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.

Big Nog (240lbs) vs Bob Sapp (350lbs). Big Nog won but he had a lot of trouble with Sapp.

Big Nog is a heavyweight champ/legend and weighs 70/80lbs more than McGregor and The Mountain weighs 70-80lbs more than a 'supplemented' Bob Sapp.

This only goes one way for me. He just needs to grab a hold of McGregor and it gets bad pretty quickly.

Big Nog weighed under 230 in his Pride days. McGregor is easily 170-175 at the moment. So more like 50 pound difference, not 70 - 80.

And Cro Cop ****ed Sapp up. (And Prime Cro Cop was 215ish) Also, Sapp actually had some technique. Why are you assuming Thr Mountain has any? Obviously if he does it becomes a lot more dangerous.

But this conversation is silly and I'm going to stop now.

In a kickboxing match right?

Anyone that says Mcgregor would beat the mountain in a serious fight clearly has never fought anyone bigger than themselves... the mountain as unskilled as he is would maul mcgregor using sheer brute force, there is a point where skill can negate size and strenght but not when theres 120kgs in the difference its the equivalent of a grow man vs a child regardless of the childs skill it simply wouldnt have the power.

plus in a real fight mcgregor could just peg it, which i assume he would

All Conor would have to do is move move move, strike strike strike, The Mountain would very soon tire out, if The Mountain connected though, anywhere really, it'd be game over

That is the key to victory. A points win. Or late stoppage via The Mopuntain gassing. Very difficult thing to do I would imagine. One error from Conor that sees the mountain land a shot, or get a hold of him would likely result in death!:p

All the mountain would have to do is not move, knowing he would tire out, wait for mcgregor to get close then grab him and maul him, smash him off the ground, break his neck ect, the power difference is huge

Maybe.

Wouldn't happen vs a muddleweight though.

Yeah id imagine middleweight, light heavy, would all have the mix of skill and power to beat someone that size

I also know from training myself that a fit and decent (good purple belt level) 75kg guy can DEMOLISH a 100-110kg beginner (no technique, gases almost instantaneously etc).

Size matters but skill makes up for an awful lot of that vs a skilless opponent.

Absolutely, 100-120kg unskilled will be manhandled by a 75kg purple belt. They just lack grappling fundamentals. Even a good blue would have little trouble.
But the biggest game changer for grappling is rolling with strikes. If the beginner is allowed to strike the skill gap closes in my experience.

I wouldn't fancy trying to berimbolo the mountain with strikes in play :rolleyes:

TBH, it's still a discussion of fighting which means is more relevant than 90% of the rest of the thread

What? When was this? Did he bring in the Mountain to emulate Aldo in some way?

If he could beat Sir Gregor Clegane that easily can you imagine what he will do with Aldo?

A punch to the liver would sort him out, in my professional opinion.

Totes, bigger liver, bigger target. Poor guy has no idea what's coming if he ever fought a blue belt on da streetz.

MrStuffins

Look lads, there's no contest! One of them doesn't even have super powers! he's just a rich billionaire who knows a little fighting. Does he have lasers in his eyes? No! Is he faster than a speeding bullet? No!

However, if there was Kryptonite involved that's another story. Maybe he could wear gloves laced with Kryptonite.

Or, more importantly, he could reveal some dark secrets about him, like a weird sexual thing, and beat him in the most important arena of all.... the court of public opinion!

Am I doing it right?

Depp

Most importantly who wins, Captain America or Batman, but captain America takes the fight on two weeks notice?

Would Superman beat McGregor if the fight was in the Red Light District?

Mcgregor by decision, superman has a good chin but he'd gas in the third

Tinie

Look its all well and good saying McGregor can beat Chuck Norris and Superman, but can he do it on a cold, rainy, tuesday night in stoke?
