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.

Aldo wasnt ready for a rematch till the summer at the very earliest so dont see how hes holding it up ages like people claim, 5 months max hes holding it up.

I can't see Aldo accepting this promotion without fighting McGregor. UFC further pissing off Aldo. Madness altogether.

ASOT

At the end of the day he should have fought Aldo or gave a commitment to fight him next.

Gamebred

People on about deserving this and that if you play that game how on gods earth is Pettis fighting for any sort of belt when hes lost 3 of his last 4 fights.

Didn't work out too well for them though. I thought the sale was announced after 200 anyway?

Well they kept him off the card he wanted to fight on and it made him retreat a bit, now hes even more leverage so who knows what happens think it might depend on Ronda winning or losing,

Acc to MMAFighting.com its official now Pettis Holloway for the interim Conor has been stripped, 2nd time Aldo has been handed the fw belt now without fighting for it.

They called his bluff with the UFC200 thing when nobody expected that so dont be surprised, hes gone even bigger now but these investors are ruthless.

Smart move alienating your biggest draw.

Exactlly why i think it wont happen; its a fairly big 4b hole there getting out of; when Nunes beats Rousey theres only really McGregor left.

I think the belt is gonna be taken of him as a bit of a know your place type of thing from the new owners. The new bosses of the UFC will want to make a statement that they run the show and for McGregor to forget about owning shares in the company unless he wants to buy them of someone.

Wonder will he quit again over it! Not sure about the woodley thing - JK seems to think its possible (mma hour)

McGregor will likely defend the lightweight belt first. There's literally zero chance of him fighting Woodley. Firstly he would be demolished at welterweight. Secondly, the hassle he has caused for the ufc already with chasing and holding two belts has been enough of a headache already
No possibility they allow him to chase a third belt

Maybe Diaz will do the same. Easily dispatched mcgregor and he has two belts.

you cant win a 145 pound belt in a 170 pound fight or did I miss something?

Well he has been already if you look at his instagram, Diaz had the more decisive win over him with the submission but when the 2 men had full camps McGregor beat him.

Yep. Im sure both men would like a rematch same as mcgregor got when he was decisively beaten.

Max wins a belt McGregor is going to destroy them on social media, 2 guys holding belts who he's already beaten easily.

He got that with Barboza and was chewed up. RDA was able to do it aswell. Barboza obviously is a fantastic striker but Holloway's stand up is up there too.
He hasn't fought a lot of strikers and I think his stand up is over rated because of him out striking very good guys but guys who weren't bringing a high level of stand up. Outside of Cerrone/Barboza his UFC run has a lot of all rounded type guys in it, but not guys he would of had to worry about on the feet.

Wonder if them trying to take McGregor's belt will get him to jump back in and fight Aldo in the new year.

I'd say that's probably the point of it, trying to pressure him into defending it. Still don't think he will though, even though I'd love to see him knock the bitter head off Aldo again.

Gamebred

I'd disagree (as a Holloway fan) Pettis is finally getting a styles match up here somebody who wont wanna try grapple him in pure striking Pettis is better than Holloway, I think its a 50/50 fight.

Fromvert

Holloway v Pettis looks great on paper but I can see it being a one way beating. Holloway being the man handing it out.

mdwexford

It would devalue both belts doing this. Handing Aldo the real belt after getting sparked would feel hollow even for him I'd imagine. Everyone knows he doesn't deserve to be handed that.

The interim is fairly rubbish as is, creating essentially a second interim while neither McGregor or Aldo are injured is nonsense.

Not like claiming Max v Pettis is an interim title fight is going to sell a bunch more ppvs anyway.

Having Rumble vs Gus or Bader for an interim LW makes much more sense.

sonofenoch

He's been the most active fighter for 2 years, why is there a problem with him taking 5/6 months off.......in that time Ferguson could take on Khabib and Aldo/Holloway........McGregor could then face the winners of both mid Summer and Novemberish.......that's defending both belts, Aldo has fought 3 times in 3 years and Khabib probably even less, give them fights..

or strip him of the lightweight belt and watch it go back prelims

Swashbuckler

Max V Pettis has all the potential to be a fantastic fight. The interim thing is a joke. It's a weird one tho. 206 is a solid card. I guess a non title headline ppv is unheard of these days. Wouldnt be surprised if Conor said he would fight Aldo at 206. Would be hilarious to see the response from the Aldo camp.

The reality is the Max V Pettis fight was a fight to determine who would fight Aldo for the interim title. DC getting injured has fecked that up. So Pettis may get a shot at the interim purely because DC got injured.

Bit of a joke having a fighter who is 1-3 in his last fights but I guess that's what the division has come too

Nothing against Pettis but I hope Max schools him he deserves his shot.
