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.

probably gunna get abuse for this but eff it, anyone know where the best place to buy a McGregor fight jersey?

One of these?

Lukker-

These "I told you so's" get so tiring. I think the vast majority of people who backed Aldo are happy that they are wrong but the place almost becomes uninhabitable after he wins, it was the same against Mendes. Calling people out doesn't add anything to the conversation (quite the opposite) so can we just continue to discuss things that are relevant?

Mystic Mc calls the rounds. If you were that mystic you probably wouldnt have bet on a McGregor 3rd round finish and went with a first round KO. So not so mystic after all it seems and more like coming back gloating because McGregor won. Do you do this kind of thing everytime you get something right cos its a bit sad and adds nothing to the discussion of the event or the fighters.

The black version is the champions kit, I'm not sure if they continue making the white stuff after they win the belt :pac:

yeah i know that but im fairly sure they were selling white Weidman and Rousey kits from the launch anyway so Id assume theyll still be available, not the biggest fan of the lack of green on the champion kit

How many pages of I told you so's would there have been if the shoe was on the other foot and Conor was knocked out? it'd of been relentless,I predicted him to be an easy destruction and just another piece of Conors Highlight reel (on here) but im starting to feel sorry for Aldo going out like that,from sleeping on mats to 10 years unbeaten hes a martial arts legend.

So what next for Conor?

I think a fight against Edgar would be best and then a move up to LW, the he will have fought and hopefully have beaten every challenger in the division. I have no interest in a Aldo rematch, I doubt Dana has either after this taking 12 months.

The outcome of the rematch would likely be the same.

Said in the post-interview that he wants to retain this belt while moving up to 155 because he's one of the most active fighters.

I'm not in ireland at the minute. Somebody check the 9 o clock news and see if Conor makes top headline. Absolute Shame if he doesn't

Conor and Edgar's knockout blows would probably have dropped a moose, just turned the lights out.

Aldo looked lost after the fight. If he doesn't retire who could you see him being possibly matched with for his next fight?

Love to see edgar vs conor next but if he decides to move up a division then fair enough.

Was thinking perhaps max holloway could get a shot at aldo with the roll hes on although i feel he be fighting mendes next

Gamebred

Does anyone think frankie beats Conor? He surprised me beating Mendes that easy but I'd expect Frankie to try lay and pray to avoid the left hand,Conor showed he only needs one oppurtunity to land it and its game over dont give Edgar much hope of troubling Conor.

Wow someone lost there aldo bet! hahaha sour much! i dont ever gloat but i do love sticking it to the smug know it alls on here similar to urself!

shrewdness

I see there are odds up already for potential fights against Frankie and an Aldo rematch. Conor is 4/9 to beat Frankie and 8/15 to beat Aldo again.

No one knows yet what will happen but I have a feeling when it comes down to it, he'll defend against Frankie next. If he does and wins that, it would be an incredible win streak, and he'll have pretty much wiped out the division as he predicted. Imagine he beat Mendes, Aldo and Frankie all inside 12 months, when up until very recently many people thought he wouldn't be able to hang with the elite of the division.

El Guapo!

Mod:
OK I've given you more leeway than most other mods would but you're taking the piss now.
Nobody wants to hear it anymore and it's crossed the line into the "Don't be a dick" territory.
Give it a rest.

I have always maintained, Frankie is the toughest fight at 155 for Conor.

Frankie's not an easy guy to KO & he fights hard for all 5 rounds. Those attributes & Conors weight cut make this a fascinating bout. The latter rounds could be very dangerous for McGregor.

Great fight and I really hope the UFC make it.

I do. I know there are a lot of 'new fans' around, however, picking out every typo does nothing for the debate.

Yeah I know they showed the full fight in the broadcast and the fans reaction in Vegas but not in the headlines I think that's what I was referring to in the earlier post.
Because I didn't see the 6 o'clock news I couldn't comment on it and my main point was about the 9 o clock coverage

.

Anyway back to the main thing.

What's next for McGregor, stay at 145 even though Kavanagh has said he won't fight again at that weight or will he move up and fight for Lightweight title or a No1 contender fight first.

Aldo bet? I didn't bet on Aldo, where are you pulling that out of? Are you going to make stuff up now as well?? Kindly quit making false accusations if you are going to post on here.

So anyone on the forum who knows more about MMA than you is a smug know it all now, yet you are the one calling yourself mystic Evo because you predicted Conor McGregor would win the fight (even though you predicted the 3rd round and bet on it). Do you have the lotto numbers for Wednesday so when you are at it? The more you post the more you come across an ass, its you who is coming off the worst here not the people you are gloating about getting the result of the fight right with.

They didnt know close to what i know about mma, thus why they were ranting how aldo was gonna win... please... My prediction was 100% accurate your clutching at straws with ur whole round thing id rip the rest of ur post apart but the mods are dying to ban me so ill leave it at that.

Savage Tyrant

To the guys in the know about cuts.... Is that cut on Conor's eyebrow going to be a problem going forward or can these things heal up "good as new"?
Am I right in thinking that it's down to keeping the scar profile as small and as fine as possible?
