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.

Watched it again there, at 3mins.50 seconds Dustin throws two punches which miss, Conor's movement to avoid them is absolutely incredible.. Such a pleasure to watch

Think he got tagged as he was pulling away from Dustin's straight left. That was when he chipped his tooth :P It pribably wasn't too hard as he was pulling away from it at the time but he still got tapped :P

But I agree. That fight was beautiful. Conor is putting fools to sleep in mins. It's amazing to see.

Interesting to see Rousey and Jones react to him. Also Rousey is pretty easy on the eye

It's not american twang. Us irish talk awful fast sometimes, dja know what i mean. Conor slows his speech down so he's easily understood, he probably does it naturally in front of the camera now

Mellor

I think he's just forcing a clear pronounuation of every syllable. Gives it a funny twang if you are used to hearin theboyos from Ballygobackwards blubbering away.

Saipanne

Ah now, he does put on a little bit of an American accent when in the us. I'd say a 10% setting kicks in.

But slowing his speech makes sense.

Come on! He says "my man" all the time like he's greeting his homies from Compton. Not the biggest deal in the world but denying it is a bit strange.

Can't wait for the Siver Fight!

You have to change how you speak overseas or people won't know what your talking about. A thick dublin accent would need subtitles in the US. Fortunately Conor has the cop on to talk the way he needs to, to be understood.

I don't see why everybody is looking past siver. He probably won't win but He's no slouch

And this!

I have a comparatively mild accent and people in the UK frequently can't understand what I'm saying! He's just annunciating more clearly. How anyone thinks he has an American "twang" is beyond me.

So whats your point? All he does is big up Ireland and talk about his heritage in his interviews. What more can the lad do.

We're not looking past him. We're looking through him. ;-)

Hey lads, wondering if any of you could help me out as I am trying to get this drawing I did of him signed. It's not a high hoped request that it'll happen but if I never try I'll never know..or something like that! I've tried tweeting him but with the amount of followers he has theres not a chance he will see it, does anyone in here know him or know someone that could get a tweet out that he would see?

(I'm expecting to be told to feck off..but thanks in advance!

)

Axwell

Would put it on his facebook over his twitter to be honest, it will get more likes and attention there im sure. Not that it would mean hes more likely to respond to it but worth a shot and its a good drawing so why not show it off anyways.
