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.

Will there even be a fight though? Conor wants belts, so unless they do what happened for Aldo & create an interim one, there's everything to lose & nothing to gain for Conor...

Hes losing out on potentially 15m in earnings not being on the ppv card,he will want a fight.

Mr. Manager

@arielhelwani

Spoke to Cerrone’s mgmt team this morning. They are interested in taking the fight. He’s on the shortlist, for sure.

True, at this point I think it's the history books he's chasing rather than $$$ though...

McGregor beats Diaz anyday of the week. That's the fight that should be booked, for all we know RDA may only be out a month or two.

red_eskimo

Even if a replacement is found the fight would be co-main, with Holm-Tate taking the top spot. Would the UFC let Conor fight in a card where he's not the main event?

TheNap

There will be no interim belt

Cowboy is fighting for no belt,In his dreams would they give him a shot at even an interim after getting steam rolled.

EagererBeaver

Fighting for interim belt a bit of a joke. RDA defended it less than two months ago and Cowboy sparked in a minute. The thought that he could wear it is laughable.

Pudsy33

I think the interim stuff was a joke...

Mr. Manager

Why the fúck would there be an interim belt?

That idea is just as stupid as Conor steamrolling Robbie

Gamebred

Pettis manager says hes game,Id like to see it.

sonofenoch

2 week camp deja vu :cool:

Devastator

LOL at all the people mocking the possibility of an interim belt because RDA only defended it 2 months ago but have been slabbering for the last 2 months that Conor should give up his belt for not defending it straight away

big massive :rolleyes:

There will be a fight. I'm hoping its Nate Diaz. I'm gutted through after spending so much to go

Brain dead Brazilians training so hard so close to a fight

If Cerrone jumps in, massive respect to him. Had a bad loss against RDA, came back and fought only the other day, and is willing to go again in 11 days time.

I'd love for it to be Diaz, however.

Any merit/chance in him getting fined?

The Company is on its knee's as he says,this card is garbage will do no buys without him.

splashthecash

Whoever jumps in (if there still is a fight for Conor) - they will no doubt make the lack of training time an excuse when they are probably beat - my preference would be Diaz first, then Cerrone and finally Pettis. Havent heard anything from Diaz camp though.

Damn, damn, damn...

However bad we are feeling, imagine what Dana and co. are going through - I would say this will definitely hit to PPV figures...

So UFC 200 is prob Conor v RDA - with all that WW talk now put away for the time being.

Interim belt talk is stupid imo

[Deleted User]

this is strange I think, first aldo 2 weeks out now RDA 2 weeks out.
is it a broken foot? strain? twist? etc.

when are they supposed to submit bloods etc, I know nothing of these matters but could this have somethin to do with it?

if a champ failed a test, what happens?? disaster, much easier to fake injury for white etc and rematch it later down the road.

there was a lot of speculation about the size Diff in aldo finally on his fight night when he was sparked out. I always though RDA was like an energiser bunny against pettis.

I'm not trying to sound like a crank but this is all too familiar, especially after aldo "breaking his rib"

how hard are you sparring etc that you break your foot!!

Are there any appalling McGregor soundbites you don't re-hash on this thread?

Will gladly point out that I called out the likelihood/possibility of this happening weeks ago.

Dancor

Diego Sanchez anyone? He already has beef with Conor and is already in camp for the same card. No titles obviously but it can be an easy night's work for Conor.

JJayoo

How would Cowboy handle making weight? He has spent past two months trying to load it on

scudzilla

So frustrated with this i just wanna scream

Since the increased piss testing came in the brazilians have shown they just can't compete, and to make up for it they train so hard right up to the end, resulting in things like this.

Conor shouldn't take any fight, fcuk 'em all, i know he will, but all we'll hear from the Yanks and Sherdog is "xxx Would have won with a full camp"

Conor should really show how powerful he is now and refuse all opponents

Duff

Didn't RDA tweet he was finished camp yesterday? Must spar with moving busses in Brazil..
