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.

Hes not fighting in December and definitely not in Dublin I promise ye that

simongurnick

Would they go outdoor in December? Conor would be fine but any yanks or brasilians would freeze their bollix off.
Also, early evening is a weird time in the us for fights but its not completely nuts. Loads of other sports like college football, baseball and hockey run at those times. Not sure many dudes will say " i dont want beers and a fight at 5 on a saturday!"

Be pretty smart by the ufc to have him fight in Dublin .

He would be able to get the head down and might actually really make an effort to get things back on track .

Also wasn’t the Dubai card a PPV and supposedly done great numbers . They could actually do a PPV in Dublin no ?

I'm sure the Arabs paid a **** tonne of money for that event

They definitely could do a Dublin PPV, especially considering Dubai has a further time difference to the US.

Some of their PPV's do terrible numbers as it is. So no real reason why they couldn't have a big fight in Ireland that would bring a lot of novelty to an event.

I'd like to see him fight Justin G. It's a winnable fight that puts him right back into the title picture.

Winner of that could face the winner of Khabib and T Ferg.

I wouldn't mind him facing Felder either as a sort of 'Irish' showdown. Preferably in Croke Park or the Aviva.

He's doing some promo for his FAST yoke, something about the FAST World Championships, whatever that may be.

Probably just some nonsense PR event for his whiskey in the run up to Christmas. Although, if you hang around long enough you will probably catch him slapping the head off a few oul lads outside the local Bingo club!

Man Vs ManUre

He signed off an Instagram post last week also with ‘see you all soon’ or something. Hopefully a fight is announced soon, it’s becoming a joke now and more and more difficult to justify supporting him still. He should be willing to fight either Poirier or Gatyche and is a fight that makes sense to both parties. Not sure if he can demand same pay as before.

They'd probably still lose a shít tonne of money vs having it in Las Vegas or New York. There will be less PPV buys and they won't be able to charge 10k a ticket to the 3Arena. The only way Dublin happens is if McGregor is no longer a huge draw so I can't see it happening.

I think his keyboard auto corrected "Dustin" to "Dublin" and he is hinting at fighting Poirier on Dec 14th......

McGregor teases possible Dublin return

all main media seems to be at that click click click. Agreed with above, definitely not getting the likes he usually does, interest definitely waning. I like how the LW's are mostly bypassing him with callouts now. I know he enjoys a callout but it will rile him up awful to just be ignored.

Already a Fight Night event scheduled for that date in Vegas so most likely its not an MMA related tweet at all.

Wasn’t there a pay per view interview once done by McGregor?

Maybe another instalment?

It's a numbered event; 245. Not even a thread on his tweet on r/mma :pac:

He has 5 fights left on his current UFC deal. No way he fights 5 more times with them, we'll never see him in a Bellator cage.

No way he fights in Dublin again until he gets bumped to Bellator, so it's not fight related so most people probably don't care.

I think he's just excited that he's booked his tickets to the June Rodgers Christmas Show.

Indeed but unfortunately people still check on the forum or read their emails. But there's also a charter which clearly says the rules regarding spoilers so its pretty simple to follow and either post in the event thread or use spoiler tags..

US2

Common sense would be not going onto an MMA forum if you're avoiding results.

Axwell

Lads some common sense please, if you are going to reference a fight that was barely on a few hours ago at least use spoiler tags for a bit!
