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.

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

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 ?

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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!"

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

The absolute state of lads posting in here whenever McGregor opens his mouth or starts typing. They say he's nothing, finished, a has been/never was but they are completely and utterly obsessed with him.

Normal UFC time is 7pm in US. Having it as a PPV in Ireland would be 12pm start in the US

Not that I think there's anything in this, but for arguments sake, the event could be staged earlier in the day here. Say, main event for 7pm-ish.

But that would make it even earlier in the States

J Mysterio

Oh... Yeah. Well, sh1t.

Maybe the reverse then

Axwell

There is already an event scheduled that day in Vegas, also considering his current standing with the UFC I think it's pretty clear there is no chance of him getting an event in Dublin right now and headlining it - he needs to get back in the cage and build up his reputation a bit. I'm surprised people are even talking about the possibility of it, to be honest.

Of all people, you shouldn't be surprised with anything you read in this thread..

For the prelims
Main card starts at 10 est. That would be 3 am in ireland which wont happen. So if the main card is 10 ireland it will be 5 est.

I just hear on the news on newstalk that he's going boxing that keeler fella in December. Can't see the UFC allowing that not much money to be made

Man Vs ManUre

Where is the big January event, is it going back to Boston?? Otherwise we probably won’t see him till March in Vegas. Very disappointing the way Conor has let his fighting career slip due to becoming too big a superstar and having too much money.

I am not sure why people are surprised at this......Why fight in the first place? He has been very honest about his aim. It's just sad that it's not just the fighting he has let go, his reputation is in tatters for his behavior - not sure if he cares that much at this point.
