    Conor walked away, will probably have to listen to Faber now

    Looked like a tickling match, then Faber got dem feels and didn't want to let go.

    He was looking back like a lost puppy after Conor walked away too..poor Faber :pac:

    Looked like playing at the start

    Their probably all best buds behind doors
    And we all fall for it!

    I thought by Chad running straight over that he knew they would be separated immediately and he wouldn't have to get in for a proper stare down. Bitch move

    Yeah those proper stare downs have been known to cause terrible eye damage if you aren't careful. Real bullet dodged for Mendes there.

    Looked like Mendes got the better of Conor on the stare down.

    Ran over, didn't give Conor the chance for any antics...Conor seemed a little riled up.

    He does look very depleted, his interview with Rogan, he looked tired.


    Again over analyzing all this when it has very little do do with the actual fight
    i was shocked before the siver fight, conor was wrecked that week,must be tough going.

    He neutralized whatever Conor had planned, that would have irked Conor.

    You could see Conor was itching for a staredown but Chad was happy clapping like a seal keeping his distance. This is gonna be one epic fight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,689 ✭✭✭bur


    Is Conor running out of phrases? Didn't bring anything new to the weigh in or the press conference.

    yeah i dont think conor had the excitement in his eyes as per last bouts. i dunno, bad feeling but he looks knackered whereas mendes as a wrestler seems like making weights no bother. conor actually looked shuffled by that.

    Ya I was at the Siver weigh in and Conor looked like a crack addict, same tonight but at least Conor was extremely energetic in his interview...tonight he seemed exhausted in his interview and all round

    What did u want him to say exactly?

    Has done many hours of media build up the last 2 weeks. Should he have new material for ever one.

    Get a grip.

    Fox just showed about 30 Irish lads, shirts off going mental in an empty stand...so random lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,711 ✭✭✭cloudatlas


    For all the money behind that organisation the weigh in wasn't really an event at all was pretty rough.

    That was pretty exciting weigh in,Conor again looked very gaunt in the face and it kind of seemed as though he forgot his lines on the mic.

    Chad looked fresh and didnt seem too gotten to there,the Faber thing is embarrassing like something out of WWE.

    Lol if Conor got "beat up" backstage the night before the fight by the Team Alpha Male goons and he turns up in a full body cast to the octagon, sheds it and somehow miraculously wins

    I would love to know what was said between Faber and McGregor. I'm baffled at how that could possibly happen.

    That is embarrassing, wtf were they at. It looks like John was laughing and his missus wasnt to bothered so maybe just some banter??

    Also McGregor was the only fighter not wearing the Reebok UFC gear

    hmmmm time to put on the conspiracy hat on but that's McGregor heading to the toilet before a weigh in when he was probably been limiting his liquid intake for a day or two now..........

    pretty different from John Kavanagh's too!

    Heavy cotton is good for one thing in that heat.

    Don't think so, the lack of sustenance and the way the hunger effects you, I don't think anyone would be bouncing around.
