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.

Kavanagh said and it was just his opinion that the next fight should be against nate at 155. It would the most interesting to him.

This thread gets weirder by the day.

Still buzzing after Saturday night. Unbelievable card.

It's a real event when he is on, kinda like world cup 94.

Why not? Cruz-Aldo would be a great fight, if it were to pan out that way.

I think if Conor hands back the 145 belt. Dominick Cruz will also go for the double in 2017

Rogan just said Conor had a staph infection prior to the first Diaz fight. Thats news to me! Was this known and just slipped by me?

Yeah, it's known. Kavanagh said it on Kenny Florian's podcast if I remember correctly.

John Kavanagh said on The MMA Hour that the reason there probably won't be a homecoming or similar is simply because Conor most likely won't want it. He said that people think it's just the government not sorting it but that the offer was actually there the last time and Conor refused it.

IMO it would still be good however if there was a big crowd there to greet him in the airport at the very least.

He definitely was. He lost to GSP before he lost to Edgar.
After losing the LW belt he went back to 170, but never built up steam for a shot.

Only BJ Penn has attempted it as an incumbent champion. But the opportunity was there for most if not all fighters who were willing.
GSP, Silva, Jones, Aldo, Pettis, Cruz, Mighty Mouse were all link to a shot at some point.

exactly, seems like we always have guys linked to it but outside of bj no-one has taken the chance. To be fair though Conor at 145 is essentially a guy fighting below his ideal division, which really makes his 145 run seem that bit more crazy!

What he deserves is his laptop taken off him and to never be let near photoshop again.

BJ. He lost to GSP before he lost to Edgar. After losing the LW belt he went back to 170, but never built up steam for a shot.
And he won the WW title originally before he won the LW title.

In relation to being the first champ in 2 weights, How many other fighters have had the opportunity to fight for a second belt? I didn't not know if it has or hasn't happened before.

Only BJ Penn has attempted it as an incumbent champion. He failed, he won titles in both divisions separately.
But the opportunity was there for most if not all fighters who were willing.
GSP, Silva, Jones, Aldo, Pettis, Cruz, Mighty Mouse were all link to a shot at some point.

Edit:
Edgar and Demetrious Johnson are two others that fought for a title in another division, but not while champ. 145 and 135 respectively. Both lost.

Who else thought he was retiring in his interview with Rogan after the fight?

Yep. I 100% did. I said to the people who were watching the fight with me that he's retiring here.

The apology line was amazing. :pac:

Conor said March and Dee corrected him that it's actually May.

Rogan asked him: what's next for you Conor?
His grabs the mic, his tone changes, thanks everyone for coming out and been with him all the time getting to the top.

I honestly thought he was going to say I'm at the top, I'm retiring as double champion, I have realized my dream.

I was worried about that too, but it honestly looks like he's definitively not retiring.

As others have said, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't fight again until next Winter. Or perhaps one more fight very early in 2017 before a break.

People need to remember it's not just the fight, it's the months of intense training leading up to it. I just can't see anyone being comfortable making that kind of commitment if their baby is either due within a couple of weeks (and thus Dee would be heavily pregnant and in need of a lot of help and company) or just a few months old. If the baby is due in May (what was up with all the confusion over that

) then he could fight in February, then take the summer off, only training to stay fit and strong, before announcing a fight for November or December 2017 and taking the autumn to get back into full combat training.

That's just an opinion obviously, but I'd be very surprised if he doesn't take that sort of length of time away from competing. I just reckon the training commitment would be something he wouldn't be all that comfortable with at a time like that in their lives.
