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.

Very much so, though the Diaz 2 fight had that something special about it too

I watched the mendes fight again the other day and the atmosphere in that place I'd say was unreal.
I don't think we will see anything like that again.
That was McGregor mania at its highest.

This is a brilliant and complete breakdown of the Alvarez fight and one of the best I've ever seen.

Conor was playing 4D chess against Eddie's checkers. This video is superb, informative and will give people a new appreciation of how masterful a performance it really was. I must have watched the fight 30+ times and this breakdown points out things I completely missed (such as the right hook Conor threw in between the double left that dropped Eddie the first time).

Nice breakdown alright. A good level of detail. I enjoy listening to guys who spend the time to watch and re-watch these performances so closely. His voice though, it's tough to listen too, so monotone. Otherwise it's very good.

hewhoscares

It seems Dillon Danis McGregor lite attitude has got him suspended from the best BJJ gym in the world.

You've got to wonder what Conor thinks of these imitators.
In the recent MacLife video before the Conlon fight, he's walking into the fight and the sycophants around him are chanting and he seemingly has a half second of "what the **** are these lads doing" and realisation at the absurdity of it all and then snaps back into Conor McGregor TM mode.

Will we get to see that class again or did we see the peak:(

He will be back

Also the first shot he dropped eddie with had him out cold his eyes were in the back of his head it was a slip left again, well the first left grazed second dropped him. Eddie hit the deck and it looked like that woke him back up. Really was a masterclass. When he stuffed his second takedown eddies face is a face of someone who knows there ****ed.

Nasty looking cut on his left hand too. Right on the knuckle. Hmmmm!

Possibly swollen too. Trying to compare the his right fist and there seems less definition around the knuckles.

Coming home with a nice few quid all the same, looks like death mind.

That only shows us what he won. Could've lost twice as much

Gamebred

I do be lucky to come home with a few sterling coppers after a piss up in the U.K fair play to him.

To be honest i hope his Floyd fight doesn't amount to much and he is beaten in a fairly boring fight and gets back to MMA asap.

I'm convinced even if he somehow beats Floyd, he's single-minded in his focus to be remembered for dominating his passion - Mixed Martial Arts. I think Conor has a different way of viewing what domination and P4P-GOAT-status looks like.

A lot of posters on here believe winning a belt and defending it against all-comers is the path to greatness. That's a reasonable argument and it was the Anderson Silva and Mighty Mouse path.

However, detractors would say that Mighty Mouse came up short at 135lbs against Pickett and Cruz. Anderson never really fought anyone at their peak at 205lbs and went 2-1 against a fading Griffin, a fading Bonnar and DC on short-notice. P4P is a subjective concept but at its core is the notion of transferring skills up/down weight, so in a literal sense winning championship fights in 3 or even 4 weight classes cements a fighters P4P legacy.

I'm fairly certain from everything I've seen and read on his journey, that winning the Welterweight Title is more important to Conor than defending the LW title. In the immediate aftermath of UFC 205, he seemed much more interested in Woodley than he was in Khabib/Tony, and only stupid people would view that as "ducking Khabib". You don't duck a 155lb monster to fight a 170lb monster.

To win UFC gold in 3 weight classes would be an achievement that will be borderline impossible to repeat. I can even see a scenario, if he sticks around long enough, where he embraces the weight bench and tries an audacious crack at the Middleweight strap. People will say it's outlandish to think he could compete with bona fide Welterweights and Middleweights, let alone beat them, (and I agree) but I feel that's what Conor himself thinks is a bigger achievement than merely defending his belt a few times.

TL;DR - I feel he has 1 more UFC contract in him. Possibly a 4-fight deal and it'll make or break his legacy. He'll already be remembered as a shining star who changed the game - but to be remembered as the GOAT he needs 4 more fights and to go 3-1 against elite competition.

LastLagoon

It's gonna make a good movie.hard to judge unless you've been in that situation , relentless siege from gold digging whores,you'd need to be a saint. Imagine he has to scroll through pages of flange every time he opens his DMs /Facebook messages.
Doesn't matter if you keep your original crew close either,fame and money change everything,people will say anything to keep the gravy train going.

Selfishly i hope Dana takes the biggest slice of the money as that will mean conor will still want to return to the UFC for a few more paydays. McGregor getting rich is of absolutely no concern to me. Conor McGregor back fighting in the UFC is what i am interested in.

He will be back. Childcare is expensive hai!

At the top end of sport most athletes live extremely clean life's I would imagine if he fights Floyd and it goes a couple of rounds he will be blowing out his arse or do people think it doesn't mater as long as he has a good fight camp ?

The last time he went off the rails in this type of way was during the ACL recovery 2013-2014. He returned from that and ran through his next 3 opponents. The difference this time is that his likeliest next opponents surely have to come from a list of Floyd Mayweather, Tyron Woodley, Ferguson/Khabib, Cody & GSP (if he gets thru Bisping). GSP bangs on about his willingness to make 155lbs in every interview lately and he's not saying that so he can fight Lando Vannata....

It's one thing going through Brandao, Poirier and Siver like a train and quite another trying to do that to the best of the best.

Also, it looks to me like he has pretty much given up trying to push the Mac Life Fast system for the moment. He doesn't promote it anymore on social media and it's hard to flog a $300 cardio-system while you're on the lash every other night. In other news, being reported he bet 40,000 on the National - 20 grand each-way on Blaklion. It held on for a place so he cleared 20 grand profit. I've always wondered is he still punting big, I remember him posting screenshots of 1,000 euro accumulators when he wasn't rich at all and saying he used to lose his bollix to Paddy Power.

He actually looks leaner than he has been for a while, almost like he was before FW fights.

I know from personal experience that you can lose a fair chunk of weight going on 3 day benders, maybe the Floyd fight is going to be at 147 and this is his way of trimming down :P

Its mad that hes still in a hotel haha

USADA not allowed test for recreational drugs out of competition, they released a fail for Jones previously however they shouldn't have done that.
