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 like that card, some possible cracking fights, especially the women's.

When is the 246 presser on ðŸ˜’

For a Fight Night it might be a decent looking card but for a numbered ppv its shockingly bad imo

Still Ill

It's a McGregor card, so I guess they don't have to try.

The card is what is expected, names you notice but doesnt demand a high payout.

They have to balance out the books, they cant have Mcgregor and other top tier fighters on the same card.

outside of McGregor and cerrone, the rest of the card will probably accumulate to less than 1 mill.

So it probably balances out to what was made at UFC 245.

Im sure there is a limit on what they payout per event.

Plus this event is unpredictable on PPV sales, it could sell 500k or 2 million, its unknown.

Anyone know when the first press conference is?

That card is crap not a single fight excites me. Cerrone is a bit of a bate bag for the top fighters but I don't think this is a gimme for Conor either. If he doesn't put him down in the first 2 rounds he will struggle.

It is a gimme fight. Wont last 60 seconds

That depends what McGregor turns up. At that weight if he comes out swinging long he will gas heavily in round 2.

He had his ass handed to him in his last fight. The decent McGregor will show up for this fight. Might not be Alvarez McGregor or Aldo McGregor, but it'll be as close to Diaz II McGregor that he can manage.

Cowboy will be well briefed on how the fight has to go I’d imagine.

No money in a Khabib rematch if he is coming off another loss and still in a downward spiral.

Yup. Only one ladder and two tables to be used. Cowboy has to let him get the pin in the 3rd. Rumour conor has a new signature finisher called the marble arch

I'd say we're gonna see the McGregor of 2013-2016, in terms of focus and dedication at least.

He's going after the 170 belt.

He's not going to cut to 145 ever again and he would be slaughtered by any WW in the top 5.

You'll never see that Conor again.

If by some fluke he managed to make it to Usman, he'd be mauled.

Yep big time but he might have a wee chance against the likes of Colby who isn’t a big hitter although his cardio is unreal

Colby would maul him as well.
True 170 lads are too big for him and most of the top guys are wrestlers so he'd be wrestle ****ed for as long as they wanted.

Would the likes of Colby not fancy his chances keeping it standing like the other night, what kind of weight was he on fight night?

Doubt it. Him and Usman kept it standing as they both have great wrestling, plus Usman probably wanted to put a beating on him.
Colby knows Conor has better striking, so he'd just grab hold and rag doll him for whatever length of time.

I'd say a lot of the 170er's cut down from around 190-200lbs, Conor walks around at about 170, might be slightly higher now he doesn't have to cut to 145 any more. Depending on how much he can get back rehydrating, I'd guess 185 ish? I don't think he cuts as much as some of the others.

Yeah I suppose after watching how dominant Khabib was against him they would be silly not to maul him on the ground, although colbys ego might outweigh his common sense!

Colby would dominate him alot more than Khabib did , same with Usman an Woodley. Thompson would knock him out too. Only guy he has a hope against is masvidal

C'mon... Pettis KO'd Wonderboy..

McGregors not a 170lb fighter. He not even 5ft 9. His most famous win is against a guy who just lost at 135. He'll get absolutely mauled by most of the WW Top 10.
