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.

I think the overall character of a person is pretty important in the long run.

You would look at a fighter differently if you knew he was a wife beater at home wouldn't you? A paedophile? A buddy buddy with a brutal dictator etc

You need to be very careful who you hitch your wagon to, who you champion and put forward as a bastion of goodness. I couldn't support some people if I knew certain things about them - just for the record, a twitter spat between two grown men isn't going to be one of them.

Ah here what you're suggesting is totally off the scale and pretty obvious to any Sane person that that behaviour isn't on.

But a few words in the heat of the moment on twitter isn't a crime.

We have all said stupid things, every one of us.

But murdering someone we haven't.

Funny how we watch 2 men beat each other a bloody pulp, cheer it on (jump up and down to it in some cases) .....yet the use of a few words turns some into Mary Whitehouse......McGregor has also said many times he'll take his opponents head clean off, I don't think he means it

These two fighters are grown men who beat the **** out of people for a living.

Leave them have their little handbags on social media and focus on what they do in the ring.

This is another aspect of the negative effect of this McGregor worship phenomenon I think..
"Good on him for mouthing to get attention..he's trying to get himself noticed and good on him for it.."...it's like people applauding a bold child who won't shut up in class..I dunno..it's not something that should be encouraged

I was clearly talking about Mousasi when I made that comment and you can bet he wouldn't be getting the column inches and interview time he is currently getting had he not said what he said after he won.

As for blaming McGregor for it, what a load of nonsense. MMA fighters have been calling each other since the sport was founded. Chael Sonnen, Jones, Diaz brothers etc etc all trash talked other fighters down the years.

And it's not just MMA of course, Boxing always traditionally had fighters calling each other out. Lewis, Tyson etc.

Wasn't one of the lads messaging his missus some weird messages. "Send me nudes" type stuff, with his own girlfriend in his profile pic. To be honest, I'd be hanging that fella out to dry too. Can't comment on some other as I haven't seen them all.

Come on. The guy is mouthing to get some attention and good on him for it, but McGregor has not done anything wrong here. Good on Mousasi for trying to get himself noticed but tbf he it seems like a bit of drama queen to me if he's gonna start suggesting people are threatening him with a knife and he knew damn well it wasn't a threat as he said to Ariel that Conor was trying to be "philosophical". So if he knew that, why claim Conor was threatening him?

Conor randomly messaged him cursing him out of it.

Well, Mousasi had a go at him after his win and so I think McGregor was right to have a go back... but he should have done it via a tweet, not a private message.

It just bugs me the way Mousasi said he threatened him with a knife when he knew it was just an analogy Conor was making.

Be interesting to if the messages come out and to see what was said initially, as who knows but maybe they started off a bit lighthearted but just turned nasty. Something tells me that a lot of what is said to Mousasi is lost in translation.

We'll see how it plays out. The UFC would be wise to try get Mousasi wedged on to the already stacked UFC 205 card!! Why not sure, feck it. More drama.

Wouldn't surprise me alright.

Ah lads, Mousasi was insinuating that because Conor is much lighter, he'd be of no threat.

Which is true, but the humour and tone of it is lost as we are reading it rather than seeing him say it.

Imagine if they were both at some presser and Mousasi said to Conor "What are you gonna do with your 50 kilos" and we saw him just turn calmly to him and say "Well, a knife is lighter than a pound but it could still cut you from ear to ear" ...... we'd be breaking our holes laughing.

Fcuking thing would go viral.

Conor randomly messaged him cursing him out of it.

Gegard then replied "what you gonna do you weigh 150lbs"

Conor then says "a knife is lighter than a pound it'd cut from ear to ear".

Gegard "woo i'm scared big man say it to my face".

The point is this - you're right, if that interaction happened at a presser it'd be different.

But for Conor to take the trouble to curse Mousasi out in a PM ..... that just strikes me as insecurity and wanting to act hard.

We'll see how it plays out. The UFC would be wise to try get Mousasi wedged on to the already stacked UFC 205 card!! Why not sure, feck it. More drama.

If you believe that this guy who sent him the messages is being serious then you need to have a word with yourself mate.

Its a obvious spoof.

A lot of effort for a spoof to write an essay on random coaching thoughts, send it in a private email (where nobody will see the spoof!) and to ask not to post his real name in public!!

Spoof or not if someone messaged me on here with their real name and asked to keep it private, i'd keep it private.

Lads click the unfollow button if you dont like his social media postings, its all gone too PC I personally have no bother with him posting them screenshots from absolute headaballs,

I think hes a bit too vocal on social media myself trying to get some limelight,for example would you ever see Winklejohn or greg jackson up to that nonsense on twitter?,I also find his mentioning of his bird very strange its like hes never had a woman and now he cant contain himself,again I follow him because I like his coaching and a lot of his idea's on martial arts he has some pearls of wisdom so I let the trivial stuff fly.

My girlfriend bought me the Kav book (20 fecking euro in Easons)...almost wish she hadn't now.

Same goes for Conor, his drive and determination is inspirational. The other aspects of his personality not so much

It's a very strange way for John to get his kicks from. He has made his money, has a successful business and stunning girlfriend but gets his cheap thrills from that? Yuck.

With Kavanagh doing that and Conor threatening Mousasi with a knife threat then maybe the commission was right and that they could both do with media training!!

People bullied at any stage in their life often go on to become bullies themselves when they get some power.

Kavanagh is no different.

Yeah the journalists "crime" in Kavanaghs eyes was emailing Orlagh 4 times in the space of an hour looking for an "urgent comment on a breaking issue".

Then when Kavanagh found out it was just the Mayweather rumour, he hit the roof.

Ridiculous stuff. And yeah he's got strong ties to the Bahrain Royal Family.

Yeah to be honest he does some sickening stuff at times. He might think it's great craic altogether to take the p1ss out of someone who sends him what he finds to be stupid messages. What he doesn't realise is publicly humiliating a person on facebook, posting their screenshots, their real name, can often ruin someones life!

If a person lives in their own quiet little world and suddenly are humiliated and made to look a fool by Kavanagh to 100,000 of McGregors fans....they usually end up having to delete their whole facebook.

I dunno. Maybe i'm easily annoyed. But it makes my blood boil when i see people in positions of power abuse that power.

I could maybe understand if he was shaming a troll. Or a Diaz fan. Or someone saying they would bang his missus. But the stuff he actually mocks is pathetic.

How do you know this?

What, because he has a handful of posts in this forum? He might have a snoop every so often but I doubt he is looking at this RIGHT NOW.

And even if he is, why would he bother his ass responding to any of this!!?

He couldn't give a monkeys what I or anybody else has to say

There's no such thing as constructive criticism in his world. He's all about positivity and yes-men or Get the Fook Out.
