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.

You should have been here in the lead up to his first UFC fight and when tickets for the Dublin card went on sale, that was great craic, you'd have loved it :pac:

JustTheOne

All the talk in the fight thread is about tickets and accommodation. Very little about the fight.

And a lot more active than this thread.

I have no problem with bandwagoners but Christ try add to the discussion About the actual fight:)

That's the way this forum goes, fight was announced and loads of talk about the fight, then when tickets went on sale it was all ticket talk, give it a week and it'll be back to fight talk

Conor slapping Aldo's back behind the scenes ...

I'd say Conor is a f**king pain in the ass every possible second of this tour for Jose, but my god it's funny!

There is tonnes of material from the tour to discuss, in fairness.

The week when tickets are on sale is probably not the best time to come onto this thread looking purely for fight discussion in fairness

Why is Dana still on about the UK being 'represented' ?, is he genuinely unaware Dublin is not part of the United Kingdom ?

I understand that, but this is a guy who's been to Ireland multiple times. A well travelled man, who's surely aware we use a different currency and must have surely asked himself why that is ?

This is a guy who's had one of the main event fighters in the event he's promoting, correct him on this issue already. It's almost strange for him of all people not to realise the difference.

A lot in the UK think Ireland is part of it, from my experience anyway.

I think Dana is trying to extend to as many markets as possible. If he can say UK and Ireland, it seems like a lame attempt to make UK fans feel more directly involved. Which is smart because they still largely have an empire frame of mind and probably do think he's from the UK.

Think this is a lot of it he is trying to keep the uk fans interested

MartyMcFly84

Its a much much bigger market, it makes sense to include the UK as much as possible.

63.5 Million in the UK to 4.5 million in Ireland.

Look how they market Asian fighters, basically if you look Asian you can fight in China or Japan, doesn't matter what Asian country you or your parents are actually from.

Most "Mexican" fighters in the UFC are American but they push the Mexican angle to keep the 120 million people in Mexico interested too.

Tickets for the event are completely gone. It will be shown live on youtube and later on Setanta if it's any conciliation.

So many from here heading up tomorrow? Looking forward to it.
