Official Conor McGregor thread (part 2). **Read warning in 1st post**

30 mins till Operation Backfire commences. Nobody is bigger then an organization. McGregor will find out the hard way and hopefully sack whomever is giving him advice.

Can't wait till this madness is over with. :mad:

The conference was always set for 10pm GMT.

10pm GMT is 11pm at the moment so don't think that's right is it? It starts in 20 minutes right?

It starts whenever I say it starts lads calm down.

About 10pm maybe a bit later depends how I'm feeling.

You are actually indeed correct - it starts in 18 mins either way.

Will be funny if Dana gets some Cormier-esque boos.

A press conference for a milestone event for the UFC....with no headliner. What a mess.

Cheers had just googled Vegas time to be sure! It'll be funny if it gets delayed an hour now!

Just seen a pic of the table, headline spots have no name tags.... Imagine conor and Nate walked out :pac:

Dana just tweeted it's in 20minutes. Then every comment on reply is about Conor.

To be honest its going to be a conference with every question asked being about Conor McGregor, pretty much every other fighter is going to be sitting there bored for the whole thing. Nate will get asked a few on what he thinks and who he would like to fight but for the most its going to be about Conor.

Wouldn't exactly call that Operation backfire..he wont be there and everyone will still be talking about him. He asked for some leeway, they didn't give it. Both parties stood their ground and that's that. UFC 200 happens without him and we still probably see him on the New York card. Hopefully they announce who is fighting Diaz and they add GSP to the card and then the internet goes back to normal...till Conor's next tweet.

Would be a massacre for Nate, look at what Rory done to him.

Any time he's tweeted anything (even the one about Prince) has just had Non-stop Conor replies! Guessing he doesn't read replies but hopefully this time he has had a little look and is getting the message!

If GSP was within 1000 miles of Vegas, it would have leaked by now.

just put the idea in my head of gsp skulking around the mgm in a fake moustache and sunglasses :D:D

Does anyone know if Nate is even going to be there? He might be the only entertaining part of the whole conference.

I'm sure Dana is making sure everyone is there - bit controversial to let someone off promotional duties with the week thats been in it and all :pac:

Surely Nate gets a pass, what with having no dance partner and all?

He'll look like the ugly girl at the disco up there, all by his lonesome.

Nah they don't sell shirts. It's mainly just frozen foods...

Swashbuckler

My guess is Conor is off the card. They're working on a replacement. Wait and see how clean Jones comes out of his fight and Jones v Cormier becomes new headliner. So it'll all be a bit cagey from Dana but Conor will be off the card.

McGregor asked for some leeway on promoting and White said no. McGregor then decides that he'll devise a stunt that will cause him to rethink his decision. If White stands firm then surely it all backfired on McGregor, no?

Yes back to normal will be great. GL

ASOT

I'd tell you all who the new main event is but I can't because of legal ramifications.

Nate not being there would just cause the internet to blow up with more conspiracy theories. Hes gonna be nearly the only fighter on the stage going to get asked questions at this stage.
