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.

Give it up man! You tried to claim I said he was unbeatable when I clearly didn't.

Insert confused face here!

I can't believe a person actually typed this out and thinks it makes any sense!

Edit: I see your explanation but you can't expect people to interpret 'what you type' to be the same as 'what you mean in your head'.

You meant one thing but your words implied a very different meaning.

I think you mean he's untouchable by those within the ranks as they are and you are correct. This is the same way Aldo went for many years, until a newbie climbed the ranks and figured him out. Yes I agree with you, that's what it will/would take because nobody in the present class have it for him, best shot though would be a rematch with mcgregor if he blitz's poirier on the assumption that is Conor mcgregor didnt give him his best in there where as Khabib did and it still went to 4 rounds...

Exactly.

Nobody is unbeatable.

Khabib is not untouchable.

Khabib won't be touched by anyone currently in the Top 10/15 however. He is better than all of them.

All pretty straight forward in my opinion.

If it means that much to you to be right in the internet, there's nothing I can do.

Is that not the very definition of him being untouchable in the lightweight division

Maybe there is a level of nuance and detail that is beyond me here :pac:

A condescending comment claiming I said that Khabib was unbeatable became "You are saying he's untouchable" because it was obvious I hadn't said the former.

Does anyone in the division touch him right now? No.

Are there any up and comers who might? Or guys moving up in weight, or down in weight, or those in other divisions that Khabib might move into who could touch him? Perhaps!

Are you really arguing that the above doesn't imply untouchable?

John Kavanagh was good on Ariel Helwani show.

Conors & team always have time for Ariel, even offered to fly Ariel out.

Or just pointing out it's not the exactly phrase you used, which seems a bit nitpicky.

So, there's nobody to touch the man, nobody will trouble him. But you are NOT implying he is unbeatable.
Honestly, I think that's a contradiction. You obviously don't somehow. Happy to leave it there, as it's going off topic.

Honestly still don't know not troubled, untouchable, etc isn't the same as unbeatable.

I never said he was untouchable either.

Again, there is a full explanation of what I meant on this thread, posted not so long ago. I don't get why there is still confusion.

Audacious what what, who doesn't McGregor beat from this list (aside from McGregor ) and an upcoming ? over Poirier who he's already beat

Gaejthe
Poirier
McGregor
Al laquinta
Barbosa
Johnson
Horcher
RDA
Pat Healy
Trujillo
Tavares
Tibau
Shalorus

I'd leave it to the experts to rate his pre-UFC opponents..................It's a very good record it's consistent but it's as padded as the accusations thrown at McGregor 145 record .........................missed out on a matchup with Ferguson 5 times, 5 fking times

I think McGregor probably beats all of these guys.

But that still leaves him as #2 in that division. Khabib is by far the best guy in the division and he beats McGregor in a rematch. He was stopped comprehensively in the first fight. There was no fluke involved. Khabib did what Khabib does and would do so again.

There's nobody in the division to touch the man. The only X factor is Oliviera but that's only because they haven't fought. I don't think Oliviera gets near him either.

What shot do you reckon McGregor throws first ?

Normally he comes out the gate with something wild bar the Khabib fight,

Before Cerrone, the last time he did anything 'wild' was the spinning back kick against Mendes.

Ariel - 500k donation, what do you make of that, you know I spoke to Al Iaquinta and he said Dustin has already lost and is kind of just happy to be there. And I've heard this from other people...Conor cuts off

I'd like to...I'd like to fight Al Iaquinta at some stage
I'd like to fight Al
I don't know I'd like to fight him
I'd like to fight Al
He said a few things

Not sure he wants to fight him just trying to change the subject had to say i'd like to fight him 4 times whilst thinking of something else to say.

well if he wasn't, that was some shocking behavior.. you could excuse it somewhat if said in Drink..If he was sober, I'd say he looks back and is mortified or at least should be. He had a few on him, you could tell by his demeanor but it wasn't visible I agree on that.
