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.

Thats because he is a professional and doesnt take to a school boy slagging match like Brandao or Poirier, doesnt mean McGregor is not in his head...

Meh....Jose seemed to enjoy it. I agree with this youtuber comment:

III Smokey III5 hours ago

Whats everybodys problem? Aldo didnt have one? If you all spent more time listening and less time bitching you'd hear him repeatedly say he enjoys the energy. Him and Conor are the same in the sense that they both love a crowd like this, whether its for or against them. Conor put up with insult after insult in Brazil and laughed, just like Aldo does here. So crack a ****ing smile and stop trying to be so righteous

'Kerrazy' drunk Paddies singing and shouting over the MC and translator. Irish sports fans are known for conducting themselves well abroad, this is a complete embarrassment. Leave the trash talk to the fighters, at least McGregor is an accomplished athlete and can back up his insults and mind games in the octagon. Looks like an entire postcode of divs saved up their dole money for the year to fly to Boston thinking they can play comedian and disrespect a world class fighter. And as if other people turned up to the event to listen to their dumb football chants. Again, embarassing that these monkeys are carrying around tricolors.

Is Jose moving up to 155 after McGregor knocks him out?

Just the way it goes unfortunately. Conor got worse in Brazil.

These Q & A's are generally very messy.

Irish fans abroad at football, rugby, Olympics etc, are exactly the same. There's a stark difference between cheering, chanting, banter and abuse and voilence.
The high horse attitude is tiresome.

Disagree. Irish fans generally don't engage in this type of goading and frankly unsporting intimidatory behaviour, particularly abroad. If Irish fans carried on like this at a similar press event at an Olympics or World Cup I'd be on for taking those plonkers passports away. The girl doing MC was barely able to do her job with the crap. I appreciate McGregor is a different type of Irish athlete and shows a bit less humility is a bit cocky (and good on him for his confidence and success) - that doesn't give these 'dudebros' a licence to disrespect the people running the event or the athlete people are there to listen to. Conor makes a big noise about being Irish, but if this is the class of fan following him around count me out of the bandwagon. Its an embarrassing having a high profile Irish athlete being followed around by people that would be better off sticking to Dalymount Park or outside the bookies smoking Benson in their Celtic jerseys instead of stinking up Ireland's image abroad.

'Heyur Des, did you see me on de tellie in Americuh dere being smart to dat pure fool Jose Aldo, did you hear wat I sed to him did yeh?'

I don't very much Aldo was intimidated.
Also, it's funny that you talk about being embarrassed by the lack of respect shown by the fans, when your post is full of insults and ridiculous bigotry.
Ok just dont see the need for acting offended on Aldo's behalf, over a bit of carrying on.

Yeah all the Brazilian commenters on the videos all have said they take it with good humour (Sayonara E Serginho Faria Jugzz • 6 hours ago: "It's fun and entertaining. I'm Brazilian seriously wait for this fight and the build up to it."). Unfortunately some classist bigots left over from the celtic tiger have to show their small country syndrome from time to time on these boards and talk about being embarrassed over a bit of fun leaving no one physically harmed.

blah blah blah celtic tops blah blah people from stereotypical poverty-stricken areas blah blah

Right you've got your bigoted classist rant out now. Feel free to leave the bandwagon. I would put money on the fact that Conor would have ZERO time to be around a whinger like yourself anyway.

If Conor has a problem with his fans, he'll say it.

crybaby

Considering the amount of stick Conor got at his Q&A with the Brazilian I can't say I'm surprised that it was given back to Aldo

eta that skanky obnoxious loud Dub that that had Aldo drugs comment was embarassing, hope he's not a fellow boardsie.

I love how Conor upsets so many people especially the Irish high horse brigade.

Oh he's so cocky and arrogant rabble rabble.

People are so precious these days, it's great.

That was all a bit silly.

[Deleted User]

I read on another forum a guy who was saying he was 'part irish' embarrassed at the 'pathetic behaviour' of the fans at this. So I tuned in thinking **** some bad stuff must have gone down.
Then I see this happy atmosphere with fans singing, asking good humoured questions, Jose having a good time on stage, giving witty answers. Was all a good bit of banter and a laugh. Nothing like the open hostility in Brazil. Only George Gurgel got pissed off for a second, but he clearly had a stick up his ass for much of the interview!

Shame on those pathetic Irish fans, singing of all things!! they actually had the nerve to SING!!

MagicIRL

Some people will literally do anything to be offended.

Lighten the **** up. No wonder yous are posting here instead of having the craic in Boston.

dave1982

Haha people complaining bout people in Boston, people on complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people in Boston, ironically saying lighten up and stop complaining

Any amount of fan heckling isn't nearly as bad as the disgusting bigotry and classism in this post.

Who's getting offended now? You know exactly the type of punter I'm on about. I grew up on a working class estate btw.

Anyway best of luck to Conor tonight.

Having the fight on Monday morning just prolongs the knot in my stomach....if it feels like this sitting on the couch I wonder how it feels to be participating...

DrPhilG

Conor is a bit of a dick imo. But I still support him. It's no different than supporting Man United and disliking Rooney. He may be a tit but he bangs in the goals and gives his all.

Conor may be a tosser, but he is the best Irish fighter on the planet and is doing wonders for the sport both sides of the Atlantic.

Would I prefer him to be more like Swanson for example, of course. But I'm not going to root against him just because I dislike his personality.
