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.

Tickets will be starting around $50 and go up to $215 or so for cageside.
Fightclub is usually a 6 tickets limit. If you are getting a few, or want to get close to the action its worth it.
There will still be tickets availible in general release, but the FC tickets would be better
A fight club ticket will be better than a general release ticket in the same section as it'll be closer to the front of the section.

Yeah you are right, I had it in my head that he moved to Boston as a kid and took up Wrestling/MMA.

I'm well aware of that he'll be popular. I just don't think it will sell out so quick so as to make it difficult to get tickets.

American events don't tend to sell out as fast as overseas events. The very first event in Boston was Edgar Penn 2.
Frankie's from boston, and had just won the belt. It was a big event, UFC expo along side it. And it was slow to sell.
Maybe there was other factors at the time. But I wouldn't under estimate the laziness of of Americans.

15-20% of the crowd will be from ireland imo (I mean actually from ireland, not including the irish-americans)

Due to it being Boston a largely Irish community, I think it might sell out quick

Yeah I think it will sellout fairly fast especially with Conor headlining. Ticket prices are decent as well

The card wont sell out instantly imo.
It will be easy to get tickets.

Prob should of rephrased that. I mean like being at the ready to buy tickets when they go on sale. I would estimate they would be available a few days anyway.

A lot might sell to fight club members and pre sale so a lot of the tickets might gone, plus cards in Boston and Conor headlining.Tickets go sale the 20th.

hope you get some:)

ItsAnEasyGame

Assume this is the thread to ask Boston related questions?
Many heading over? Anyone found any decent deals. Assume tickets will be easy to come by once they are on sale?

Mean Laqueefa

Sounded like he had real trouble dealing with the loss, feel for the guy he seems ok. Still young tho he will bounce back

EuskalHerria

Poirier is a laugh and a half :pac:

CurryFlavoured

He sounds like a big fan. He also said that he'd like to train with him and will even come to Ireland to do so.

Dustin Poirier will be on later, should be interesting.

Rory MacDonald on Conor McGregor: “He’s on the cutting edge”

Two of the most exciting up and coming stars in mixed martial arts today, Conor McGregor and Rory MacDonald, have struck up quite the mutual admiration. The Canadian welterweight number one contender is currently waiting in the wings for the title fight between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler to produce his next opponent while McGregor will fight Dennis Siver in January with Jose Aldo a possible summer opponent.

“He’s on the cutting edge of some stuff I think.” MacDonald said about McGregor on today’s edition of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.

“His movement, his striking It’s got my attention for sure, I want to emulate some of it.”

“He’s doing the right thing to get noticed quick but I think he would have done it anyway with his skill-set. I’m more a fan of his skills. The way he talks is the way he talks but I’m more a fan of his work”
