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'm not so sure. Conor isn't gonna be on a fight night card again so it will be numbered events or fox cards for him from now on. If that's the case then the same obstacles to having the Aldo fight in Ireland will still be there next year. Unless they can somehow negotiate an extension to the 11pm curfew here.

Conor will never fight outdoors in ireland after 10.30pm

Are Croke Park and the Aviva the only realistic options?

Anyone looking at accomodation, AirBnB seems to have a few places, close to the MGM, that are reasonable. For something like this If order my own space rather than a hotel so it could be an option.

Here's one example, nice space and close to the MGM:

I don't think it'll be that long, IF he we're to win the title then I expect his first or second title defense to be in Dublin, most likely Croker.

Most likely early to middle of next year, April - July.

Last nights Q and A was unbelievable, Conor has everything to become a superstar in MMA and beyond. The charisma and wit is second to none.

Cheapest flights to LA from Dublin are with Ethiopian Airlines!! :eek::eek:

Plenty of leg room too on those flights.

I'm going to hell.

Don't think it'll make a big difference to be honest.

You'll not save much and will end up paying as much to connect, plus a pain in the arse with the extra travel.

I could have saved maybe 50 quid on the flight but would have spent an extra 10 hours each way travelling and waiting in airports.

MagicIRL

You could look at flying in to a different state and using a train or something. I really don't know how viable that is though.

hefferboi

So lads, what would be the best way to get to the fight in July do ye reckon? flights seem very expensive. Would there be any way of getting a long flight with a few stop overs for cheap?

Halfway through the Q&A and Conor is coming across so well. He also looks very strong and healthy at his current weight. I really don't think he'll be small for 155. He looks very thick and strong for his walk around weight.

He's also being much more reserved in this. He's very enjoyable to listen to. Brilliant to listen to.

EDIT: Just heard the 10 pints and doner kebab comment. How can anyone not like this guy? Absolute gent.

I think the questions posed were far better this time. You still got the odd few ridiculous questions, but for the most part they were quite good IMO. Obviously easier with an English-speaking crowd and no need for the translator.

El Guapo!

I see Conor won International Fighter of the Year at the mma awards too.
I don't think there was any other contender tbh.
Well done to him.
