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'm hoping Cerrone wins this one myself.

Cerrone has fought eleven times since McGregor's second last fight.

And lost more than half of those fights.

I hope it's a walkover for Conor but if he shows up half arsed and Cowboy is on form, it will be a very interesting scrap!

McGregor hits Cerrone with the shots he hit Diaz in The first rounds of their fights and he knocks him stiff. Cowboy will fold in half.

If McGregor doesn’t stop him inside the first it might get very interesting . But Cowboy is basic enough 1-2 and kick . Good fight for Conor

As long as marvin hagler wakes him up at 6am to go for a jog in silk pajamas, he wins.

McGregor losses for one reason and that the weight class ,

robwen

This fight at welterweight must mean he's targeting Masvidal & the BMF belt next

Preview of what the presser should be like but with more proper 12 and bud.

Am I right in saying he has no plans to cut weight. He is going into the fight on party mode?

He'll cut a few pounds on fightweek only I imagine...probably something in the region of 5-10

Conor lights him up

Good to see lots of different opinions, I honestly think McGregor beats Cerrone with ease. Either way who ever loses this should retire

He's been very, very inactive and is coming off a thumping. This is a decent test for him. Anyone else coming off such a loss would get treated similar. People are going to cry foul no matter who they paired him with, but this is the correct matchmaking.

Same. I think with Cowboy's experience, Conor's layoff and the fight being at WW, this should be competitive and is probably a pick 'em given the circumstances.

Oops. Lots of egg on faces in here. Wonder if the press conference will be this side of Christmas.

Yeah, I was wrong. Happy to be wrong. It's ok to be wrong sometimes.

I think he'll struggle with Cerrone height

Be interesting to see if he's actually built himself up this time. He didn't look his best vs Nate, but he was featherweight champ at the time.

pastorbarrett

Whatever about his chances against Cowboy, there's zero chances he's taking out Masvidal at 170.

No chance, there's fights being announced left right and centre for events in Houston and Raleigh, not a sniff of any fight for January in Vegas. If there was an event in January, there'd atleast be some prelims being organised by now.

Exactly as I predicted last week.
You can call me mystic man vs manure, cos I predict these tiiings!!

What prediction?

Sounds like the sensible fight to take, no point jumping back in at the deep end.

Glad for Cerrone he'll finally have a decent pay day, if he loses he should retire.

He may even be Champ Quadrant by end of 2020 if he fights Masvidal next and then Colby.

Good point!

Had forgotten about the BMF title haha.

You could wake Conor after a week of coke and booze and he'd stop cowboy in two rounds. Since he's doing some training this fight will last all of 4 minutes.

Colby vs Conor would be a super fight for the ages. The trash talking in the lead up will be the stuff of legend.

Cowardly by McGregor fighting a bum in Cowboy.

He fears Gaethje.

Nobody fears Gaethje. He lost to the only two decent fellas he fought. Absolute chancer.
