    I wonder how much the Independent paid them to wear them.

    I'd say he paid them to post the pics and article. Some good nice guy family man PR exercise after all the hookers and cocaine

    Definitely a PR stunt. Whenever you see couple in matching outfits in articles like this its a dead giveaway that its a publicity stunt. He's turned into a desperate attention seeker like Alex Reid. Next thing we know Conor will also have a cross dressing alter ego.

    I'm all for a bit of jousting and poking fun at McGregor at times.

    But that post is just nasty and bitter.

    Yeah, and your previous one just oozed class, didn't it.

    Yeah apparently it's ok to call Cris Cyborg "multigendered" (whatever the hell that is) and still act offended on behalf of others.

    I don't know whats worse.

    The week leading up to fight night, or the lack of any fight news at all.

    People in here are getting horrid testy.

    The latter is far, far worse.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,411 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    Ah I'm not so sure. During fight week you have to put up with the daily "what time will Mcgregor be fighting at?" posts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,467 ✭✭✭Inviere


    Ah I'm not so sure. During fight week you have to put up with the daily "what time will Mcgregor be fighting at?" posts.

    I'll read that any day, compared to what he's doing in his own time, what drugs he's allegedly taking, who he beat up, how his dad is meeting kingpins to negotiate for Conor's life, how he has fifteen women pregnant but only slept with twelve of them, how the Indo paid him & Dee to wear a onesie, how Conor Junior was seen starting a fight in a private creche, how Dee kicked him out and he's investing in a new Treehouse business, and all manner of shite that simply matters to no one or no thing.

    You're giving far too much credit to a considerable proportion of posters on the MMA forum. A lot of it matters a LOT of it to plenty on here.

    Not really it doesn't, the scutter that's posted here (and other places) is forgotten ten seconds after its typed I reckon.

    Prediction: McGregor's next fight will be announced on Friday. Ariel Helwani has posted that they're having a big press conference on Friday to showcase the first quarter of next year. They usually announce new fights at those events. And today, McGregor's girlfriend posted a picture of the two of them getting ready to travel. Could be to Vegas. McGregor/Ferguson for March is my guess. Could be totally wrong but I have a good feeling about it. MMA Gods be good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,486 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    For the sanity of this thread, I hope you're right man, fight announcement Friday would be class.

    You could be right. Conor was in NYC recently and I'd imagine be spoke to the UFC at some point with a view to making this deal. UFC would love to close out the year with this announcement imo. Where did you see the photo of Dee preparing to travel?

    He was in NY to get paid his PPV points for MayMac, he definitely was talking to the UFC.

    It'd be great if Conor does show up that he's in the form he was for the Go Big Presser. That remains my favourite press conference when Conor was at his most natural, partially because he wasn't expected to live up to anything.

    The expectations for him to deliver craziness grew as time went by. The "animal balloons" line at the UFC 196 presser felt rehearsed. The late arrivals grew even later. The water bottle throwing incident wasn't planned but it heightened expectations. Then he took things to new levels showing up in crazy outfits, saying crazy stuff.

    Conor is at risk of not just becoming the character he created for himself but a caricature of it. He's constantly trying to say/do/wear crazier sh1t. I hope he doesn't completely jump the shark and, if he is attending this presser, that he just turns up, be himself and I'm sure he'll make plenty of headlines either way.

    Right, on a personal level the Xmas period has been a difficult one and I'm working through some crisis issues. I consider all of you friends and a lot of you have my email address or phone number, so feel free to use it. If you don't have it and want it, I'm sure Axwell can give it via PM. Giving the chop to Twitter & Boards so I can focus on finding stability with my mental & physical health.

    2018 Predictions:

    * Conor to announce himself as a) co-owner of the UFC (Probably just shares in the company but morphing towards a Vince McMahon style gimmick) and b) co-owner of the new Paradigm-McGregor Management company.

    * Conor v Nate 3 with a co-headline of GSP vs Woodley (win for GSP) on the August 18th Vegas card for the UFC to make a huge final push to attract higher bids before the current tv-rights deal expires November 2018.

    * Conor fights three times in total (all MMA), with one appearance in WWE - Ferguson in March, Nate in August, GSP (welterweight title shot) in November at MSG. In that sequence regardless of wins/losses but I think he wins them all for an historic year.

    * Conor to end the year P4P #1 and the only SBG fighter remaining in the UFC.

    * DC to lose the title to Oezdemir via 1st round KO and retires in the cage. Alexander Gustafsson to end the year as champion.

    * Brock vs Ngannou to headline International fight week for the heavyweight title with Brock winning with GNP via wrestle-fcuk. Brock's comeback approved in a deal between Dana and Vince, after Conor granted permission to appear at Wrestlemania 34.

    * DC un-retires to fight Werdum for the heavyweight title after Brock vacates.

    * CM Punk to fight twice in MMA (0-2 but competitive) and appear in WWE.

    * Ronda vs Cyborg to headline the end-of-year show, December 29th, 2018, breaking the new PPV record set the month previous by Conor. Ronda also to pull off a Rocky-style upset win in the fight (judo + armbar = win) before delivering a speech about adversity.

    * Holloway, TJ, Nunes and Rockhold to go undefeated in 2018.

    * JJ to win her title back in dominant fashion. Shevchenko to become women's flyweight champion. JJ beats Shevchenko to become 2-division champion on the Rousey-Cyborg card.

    * Mighty Mouse does not fight TJ and becomes as popular as a mini-Woodley, despite extending the title defence record by 3, beating Cejudo and Benavidez again.

    * Gunni to retire following another KO defeat citing his health, Artem to sign with Bellator, Charlie Ward and John Phillips cut, Dillon Danis and James Gallagher both to submit 2 tomato cans in impressive fashion.

    * Chael to reach the final of the Bellator tournament (wrestling I guess) before a "super-fight" with a returning Chuck Liddell at the end of the year.

    If you're gonna make predictions, might as well go as specific as possible I guess ;) Ok that's me done.

    I'll be back. Happy new year in advance :)
