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.

No sign of him at the opening of John's new SBG gym yesterday.

Probably because he was down at the actual opening.
I seen at least one of his cling-ons there though, the Dunphy fella.

Yeah same - I got the infamous "We're not here to take part..." quote tattooed on my leg but I'm 5'6" and the guy could only fit in "We're not here" so it reads more like an existential statement.

Haha, you must be taking the piss. Love it either way.

Sound fella. Got caught up in the mcgregor buzz before he went from being a bit of a buzz to being a sour, classless, new money hero of dog fighters and prison lifers.
I havnt really got the heart to ask him if he regrets it.

Ah, there's always trousers. No harm.

Holloway fighting Dec 14th so McGregor won't be then.
His little cryptic message about Dec 14th in Dublin was just complete bulls*it.

Don't see McGregor fighting until he is in the clear from that reported investigation that was in the New York Times.

Ufc will not take the risk.

He’s in the clear for that.

Can't see McGregor giving in on this main event issue, even though a 3 round fight would massively suit him at this point.

I don’t think it’s necessarily about top billing. But being co-main prob means his PPV share takes a hit.

For all we know he could be in the clear.

UFC will throw him in the cage as main event as soon as they can.

The magic is gone for me, I was one of the ones saying his every move was a master publicity stunt a few years ago. I was wrong.

The reality is, If a fight happens I probably will watch it to see how he gets on. Even though there’s zero doubt about his character now for people who previously were fans - the numbers will add up and the ufc, McGregor and his likely opponents know this.

Any chance Diaz/Masvidal will be for new 165 title?

No, that is for the Bad Motherf****r Belt that is being made up for the fight

I was referring to McGregor v Diaz II
Endeavour weren’t the owners for the first one

They only took over on July 9th 2016, the original date for McGregor v Diaz 2. It was already re-booked for August 22nd when they became owners with tickets about to go on sale so they weren't going to change it.

The Diaz/Masvidal is the first time they've had a non-title fight headlining a PPV but they're making a new fake belt even for that.

So they just invented a new joke title?

I agree that its a joke. In the sense that it's good humoured, good natured and that people find it fun. Unlike Interim belts, this is a joke that everyone is in on.

They're obviously not taking this seriously. It's a big fight that the fans want to see. They're throwing in a little pizzazz by inventing a ridiculous belt to put on the line.

I, for one, appreciate that the port can still have a little bit of craic.

There will be 3 titles on that card.

Nunes, Holloway...probably Cejudo

Thats 4 titles. Cejudo is the cringe world champ too remember.

Dana's bringing in an interim cringe world champ belt apparently.

Yeah maybe, but this isn’t a sport rooted in traditions like cricket or rugby. And rules can be changed. And there won’t be any joke about the fight it’s about as jokeless a sport out there.

Lads, he's the biggest star in MMA. He's gonna be headlining the card regardless of if it's a title fight or not.

They already offered McGregor a co main event fight during the year and he turned it down on that basis.

Nunes vs GDR on UFC 245 but no headliner yet. Makes sense to have a McGregor PPV then as people go wild spending money in December anyway.
