    People think Conor will propose in the octagon after the fight. ****ing hell.

    The moment this thread finally jumped the shark? :pac:

    Calling it now, Conor strolls into the presser on Thursday in his new Coogi jumper proclaiming himself the King of New York like Biggie :P

    I doubt he'd brag in fairness!

    Is there a hint of ufc 196 about all of this in terms of over confidence, or have they got it right beyond any doubt whatsoever?

    It's a measured sense of confidence. The plan for 196 was to go out guns blazing and take Nates head off. Their approach to training is completely different now and while Conor and John are both saying first/second round they know it could easily go 5 rounds and they're prepared for that. They're well aware of Eddie's whole career and how tough he is. A prediction is just words. Eddie's predicting he ends it in the 2nd round too. Why would either take the fight if they weren't confident they could win?

    I am curious as to how everyone thinks the fight will go, have the bookies got it right or is there any conceivable way that conor could lose this event?

    It's quite close with the bookies. Conor's 4/6, Eddie now 6/4.

    The bookies feel there's a very real possibility that McGregor loses this fight, and that it's by no means cut and dry.

    7.41 in Roddy's new vid...Julian Dalby is evidently concerned with energy efficiency in many contexts, sporting a lagging jacket as a fashion piece. You get 'em, doc.

    How old is Mr. Maclife if his auld lad is waking him up to Watch Ali?

    Spoofer.

    gone up on youtube, solid watch! getting bourdain in to narrate was a masterstroke


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    Also, we now know why the MacLife videos are so poor... What an amateur setup.

    You can see the setup yerman is using. Bog standard DSLR with a mic attachment, nothing for stabilising moving video, no monitor, working off a tiny 3" screen...


    Shout out to UFC embeded cameraman running after them like a lunatic, wtf was that about?

    isn't that all you need these days really? similar setup to casey neistat and most vloggers on the go atm...problem with the maclife vlogs is the content more so than anything!

    say he wanted to get a shot of the car pulling away more than likely

    I wish I cared less about the outcome so I could enjoy the fight more. I've become very much emotionally invested in this despite myself!!

    I would relish seeing both Mark Henry and Alvarez eat their words.

    I'm aware of that, just saying whoever thought of it it was a brilliant idea

    Even if you had a few sessions with a PT to develop a programme, then one or two follow ups over the few months and then paid gym fees you'd have change from the 300 to buy yourself some nice rebok fight gear or a few maclife t-shirts.
    I think you'd have change there. But as I said, I don't know Dublin prices.
    I'd expect 6 PT sessions and 3 months gym fees to cost more than €265.
    You can prob get a guy to do it for peanuts, but you know how that saying goes.

    Obviously there's gym cost on top. But I honestly don't think that €265 is that much to spend on health and fitness if you are serious about it. Could rack similar in physiotherapy easily. I've spend way more than that on BJJ this year (training, 5 comps, a seminar, a new Gi). Maybe that's different, as it's something I enjoy rather than a means to an end.
    Not sure is John getting a cut or is it primarily dalby, who while clearly has a background in cardio,it was based in cycling which is a very dirty sport. Would be interesting to see if the results are as good without the use of performance enhancers
    You think cyclists don't have good cardio?

    That's still 4/6 vrs 6/4 is still a reason favourite for McGregor though.
    Obviously they think Eddie can win, but they are expecting to McGregor win to happen about 50% more often.
    (1/2 vrs 2/1 would be 100% more, twice as often)

    Spoofer.

    Maybe!! He was in his early 20's in 1996 when Paul Fox started doing Ninjitsu with him. So he's anything from 42 to 48.

    Ali last fought in MSG in 1977. Even if we put him in the middle at 44 it's very possible his dad woke him up as a 4 year old to sneak down to watch the boxing.

    No idea why anybody would want to spoof about a childhood memory but ...meh.

    That part got to me, lost my dad to cancer recently. I loved when his eyes lit up talking about giving his dad energy and positivity and how they came closer together.

    He really hasn't changed in his mentality. Even back then he was the exact same. I suppose a lot of people don't like the bragging about his cars and money but take that stuff aside and he's the same guy.

    "I'd rather shoot and miss than not shoot at all" - that was the quote from the Walk and Talk that stood out to me. Applies to the 170lb Diaz contests, the 2-belt stuff, the Mac Life FAST, whatever... he'd rather take a shot and miss. Good message for everyone.
