Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match

Axwell

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 3.

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.

**Upate with Mayweather vs McGregor announced**

Lads consider this the one and only warning - big fight with a lot of hype around it. It brings new fans to the forum as well as the regulars so try and get along. Any trolling or nonsense and people will find themselves on a break from the forum and that applies to everyone.

All good points in the remainder of your post. Well he's some man coz there's not another fighter out there that could manage those distractions and an actual fight . Had to laugh at John during the Khabib altercation. Arms folded. Not a bother. Haha.

Not as if he had anything to really worry about to be fair. They were mouthing at each other over the top of some fairly sizeable security lads. The chances of any sort of physical confrontation were minute to non-existent.

Was thinking more along the lines of his guy is going around having altercations with everyone and he doesn't look a bit concerned which tells me I'm worried about nothing I guess.

Fan boys are cray, conner acting the complete twat, mink coat haha, calling an interviewer a burn victim, being that tiny fella who only starts **** when a big boys there to hold him back, former welfare bin dipper now classic vulgar new money, 100% if he did not drape a tricolour round his neck and come from Ireland you guys would hate him.

Mod: Dropping in to troll and call fighters 'bin dippers' is a quick way to get yourself banned...cut the nonsense

I'd be the first to admit if he wasn't Irish I'd have no interest in him because I'd never have been drawn to sport to begin with .....It's him that got my attention, so in turn so did mma/ufc........even still I'd only watch the main events on the big shows, it's still for the most part a dull spectacle but for the true aficionados ........look at the press conferences, the wiegh-ins without McGregor it's a boring affair .......if that makes me a fanboy I'll hold my hand up

I think Conor gets a shock defeat tonight. I think he is losing his way in marketing himself.

Media and online fans are starting to turn on him.

I know your possibly fishing but can you back these claims up with any sort of evidence?

It's hardly a "shock" if he loses to a guy who is the current world champion.

Sure he might be the bookies fav, and most here tip him, but it's marginal and entirely possible in the UFC that Eddie wins this fight.

Wouldn't call it a shock. I fancy Conor to win but it would be no shock of Eddie wins.

Online fans? I think it's a given that the likes of youtube, sherdog etc online "fans" are twats. The lovers and the haters.

There was a guardian article.

On Reddit MMA he is getting slaughtered last few days.

Examples include he still had the price tag in his jacket, Woodley called him out for trying to start something with Alvarez behind two bodyguards!

oh you mean the guardian?? the British Guardian newspaper, the same side of the pond that tried to claim him in the beginning as being from the UK. The same side of the pond that were told to Foooook off at same??

well jeeeeshhh chief I've no idea why they'd be trying to generate any loathing antipathy for a successful IRISH man in any way!

that's a real surprise and shame with it.

Does anybody else think that Conor appears a little unstable at present? A genuine question btw.

Conor is just thinking ahead imo. I think he knows he's going to KO Eddie and is laying the seeds for the next big fight, Khabib or even Woodley/Wonderboy for the 3 belts. If any featherweight is crazy enough to get in there with a Welterweight champ it's Conor.

No he did the exact same for Diaz 2, went absolutely nuts in the days before the fight and as John Kavanagh said he came off stage after that weigh in said "the illusion of insanity is over" and we saw the most calm mgregor in the octagon. Exact same here, it's nothing more than a game, and ye can tell he's having fun doing it.

I thought so too. When he was pacing after mouthing off at Woodley who just ignored him he looked like a guy with **** on his mind. On stage antics all seems a bit flat and forced too.

Doesn't seem like he did before stirring **** and loving it but ya never know. If he is im sure he'll be fucussed for the fight anyway.

Lads is anyone else concerned with Conor having words with all these guys so close to a fight? I know we've seen him go mental at the weigh in before and then refocus but he's now had a go at Woodley twice and Khabib. If this was Eddie we'd be saying he's lost it.

Id be more worried about the input the lads would be feeding Alverez as they have all watched plenty of tape of Mcgregor.

In fairness a lot of that is down to the work the mods do on the MMA forum.

This entire post is gibberish. The Guardian article had nothing to do with "generating any loathing". It was about the fact that, from the author's point of view (one you're entirely free to disagree with), McGregor isn't as entertaining in press conferences, weigh ins etc as so much of his stuff is evidently rehearsed and increasingly devoid of wit. I dunno, perhaps you think repeatedly saying "I don't give a ****" is gas craic altogether.

Tyron is just jealous. Selling his footage to TMZ is embarrassing.

Him acting as if pointing out that McGrgeor didn't really want to fight Eddie on the stage is some kind of big reveal is also embarrassing. Does he really think people aren't aware that a large chunk of it all is theatrics?? Sure many of the face offs themselves down the years have always been theatrical ffs.

I find his 'Don't make me go Ferguson' twitter rants far more cringeworthy as he was being 100% serious.

Hope Wonderboy knocks him spark out.

In fairness its typical, if Conor starts losing people will turn on him. When he lost to Diaz the first time a lot of fans turned on him for a little while but when he got the W back, it was forgotten about. I think Conor will need more than one lose though before fans will turn on him though.

The thought never entered my mind. But when you think about it, is it that crazy to see Conor as president (of the UFC)?

"Will Conor McGregor become the next UFC president?"
