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 think that latest interview he comes accross very intense. I don't remember the good previous versions of him being like that. The way I remember it he was less intense, more funny. It looks like its very personal here and that's not the way I remember old conor. Its like he could take the interviewers head off, if he said something wrong. And whats with the fidgeting, why can't he stand still? He looks on edge, definitely not relaxed. But thats just what i see.

Despite all that my prediction is a conor win in rd 1 or 2, but I could be still in hangover mode from all the previous hype that goes with him. But also aware that he is a good fighter and that this is MMA,

Either way, I look forward to a good fight and may the best man win.

Conor has always been emotive and descriptive talking about his fights, he doesn't stop in his speech because somehting like THIS is easier for him to verbalise. that's pure thought to speak it's why he doesn't have to slow down. he's played it over 1000s of times in his head.

I thought he came across well in that interview, reminded me of his earlier days when he was great to listen to.
It went toxic during the Mayweather and Khabib fights.
It won't be long before he has to back it up now, this day 2 weeks.

So the logic for 170 is because he fully expects to fill in for Tony or Khabib and doesn't see the point in cutting twice?

Could just be words but seems very focused. No bs and promo stuff. Just ready to go against cerrone.

dave1982

Reckons khabib is scared of a rematch. He looks well tbf way fresher but I hope he never sees a title shot again. If he got shot at khabib next and won he'd want to go after BMF stalling the lw division again. Let him have fun fights masdival colby if he wants stay at 170. I'm sure there's fun fights at 155 for him too.

He was never Floyd Mayweather but he got his name out there enough that people wanted to see them fight.

It means Mayweather is extremely successful but still extremely disciplined, as opposed to McGregor. Nothing to do with them fighting.

akelly02

That would put a bit of excitement in ya . Looks like he got a crack or 2 on the nose aswell

Well he certainly looks a million times fresher in the face than I’ve seen him in a long time. Said it previously but I have heard the old man smack in the pub was very much an eye opener for him. I know there are other serious rumours floating about him but it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s not. People were certain he fathered a child with some other woman too.

I don’t have the same support for him anymore but I’d still get a thrill if he was back to his best. He was incredible when in his prime. Would love to see him make another run at it.

The american media have reported it as being him, so don't think people are feeling stupid about it.

I'm gonna call bs on khabib being afraid ha

Zero-Cool

Good interview, he sounds focused anyway but only time will tell. Great to hear him say he was disrespectful to his team last call with lack of commitment. Really looking forward to this fight as it will really show what 2020 will look like for Conor.

In a curious way, this is the most interesting McGregor fight perhaps since Mendes (elite wrestler). Sensible folk didn't expect too much against Mayweather, similarly Khabib outcome was hardly shocking, and most thought he'd at least be competitive against Aldo, Alvarez, Diaz.

Now, it's which McGregor shows up and his career and legacy at least in the short/medium term is on the line.

A loss against any of the above could have made his route more circuitous and difficult, but ultimately forgivable. Against Cowboy it could wrap up his career.

I thought it was something that a deflated, inaccurate, drained mcgregor could go 4 rounds with khabib, even being dominated and also that same drunken version managed to get up after a hay maker, this makes me think a fit strong version would beat khabib at 155, HOWEVER 170 is a bridge too far and he's going to feel the difference, even his sharpened boxing never turned up for khabib. POST Mayweather, all the rounds on his feet and good as he was beating aldo and Eddie, where the **** was the benefit of all that hard sharp boxing... on paper he should have been 10 times the striker and he couldn't have been farther from that.

he just has to accept his bell curve and move on like so many before him.

Its the effect fearing Khabib's wrestling has on every striker he's faced so far. That's his biggest asset and it's worked fantastically so far.

Once Khabib faces a good striker who isn't terrified of him getting his hands on them, we'll see what he's really made of.
I still think he'd do quite well, but he wouldn't have it all his own way like he currently does.

Anyone know when he heads stateside? You’d expect the PR to ramp up this weekend. I wonder does he have an agreement to do less media given the complete lack of same thus far.

Regarding the Khabib chat, I’d like to see Conor have a crack at him again but only after a couple of fights and if he looks back to the fighter he was. Seems a long time ago now that Eddie fight.

Just look at his body v Khabib and then let’s say Siver for example. I know he was a lot younger back then but he was like a piece of grizzle. Phenomenal shape. He looked tired and old opposite Khabib in the cage before a punch was thrown.

Kavanagh tweeted they are on the way over. Just saw a pic of conor and he is bulked up. Looks in good nick
