Official Conor McGregor thread (part 5)

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit where boards explodes so here's part 5.

Usual rules apply. Read the forum charter if you havent, no fighter bashing or allegations of PED's etc.

Keep it civil at all times!

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.

Fighter bashing is against the charter - no name calling and derogatory terms..

I still reckon he's trying to position himself for the EU envoy to Russia post..

UFC 229 press conference featured the best interpretation of The Joker in any medium since Heath Ledger.

That suit for starters.

Then, the pure chaos - highly personal stuff that even reached deep levels of drawing Putin/Russia/Czechia/Dagestan into it. He's not just promoting a fight, he's potentially setting the internet/world on fire with some of the subjects he touched upon and the language used. Plus, with the whole offering Khabib a drink and he refusing thing, Conor called Muslims "backwards gobshítes" at one stage in a tirade against Khabib. FFS Conor, less shít than that has lead to offices of innocent people gunned down. Never mind being a responsible role model for the rest of the world or any of that though, that shít could get himself hurt outside of UFC.

I know they're selling PPVs and also Conor is trying to get Khabib worked up, but I'd worry that these are dangerous topics to be getting into in today's social media-driven world, just to promote a PPV.

Thought these exchanges were funny though...

That nearly got as much reaction out of me as "Who the fúck is this guy?" :pac:

And Khabib with his his own 'classic'...

I'm looking forward to this fight. I like Conor the fighter, but at the same time after a testy 2 years from him with some ridiculous public behaviour since the Alvarez fight, I can't help but feel if he gets his ass handed to him, it'll be overdue and deserved. And also, I wouldn't be feeling a shred of the disappointment that I felt when he lost to Diaz.

Unfortunately, those days are long gone.

What a load of bollox. Show me where he said Muslims are backward gob****es? He said "I bet YOU'RE some craic at party's YOU backwards gob****e".

Khabib: You talk about my heritage, what about you? Why can you not speak your own native language?

After me, his next fight will be boxing.

ESPN now saying Dana apparently misspoke and it's actually a six fight deal.

It's fairly inconsequential how many fights are in the deal.
They can't force him to serve a contract. He retires when he wants to.
The deal just prevents him leveraging a Belator offer or fighting on a McGregor promotions PPV - both of which are unlikely anyway.

I turned it off after 5 minutes. As bad as I found it, it would have been worse with a crowd there whooping and cheering every single thing Conor said or did. He was so hyped up that this is how he'll have to get to sleep when going to bed tonight

Mellor

Wasn't a fan of that as a whole. Without fans there is was a disaster. I much prefer the comically old Conor, than the hyped up aggressive Conor. But appreciate that it's a lot easier to just dial up the aggression rather than coming up with witty replies. At the end of the time, his focus should be on the fight, not a comedy routine.

I am glad he called out Ali, can't stand that scumbag.

Mostly the presser descended into shouting and noise. Lots of cringe.
An equal about of cringe in here too. Both sides. Can't bate a bit of armchair pop psychology either. :pac:

He could have left his whiskey on his chin.

In fairness McGregor is his usual calm, calculated and confident self when speaking in the lower voice. Unforch he's cycling between that and jumped up toddler.

Had not heard of the issue with McGregor's plane before the interview with Dana after.

Anyone hear of it being true? And who the two apparent people that were sent home were?

hatrickpatrick

IMO that was as funny as it realistically could have been given the absence of a fan-crowd. People underestimate how much something like that affects the atmosphere. I don't think it was any more cringey than any other presser, just that it seemed more cringey because of the silence apart from the two of them. Like watching the shower scene from Psycho without the music

Roll on October 6th! I presume there'll at least be a fan crowd at the weigh ins?

Ultimate Seduction

The way McGregor kept saying "****e in the bus" surley got that from big Joe's Davy Joyce calling out Simey "****e in the bucket".

Not a huge fan of Conor's promotional persona, but he also has to shoulder the majority of the burden for promoting the fight. In that sense, I feel he does a professional job. I don't like it myself, but he dedication to the business side of things is unmatched. Khabib was there on a armchair ride by comparison.

I see a lot of tweets online that some of Mcgregors comments and behaviour were borderline islamophobia.

Comes from Mcgregor offering Khabib alcohol when he's a Muslim, calling him 'a mad backwards ****' for denying his whiskey, mocking the muslim greeting 'assalamu alaikum' and calling Ali who's a Muslim a 'terrorist' although there seems to be some back story to this that I'm not aware of.

Don't see why so many people expect Conor to show Khabibs beliefs and religion any ounce of respect. Mcgregors a showman. He'll say and do whatever to spark a reaction and I f**kin love it.

Outlaw Pete

Better angle of him leaving.

Turning down a drink is rude in Irish Culture. Especially a home brew drink that Conor McGregor spent 3 years toiling over for this moment. Khabib Nurmagomedov is a Paddyophobic.

Interesting hearing the people who 'don't like him anymore' or think he's cringey, a poor representative and beneath them. Same people watched most if not all of the mayweather stuff, will watch and comment on any other promotional material and finally watch the fight itself on the edge of their seat. Glued to it, yet somehow above the people who can just admit its entertaining.

He can't talk on the mic while he's fighting so it's all good.

Roughly translated from Dana bullsh1t - Jon Jones will be the main event :P

Hopefully, it means he plans on fighting for a while and not just another couple of fights.
