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 dont think its a given at all, if the fight happens it could easily happen in a stadium in Brazil.

Id say they would have an easier time selling out a stadium in Dublin than in Brazil for various reasons, one of the main ones imo is how easily accessible for cheap Dublin is. Flights from most European cities would be around 1/4 of the price of a flight to Brazil from the US, You can also get a flight cheaper from the US at a rough glance but obviously until theres a date i cant compare it as accurately as id like to.

I could be completely wrong though.

i think its fairly common knowledge that they've both agreed to a fight in Croke park some time in the early summer.

sure didnt Aisling Daly say something similar in a post fight interview last week.

It doesnt take a genius to work it out. Conor tweets "crytic" messages regarding croke park. Then Aldo admits he's agreed to it. Frankie Edgar has a moan (possibly rightly so) that e thinks Conor gets the next shot. And then of course Aisling Daly dropped the biggest hint last week.

Lets just hope Conor doesnt lose against the german midget steroid head. Becaus a stadium fight with Aldo will be one of the biggest sporting events this country has ever seen.

Agree with this, think it's a given that the fight happens as long as McGregor beats Siver.

Aldo has agreed to fight conor in Ireland 'if the money is right' he said in a q&a today. Might be all talk but now he has said it on public record, you never know, it might actually happen.

Whoever edited that video would want to ease off on the Red Bull and Aderrall cocktails. Brutal teaser

Have to agree, terrible teaser with the speed of it. There is a youtube function that you are able to play it at various slower speeds but unfortunately with no sound. Whoever made that made a mess of it.

Says here its airing on Fox Sports 1 January 8th. That is HUGE for him. He is going to become a superstar if he can keep winning!

That is one that aired here last year I believe.

Have to agree on this, that was very hard on the eyes and not enjoyable at all.

Maybe next time go more Michael Bay on it and have Conor's punches exploding on peoples faces and Megan Fox in slow motion. Just a thought.

Actually I have rewatched the video and I now 100% agree with Florian's opinion that Conor deserves to be in a top 5 list

Mate that's pretty much exactly what I said. I have been saying that you CANT possibly decide who is the best based on stats. You should re read my posts before you call me thick.

It is the other poster Jay who is saying Florians list is a statistic. Not me.

I'm facepalming so hard right now.

Right that's all lovely, but do you still maintain that Florian based his selections on a stat as opposed to opinion??

Obviously it was Florian's opinion,the clue was in him saying it was his top 5 list. But when you make a list, such as the one he made, you can refer to the list as a stat if you want as it contains data ie ordinal data.

So Florian's list then becomes a stat even though it is based solely on his opinion. So for example if all the current UFC fighters gave their top 5 you could then analyses those statistics (stats) using a program such as SPSS and find out the top 5 guys based on the opinion of all the fighters.

I think this is your 3rd post referring to my use of the word stat

And by the way, Florian has been extremely impressed with Conor from day one and thinks he can dethrone Aldo (as far back as Brimage he has been praising him).

Nope I just gave my opinion that I thought it was a joke, one sentence. Mellor disagreed and explained why he though Conor could get on the list and made some good points, which is what a forum is for.

Well yeah because in fairness you were kind of taking it a bit seriously for what is plainly two guys opinions. Put forward in a fun space filling segment. Purely their opinions. Boxing or any other skill is impossible to quantify as a statistic when everybody has different opinions on what makes a boxer great.

I totally disagree with pretty much every selection on both guys lists but I'm not going to get worked up over it. It was just for fun.

PS: I know what ordinal data is but the reason I said that it was not an example of same was because I doubt Kenny Florian put very much time or consideration into it.

Ordinal Data is just when you rank something such as a top 5 list, so in the list number 1 is better than number 2 etc, number 2 is better than number 3 etc, however you wouldn't say that number 2 in the list is twice as good as number 4.

I just mentioned it because a few posters seemed to have an issue with the fact that I used the word "stat" in regards to the top 5 that was listed.

At no stage did Florian present anything even resembling ordinal data.

Any group of variables when ranked as ordinal data can be called a stat, so ya maybe think before you write, and maybe contribute to a point instead of trying to nit pick on the wording.

Youtube, btw, automates that copyright system with a program called Content ID... its freakin' scary as it analyses the video and compares it with a vast vast collection of music and automatically directs your ad revenue to the copyright holder (pending appeal, which almost never works ).
To broadcast a piece one time to a stadium costs a bit, but nothing like the cost of recording it onto something like a DVD or an internet player like Fightpass. Depending on the popularity of the song you are talking anywhere from 3K to 500K for a single song. Most likely around 25k.

Multiplied by 20 fighters a night... not going to happen

Even live broadcasting the walkin's would cost but considerably less (because its not "on demand"). Hence (partly) why not many get the full walk in treatment IMHO.

Very interesting. Thanks.
