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

El Guapo!

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 2.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.
Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function. Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

Exactly, which would therefore lead someone to suggest you were a big McGregor cheerleader because...?

Incidentally, for all the sleuths who speculated he broke up with Dee - she's heard in the above video saying "bend down".

She's obviously pregnant and he's got it in his head to announce it after the fight if/when he wins.

The whole team seemed to be at that Call of Duty/Lad Bible gig! Julian Dalby, Dee, John Kavanagh, Colin Byrne, Charlie Ward, Dillon Danis all there.

I'm guessing Call of Duty have some sort of link-ups with them to publicise the game.

One thing people may not consider, and this might be an abstract point...... There's a lot more pressure on Eddie Alvarez during his fight camp.

By that i mean he is on record as stating he's not made a lot of money and needs this fight. On the other hand, McGregor is minted.

All fighters have in the back of their mind "try not to get injured".

But for this particular fight, a "red panty night", it must be very difficult to go hard in training when you can't afford to lose the fight.

If Eddie gets injured, he may never get the McGregor shot again. Who knows how things would play out. He has the belt, sure, but things could transpire Conor goes a different road. He could lose the belt to Khabib or Ferguson and miss out on the life-changing money.

So i think that gives Conor a huge advantage in terms of fight camp. He can afford to train hard without worrying about his finances should he get injured. Eddie can't do the same.

Kavanagh says that he and McGregor are not close. He had to beat the **** out of Conor on the first day of Conor being in SBG. Interview with Kimmage tomorrow in the Independent.

It was during sparring sessions.

Not like he just knocked her out for the sake of it.

Can see this interview been blown out of proportion.

Without getting into things I think he's lost his objectivity in journalism now. I find him very tiresome now.

Bisping doesn't make a big deal of it at all. Says he does the same.

Conor comes across as very insecure

McGregor didn't message either of them. Believing that would be naive.

I think the opposite - it'll be a convincing KO/TKO victory. Eddie a good match-up for him.

As for stakes involved - i don't think he has a lot to lose. He's set for life financially already and he could walk away from MMA in the morning and straight to Hollywood or Reality TV or Fight Promotion or the unicorn Floyd match.....

Anyway he proved with the Nate Diaz loss that a defeat isn't catastrophic. He may well end his career with something like 30-6 as a record.

I think McGrregor, Danan and a lot of people are underestimating Eddie.

Hahahahah this is terrific comparing Conor to a gangland cartel member ffs,this thread is the gift that keeps on giving.

To be fair, he wasn't far away from ending up in that sort of lifestyle. He remains good friends with Jamie Kavanagh, who had his father murdered by Christy Kinahan and uncle Paul murdered too. He was friends with David Byrne and Paul Kavanagh, both dead. Sure Daniel Kinahan and Byrne were at the Aldo fight and Conor was sitting with them at the Jamie Kavanagh fight November 2015 at the National Boxing Stadium.

I've always wondered was that one reason Tony McGregor moved the family out to Lucan when Conor was 16, to try get him away from all that messing.

if that story is true regarding mcgegor it confirms what many suspected, that is him being a glorified, pumped up thug from inner city Dublin. I hope for his sake it isn't true as he is a great role model for young irish kids and I would hate to see that sort of carry on glamorised. You'd see it from the kinihan crew, not SBG.

I believe Mousasi on this one. Weird stuff. I would like to see the exact wording though as my guess is Conor said "i'd cut you open".

Yep, my guess would be something was lost in translation.

It just doesn't make any sense for a skilled fighter to bring talk of weapons into the conversation.

As for his fine. Suck it up, seriously.

I know many of his fans here are a bit blinded by admiration, and I get that, but he absolutely pelted heavy drink cans into a crowd. Nate, although he started it, gently lobbed a light water bottle into a crowd of McGregors friends.

To me, McGregors reaction is disproportionate, and in percentage terms of what he made, it's a small cost to pay. Man up, pay it, move on and have another big Vegas payday. Now if it's just a ploy to stay on the East Coast, cool. But when he talks of how his 300k camp is just a percentage of his overall income, well, so it is. You can't have it both ways.

This thread and the mma forum in general has been the biggest source of everything mma for me since I got into it around the time Conor fought siver. I hadn't a clue about "cage fighting" before that but jasis Christ as much as it attracts newbies like me it also attracts people who hate stuff and go out of their way to tell you of their hatred, what is the point of it? I'm a massive United fan, I wouldn't dare go into the pool thread slating them as I would be banned for trolling, I know the mods have said plenty about freedom of opinion and all that but maybe this this should be relabeled the mcgreggor fan thread and it would cut out all the hate? Sorry for ranting but I don't get why anyone would post on a subject they have no love for

He's not from inner city Dublin though, and what has the Dublin part got to do with it? if he was from Cork or whatever part of the country these many who suspected where from would it have been suspected he was thug to begin with

Even if something did happen its been blown up and exaggerated and probably doesn't help that Mousasis English isn't perfect. I'd say its nuttin.

Hasn't nick Diaz payed his fine yet?

Apparently not. Seems pretty stupid he's in a great spot to be able to talk his way into a money fight vs Conor and he doesn't have much time to do it really. I guess for any other fight he's likely to get booked for it hardly seems worthwhile paying the fine just to take a fight that will probably only pay around the same at best.
