Conor McGregor thread (MMA Talk Only - Read 1st Post Before Posting)

Axwell

With the recent addition of the Off-topic discussion thread, I am closing the current McGregor thread so that chat going forward can be located in the correct threads. This thread is for MMA related discussion only - any other gossip/showbiz type stories are to be discussed in the off topic thread.

Please make sure to review the updated charter before posting - there have been some amendments made in light of these changes and in posting here you are at all times expected to follow those rules and guidelines.

As before there is a strict rule on no chat to be had here about legal issues or court cases as per the charter - this is a strict no go regardless of where it has or hasn't been posted in the media it is not allowed on boards.ie at all. This is not up for debate and it has been said multiple times now.

Be a very quick turnaround for someone to fight in December on the back of a victory only three months previous, wouldn't it? Not unheard of, but unusual.

well, Khabib only needs 20 minutes and some water

ah right, maybe he's hanging in for the winner of that, perhaps that's why Coach K said he would fight by the end of the year.

Not officially but it's expected to be September 7th in Abu Dhabi

Nope but I'd say it'll end up being the Abu Dhabi card.

The current champ.

He was completely mad to throw a spanner into the works by refusing the co-main event fight a few months back. Genuinely looks like a loooooong wait now unless one of the other fights in the works falls through and leaves someone looking around for a new challenger, and given Conor's current ego issues, one wonders if he'd even be willing to fight under those circumstances.

Probably not what the UFC would want either given it would give them a shorter time to hype and promote his comeback.

I'm kinda over Conor at this stage. Sh*te or get off the pot.

And Raging Al has a 6month medical suspension, so unless he gets cleared by a doc that's out too.

Him v Justin would be great, can't see it happening tho

I believe that Coach Kav was asked at Wellfest over the weekend about when he is expected back in the ring. End of Summer and if not, end of the year is what he expects.
I seen a brief clip of this on Insta stories.

Mellor

Should probably clarify that it in relation to the phone smashing incident

Charges dropped against him today, he can resume his MMA career :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I think he knows the game is up now. He just can't have the appetite anymore to compete at that level.

Why not? Look at How many multi millionaire boxers keep fighting and not lose desire. He lost to khabib just like everyone else did/will.

He won't be back... He's still earning via pretending he's still in the game

Clever move by UFC, take away Conor's options to dwindle his negotiating power. I think Max is going back to 145 and I doubt Conor will go back there even for an instant title shot.

simongurnick

So poirier khabib is in the works as well as cowboy ferguson and now nate pettis...where does that leave conor? Max off a loss? A weird silva catchweight? Not looking good.

Never wrestle with pigs

I think that they will go full wwe and someone will drop out of the two bigger fights and you might just see Conor jump in. Hopefully anyway lol.

His whiskey's sales are not 1 billion. Nowhere near it. Also, do you really think ESPN wouldn't want the biggest name in MMA headlining a PPV?

Hard to see who he fights next but I hope he fights soon. Nothing like a McGregor card.

It’s sad now that best us fans can hope for is 1 fight per year with 9 months of not knowing.
We all know Conor is the main attraction but hedoesnot have much longer shelf life. I cannot even imagine the talks going on behind the scenes, obviously Conor is asking for his true (arguable) value and also probably wanting a headline or title/interim fight.
It’s just sad that us mere mortal fans are missing out now, after the experience of the past few years. I doubt UFC will ever had a bigger star.
I used to think that Conor could become the biggest of all sports stars, but no way now if he isn’t even competing. ☹️

Conor is done with fighting altogether. Since his whiskey brand had 1 billion in sales and the UFC going to ESPN+ route with PPV's there's no point in fighting for him anymore and it's hard to blame him. ESPN demanded that every PPV be headlined by a title fight so he won't be main event anymore despite being the draw on any PPV. The UFC are an absolute mess now anyway since the WME sale.

What's left for McGregor? Could it be 2020 before he fights?? I hope not

I think if you see that fight for July or August right now, Conor would probably lose it and that is insane because a few years ago Conor would have dismantled someone like Cowboy even in his current run. I have no idea why Conor doesn't just formally announce his retirement.

He's been banned since he last fought.
