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.

It's the 170 belt. McGregor loves a bit of foreshadowing.

Why is there 4 belts there? hes won 2 at 45 and the 55 strap, did I miss a title fight or something.

I don't think Conor has the cardio or conditioning to be swinging at air for 12 rounds.

As for the fight result itself , if it goes ahead.
It will finish when floyd decides he wants it over.

I've never really understood why people are bothered by this. It's the same mentality people used against the soccer fans in France and Poland 2016 and 2012.

Most people know Floyd is going to win just like most people knew Ireland wouldn't win the Euros but may as well enjoy it and hope for the best. Only live once.

The contest will likely be Conor swinging at air for 12 or less rounds but I'd love to see him land a couple of body shots, as that's the biggest target he can aim for. He has a tidy left hook to the body.

For Conor to exceed all expectations, he would need to win 1 round and lose something like 119-107. I'm not saying it's likely but winning 1 round would be a pretty big achievement.

BREAKING NEWS : The beard has been shaved off

Conor stands to make **** loads of money compared to mma, he needs it more than Floyd of course hes gonna sign a contract making him about 50m I wouldnt say he even read the terms if there is an actual contract signed which I have doubts about, the difficult part is Mayweather.

Such a great film and really close to what's going on here. People tired of seeing black champ beating people so bring in a white amateur who beat the champ as an amateur, give him the nickname of Irish, dodgy dealings in the background and even Jeff Goldblum is very Ariel Helwani-esque.

Yupp, if it took that long for Conor to sign, I can only imagine the demands May will have.

Well looks like McGregor has agreed to his side of the deal. Wonder what cut he's getting.

A large part of me still thinks this is just playing the media game and keeping his name out there while on a haitus. But then again it'll probably be second only to MayPac in PPV numbers with the hype and promo.

The fight itself will be ****, so **** paying for that. But the promotion will be free and should be gold.

Also should set the tone for 5am McGregor PPVs this side of the atlantic for when/if he goes back to MMA.

His BT Sport viewer numbers (around 250k, comparable to Crolla on sky at 9pm on a saturday) at that time are already decent enough, so with that much of a captive audience I'd be surprised if it wasn't considered already tbf.

Mcgregor is double champ and jones instead of cormier

Doesnt seem to list women.

Ill put a quick rundown:

Bas rutten is lineal heavyweight as he never lost it. He went inactive.

Frank shamrock at light heavy - inactive

Both retired as champs

The rest is litttered with inactivity / leaving divison

DC never beat Jones. Hence he's not lineal champ.

At certain times, the incumbant champ will retire or vacate a division. That can't be helped. If McGregor never goes back to 145, his lineal reign will end.

FWIW, Aldo v Frankie was before McGregor was stripped. So if Conor never returns to 145, the next lineal champ will be the winner at UFC212

Apologies he did indeed. Was having a quick look through

Theres a lot of weight class movements and retirements in the classes aswell to help murky the waters

Lineal champs is a seperate thing imo.

I would like to see a lineal line of ufc belts but would strikforce wec belts be inccluded in that?

Lineal titles are completely separate

They aren't bound by promotions. And they go back to the first time two top contenders contested a weight. Mostly they started in Japan and at times ended up in WEC or Strikeforce (Fedor was lineal champ forever). But eventually they all gravitated towards the UFC belts.

Aldo needs to fuk off for good if he ducks out of this fight with Holloway (for whatever reason)

Whether he walks out with two belts or not has no bearing on the achievement for me.
If he really wants it, well then he physically owns two belts.

The belt Aldo won at UFC 200 is the title no, he wasn't given a new belt when Conor was stripped.
I agree about Max v Aldo being the first fight that has really meant anything.

It was Dustin Poirier I think.
The Shooto lineal belt end up with him. But there is some confusion over the weight limits of a patch in the middle.

thats right it was poirier, i was thinkin that holloway was very new at the time to be the shooto champ
no confusion now
so if aldo turns up at 212 i'm happy enough but if he dosen't i'll be interested in what happens
by rights they should strip him an make max champ but that's a bit silly really

for the casual mma watchers i think it would mean something and there are load of Conor fan that are just Conor fans

personally i hope Max beats Aldo and would love if Conor Came back to 45 to fight him if it happened
they could do trinity set up with mcgreggor v max at 45 and then at 55 and then for both belts at 55 (i suppose they could do it with aldo well)
i think Conor won't wanna fight Diaz again cos his concrete brain is the pefect weapon aginst Conor's left hand and i think that superfights are an inevitability these days

finglashoop

Like jones mcgregor should carry both belts around and act as champ of both divisions.

Jones i suppose is a bit more straight forward (fight wise) hasnt lost it and beat the man holding it.

Mcgregor leaving the division and fighting at two different weights with what looks like no intention of returning means he has no claim to a belt he never looks like defending.

Lineal champs is a seperate thing imo.

I understand who the UFC champion is and if he's not going to fight at 145 again then he should have resigned the belt. My point is that he missed getting his day out as double belt holder and that it hit home when I was watching the stare downs

Aldo defeated frankie for the interim belt I thought ? Then Aldo got the belt by default ...

Many methods had Holloway as the lineal champion iirc and others had Aldo
Conor is the lineal fw champion as he defeated them both

Aldo right now is not actually the undisputed champion with Max having a (bull**** v pettis) title, I class that fight between max as the fight for the Vacant belt neither of their interims mean anything.

Yeah that's more sensible
