Holly Holm was 10/1 (trying to get a screenshot of the bet before you say "prove it")

I'd believe she was availible at 10s somewhere at some point.
8s is just what the record books list it as.

I remember it as I was doing a CompTIA net+ course in the building beside it. Right in the window in massive red letters. There is no reason for me to make this up lads. Believe it or dont.

That makes more sense. That would have been a promotion with a fiver or so max.
There was similar on McGregor. But you couldn't drop $100 and each and guarantee

This is what happens when you're a fighter that desperate to stay in the media spotlight without actually fighting. You act like a teenage girl making drama out of the least little thing.

Conor Jr. is much more mature than Conor at this point.

I wouldn't say he's desperate just yet, more like it's in his interests to stay relevant and if you can do that from your couch at 2am then why not. But it's either that or 'he's a coke snorting baby'

What's he doing up at 2am if preparing for the Khabib rematch [that he claims to desperately want] ? Kind of blows that "The rematch is my top priority." claim if he's up at 2am trying to make drama out of nothing.

Up with a week old child I'd imagine.

Lol he doesn't work a normal job where he's up in the morning. He can train at whatever time he feels like/works for him and who knows what his training schedule is.

And as said above, it seems he's had another kid recently.

Newborn child, new whiskey that he's promoting non stop particularly to the American market would be two plausible reasons for being up at that time.

You're effectively saying he should be in bed early if he's to have a rematch in July and FWIW if he creates minor dramas like this then it pays him to do so as I initially mentioned, I don't get the hate on this one tbh

That’s number 1 bull**** in the words of Khabib.

Didn't he direct mail Blindboy Boatclub to threaten him on twitter? and Gegard Mousassi too!

He hates being criticised. There are some well known stories about people that were quite integral to his team in the early UFC days who are no longer with him, purely because they don't worship the ground he works on. I'm a huge fan of him but jaysus he can be an awful handbag sometimes.

Is Axwell CMG?

He's an emotionally crippled man child. any bit of criticism and he's ranting at people. Typical "hard man" howya.

This has to be about Tom Egan? That has always puzzled me, Tom Egan got him started in MMA and was his right hand man, the bang he's gone. He must have dropped a clanger.

Yeah Tom Egan is one. Chris Fields being another. I don't wanna be a gossip queen but I'm sure the stories are out there on Google somewhere.

yeah, and conor has had nothing to do with sbg swords, not even popping in at any point to give chris support.

Conor and John have also had a quiet parting of the ways. John trying to distance himself from the circus. John is a quiet peaceful man and McGregor's antics are counter to that. Conor trains at sbg Naas now and it's an easier commute for him there. John runs sbg dublin and has no involvement in the naas gym.

Do you reckon John will be cornering him in any future fights?

My own opinion is mcgregor and kavanagh are former colleagues at this point. This is just my interpretation. Kavanagh told ariel helwani he hasn't spoke to Conor since the fight. He also said he wouldn't fancy cornering Conor again unless it was a big fight. Conor said he should have trusted his instincts for the khabib fight and not listened to other people. Conor no longer trains with John.

I think he did so much smack talk about loyalty and staying loyal to people he will stay under sbg banner. Can't leave his new child and bird at home either.

He's reached a ceiling. The blueprint to beat him is drag him to the later rounds and wrestle him. He hasn't won a fight since 2016. Would need to go to America and train with someone like zahavi to improve again. Khabib trains with Cain rockhold and cormier. McGregor trains with artem queally and John redmond and some Moldovan randomer. The glory days are over but we will see mcgregor fight again, I just think the secret is out now.

I agree with your post, we've seen the best of him. I always thought him and John had a strange relationship, they're like chalk and cheese, sometimes that works but only for so long. John and SBG have done well out of Conor anyway.

ricero

Some rumours online that he is in for a boxing match with Paulie and negotiations have begun.

If true than khabib was right when he said that he would "send him back to box".

What did he say to blindboy and what was he reacting to from him?

He hasn’t won a fight since 2016.

He fight twice since then, one in boxing against arguably the best boxer of all time and against arguably the best UFC wrestler of all time.

2 fights....

Conor misinterpretation of what blindboy said thought he was saying Conor was gonna be shot like 2pac then said don’t forget u have a bag on ur head make sure u don’t get found in it

Seems to be a bit of talk that Conor and Malignaggi are exploring the possibility of a boxing match.

Here we go again! :pac:

What happened that Netflix special kavanagh was on about? Unless they announce a fight and then release the Netflix yoke as a marketing ploy. Ugh, a build up listening to Paulie and MMA sites posting everything he says, no thanks.

Outlaw Pete

Perhaps Dana feels McGregor's stock has fallen in mma and so wants to get Zuffa boxing underway with a McGregor bout.

Rather see him fighting Ferguson next myself.

pastorbarrett

Be nice to see him getting a w somewhere...Whatever gravitas you afford a fight against Malignaggi (not much personally), a loss there is devastating for his stock.

Who would've thought it, and it seems hyperbole to say it, but in some ways (marketing wise) it's a must win.

Edit: must say disappointed if he does box next.

D'Agger

If he boxes that clown then count me out anyway. The Mayweather circus was watchable because it was something strange, new and different, this will be like a shítty B-side to what that was.

Get back in the Octagon or simply retire - reference the get in, get paid, get out quote of his
