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.

Are you really surprised that success at the top of the sport has resulted in more programmes and interviews? That's incredibly normal.
Of course there's more bandwagoners. It's not a big deal really.

What counts as a bandwagon jumpers anyway?
You've never posted on this forum until know, member since 2010. There's loads of casual fans peaking in interest because of McGregor, that's good for the sport imo

And before the UFC he was extremely well known in the MMA community. It was was fans who hammered on at Dana to sign him.
What wrestler has he lost to?

It's a bit strange that your first post on the MMA forum in 4 years, is

WOW!! Stalker alert I didn't know I was being watched ðŸ‘€ðŸ‘€ðŸ‘€ðŸ‘€ since when is it against boards rules that you must post regularly on MMA to have on opinion???

I do have a life since you are going through my page you will have seen I don't post regularly I only come in here when I'm bored with free time

I think it was 08/09 he lost to Joseph duffy by submission don't think I'm far off the date

Stupid fight, aldo wins again

The first fight apart from being a great fight was very very close. Its certainly a possibility they'd wanna put that together again

Born in sillogue and then moved to coolock. Does one have to live in the same area all their life. Cant stay living with mammy all your life pal, so get out there and explore a bit

I think you missed my point a bit.
Born in one area, moved to another when you grew up. Just like Siver moving to Germany when he was 17 - which started this whole thing.

Don't worry about me staying under mammy's wing. Currently 16,000km away. Exploring is going grand so far.

Duffy aint no scrub, but hes not even top 25 in his division

I'd agree with that. He's good, but not top 25, yet.
But there's room in the UFC for him to work his way up, the LW roster must be 30-50 fighters.

Plus he subbed conor in less than a minute

He sub'd him 4 years ago. When Conor was probably a BJJ white belt.
Your post I linked to above was from around the same time. Imagine what you'd have learnt in 4 years close to full time training.

Dunno how you've ranked him but ya to even make it to the UFC would be a success story.

Would love if it panned out, I remember when Cole Miller was interviewed after a fight he was talkin about Conor and playing him down by mentioning his loss to some guy called Joesph Duffy. Be gas if in the future a Miller/Duffy bout materialized :pac::pac:

That would be a good fight on the next dublin card.......if we get an event in the nedt year or 2

So whos next for conor after siver. I say lamas and see him get exposed

Hes going to say Joe Duffy is a wrestler which is incorrect on so many levels. Unreal boxing out of the chap. 7-0 in pro boxing before his return was pretty savy.

Parke maybe, masvidal and johnson have the tdd and striking to win via tko or decision

Agree with this completely, Duffy will do well in the UFC imo. Id assume after his next CW fight he will get approached or maybe sooner if they need a replacement for the Sweden card. Hes a nice guy to, very humble.

Michael Bisping,Bigfoot Silva,Dan Hardy,Martin Kampmann etc. etc. all did relatively well wouldn't you say??

The UFC largely adds fighters to their roster based on their performances in smaller promotions the fighters all come from somewhere its not like the they start out in the UFC.

Someone like Duffy with a 12-1 record would be exactly a fighter who should be on the radar in fact Conor was 12-2 before his first fight in the UFC.

As was the "1 year ban" part. Have a dose of reality.

Stupidest part was using a ethic slur aimed at the Russians when slating Conor for using the word Nazi.

You said here you were from Coolock.
