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.

The Cm Punk freakshow done 450k or something decent which is good in todays climate, hence why they are giving him another fight according to rumours, majority of people on here are purists and a lot cant put themselves in the mindset of casual sports fans who make up the ppv's, they want to see Conor too they dont care that hes not defending the belt they tune in for the spectacle same way they would tune in if GSP went up and fought an exhibition fight at middleweight,

202 was the fight in question, 203 was the freak show wrestler and 204 was Dan Henderson fighting for a title I mean come on join the dots here.

How much of 203 was down to CM PUNK and how much was down to the Heavyweight belt being on the line?

Ah come on that is a fallacy. People will watch Conor no matter what, I will watch Conor no matter who he fights but I would prefer to have seen him defend his belt rather than fighting Diaz twice.

Surely 2 (196+202) non 145 title fight for McGregor doing massive record breaking numbers gives all the signals the fans want to see these big fights, if them fights out of the divisions bombed the company wouldnt be enabling them any further ie let him fight at 155.

It's the smart move. If he posted an emotional reaction on Twitter it would undermine him a bit.

I think he's well aware the MMA-AA has just launched. If he made any contact with them I think he'd have the higher ups ****ting themselves.

The Massachusetts Maritime Academy Alumni Association??? They've been round for years sure!!

Why hasn't Conor commented yet?

I suppose I get it, stay silent and let social media and opinion do their work. Let the UFC sweat it out. Still though...

His silence is deafening.

Maybe that's what he wants?

a little salty? i still respect aldos skill in the cage bigtime but thats the understatement of the century

I was cheering for Aldo against Frankie, I don't really care if he is salty towards Conor or not, Aldo seems like a nice guy and he was just insulted by Conor. I'd reckon if Aldo had of lost the belt to anyone but Conor he wouldn't have been so salty.

On another note, I hope Holloway is the next future Featherweight champion, I would love to see him v Conor again.

A salt mine wouldn't be as salty as Aldo was after the fight (and still is)

Aldo was a little salty but surely you can understand that? Conor disrespected him for months all around the world and then knocked him out in 13 seconds :pac:

Aldo was always a great humble champion and had some amazing fights, I mean I am a Conor fan but I don't know the guy, I'm not going to hate Aldo just becasue he doesn't like Conor. If Conor fights Aldo I will be hoping Conor wins but I still have great time for Aldo as a fighter.

Alternatively can you imagine the 'hate' for McGregor if 6 of his 8 wins were by decision and his other getting ko'd in 13 secs.......would be far worse than what Aldo gets

My god is he insane, that is the most unprofessionally put together que card ever, I'm surprised he doesn't get more wrong, looks like my 2 year old niece edited it for him.

It's bizarre alright. I get enlarging the records, height and weight. But when you highlight everything, then nothing is highlighted.

As mentioned above by John_D80 these were Buffer mistakes.

The cards were printed correctly, but Buffer added the undisputed part.

I hope Aldo doesn't get another shot. He's handled his loss embarrassingly and a match up between Khabib or Tony would be more marketable, intriguing and a more difficult test for Conor.

I know this is a crazy idea but I would love to see Khabib v Aldo and winner fights Conor next for the lightweight title. That would be an absolute amazing match up and if marketed as the "next person to fight Conor" would sell ppvs with that title alone.

The title doesn't exist until Max or Pettis are crowned interim champ.
At which point Aldo is no longer undisputed.

Same way that Aldo was undisputed FW champ up until UFC189. When Conor became interim.

But theres an interim title fight so id argue it is disputed; its fairly ridiculous.

Then just call what would be the Interim title the 'Prince of the Division'

Gamebred

He undisputed for the next 11 days, I dont think Aldo plans on fighting any longer I think he'd be happy with 1 more win so and go out with the belt so he can tow the line he reclaimed his belt and left at the top his only ufc loss was an ''accident''.
