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.

Why would you have him at #3 then?

If Mighty Mouse was bigger and maintained his technicality & ability to mix up his standing & ground game, he'd be a scary, scary man to deal with.

not the best source:

McGregor must get his left wrist X-rayed and cleared by a doctor or he will be sitting out until June 12, 2016

Probably just standard precautions with the media overhyping it.

Jon Jones' last 3 fights were decisions, MM has 2 finishes in his last 3 fights so your argument about not being able to finish his dinner has no basis.

P4P listings are subjective, they don't really mean anything, this discussion could go around in circles forever, the 3 great fighters all the same.

Yeah crazy to have a guy who's had 7 title defences, is on a 9 fight win streak and has never been beaten at the weight class number 1. :rolleyes:

In terms of pure domination, the women need to have there own list imo

You've the same guys in the top three, just in a different order, hardly miles away from each other.

P4P is a fairly bizarre ridiculous concept anyway. There's absolutely no way to objectively compare people indifferent weight classes. It's not like weightlifting where a defined number can be compared. So it's all for pointless really.
If Deleterious Johnson was scaled up to 205 lbs, he probably be 6'3". :eek:

Agree about the women too, how can we possibly rank the two comparatively.

Lukker-

Delighted for Mighty Mouse, doesn't always get the recognition he deserves and he's earning a pittance compared to other champions but never complains about it. He's the deserved P4P champ too, maybe Jones takes it back when he returns and beats Cormier but Mighty Mouse has more title defenses then all the other current champs combined.

Agreed he will be on the 200 card.

Kavanagh said today that McGregor wants to fight in early-mid spring. Now I don't doubt Conor does want to fight mid spring the only concern I have is the UFC not wanting to potential risk or lose their big star before 200.

From their point of view:
Imagine if he gets injured
Imagine if he loses to Edgar
Imagine if he goes up to LW and loses.

Any of this before UFC 200 would be terrible for UFC and McGregor.
Now I don't think he'd lose and I'm sure he wants to fight I just can't see UFC letting him

I think he'll fight at least once more before UFC 200 at least.

The UFC don't particularly care about protecting there stars, just using them as money spinners while they can. Look at Ronda, that's not someone who was managed well.

If those 3 go ahead at UFC 200, who headlines the ppv's in may, june, and august ? 1 massive event would not equal 3 very big events in terms of ppv buys

I can see Conor and Holly defending at 200. I'd also be surprised with Jones v Cormier at 200. Maybe Joanna or Mighty Mouse?

I know your being sarcastic, but I hope conor doesn't do anything like movies for years still.

No one or thing can survive over saturation.

Kavanagh said he sees him fighting in March or April and then in July. So he'd easily get 3 fights in next year.

Not sure the timing of UFC 200 suits Conor if he wants to fight 3 times this year. If you're fighting 3 times a year you might want it to be in April, August and December so you have plenty of time in between to allow for medical suspensions and recovery. It'll be January or February before he even thinks of another fight and by then it'll be too tight to squeeze a fight in between UFC 200. Conor would fight it but there's not a chance the UFC would let him. I imagine he'll go July 16, November 16, March 17, August 17, December 17. That's five fights in a year and a half and 6 in two years which is very active to be fair.

Now he could fight between now and UFC 200 but I just think the timing doesn't suit it too much. But with UFC 197 the earliest opportunity I think they'll leave it and that being in Brazil it's unlikely he'll fight there. So it would be 198 at the earliest which is too close to 200 imo.

If I'm Frankie I'm on the phone demanding to fight Conor before he fights RDA/Cowboy. Frankie was promised next shot and the worry on his part is Conor gets beat up by a bigger guy at 155 and the hype dies a little and Frankie loses money on a fight that doesn't have as much public interest.

Best case RDA ragdolls Cowboy, then beats Tony Ferguson or someone in March/April, Conor beats Frankie and then they set up a "super fight" against RDA at UFC 200.

just watched it again, after hearing conor talk about timing a shot As a novice here it looked to me that after aldo went for the kill his head was committed to traveling at speed towards conor's incoming left!

I think Cowboy would be an easier, and I use that term very lightly, fight than RDA. Cowboy will keep it on the feet.

i reckon cowboy would be alot easier style wise for mcgregor cause he would stand with him, diaz showed he can be rattled with mind games, imo he should have beat diaz!

I dont think cowboy has what it takes to beat RDA tho.
