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.

Just watched the fight. Conor demolished him.

Eddie showed great heart to keep getting back up and trying for those take downs.

Alvarez' wife was very annoying, screeching like a kettle the whole fight.

you sure that that wasn't Conor's niece, she was screeching like a banshie all fight

Here is my thinking of things. I think conor should fight in march (possibly paddy's day). Then take some time out to do the father thing. It's looking like msg for November 2017. Love to see conor on this card again. Not sure who I would like to see him fight in March but I reckon it will be kahbib in November.

How many fights are left on his contract? After MacLife we should have MacFight, McGregor Fighting promotions

Instead of looking to buy into the UFC he should set up his own one

The combination to finish was a beautiful thing.

Hopefully he eats nothing but salads and defends against Aldo next, with either Edgar, or Holloway after that.

Then drop the FW title and concentrate on clearing the LW division to cement his place as the UFC (arguably MMA) GOAT.

Boom_Bap

That was f*cking deadly. F*cking. Dead. Ly.

Controlled everything, stopped Eddie from doing his thing, remained extremely calm throughout, stopped the takedown attempt, used that front kick to keep the distance and nailed the combo when the chance came up.

On the replay a few posts back, the f*cking slap you can hear off the shots.

Deadly.

Yeah Dana White posted on twitter to clarify that they didn't drop the ball on that one, it was his own belt to bring in as it wasn't on the line. So his own guys left it behind them.

Anyway got my few hours sleep now, can't wait to watch it back later tonight

Literally got home at 9am after having our usual McGregor fight party in a mates gaf, couple of hours kip, straight up and watched again.

Fantastic performance from Conor, so controlled, it looked like the occasion got to Eddie. Conor looks so calm in there. Those prediction Eddie's chin to be suspect were proven right.

Amazing achievement, by one of our own. Congrats to Conor and his team (Hi John!).

christ almighty I was a wreck watching it. post fight he said his hand was hurt, hence the behind the back thing (thanks conor, I have no nails left after that). It reminded me of weidman v Silva so I was screaming at the TV given what happened there. Also considering the MSG location and history, I thought , that will make an amazing black and white photo some day, Junior looking at the father in a book, hands behind the back, making history.

jesus he made it look like it was easy, I actually didn't see one or two punches they were that fast.

amazing...still shaking here. amazing indeed.

Harking back to Diaz 1(which in MMA is a lifetime ago) is always confusing to me, along with the McTapper name he gets tagged with which even Khabib alluded to. It truly shows how great he is.

It reminds me of those videos on YouTube which show Mayweather almost getting dropped

! They have a million billion views too.

Clutching at straws.

For reference; GSP tapped, Big Nog tapped albeit too late. Maybe it's more acceptable to the masses to prevent a limb break than it is to prevent being choked unconscious?

He needs to put that to rest before proclaiming himself as the greatest/ on a different level.

2 meaningless fights and he should never have been fighting for that title. He's very lucky to be in the position he's in by the UFC. Getting greedy now.

Any estimate on how much he'll have made for the fight?

Think I read somewhere about €18millionish if you add in everything

No links can't remember where I read it but no matter what it will be like this

Well if the guy just stands there it ain't hard is it ?

I'm not trolling,just happened to be awake and had a look at the fight. As an unbiased outsider it looked rigged.

Did you see what happened every single time he tried to do something? He wound up flat on his arse. That's no coincidence, everyone knew before that the stand up was going to be a major issue for Alvarez in this fight and that's exactly what it was. The fight nearly ended about 30 seconds in the first time he tried it, that's the point where they both knew McGregor had this won.

Billy86

Fan f***ing tastic! I'm always a pessimist leading into fights over his chances (or any athlete/sports team I follow for that matter!

), but this was one of the only ones I genuinely felt very confident over, delighted to see him follow through. He's loud, he's cocky, he's arrogant, he's all of those things his detractors say... and he backs it up. Never backs down from a fight, even when Nate beat him at 170 I thought it was exceptionally dumb but he insisted on fighting that weight again and proved me very wrong. Not only out of the ring but in it too, he's got to be the most entertaining fighter in a long time if not ever, first to have two belts, first (if I recall) to win in 3 weight classes, and still maybe most impressive to me was finishing the Holloway fight without a leg way back when.

Browsing the Sherdog thead has been a joy!

As for the Irish people that try and constantly put him down -- tough ****, you're looking at the greatest Irish athlete currently on the go, in terms of what they do! Not only that, but he's fast on his way, if not already up there, with the likes of Katie Taylor, Roy Keane and Brian O'Driscoll (edit: also Tony McCoy if we're including him) in terms of the greatest living Irish athlete. Love him, loathe him or otherwise, that's simply the fact of the matter at this point, and hats off to him for it and long may it continue!
