Conor on any card is looking hilarious at the moment...

Is there any chance that McGregor is actually carrying an injury and just not disclosing it. Any images from insta that I've seen lately is of him rolling. Perhaps something is holding him back in doing any striking.
We know that he's hidden injuries in the past.

just noticed on the ufc website that there is no headline fight for the london event on paddys day.

dana is hardly hoping for conor to fight that night before the tony/khabib fight but dont know who he would fight unless a 3rd diaz fight.

Bisping guaranteed headline I think

But Conor had that belt a lot longer than 3 months... And he was practically handed a shot at the LW title..he certainly did not earn it nor deserve it...he beat nobody at LW and was mauled by Disc Diaz's once and scraped the second fight at 170..hardly an earned shot...more marketing by the UFC

Come to think of it Conor has had 4 belts and never defended once...very smart brand protection and a great marketing ploy to gain the title of champion yet never have to engage in the actual actions of a champion

But let's be realistic about it...for actual MMA fans (not Conor fanboys) it practically nullifies his title of champion.

It's one thing not to defend based on injury...it's a total other to just avoid and ignore champion duties

My dislike for Conor McGregor has continued to increase from the day he beat Jose Aldo... because he's had a sense of entitlement ever since that is somewhat unwarranted... respect Conor and how he's helped the sport... but he's doing more bad than good lately imo

As Tony often said.... defend or vacate... and it's a bad state of affairs when the UFC have to step in twice to strip somebody due to inactivity

aint that the truth. he said many a time that he would be an active champion not like everyone else on the roster but we all seen how truthful that was:rolleyes:

strip conor make tony the undisputed champ let khabib fight for the title no grey area

Eddie was conclusively beaten over two rounds, no need for rematch.
Aldo fight was obviously abrupt, and maybe there's a case that he deserved a full length fight. But there's no way he should have been fighting 3 mo the later after that KO.

Also seems a bit of for guys to be talking about Tony's rematch at the point. At least let him lose first

Seems logical...certainly more so than Khabib going for 2 belts just to stick 2 fingers up at the Dirty Dub....

and I'm being cringy ....keep patting each other on the back with your 'thanks'

Ok leaving McGregor out of the equation ...he beats Ferguson then goes swanning off to 145 .....that's 3 months preparation minimum plus fight date, where's Tony's rematch? he's left hanging ......you're looking at 9 months before another 155 fight in that case .......plus there's no way in hell Khabib fights more than twice in a year......which belt does he defend first while holding the other up?

Genuinely have zero interest in it. Might go for a **** or something instead. A forty year old middleweight pumped full of everything against a 40 year old fat light heavyweight in a heavyweight fight, to maybe get a crack at the ghost of the GOAT? Not for me.

It's only three rounds so should be well done before DC makes his run.

Still Ill

Completely agree that anyone that thinks McGregor is scared is out of their mind. We've already seen his levels of delusion with the Mayweather fight. Why would he be afraid of any fighter in a sport he's actually world class in? I just wonder if he'll regret wasting his peak years ****ing about, talking about how rich he is when he could be cementing his legacy. You just can't get those years back.

All this talk about mma growing in ireland etc , that will all stop

I genuinely think he is afraid

Or as he said about aldo " he has a kid and that changes everything in ur head "

This notion that he's afraid is complete an utter bollox tbh.

First of all, why does Tony deserve a rematch?
Second of all, why do you assume Khabib needs a 3 month fight camp?

I think he could with his new dietician. We’ll see what happens anyway, but I’d love the new champ to fcuk McGregor around in much the same way McGregor has done to others.

I think 45 would be madness for Khabib, not impossible, but conceivably dangerous. He's yet to hit 55 on the button in some time - even at 205 he was 156. 170 is obviously feasible and he'd no doubt be competitive. I think if he gets his hands on the LW he goes for the WW title. Imagine that.

Though we all know McGregor fancies his chances against Dos Anjos and wouldn't mind a crack at him at 170, but I don't see Dos Anjos beating Woodley.

Interesting few months ahead. And if you want to believe Dana - Jones, A Diaz, Brock all fighting in 2018 :rolleyes:

won't he be holding up the 155 in that case? that's ok is it because he's not called McGregor

after watching the press conference i get the feeling Dana is trying to force conors hand by been very public that he will strip him of the belt. i think dana is terrified if conor is stripped he wont come back and the ufc loses there cash cow.

while i am a big fan of conor i think its very disrespectful to not only tony and khabib but too everyone in the division that he has held the belt up for this length of time.

honestly i think Dana should strip him and make him humble and let him work back up to a title shot and not give him the option of the winner of tony/khabib without fighting his way back up

If they strip him there is now way he'll ever have to work his way back to a title shot ever again. He's just too big a star now. He'll probably fight a tune-up fight and get an immediate title shot. They could of course strip him and make him "humble" as you say but right now they probably need Conor more than he needs them. If they didn't they would have stripped him 6 months ago.

Conor is probably not going to fight a lot of fights going forward so the UFC will want to get maximum bang for their buck from any fight he does have. They won't put him in there with a succession of contenders. It will just be big fights from now on.
