Official Conor McGregor Thread (READ MOD WARNING IN OP)

pablohoney87

OK guys,

The dust has cleared on the disaster that was the last thread. The biggest culprits won't be joining us here (Or anywhere else on the forum). Others have been warned in PMs.

This thread is a clean slate for everyone but there will be zero tolerance on it.

I remind all users to take a fresh look at the charter before posting here.

FIGHTER BASHING OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

It doesn't take a Masters in English to know the difference between a negative opinion of somebody and name calling.

This Thread is for all things about Connor that won't go into event threads. I.E. all speculation about opponents, his twitter posts, public appearances and media.

Once a fight has been announced and an event named all news relating to that fight can go into the event thread.

My own opinion on McGrogor vs Sanchez (Finally), this is an awful fight for sanchez I think. Especially if he loses to Connor at WW he is finished. Diego gets by with half decent striking and wrestling and the rest on athleticism and aggression.

Conors footwork is just too good to be held against the fence and isnt that much smaller than Diego. If Connor loses he'll probably get his wrist slapped by Dana and told to wise up and stick to 145, worst case scenario. Diego has much much more to lose in this fight and I think his emotions will get the best of him and we'll see something similar to Brimage.

But being honest I don't see the fight happening. Dana is probably getting a bit sick of fighters calling opponents out so publicly and he and his match makers will still want to be seen as the ones pulling the strings.

I've been. A very interesting and eye opening experience. He was taking the piss, or at least I hope he was.

Your post is the only thing that doesn't make sense!

Looks like the Siver fight is a lock, huge Conor fan but I'm a disappointed in this matchmaking - Jack Slack pretty much summed up my thoughts over on reddit so I'll just quote them here:

Bermudez and Lamas will fight in 3 weeks. Saving an exceptionally long medical suspension, there's no reason the winner couldn't fight McGregor in January or February in a legitimate title eliminator.

I bet either would leap at the chance to fight him.

Elkins fights Saturday and could easily make a January or February match.

Nick Lentz is free and could fight him tomorrow.

Hell if we're going for an honest tune up, Clay Guida isn't booked to fight.

There are guys who would challenge his wrestling that are ranked both above and below Silver, Lentz has even been calling him out on twitter. Conor will destroy him in the first round. Nice purse for Conor though, and gives him a few more months to improve his game further before facing one of the division true big boys in terms of wrestling.

Conors ready to fight now and going by his last 2 fights he be able to fight again in January

What i ment was when he asked about the favella and the driver said he knew were it was his accent changed from his americanised one that makes him widely more understandable to a typical dub voice were he seemed to be fairly serious about asking to go there.

Conor said when jose wins, he's gonna hop in the cage and cause chaos. I don't think Dana will allow it anyway and will be highly stupid if he's left in there. Whoever wins will be high on adrenaline and something would definitely kick off.

If he gets in the cage im 100000% sure something like this will happen.

Yupp and dana gave out about Strikeforce allowing that to happen. Saying that, if something like that happened, Dana knows the publicity would be crazy.

I doubt that will happen. Conor wouldn't risk destroying one of his famous suits!

Also for many other reasons.

Yeah i doubt he'll go in but if the winner calls him out and talks shyte, id say he'd hop straight in.

I'm not a Mcgregor hater by any stretch. Delighted he's so successful and can't wait to see his future fights. He's an exciting fighter but Jesus, his persona is getting progressively more annoying.

Can't say I'm delighted with that, happy he's fighting but not happy with Siver. Would have preferred Lentz.

Siver is absolutely made for him, FFS he's going to smash the balls out of him without a challenge, totally set up to give the Irish/Americans a good night

Exactly this, he will destroy the 'german midget' (Quoting conor so can't get a yellow

), this is win win for UFC, they put their golden goose on a Fox card, bringing him to a much bigger audience, without much risk, and he stays active

Felt like that would be pushing the boundaries of fighter bashing, conor quote or not :pac:

If Conor wins this and gets his title shot, id say it will be on the card thats at the end of May, or the big one at the start of July

Is it a numbered event?

So disappointed in this matchmaking. We're not going to learn anything about Conor, it won't improve his ranking, so just seems like a waste of time.

I'm a supporter of Conor so on the face of it I'm thinking I should be happy because (in my opinion) it's an easy fight for him, but at the same time I really didn't want to believe the stuff about the UFC handpicking his opponents, and I want to see him tested so the critics of his wrestling can be quietened. This fight pretty much confirms they've avoided wrestlers when choosing his opponents - they were talking about giving him a title shot and instead they give him someone who isn't even ranked? As I said in my earlier post, were plenty better options available.

UFC protecting their cash cow ahead of a potential stadium in Ireland during the Summer anyone?

They are all numbered in their own way, this isn't one of the big (usually PPV) shows though. Will be free to air broadcast on Fox
