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.

Also subbed Parke, he would beat a good few fighters out of the top 20, Masvidal, Parke again & Johnson id be fairly confident of him beating.

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

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

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.

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

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:

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.

jimpump wrote: »

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.

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

The Conor who lost to Duffy is not even in the same league as the Conor we know today

Stalking? ah don't flatter yourself. You click the username and it comes up.
Where did I say you have to be a regular for an opinion to count. In fact, I said new fans are good for the sport.

I just funny that you were ranting about people jumping on the bandwagon. Yet it looked like you were badwagoning yourself.

Joe Duffy isn't really a wrestler.

El Guapo!

Well that escalated quickly.

Jumpump is banned for trolling, fighter bashing, and anything else you can think of.
Everyone else, keep it as civil as possible and on topic.
Cheers lads.

I have to say ever since conor joined the ufc hardly anyone in ireland knew about him, now that he's in the ufc all the band wagon jumpers are a joke, if ireland are so proud of him why weren't there tv programmes radio interviews about him before? I would put my life on it that if conor loses his winning steak all the band wagon jumpers would jump off and wait for the next wagon to jump on

Damn straight. This week I'm big into Irish rugby. Next week, who knows? I've no time for losers.

yipeeeee

He was already successful before the ufc on a winning streak, he can't fight against wrestlers and last time he did he lost, tom Egan.got in the the ufc where was his irish fans then oh yeah I forgot not good enough for his own to stand behide him as I said when conor loses all the fans all the band wagon jumpers will be gone.and.move on to the next popular fighter

So what?? Jesus Christ.

If people are taking an interest in mma and ufc because of conor what's the problem??

Interest has to start from somewhere. Its a positive thing he is doing, and he has the majority of the nation behind him apart from a few begrudgers and high gorse brigade.keep up the good work conor.

Conor just gave twitter a panic attack. He uploaded a pic posing at Croke Park.

Conor told us in Vegas it was booked already for May. Fair few drinks on him at the time though.

Thing is, it won't be a title shot. Reason is that they'll have to have the event on late at night for the US audience and the council won't allow that.

The wont have to have it late here if they really wanted to, there not held to any time restraints with PPVs like they are with Fox shows. But obviously it would probally do less buys being on early in the US

The fact that they'd sell 80,000 tickets would compensate for the PPV bookings loss aswell.

Yeah depending on the card aswell they may not lose that much PPV as it is, im sure fans wouldnt mind watching the event early on a Saturday morning if it was a fairly stacked card. I dont think it would happen myself but I really hope it does!

Please God don't let it be on the same night as Foo Fighters 30th May!
