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.

Couldn't convince anyone to go to vegas for the 11th so I ended up not going. Now i'd nearly consider going alone to the Aldo McGregor fight like a loser :P I just hope I'd be able to find people to have the craic with.

I travelled by myself for it and had better craic than if I had gone with a group. Was able to do what I wanted when I wanted. Everyting I attended , Expo, Dropkicks gig, weigh in, Fight and after party I met a bunch of people I was able to chat with and have the craic with.

That included Irish fans, US fans, locals from Vegas, fighters I got to chat to and Arnie!

How does the p4p rankings work ?

A colection of journalists from around the world pick their top fighters in each division and also pick their P4P lists.
The official rankings are simply an aggregation of those lists.

It's all highly subjective, as P4P isn't really a tangible concept. Plus people are are affect too much by recent fight cards.

Its always a bit of a mess alright but I'm figuring since its not taken that seriously the UFC won't hesitate to promote Conor in anyway they can.

The UFC have any say in the lists as far as I'm aware.

Here's what Aldo did say on Rock Bola:

We will run through him no matter when the fight happens, but his time will come. When it does, you can be sure we will smash him.

I’m still recovering, should be back to training in two weeks. I’ll do more exams. As soon as the doctor clears me, I’ll be back to training.

Based on a collection of mma journalists rankings I think. So a lot of its their opinion.

RIP Journalism.

No time to fact check. Just get it up online and watch the clicks roll in. Really poor form.

From what I can see the story originated from a post on Reddit

super_furry

They both carried fairly hysterical stories based on those fake Aldo quotes.

Shows balls.ie and entertainment.ie up as the tabloid amateurs that they are. How could any half decent website run with something like that without even the most basic of fact checking?

Conor has entered the p4p rankings at number 14.
That pushes Johnny Hendricks out of the list and moves Edgar down to 15th.

Gunni up to 11 too.

I am not going to only beat McGregor up: I am going to make an example out of him. I am going to beat up this son of a bitch so bad that he won't be able to open his mouth to say his **** for over a month. I am going to break the jaw of this pussy son of a bitch in three parts. The queer fans of that pussy and the UFC will regret putting that ****tard with me in the octagon because I am going to put an end to his rise. I've never felt this powerful in my life. Before breaking my rib I was knocking out light-heavyweights with body shots. I can't spar yet, but I am still punching and kicking with the same power. I won't even bother dodging McGregor's little punches and his ballerina kicks: I am going to walk straight towards him and take away his manhood. Take his pride. Humiliate him. Swell up those balls-sucking lips of his. Good luck knocking me out: Cigano couldn't do it in full-contact boxing. But the most delightful thing of all will be when I see the look on the faces of his racist Irish fans. Look at their faces after I have turned their national hero into a ******.

Oh my days Aldo is seriously seriously pissed.

I don't believe the Brazilians have a word for ****tard, so it's probably fake............ :pac:

Davei141

I wish people would call out those Brazilian fans who act like tossers so i have no issue with Aldo calling out some of the behaviour of Irish fans acting like tossers.

One of the fans called him a baboon, maybe that's it

I blame the fella shouting "tiocadh ar la' at Aldo at the Dublin press conference for Aldo's anger. He's a fierce loyalist is jose Aldo

Re Corno/Cuckhold - from reddit:

"Corno" is a man that got cheated by his wife, it's equivalent to calling someone a "pussy".

Cuckold? Does that mean he basically called his gf a slut? Lol

It just means that McGregor has come along and taken what is his, the (interim) FW title, much like a Cuckoo does when it steals another Cuckoo's nest.
