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.

I never said he was untouchable either.

There's nobody in the division to touch the man.

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

John Kavanagh was good on Ariel Helwani show.

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

I'm not the one nitpicking.

Nobody in the division can touch him, this does not mean he is untouchable.

It also does not mean he is unbeatable.

Give it up man! You tried to claim I said he was unbeatable when I clearly didn't. I even went through the trouble of explaining myself in detail in a subsequent post. Now you're nitpicking, but accusing me of it.

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

Nobody in that division can touch him...

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!

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.

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.

Correction:

Khabib is miles ahead of the rest of that division. And nobody will trouble him.

Conor might be second, but their fight showed you that it's not close.

People though Ronda ws unbeatable at one point. :rolleyes:

I've explained myself on the thread. If you can't keep up with it, that's on you.

I see you're taking the opportunity to apologise to absolutely nobody.

To be fair it hadn't been articulated well in the first post.

As I said, nobody at 155 right now touches Khabib. He's better than all of them.

This does not make him unbeatable.

At no point did I say he was unbeatable.

He's not unbeatable.

If I'd typed "Khabib is unbeatable" that would be fine.

Had I typed multiple times "Khabib is not unbeatable" multiple times, which I have, and explained myself in detail, which I have, i'm not sure why it's still being spoken about.

If Khabib grew some balls and moved up to really challenge himself then he could be very touchable..

At least Jon Bones Jones finally decided to take the chance...

That's the thing.

Saying Khabib beats everyone at 155 doesn't mean he doesn't get killed by Usman or someone else not currently in the division.

Not sure how many times or ways I need to explain it.

Like has been said already, your original post lacked clarity, and is (and was) easily misconstrued. I don't know why you got so salty about it.

I'm not sure what MrStuffins meant, could we dedicate another couple pages to it please?

It's been a while since I ventured into the MMA forum on boards, glad to see the usual suspects are all still here winding each other up over nothing!

Just need a subtle dig at Conor from Walshb now and we're all set.

Not enough talk about the length of his beard, how will we know what his frame of mind is like without someone to analyse the likes of that?

No mcgregor on embedded 2. He is giving others the light id say.
