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.

AFAIK he trained boxing/kickboxing from his early teens and shifted his focus to boxing shortly after.

I think he started training MMA around 17/18 and he made his pro debut at 19.

Wow a late starter in comparison to most fighters.

Not particularly.

Most fighters in the UFC would be the same, the difference being they might have done wrestling in highschool or trained BJJ from a young age giving them excellent foundation in grappling.

Conor's foundation is his striking, which he's been training from a young age. Different skillsets.

Cheers for the information.

I decided to do something a little different for a promo for UFC 194. Have a look if you have a minute to spare.

Should have put in the part when McGregor tells Aldo he loves him at that press conference.

I did, it was one of the first things I thought of. However it didn't work, his tone of voice and the pacing wasn't right. I removed it and decided to be a little less obvious with that bit. I felt the bit I used worked better for it overall.

Standman

Ah ok. It's a good vid anyway.

Just listening to a bit of teh conference call and McGregor said "when I KO Aldo I will then go on to fight the winner of the lightweight championship fight"

Conor mentioned in the scrum he was talking about himself Gunnar and Artem and said all three of them would be ready on Dec. 11 and Dec. 12. Was that a slip of the tongue, don't think Artem has been confirmed for TUF Finale obviously since it hasn't been aired yet?

It's always a given that the best from the TUF house always compete on the finale card, regardless of the results. All it means is he's on the card, could be in the finale itself or it could be just a prelim.

It was always a given that he'll was fighting on the finale, doesn't mean it's the actual TUF final.
There are 5 fights still to be added to the finale. I'd hazard a guess that its the 9 round one winners plus Thanh Le as the most impressive loser.

Can someone please clear this up for me. Arguing with my mate about this;

He's insistent that Conor tapped out in his fight against Duffy.

I'm insisting that he didn't physically tap out as ref saw he was unconscious (or unable to defend himself) so stepped in and stopped the fight.

The announcement at end of the fight was that Duffy won by tap out but did Conor actually tap out?

ardinn

I think he did - I watched it a while ago and im 99% sure he tapped - youtube it!

Watched it over and over again and it's unclear to me. Thought I read or heard that he was unconscious so ref stopped it. And commentator says that Conor didn't know much about the stoppage inferring that he was unconscious.

Looks like there's a bit of taping motion there to me anyway

ardinn

Clearly Tapped his knee!!

PIMPHO

Still not convinced!

I think the commentator was inferring that Conor didn't know as much about ground fighting (although the commentator sounded oblivious tbh). The commentator also said "he tapped him"

He clearly tapped on Duffy's left knee at the 2.33 mark. He was up within seconds, be wasn't unconscious.

He tapped sorry mate just put it behind you!

Lukker-

He tapped, I remember in an interview before he said tapping was his biggest regret in his career and if it ever happened again he'd prefer to break an arm or get knocked unconscious.

Pure stupid breaking a limb just so your not tapping tbh. Its actually ridiculous, if he has you he has you.

I agree with limbs, but if it meant winning a considerable amount of money you might hang in there a little longer.

Same for chokes, going out is really not that bad at all. Just looks worse than what it actually is.
