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.

Sounds like he's aiming for the trilogy now, or just trying to get people to talk about him.

Yeah looks like dana is done with conor. No trying to defend him when asked the question

Conor's last line of his comment sounds like someone who thought the ship was going to wait for him, but it looks to have sailed and left him standing on the dock.

His outlined 3 fight season plan looks ruined

I really really really hope they don't sign off on a fight with Jorge at 170, would be an absolute massacre. I'd be happy with a fight with Cowboy and just take it from there. Cowboy will be no walkover but will sore what 2020 will look like for Conor.

Still Ill

Yeah, he just doesn't have the sway he used to have with the UFC now. He used to call the shots and get what he wanted. Get the feeling that Dana is kinda sick of him at this stage. There's other fights that will sell, albeit not as big as a McGregor fight, but seems like they've moved on. They were successful pre McGregor and they'll continue to be without him.

So Conor stayed home to concentrate on his training. Exactly as I predicted.

What's he training for?
At the end of this interview after the Diaz / Masvidal stoppage, Dana White says there are no fights lined up for Conor, nothing agreed, nothing on offer.

My money is on Nate. Masvidal looks a bit like a girl. He reminds me of the bearded lady that won the Eurovision a few years ago.

Masvidal wins this, better hands, really good grappler to avoid any sneaky submissions unless he gets dropped. Actually think he should mix it up and wrestle too as I think he'd dominate there.Think he wins a decision.

Gastelum stops Till, again, has better hands and head movement and a head like a melon.

Kevin Lee to gas after 3 minutes and lose to Gillespie. Johnny Walker also getting another win.

Backed those four to win @ 5/1

It’s great that his bushy beard is back anyways. I didn’t like the tight stubble look he experimented with recently.

Interesting topic, I'd like to see him try a moustache.

He needs to go back to clean shaven. Where his powers originated.

Money is his main goal. You don't make money by training 24/7.

I find him funny anyway. And no other fighter really is bringing anything extra wwe style entertainment, like Conor used to. I enjoy his interviews and pressers like I used to enjoy Conor’s.
I also like the way he is pretty much alone standing up to the pack bullies like Ali and even Khabib and Diaz with their large aggressive crews.

He's pretty much alone cos everyone thinks he's a cabbage.
Not everyone needs to be cutting promos like stone cold, tonight's event is proof of that.

He's extremely talented, but this character he portrays needs to **** off somewhere far, and then **** off some more when it gets there.

If he does attend what better way to do it than getting in a scrap with Trump?

Diaz was quite non comittal about a trilogy fight so attendance might be a good move.

Lol. He won’t be getting any more chances with the American legal system if he was to throw a dig at any of the Trumps.
According to his next 3 fights plan, the 2nd is to fight winner of tonight for the BMF title in April/May. So maybe ufc will have flown him out for tonight.

Agree. Also 244 is such a big fun special event, with Nate and Jorge, co-main and rest of card getting a lot of attention and kudos. So far it's pretty (fighter) drama free and good natured. It would be really horrible to steal their light. Bad enough Colby is trying.

I like the character that Colby has created. It’s funny and entertaining, very different to Conor of few years ago but he brings the same type of entertainment to the pressers and interviews that Conor used to. And anyone going up against Ali Abdelisleaze is worth supporting!!
Colby is an absolute beast too behind the character. His wrestling and cardio is unreal, and from his last fight his striking isn’t far behind. He just keeps going forward like the Terminator. Hope he becomes the champ in December. Usman probably got lucky against a very distracted Woodley in his last fight.

By that line of thinking you are sayn he suld never attend.

Since he became a huge star, I’ve only seen him attend ufc200. Although he did behave himself at that he looked bit silly the way he stood out to watch the Aldo/Edgar fight.
He behaved himself at the last Bellator in Dublin a few weeks ago. But others in last couple of years he didn’t, and just came across as pure stupid the way he went over the top celebrating him mates winning.
I don’t think he will attend tonight, but maybe he will.

Maybe so. I just think he needs to keep the head low for a while, and get back to serious training, which he seems to be doing. He has a lot of enemies now in the sport.

I might be wrong but he doesn’t seem to be able to mingle and gang around in vicinity of other fighters at these big events, the way the likes of Holloway, Ferguson, Khabib even Diaz can. With Conor there needs to be a team of security guards around. And I remember ufc 200 when he attended, and stood in way of others during the main fights. If I was other fighter/celeb even wealthy person in them seats I wouldn’t have liked that. Am all for participating in the atmosphere of the crowd but not having some fella in my area thinking they are special.
