 155lb or 160 catch would be better IMO.

defo fight of the night potential IF this happens.

Just saw this on facebook. He's really pushing the self-promotion. Like others have said, once he keeps winning it will work well for him, I just hope he's not digging his own grave.

Actually that's exactly what they want. Check out Jon Anik at the show tonight, he'll ask every single winner who he wants next so that they'll call someone out.

It's not that they want an easier job but they do want some buzz surrounding fights aside from "Wow, if fighter A beats fighter B he'll jump up in the rankings.". Nine times out of ten, if a fighter calls someone out he'll get the fight.

Hilarious Conor but oh so wrong

SureYWouldntYa

He also says comeback fight in May/June/July and Sanchez here in September. If he did would be mental in more ways than one

billy2012

He is getting worse.

BeepBeep!

Had to turn it off myself, he's getting tough to listen too. I'll always be a fan but leave the constant expletives and trash talk out at least until you have a fight lined up. I know he's trying to keep himself in the public eye but sometimes going under the radar works best. Just my opinion before the McGregor Fanclub light on me! ;-)

Oregano_State

I think he's just being himself. I found the interview to be easier to listen to than most of his recent stuff. He is stuck over in LA by himself working though his rehab; I think he uses the media to vent. He went too far with the Rousey and Tate thing, and he seems to know where the line is now. Ariel seems to really appreciate him as a guest, as he is more entertaining to interview than 99% of fighters. He gives his honest, and uninhibited views, which, despite the bad language, is refreshing to hear.

Keeping himself relevant is clearly in his mind, but he mentioned repeatedly that he he knows he has a lot of work ahead of him. It's too early to say whether his aim of becoming champion is likely, but you can tell he completely believes in his own ability, which is necessary to get there. The fact that he's more vocal than practically every other fighter does not mean he's cocky, but it has allowed him to gain recognition a lot more quickly than if he'd just fought, won, and kept his mouth shut. It may go against him if he loses prematurely, but then again they may not.

dave1982

To be fair Connor thinks he already has the belt won that's the problem with him, Diego raised a good point that Connor has been beat but unknowns and he's bashing the top 10 in the UFC.

Connor is Ireland's version of Bisping love him or hate him people will want to watch him fight be it to see him win or get KTFO!!

Is the Diego fight likely to happen? I'd have huge respect for Connor if that fight was to happen win or lose.

Hope I didn't break any rules from that post in the Connor McGregor appreciation thread

List of Species spotted so far:

1. Bandwagon McGregor Fans - watched 3 live UFCs ever, all are welcome
2. Rational Haters - want to see him lose and the hype end, believes nobody has any right to hype themselves up til they've beaten 3 top 10 guys
3. Irrational haters - hating just to be different
4. Neutral Fight Fans - highly endangered
5. Overly Posh people - hate straight Dubs and Conor's Swearing and see him as another Dublin Shaper, hate the fact that a lot of people warm to him because he reminds them of somebody who stole their lunch money once
6. Die Hard Protectors - will viciously defend against anyone criticizing Conor's swearing on TV, his combative attitude, commonly citing arrogance as a necessity in MMA
7. The Genuinely Entertained - get a laugh out of him in the media and look forward to his fights and find him to be refreshingly different
8. The Pure Nationalist Fan - delighted to see an Irish MMA fighter on the big stage first and foremost and long for that Epic Olay Olay Barry McGuigan RDS moment... in the O2.


I'm a 7... with a touch of 6 and 8.

2,3 and 8 for me, delighted we have Irish fighter in the UFC but sadly he's coming across wrong.People will probably tolerate it for a while

It depends. I take it as it happens because I know it's just his personality. He's just whacky, loves talking **** and being hyperbolic. That's 100% fine in my book - he's being honest. Whether you like it or not is up to you. Being honest, I think he's hilarious. His manic laugh is the best.

I'm pretty much done with this forum now because of what's posted on it. This and the martial arts forum used to be such a hotbed of Irish MMA and Martial Arts. A lot of people just refuse to come here now because of how it's changed.

You've joined this forum with the intention of bashing fighters and people. I also notice you big up Tommy McCafferty in another post. I've trained with Tommy and he's a beast but you must be from that gym , an affiliate of the gym I train with, or the surrounding area. The Gym that James Gallagher trained with before moving up to live with John Kavanagh. Which I would guess you know him, have trained with him and more importantly said all of the nice things in the world to him face to face, but come on here and bash on a forum.

nah I don't train with either or, just by reading his facebook and watchin tommy smash ben davis and also watching artem fight as well , this is where my opinions are from

El Guapo!

