Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match
The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 4.

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 surprised that people are acting surprised and shocked at McGregor using a vile slur like that.

It's completely his form. He's always been an uneducated thug. Nothing new in this latest incident.

Can't believe I'm on Shaubs side. Joes talking absolute bollox here

ricero

Schaub is such a Mcgregor fanboy its laughable.

Same can be said for Joe who is always on team Diaz

Frank Bullitt

Joe Rogans on his next fight.

Not sure I would agree on his opinion on the second Diaz fight at all.

He's human like the rest of us. If he wants to go on the lash then go on the lash. He pops up maybe once every few months pissed. Hardly on it all the time.

The difference between him and us is what takes us 9 months just to get in shape he can do in 3.

He stays in pretty decent shape. In the gym all the time. If it gets bad it's not like he has to go to work 9 to 5 and then do an hour in the gym at night.

He has all day everyday, All the money in the world to pay people to feed him the right food, All the best trainers and equipment at his beck and call.

I agree with both posts above. His behaviour lately is similar to the way Hatton used to behave outside of camp. Hatton got away with it for years when he was young and fighting mid-level boxers. As he got older and got the super fights he was found out quite quickly.

If Conor doesn't cop on (re his lifestyle) I feel he'll get found out soon enough too.

On another note, I'd love to know how many people have subscribed to Conor's F.A.S.T programme?

I see there's no mention of the FAST programme on his Insta now, now it's the MacTalk App.

I think McGregor fools himself into thinking he isn't doing any damage when he's on the rantan, as typically he stays in quite excellent shape visibly. Atleast when Hatton was out of camp he'd balloon up 2 or 3 stone atleast, I wonder does Conor tell himself he's doing no harm as he is still shredded.

This. I suspect his recreational activities will have very real ramifications on his fitness, unfortunately. At elite level, you're dealing in advantages of inches. The question mark is already there in respect of endurance. It might not even be a leap to suggest such activities are already the cause of the sudden drop offs in the quality of his output. Time will tell...

I dont understand the outrage about Conor saying the word? He comes from a poor area of Dublin where growing up that word would have been thrown around a lot, its in his vocabulary since he was young probably and it just comes out. He is quite obviously not a homophobe considering he asked his fans to vote yes for equality.

What I am saying is words are offensive depending on the context that they are used and in this situation Conor was not being offensive towards the gay community...... so people need to stop being so sensitive. I know the snowflakes will have their pitch forks out for him because in 2017 people love to be offended.

While I would not be a fan of using that word in the slightest I agree that Conor is a working class guy who beats people up for a living and he's backstage talking to his friend and probably unaware that he's being filmed. Language is often going to be rough and ready in this world. He's not a politician. What he should be aware of now though is that he is public property and someone will always have a camera on him if at all possible so he has to moderate his behaviour.

Oh you can be 100% sure he was aware of the camera ,he was talking into it all night,
he's done amazing for himself and is set for life but with just tiny chance he'd come across really well again, he seems to have gone down the road of having so much cash now he doesn't; give a rats how he comes across,
Which is his own biz , he's done unreal for himself and it can never be taking away from him ,

Crass person uses a crass word that would have been used quite a lot throughout his life and the discussion about it has to go on for 3 days?

Conor might have surrounded himself with clever people when it comes to making money and business dealings but his IQ wouldn't be through the roof and if he wasn't a UFC Champ then his erratic behavior would have left him friendless years ago. Expecting him to behave differently is like hoping your Labrador won't stare at you and drool on the floor while you're eating your dinner.

MojoRisinnnn

If you're in anyway trying to justify Conor saying that word by citing various examples of similar words said in a different context or scenario, then go over to the nearest mirror and have a long hard stare at yourself. It was a stupid thing to say and he has really let himself down, it's a disgusting word, no way two ways about it. You can still admire him professionally without jumping to his defense on this, both don't go hand in hand.

Do any of the lads in here compete at a high level of combat sport , would the amount of time you see Conor drunk in the last year to 18 months not seriously effect his ability to be a top athlete ?
Seems every second week he's videod locked and looking like its more than the drink ,
I know he's made his millions so he probably doesn't give a rats and each to there own,
but surely it must effect his long term fitness at that level ?

Jesus Christ lads, it’s not hard. Don’t use that word. There’s about 10 it so words in the world that are generally considered pretty horrible. Stay away from those and you’ll be grand.

I just don't think you are seeing the connection. It's drawing on the comparison that gay men are soft and weak, as you put it.

So, the same as calling someone a pussy, a bitch or a cúnt is sexist for exactly the same reason? Or calling someone a knacker is saying something about travellers for exactly the same reason?

Personally, I think McGregor was just calling him a bundle of sticks.

I'm not 'outraged'. My thoughts on the matter are just that Conor continually lets himself down. He's a very unlikeable person today compared to the Conor we saw from say 2013. I remember him being witty, charismatic, thoughtful etc. Even when he was trash talking, there was a certain cheeky wit and good nature in it. He gave some great interviews in those early days of his fame.

Nowadays he just comes across as a coked up yobbo. Some of his press conferences in recent years have had a very sinister undertone.

I agree with you here.

I know, that why I said, if all the trainers from Dublin moved over,

Which coaches exactly do you think would draw in top fighters, if they were in America?
John's obviously a good jiu jitsu coach. But I don't think he's a standout in terms of what's availible in America right now. SBG striking has always been lacklustre, aside from Conor.

I think Conor would be a draw in he moved to the states, regardless of coaches moving or not.

I think the whole package would be the draw , JK,Conor , Roddy, I know there not the best coaches but with all the hype the last while they'd defo get some big names joining ,

Again, people can say it was a stupid thing without being 'outraged'. Throwing around words like outraged & snowflakes are not helpful. To be fair to you there were a few people calling Conor a bigot and a knacker but I think they're on the wind-up and just looking for a stick to beat him with rather than anything else.

It's just a word that should not be used anymore regardless of context, upbringing or level of inebriation.

I'm not trying to wind anyone up..I seriously think he's just showing himself up for what he is..I can't see the appeal, and can't really understand people's infatuation..

I did notice him back stage and a women telling him he didn't have access to a certain Area and he turns around to here and Charlie Ward and say's " who's going to stop me I own this Company" and walked straight through , was quite funny but shows he knows he can do what he likes,

He can't do what he likes, Goddard told him to sit down.

Lets say you are out in a restaurant with your friends and one of them doesn't tip. Your other friend says "You're a scabby jew!".

Your defence is akin to saying "Well he's not implying he's an actual Jew! Oh gosh no! I'm just saying he is tight with money like Jewish people are known to be."

Can you see the problem with this?

You are saying that the insult f****t to you simply means soft, weak, cowardly and therefore in this context shouldn't be offensive.

Have you asked yourself why it has that meaning? These qualities were typically ascribed to homosexual men. That's where the insult originates. Everytime you use it as an insult you are referencing this stereotype. There's no getting away from it.

I'm not 'outraged'. My thoughts on the matter are just that Conor continually lets himself down. He's a very unlikeable person today compared to the Conor we saw from say 2013.

Put it this way is SBG and all its trainers up sticks and moved to California and opened the gym from there you'd have a whole host of top fighters looking to train there,
