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.

It's easy for Dana and Conor to both say he will step in to face Khabib or Tony, but it will never happen, they will not let possibly the biggest fight in MMA be promoted in a few weeks ( or days depending if an injury happens)

depending what route he takes I feel either Gaethje or Masvidal at international fight week (July) then Usman or LW champ at MSG Nov.

That will be 3 fights.

For others talking about Cowboy, per rankings its a matched fight 2 top 10's you can't really say its a bad match up?

For others saying up and comers will beat Cowboy with ease, Alex hernandez tried to be "that kid" and got TKO'd.

Dont get me wrong, i think Conor is a higher level than Cerrone and if he turns up with the Megregor 2020 season attitude it should be done in 1. but he isnt fighting a bum either, his last 2 loses were against 2 lads next in line for the title so he still holds some warrant

Is there many heading over from Ireland I wonder. Didn't even look at prices tbh couldn't justify another vegas trip for him.

Kavanagh sounding confident, saying best he's ever looked etc... What was he saying before the Khabib fight can anyone remember?

He says the same thing before every fight, that's his job.
You can really compare the two different opponents or camps to be honest.

I just asked the sky reps on here is it possible to get BT Box Office with now tv. Will have an answer tomorrow afternoon. If it doesn't work will have to get a 1 month Iptv sub

I can put you onto a fella that does a great iptv service if you need it.

He's been more or less this weight for the last 3 years or so, maybe a lb or so heavier now. If his cardio isn't up to scratch in the fight I don't think the extra weight can be pointed to as the reason for it.

Agreed, if he cuts at all it will be negligible. I imagine Cowboy will have 8-10 pounds on him.

With the fight being at WW, will the extra weight he's carrying harm his cardio more or less than the lack of a weight cut helps it?

I’m with VM now so I think the only way I can see this fight live is with now tv.
Had a look at their website and I don’t see anything about ppv with bt.
I’m not sure how exactly to do the 14 day free trial period, but I see you can get a 1 day or 1 week bt/premiere sports pack. If you were to get this will now tv allow you to pay a little extra for the ppv on bt sports??

Ya I was wondering this meself how does bt box office work alongside this.

Only reason I came across the idea of Now TV for the ufc was because a website linked them as one the options for watching the fight in Ireland.

Once that 8 mins is up and the power in his punches diminishes, Conor is vulnerable as he doesn’t have enough other tools to get the job done.

Is NOW TV not a piece of **** the majority of the time? Seen nothing but bad comments on there forums and elsewhere.

How do you go about ordering it with sky if your not a customer?

Havnt ordered anything off Sky for BT yet but I'm sure it's easy. Start a thread here on the "Talk to" sky and ask them.

Right lads i hate to be the one asking these questions but cant find an answer elsewhere .

Was looking into an official stream for 246 i remember getting one from ufc.tv before.

So just went on there to check and it appears you can no longer watch it via vpn!?

Is this a new thing? None of us have sky or virgin so thats a no go. I use iptv meself so there's that but always like to have the option of an official route when there's a few of us so no one can moan!

So what are the options streaming atm?

Id agree. Went 10 rds with floyd too. New pro boxers dont even fight 10 rds for the first year of their careers. Its a big step.

Also, anyone see the kavanagh interview with maclife. The dude comes out with some corny ****e. He was even laughing at himself!

When you say he went 10 rounds, he was very slow and lacking power from round 3/4.

Conor fighting Michael Cerrone on Thursday 16th Jan. Never change, Irish mainstream media attempting to cover mma.

So he is doing coke during a training session? Jog on lad.

It's proper 12, that's what was in the bottle.

I thought it was a good interview, the khabib stuff didn't need to be said just yet though. One step at a time on this 'redemption' journey.

Man Vs ManUre

Was also impressed in the interview with how Conor spoke of Gatche. He was pretty respectful towards him and gave sting indication that he could be his next fight. He certainly put him up there amongst the top fighters.
Was also obvious he was hoping Nate would have won the BMF fight there few weeks ago, thereby setting up an immediate superfight in the summer with the BMF title on the line and the final part of the trilogy. Shows you also the huge respect and like he has for Nate.

Man Vs ManUre

It’s just an interview why is it being looked so deeply into for negatives??
What I liked most about this interview is Conor saying he will be fit and ready to step in as a last minute replacement if either Khabib or Tony don’t make it again. Would either of them accept that say 2 days before the fight, I doubt it?? A championship fight vs Khabib or an intern vs Tony. Will ufc allow that and give up the pre fight and marketing?? The ppv figures would still go through the roof with this late change tho probably not same as had it been a full build up.

I'd say he's on adrenaline there, dopamine or serotonin..

Hes the same in all interviews after training. Look up the older ones with Andrew McGahon