Mod: The last thread on this was so much of a disaster that it had to be locked. I don't want the same thing to happen to this thread. We'd rather take a hands off approach in this forum and we'd like to think people in here are adult enough to leave the petty remarks away from the forum. But if that can't be done, then the thread will be locked for good. Don't start all the crap again.



And, @ barry burp, don't post in this thread again.

Chewabacca

I fully agree with what was posted above in regards to the bashing. This forum used to be the best place to post, full of intelligent, well thought out fight discussion, be it international or national. It's becoming like sherdog, everyone posts like they know better than the fighters and trainers and have no problem mindlessly insulting fighters or other posters.

What's the most amazing is that all logic and decency goes out the window any time the discussion points to Connor. Some threads are perfectly fine and some go completely out of hand.

He's likely going to be on the JRE next week. Be interested in seeing him on for two hours.

Yeah will be interesting to hear what they talk about, I have a feeling that the two of them operate on completely different wavelengths. Doubt that Connor has any interest in discussing Bigfoot or psychadelics.

As long as we hear anything other than 'positive thinking' and 'in my eyes I'm already the champ' I'll be happy. I have a feeling they'd spend a good portion of it talking about MMA, which is rarer than you'd think in the JRE.

Yeah I listen to JRE all the time and there's barely any MMA talk. Even when they have MMA guys on there they end up talking about no MMA related stuff. Particular highlights are guys like John McAfee, Victor Conte, Michael Ruppert etc. Great show!

magic_murph

Is Conor confirmed for the JRE?

Love JRE so looking forward to this one. Hopefully we see a bit more to Conor than what we see on the MMA hour and other short interviews.

I remember a time when the Irish MMA community on boards used it to communicate and inform of upcoming events and seminars and the like. The guys who used to post were veterans of one form or another, or at least used to train regularly if not active competitively. Now it seems that all that happens is insults and bashing by people who have no idea of the sacrifice and hard work and suffering (both physical and financial) that goes with being a pro mma fighter in Ireland.
People coming on bashing one guy or another is beyond childish lads. If so and so wants to wear a tutu and claim to be the next UFC champ fair play to him if he trains hard etc. What harm is he doing?

As regards to Conot McGregor, Stevie Wonder could see what he is doing. Despite what has been posted in the previous thread Conor is a very smart man. He knows this injury has put him out at a most inopportune time in h is career. His career was on the rise so he must ensure he stays relevant and talked about. (Insert Oscar Wilde quote here.) Not that i necessarily agree withthe manner in which this is achieved. I do think the ends will justify the means in this case. I'm sure the lad knows his career may be short so he's gonna try make himself into a brand so he can make as much money off himself as possible. He knows his career could be over tomorrow with any injury. He's only trying to get paid. Also he MADE IT in terms of MMA he's on the big show. The dude is obviously very skilled at what he does. If i was as skilled etc I would release a rap album "biggin' up" my skills nevermind youtube videos. So lads lets not begrudge the lad any success and take everything done with a pinch of salt. There is method to what he is doing. Fair play to Mods for keeping the silliness to a minimum on this thread.

dave1982

To be fair I don't think no one is bashing Connors skills its more his attitude that people take issue with, which people are allowed have a opinion just like you expressed your just now.

I wish Connor every success but its time for Connor to walk the walk now and fight the top 10 which he is willing to do.

You are right that it is obvious what he is doing but if he bothers people it is probably understandable. It wouldnt be me getting emotionally invested and getting annoyed with him but it doesnt have to be all champagne and strawberrys. Without personal insults there is nothing wrong than stating your personal opinion. I find the majority of people like "stars" who are more genuine and down to earth, so maybe when they see more arrogance they think he is arrogant. My main point is that this is a forum and people dont have to go with the majority.

Exactly look at Gunni Nelson. I'm sure someone will jump down my throat cuz we all love a bit of Gunni. But reality is he was on a 2 fight win streak and since his injury has lost a lot of relevance and faded into obscurity in the minds of the casual fans. Looking forward to seeing back now. But yes Conor is a smart smart man and has the persona to do it.

McGregor, Pendred and Kavanagh are on 2FM right now.
