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.

Cowardly by McGregor fighting a bum in Cowboy.

He fears Gaethje.

Finally! Wish it was lightweight though as this looks like he's angling for a Jorge fight after it. Probably doesn't want to cut too much over Christmas as well.

Welterweight is a strange one. If the reason for that is that he doesn't want to cut weight over Christmas, it's kinda hard to take his commitment seriously. Should beat Cowboy either way.

Man Vs ManUre

Fight announced but as posted above it's currently in limbo. Not annouced as a numbered yet but I'd imagine that's as they are waiting on McGregor so they can see which number it will be.

He is definitely not fighting on a fight night, i think its either whether its 246 or 247(as above) or if a numbered event will be on that date at all.

Could it be related to uncertainty as to whether it's 246 or 247? i.e. if Jan card is a PPV or not?

That's what I thought they were nipping in the bud by announcing it, now they've pulled it back maybe Jan PPV is back on the menu?

Jones would hardly fight on a fight night would he? That 246 was definitely taken off though so something is going on

Absolutely zero chance Jones fights on a fight night card. There's about as much a chance as me headlining the card myself.

I was looking at this yesterday, really good flights for €350 (friday to monday) hotel for around 60-70 a night, €450 all in not bad

Until i checked the UFC link again today and the 246 part is removed!!!!!

Im sure its still jones, but skeptical now its just a fight night

The beard is very very bushy now. This is a really good sign. Fight announcement is coming very soon, tho they will probably delay it till the week leading up to Usman vs Colby. Viva Las Vegas baby.

Incredible scenes here at boards.ie

ricero

He's all fart no ****e these days.

Still convinced no fighting until all his legal troubles are cleared.

dulux99

Well that's the end of that, it seems. No event slated for January 18th.

Paddy & Conor are still tight in any case. Paddy says in his book they when the wheels started falling off SBG Tallaght, Conor tried to give Paddy €150k to set up his own gym.

Paddy gave SBG Tallaght one last go but obviously ultimately left

I found that odd as John and Paddy obviously don't see eye to eye and Conor pitched in on the situation not long ago on Twitter. Think it was to one of Tom Kings tweets about him leaving the SBG banner

You literally said "Anyway Dana has confirmed it now" like there was some new development which changes the discussion. So of course the when matters. You were fooled by clickbait.

So it was confirmed 2weeks? I must the expiration date on that one.
And the confirmed title fight in feb is somehow invalid? :rolleyes:
You’re track record for making up nonsense is on fire.

The Floyd p

He's gonna fight Cowboy and likely dust him too. If McGregor fights anything close to his potential it should be a good night for him. The only thing would be that Cowboy's biggest weakness is pressure, and McGregor isn't exactly known for his pressure. He's displayed it for a bit with Diaz, but as everyone knows he's most comfortable being a wicked counter fighter.

He gave that interview 3 or 4 weeks ago. A clickbait video re-posted the quote the other day.

The Ariel comment/source for the feb fights were only this week though. Those fights have essentially been announced. Which confirms it was the January plans.
I don’t see how the when matters. If that’s what they’re working on that’s what they’re working on.

Edit:
From Twitter. “Houston PPV”. Usually they’d refer to the number.
