Official Conor McGregor thread (part 6)

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit where boards explodes so here's part 6.

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..

Updated 13/01/2019
Charter amended to make it very clear - lose the stupid names like McTapper etc. Shows someone to be nothing but an immature troll out to goad others..

I can't see McGregor making 145 easily. He'd need to a bit of muscle to do that.

True but Max has been toying with the idea of moving up. A great way to cement himself in 155 would be a win over Conor and vice versa for McGregor it would put him right back into the title mix even if I dont see a second Khabib fight going any different than the first.

There is a different rumor being bandied around at the moment that I am very keen on. The Holloway rematch. Max has improved drastically since the first fight. I would love to see this fight either at 155 or 145 if McGregor can make the cut. Win his belt back and end the streak.

Does anyone here think we'll see the remaining 5 fights Conor is contracted for? I'm guessing it will cost him if we dont

I think the effects of Ramadan are being overstated. It's awkward with training but you can eat and drink what you like between sunset and sunrise

It would realistically be even later. He'd have to recover significantly after Ramadan before getting into a camp.

Khabib's da said they have agreed to a $500,000 fine and 9 month suspension which if true means Khabib would be eligible to fight from 6th July next year so international fight week could be his first title defense

Ramadan ends on June the 4th so realistically to get a full 8 week fight camp in he probably won't be fighting until August if that is the case.

Edit: didn't see all the posts subsequent to the above basically saying the same thing

Thank you to the moderators for all your tremendous work not just today but through all your lives.

Mr. Mcgregor is an individual of tremendous moral character and has never displayed any indication that he would behave in any manner other than law abiding.

Truly an inspiration to us all. I find it hard to believe anyone could harbor any ill will towards him, let alone post scandalous rumours online in a place of such integrity as this great forum.

Holloway Rodriguez could be a great fight

Back on topic, athletes observing ramadan have it down. Khabib has fought a few times in the summer, in and around Ramadan. They just work through different schedules. And it can be flexible for pro athletes. Look at footballers in the world cup etc.

I don't think he has fought during Ramadan in the UFC or with a large portion of his camp inside Ramadan. I would have to check the dates. Fighting a few times in summer means little because you can fight before it no problem.

He definitely refused to fight at least once due to it and I assume UFC are aware of his requirements.

The other thing is that he has a bit of money and fame now, and the belt. There's always a difference between a fighter chasing the belt and the same fighter after he wins it in terms of willingness to take fights they don't really want etc.

Welcome to the MMA forum.

I've had to stop reading and posting in it. Appreciate I'm posting in it now! Never seen mods as power hungry in any forum anywhere else on the internet. Its like being in Pinochets Chile.

Ramadan effects training because they can't eat or drink (even water) before sunset. Basically reverse gremlins. For a fight in early July, half of his camp would be compromised and I doubt he would be up for it nowadays.

Your basic lack of understanding as to why they needed to pull the plug on this thread for a while is truly remarkable.

There is a story doing the rounds this morning in the tabloids with allegations towards an unnamed Irish Sports Star. It goes without saying be very very careful what you post here both as regards the allegations of the story and those involved and the legal ramifications of both. Any stupidity will be severely punished, you have been warned.

I see he posted on his Facebook page an hour ago, seems excited for 2019.

Good to see.

OK, thread re-opened on the following condition:

NO discussion of the alleged 'incident' will be permitted. There is an ongoing Garda investigation (reported on a mainstream news site) but that's as far as it has got.

Any discussion will lead to this being closed and action taken against those who discussed it.

If the situation changes, this condition will be reviewed / relaxed as appropriate.
