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

The photographer that he has following him around getting him a glass was embarrassing. Poor lad is nothing more than a lacky, he says he's an Artist but in reality he just follows him around taking photos and carrying **** for him.

John Kavanagh is another who needs to look at himself, no more respect the opponent speal he loves to come out with. he's on the gravy train now, he wont criticise Mcg for his carry on.

So his foot injury did happen??

Didn't he just say "Can I go to the toilet on the bus?"

Did he get the translation wrong or just that he could have come up with something better?

yeah he tried to say khabib went toilet on the bus but mangled it,

He went to a gael scoil and can only say the one sentence everyone can say is shocking as he started by shouting that he can speak irish

I have to say I dislike Khabib he is a proper 2 face like Jon Jones
He had a go at a reporter for saying hello in Muslim and then wishing Conor well on the whiskey ,Saying you can't say that if you wish whiskey well , Same time he's making a fool of homeless people and hanging around with killers in Dagtastan for cash, he's no innocent devote practising Muslim ,

I know what he meant to say and IMO it was in perfect Irish but people calling him out for going to an Irish speaking school and saying he would have been better not attempting any Irish?

My own Irish isn't the best so I thought it was grand

He has been addressed in Irish before and admitted he was a bit rusty but he went to a Gaelscoil. I think he said somethin else like "nil aon problem le mo English" too , so not perfect translations (Bearla? my own Irish is fairly ****e tbh). It was grand though, not many people will be able to analyse his irish anyway so he got away with it.

He couldve reacted by saying something like the Irish took the English language and improved it, made it our own and that "irish" way of speaking is unique. And flipped Khabibs insult on its head that way.

Khabib was ready for the language thing you could tell. McGregor had brought up language use with Dos Anjos previously, saying he was a wannabe Yank speaking English over Portuguese. And people criticized McGregor at this point since he's an Irish person speaking English. Khabib was ready for that one.

Very surprised he didnt try make himself out to be the good bloke who's done work with homeless people, while Khabib and his lot have been apparently caught making fun of a homeless fella.

Fans complain about pull outs which is understandable, but id prefer a guy to pull out if there below 85 % fit,
We want to see guys fight when both are as fit as possible, Obviously with the sport it is its very hard to be 100%

I did notice that yes, it really worried me tbh. I was wondering was I over analysing it because I didn't see anyone else comment on it on twitter.

Ye I thought the same, but he defo looked like he was speaking about his own foot the way he gestured down towards it,

Honestly lads the passion with which some people on here hate McGregor is actually a bit unsettling to read. Hundreds and hundreds of posts dedicated to someone you don't like, analysing every little thing about him. Life's too short. Cut him from your life. Be happy. Go pet a dog.

It's possible to like him as a fighter and enjoy watching his fights and also think he makes a fool of himself when speaking ,
I love watching the guy fight, but his rants are cringe worthy ,
Its ok to have discussion about it , that's kinda the point of the whole thread

He's appealing to Irish people by using the one piece of Irish everybody knows.
The bus part clearly referring to Khabib ****ting himself on the bus as he was scared.

I just cant see this doing well in PPVs . Well compared to normal fighters but not over 2 million like people are projecting.

Cant see us getting the real numbers

Press conference drew over 750K viewers across Facebook, YouTube and Twitter -- and that's only from the official UFC stream.

If you have a properly amazing product, the way he goes on about his (Bushmills) whiskey, you don't sell it in the exclusively in the local supermarket. Same reason Prada aren't in partnership with Penneys.

That's a really silly comparison.
All the big brand whiskeys are sold in supermarkets. Including their premiums ranges. The profit in consumer ranges is selling high volume.
I bought Redbreast in Tesco a few weeks ago.
Just because I can get a 500euro version from Middleton doesn't make the one in Tesco crap.

If he released a 21year old whiskey for €200 instead you'd be slating it for being out of reach of the average Joe. :pac:

To be fair the belts are his. He just isn't the current title holder. All former champs still have the belts they won.

Watching it last night i think Khabib will strugglw to get in on weight or some sort of crazy situation will happen

This was the key take-away for me from. Khabib looked quite big. Nate aside, we're used to seeing Conor be taller and longer than his opponents. Khabib looked marginally taller and thicker last night during the face-off. Making 155 might be an issue for him again.

I was thinking this, he has missed weight before, But he didn't look fat just very big built

pastorbarrett

I'd say Khabib is somewhere north of 175, assuming McGregor is walking around about 165 - looks leaner than the Diaz fights certainly.

Rory28

None of this is new. He always acts like a lunatic in the build up. It could be because he wants the other guy to think the same lunatic will turn up in the cage but every time he gets in the cage he is a picture of calm.

What I think his plan is, if it works or not, is for them to think they are fighting a lunatic but then a professional fighter turns up.

yourdeadwright

On the fighting side of things Khabib looked huge, Never realised he was that big .,

A presser which has turned everyone into mind readers , body language experts & couch psychologists
From a promotional perspective this was job done and them some, absolutely blowing up on social media
Good thread, would read again :P

He's 100% correct.

You do realise the whole reason they were having a press conference last night was to promote the fight?

And whether people liked his antics or not, whether his acting or not, it actually doesn't matter. Because here we are, all discussing him, Khabib and the fight.

Your correct but he used to be so much better at it, and people used to think he was smart and funny,
For instance remember " who the hell is this Guy " and other lines he used to drop when he was composed and delivered them well .That was promotion at it's best , they where brilliant and people tuned in to see him take people apart with quick Witt and funny stuff,
Now he just rants and looks he's off his head up there, he has lost the allure ,he really does lose his cool and goes off on one now, Most of the American audience (his audience) had no idea what he was saying last night when his Dublin accent went into full swing,
Stevie Wonder can see how he has changed , I thought it was funny he mentioned money changed Khabib when its has also changed him ,
