Iv met him a few times and he was nothing but nice in person, mainly why I have a soft spot for him. Sound lad when he's on the beer to. Most likely the only person in Ireland who likes him:pax:

Some of his comments are pretty scummy. I've no issue with slagging off other fighters, although calling out a guy 3 divisions below you is a bit sad. But he's repeated taking shots at Ireland in general. "I've more money than the whole of ireland" - whilst talking about getting arrested 30-50 times for fighting and dealing drugs. Stay classy.

Lads if you've "google now" on your phone get rid of it.

I recorded the event last night and without me even doing anything it popped up on my phone this morning that Edgar beat Swanson

You have alerts turned on for that app. Just turn them off.
You probably want to have them off for any MMAJunkie news app.

Why would he? Be nice for him to show he can wrestle, but if finished Siver and Edgar/Mendes/Lamas there would be no denying him the shot

okay bad choice of words, theres obviously no requirement that he prove he can grapple, I Just would like to see how he would get on against a grappler, and I think it would be an amazing fight

riffmongous

I get alerts from MMAjunkie the odd time but they have never had any spoilers in them, usually just announcing title shots

Google Now bases the stuff it shows you on a lot of things. One of these is the websites you visit. If you visit MMA websites, it'll serve you news from similar sites. Whether you have notifications from a particular site switched on or not.

Yeah I know what he said etc but he left a good impression on me anytime iv met him, maybe hes just an idiot, but was more than sound in person!

I have that recorded myself on my camera it was hilarious, id say if he could take back any comments he said he would. Seemed to try clear the air with all the Irish fighters after the Dublin event, obviously people were alot nicer to him than he expected haha

anyone else think edger v mcgegor would be a great fight

Edgar is all wrong for Conor. He's the one guy I would avoid if I was him,

He probably will avoid him. I'd imagine once McGregor either takes the belt or loses in the FW division he'll move up straight away.

Heard him last week on a podcast saying that Irish people only support McGregor so much because we have nothing else to be proud of. Ironically then saying we don't have rugby stars like the English do (nobody told him who the six nations champions are obviously).

He also said that he hates McGregor because he tried to make friends with him in Dublin but McGregor just walked past him :pac:

I think it's the MMA Roasted podcast.

He's been well beaten by the top guys in the division
Think that's as good as he is myself and has just looked good beating guys barely in top ten in the div

Does look like there's a gulf in class between Aldo mendes Conor frankie and maybe lamas and the rest of the div
