That further confirms my suspicion.

I'd absolutely hate to be badgered by paps and reporters all the time.

Constantly getting the same question machinegunned at you? I'd snap.

What belts? He just has one

another minute wasted

Looks like he's signed a big deal with Nike judging by his Instagram posts. Fair play to him if so, joining some real sporting greats to have worn their apparel. Let's hope he's more LeBron James than Tiger Woods.

Don't you know about the Nike curse?

Remember when we were called deluded for thinking Conor could beat Robbie Lawler for the 170 belt.

The Robbie fighting last night was a shadow of his former champion self. Not a chance he would beat the Lawler that fought MacDonald.

To be fair, peoplevwere saying he'd beat the Lawler that fought Condit - who's somewhere between the two (McDonald & RDA)

That fight took a lot out of him. Another close war with Condit, Woodley smoked him. Cowboy beat him (IMO) and RDA absolutely dominated him all night. McGregor would have battered him

Lawler to me looks like a fighter who's heart isn't in it anymore. When he's at his best his fights are wars, I don't think he wants anymore of that.

Jesus lads, as much as Lawler is on the slide, he would drag Conor into deep waters and drown him.

I'm not so sure. His cardio was suspect last night even though he was throwing much less. He was incredibly slow too.

Fintan is such a dickhead.

Summary of his article (italics are my additions):

Crumlin had a bad name in the 60's and 70s, if you said you lived in Crumlin "you probably wouldn't get called for a job interview".
Then it changed the reality hit that Crumlin was "full of ordinary families who worked hard and led decent lives".
Now "a single clown has changed the perception back"
(Or in other words, Fintan knows that Crumlin people are still decent people, but everybody else in the world is thick and so they all think all Crumlin lads are scumbags because of McGregor!)

McGregor "showed contempt for the law" by "dramatically pulling into the car park in a BMW i8 and ostentatiously leaving the car doors open".
(Note: when going to court, always close the car door!)

"Last week we had Instagram images of McGregor throwing £20 notes at lapdancers while his pals, Crumlin criminals, made lewd gestures. This is a disgusting kind of life"
Anyone who's been to a strip club or lap dancing club - you know who you are - you are disgusting!! - But you probably knew that already (I did anyway )

"McGregor brands himself as just another kid from Crumlin so makes it both desirable and apparently attainable" to try and be like him.
"The Crumlin kids who look up to him can live it only if they carve their way to the top of the drug dealing business".
"For the vast majority it will lead to addicition, squalor, chaos and misery. They are infinitely more likely to die tryin' than to get rich".

There is plenty of real stuff to give out about McGregor, but by writing the above, Fintan proves that it is he himself who is a real scumbag. Blaming McGregor for turning people into drug dealers and drug addicts, FFS! And saying that's the only way a Crumlin person can become rich!! Impossible for a Crumlin person to become an entreprenuer, engineer, lawyer, etc. What a tool.

Phil Lynnot was a JUNKIE

I doubt it,he could easily have just quit last night with his leg busted up.

Was it not a problem with his leg that wasnt being kicked? His left leg

Being a quitter is a separate issue. I don’t think he’d ever quit on the stool. He still looks way more tentative in his fights since his comeback, doesn’t have the same fire

More suspect than 1.5 rounds? I love to watch McGregor fighting as much as anyone, but I don't see how he takes Robbie out.

Story of his career isn't it........when the history books are wrote 'theres always someone who would beat him' ................it's the same after everyone one of his fking fights

"well that was great but he has no chance against z y and z"

Nate took a bit of the shine off. "You beat all midgets," Diaz said. "I fought every f—ing week, forever, motherf—–. I've been in the UFC forever, fighting everybody. "You fight midgets".

And Nate beat him but if he was a chicken he would have moved on. He didn't though, he got back in the ring with Nate. Nate is bigger than him too and he never backed down.

Robbie has an awful defense and McGregor has power. It's an awful matchup for Robbie.

He was fighting in his weight class class. Nate is heavier.
It would be like Woodley slagging Nate for fighting Midgets at Lightweight. Or TJ slagging MM's title run. It's not a valid criticism in terms what actually happened.
Nate was was having a pop specifically in relation to their fight. He shouldn't be taken seriously.

dave1982

Conor was down at 145 and tbh his proper weight class is 155 but he only ever accepted one fight there. Won the belt and took his ball and went home. Conor owes alot 2 titles defences and nate rematch. Conor seems to have attitude once he gets what he wants he loses interest. Nate could have refused a rematch so conor owes him one.

I think Robbie's resilience trumps Conor's impressive, but time limited power. Conor would have to fight a very measured fight, like he did with Nate 2. I don't think Robbie would give him the breathing room that Nate did though.
