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.

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

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!


Reddit /r/MMA is the link if you want to visit

Media and online fans are starting to turn on him.

How does that affect the outcome of the fight?

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.

Is it just me or has the forum been more civil than it usually is in the run up to a Conor fight?

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.

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.

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.
