Last time his fight was on v aldo, I left my mates gaf soon after it was over.
Their was more people on the streets that night then their was during the day

I shall watch on a free stream and I do hope he gets beaten

Regarding the seemingly unpatriotic comment, he's not representing Ireland, he's representing himself and he's a w@nker.

I'll tape it and watch it over breakfast. Last time I stayed up all night and waited so long and it only lasted 13 seconds. Actually, it reminded me of the first time I had sex.

Now IMV anyone who watches this spectacle of battering is ill.

But then again as a gurrrlll I suppose I am banned for saying this. MMA is something else, but must be a man thing. And the tatts. FGS. All wrong for me.

But who am I?

Boxing is different, it is skilled and there are rules. Don't like it much either has to be said.

Anyway, all these fight things are rigged. For the betting. Have to be. Mafia controlled and conspiracy theories here.

The money made is just off the feckin scale really.

Anyway..

NO I will not be watching. I will be knitting instead. Thank you.

Business model
Drum up support, some gnomes have to pay to watch for his pocket to get lined.

He's generally speaking about how great he is and how is opponent is a coward etc.... add in some Rolex chat and mention of where he gets his ghastly unfashionable attire and that's 99% of his speel.

KERSPLAT!

As stated in the OP, we'll use this for all McGregor v Diaz talk for the night. No other threads please.

He's actually a really nice guy behind it all, and does lots of charitable stuff out of his own accord (ie not for publicity). The sh1te he says is part of the gig - it's what makes him rich, more or less. The attention garnered by his (admittedly brilliant) insults and cockiness is drawing lots and lots of viewers to UFC, and as a result, lots of money for the UFC, Conor and his opponents.

I won't be watching it because I don't see how I'm going to stay awake 'till 6.30am (where I live), and I don't fancy waking up at 6am just to watch it either. I'll watch a replay tomorrow.

I don't know the cnut so I can only judge on the all, and that points to him being a w@nker.

I really hope he gets beaten tonight after getting hammered in several rounds, don't want any lucky punch defence speel tomorrow.

No, won't be staying up, last time, I think it was pencilled in for 1am and it ran 4 hrs, I woke up at 5, went to twitter and thought people were taking the p1ss.

He walks the walk, talks the talk, can't knock him, he's good at what he does and now's how to make the money.

Can't stand the sport though, am quite ignorant about it but imo punching someone when they are down is not on

He didn't have the Irish flag with him last night at the weigh in, plus he didn't even mention the Irish fans when talking to joe rogan after the weigh in.

That's cause there's no Irish fans out there, they've all blown their dole savings from his last fight out there

This is a gender neutral comment, because if a man came out with it would be equally as wrong. You realise the lads involved usually have trained for years in boxing, various types of wrestling, and martial arts.......?

You sound like such a nice upstanding member of society yourself :rolleyes:

To be honest I cant get the McGregor hate, I think he's gas. The thrash talk goes with the sport and we dont have many athletes in this small country on top of their sport. Himself, Katie, Rob Heffernan off the top of my head but thats it. He's living his dream no matter what the result and good luck to him.

Just like any other success story though, the pathetic knockers cant queue up fast enough. He's living the dream, good luck to him I say. A few more like him that actually go out there, chase the dream and succeed is what we need and not fence sitting tossers amounting to nothing and taking up space.

So, it's clear that we're going to need some rules and I know how much you all love rules so I've started a new thread and put them all in the first post.
