    I'm sure hes more qualified in business and is surrounded with smart people who thought of all this and decided today was the best time to release it than me or you posting on boards,

    Anyways is there a countdown show or was that history yoke it?

    I'm not certain but i think Fighting for History was it. Plus the McGregor-Diaz 2 Flashback episode which was brilliant but was only on FS1 so far. Showed some great footage of each corner and the families in the crowd.

    The UFC need to put more of Chris Weidman on these Embeddeds this week, after all the work he did to get it legalized it would be a shame if he's the forgotten man.

    Do you need to over-state your height to sign up for the programme?

    I still just question the wisdom of releasing it this week as opposed to next week when his schedule is free.

    When he will also have less hype around him and could possibly be the loser from the title fight.

    He could also lose the fight in the 4th round after gassing out from incredible volume which would destroy his program immediately. I.e. Releasing it this week doesn't remove the impact a potential defeat will have on the success of the initiative.

    I admire his entrepenurial spirit, big time, despite being rich he's still trying to grow businesses for the future, creating jobs etc for when his fighting days are up and anything that promotes fitness is a good thing.

    My only criticism, which i've rehashed now enough times, is the timing of this announcement feels wrong to me. He doesn't need the abuse online, he doesn't need journalists questioning him about it and, of course, Eddie is gonna take the p1ss out of it at the presser thursday.

    Ah quite decent bit of shopping and training, Im surprised they picked that hotel he's in instead of a private apartment somewhere because it appears its getting camped on by fans hounding him now.

    I'm chilled. I want Conor to be too.

    You've been arguing for the last 2 pages that he won't even read the criticism or respond to it. Well, there's your answer - a lengthy Facebook reply defending himself and his product in the face of criticism.

    Absolutely needless to deal with it this week.

    I'll move on.... just saying it's beyond me why he didn't release it next monday as a 2-weight champion.

    That didnt look like defending himself/ his product from criticism to me. It was just a post extolling the virtues of his program.

    Anyway, was that the 'big announcement'? Thats a bit of a let down tbh.

    TBH the big announcement (if there ever was one) would seem likely to do with Dee's long overcoats, long scarfs, and them refusing to show her from the front on camera without being covered up.

    I.e. Pregnant.

    Given he hasn't officially announced it, i'll guess he'll choose the post-fight victory speech to get all romantic, maybe propose or whatever.

    I've no clue, just guessing. I'd say whatever he's announcing depends on winning. Can't see him breaking any sort of huge news in the event he loses.

    This whole announcement thing got blown way out of proportion. A little comment from Dana and it was headline news. Thing of nothing.

    Kavnagh and Conor himself have mentioned "Big announcement" a good few times now.

    Conor is a man I respect and admire more than anybody in the world.

    It is with that in mind I hope to God he doesn't propose in the ring after the fight

    Sure thats not a big announcement to anyone other than to his and her family etc.

    Unless of course you imagine his offspring as some sort of super child.

    'One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.'

    How dare you.

    A Conor McGregor child will come out of the womb ready to challenge Mighty Mouse.

    No way he does something as cringey as that. If he did, I'd cheer for him to be beaten in every fight after it.

    Jesus Christ.

    Really? I mean he's a great fighter and a sound lad but... Not exactly a Nobel laureate is he?

    Sure he is a role model but c'mon.

    I can see him proposing after the fight if he wins to be honest.
    I cringe at stuff like that. But I think he will do it.

    My guess is John and Conor saw how it was getting blown out of proportion and just went along with it for the craic. But we'll see.
