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.

Congratulations, you have just become the 1,000,000,000th person to use this meme (entirely out of context by the way if you listen to the entire show on which it first appeared), because you couldn't offer a valid opinion of your own. The internet salutes you.

I believe this quote of Stephen Fry's is the standard accepted riposte:

''That is my religion, and every day I am sorely, grossly, heinously and deeply offended, wounded, mortified and injured by a thousand different blasphemies against it''

Stupid comment.

It was deleted and he apologised. Time to move on.

So talking to the MMA Hour Siver doesnt appreciate Conors trash talking and thinks theres no place for it in MMA, bit rich coming from a man who used performance enhancing drugs to get the better of his fellow professionals.

Im suprised theres not an uproar on here that he called Siver a midget also. There has to be a few million midgets around the world wonder are they upset by the comments!

Apparently the average height of users rose after those comments and fromt he backlash of the midget community.

Conors not getting the next shot according to Dana, take it with a mountain of salt obviously because 24 hours before this he had sad Anderson & Conor would get a shot if they both won.

Are you referring to that childish comment he made afterwards?

Mr. CooL ICE

Bermudez losing at the weekend was the best possible result for Conor getting a title shot IMO.

Makes no difference, Edgar will prob beat Swanson.

Hopefully, love frankie. If he wins id say hed be fighting Lamas next for a shot at the title after Conor.

In a sense, everything that comes out of his mouth is childish. People can get their knickers in a twist or take it on face value.

i would have cub slight favourite against Frankie..Looking back wasnt Frankie very small for a LW champ?

Iv a feeling Conor didn't even realise how much of an offensive thing it was to say ,

And yeah, I dont think he realizes half the things he says until afterward

MartyMcFly84

Ok I think we all agree it wasn't the best thing to say.

Shall we move on? Is Dana now back tracking on a title shot if/when Conor beats Siver?

Its frustrating as a fan I can only imagine if you were a fighter.

I think that's directly related to Conor's comments to be honest. The UFC can't have a champion (if he wins) going around making those sort of xenophobic slurs.

If Cub beats Frankie he def deserves the next title shot but I cant see him beating Frankie. I dont think Dana ever said Conor would be next in line.

I think the exact worlds were if Conor wins the next fight, he COULD get the next shot. Not that he would.
Ditto for Silva's shot at 185.

I think the obvious solution from the UFC part is to remain non committal and hep the matchs sort out the division.

glass half full

Conor will most definitely get the next title shot with a victory..... No doubt whatsoever!

As one of the greatest wordsmiths of our time so famously said;

"It's all about the MONEY MONEY MONEY!" Jessie J

CurryFlavoured

Once Frankie beats Cub and Conor beats Siver I'll be very confident that he'll get the next TS, if Cub wins it's not a sure thing though.

Foxtrol

It's actually getting pretty messy at this stage. Dana seems to be going back and forward on who gets the title shot when it suits him and now the promo that aired multiple during TUF last night in the US for Edgar vs Cub had Rogan clearly say the winner this weekend will get a title shot.

In the end they'll do whatever suits them but it would be great if they'd stop promoting two fights within a month of each other as if they're both good for a title shot!

ps3man

There are so many fights between the Edgar/ Swanson fight and the McGregor/Siver fight that people will forget about the winner of this weekends fight id say. The UFC want a McGregor title fight, its gonna be a huge payday for them.

Why don't people think Frankie will get the next shot?

because he fought Aldo pretty recently

CurryFlavoured

Edgar, Mendes and Lamas have fought him too recently. It's between Cub and Conor as of now, so if Cub loses it's pretty much Conor's shot.

Exactly, and I can see it pan out that way too.
