Official Conor McGregor thread (part 2). Read warning in 1st post

El Guapo!

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 2.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.
Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function. Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

Pettis is medically suspended and wouldn't be cleared to fight, it was a toss up between Cerrone and Diaz both wouldn't be making 155 either way.

Cerrone would have had a good shot at making weight, a catch weight would have certainly been doable like was offered to Nate, Diaz was clearly the one they wanted, Dana said it, McGregor said it, Diaz said it, even squeezed more money out of them and got the weight limit eased if Conor is to be believed Frankie also said it.

Diaz is certainly the smarter choice from the UFC/McGregor POV, its no shame to say that.

Diaz will last longer than the choker cowboy anyways its not even a question Diaz was the fight to make,same way he had nobody to smash up but Siver,

Fair enough if true, Cerrone vs Diaz is a no brainer though if you're looking for a better challenger, even though Nate beat him. Also think Cowboy could've made 160 or 165 at the very least.

To be fair its a lose lose situation for the ufc and mcgregor fighting either of the other lads its a step down from the belt, cant blame em taking the safer option after all mcgregor didnt have to take any fight

McGregor will always take the fight and I respect that, but the UFC had the chance to put in 2 guys who would've made it a better fight, but instead they went for a guy who's out of shape and not as capable. They'll say it's for the fans but we all know why they picked Nate.

He's got a point though. Not that I think Conor rejected the Cerrone or Pettis fights, but the Diaz fight is tailor made to keep the hype train rolling. He's out of shape, out of camp and not as good as Cerrone or Pettis. Dana knows exactly what he's doing.

I'll be shocked if it wasn't Abdelaziz that actually tweeted that or at least typed it out for RDA.

will it not be a 5 rounder as man event ?

it will be but I mean to get a decision he needs 3 rounds to conors 2 at least,lack of camp will put a stop to that for definite.

I'd say he meant 3 of the 5, which is enough to win the fight.

didnt ken florian get to 135 at one stage or was it only that 145'er against jose??? ha ha ha I think his head alone must be in the 155 division on it's own now!

Over 300k live streaming it,other streams included there was probably 4 or 500k watching a press conference that is crazy.

I think if mcgregors been training for a tough RDA and gets a lazy diaz it will be an easy night. that said who the f*ck knows really look how tall diaz was to him and the reach, we never ever know.

i only said earlier that conor was a giant in the land of jockeys!!! it's lilliput for em down at 145, maybe that's why he always said he'd clear out that division 1st, he was right really.

if only nate had the brains to even attempt to take conor down it would at least be interesting

I think Nate had the best one liners:

Yeah but it took him about 40 minutes of thinking to come up with it :pac:

Yeah an in shape Diaz is a decent fight still think Conor wins,Someone with Conors hands ya cant go in beaten and think he will cruise to a decision over you,

RDA played it safe and took him down smashed him from the guard Conor wont,Diaz has a lot of pride so he will go out on his shield no doubt.

I have the feeling he will fold easily and say fcuk it I got paid, his effort against RDA was dismal. I think the fight will be easy to call when we see Nates condition on the scales, if he is 'skinny fat' he will get wrecked.

Basically this. I wouldn't imagine he will be anything other than skinny fat unfortunately, he's performance against Johnson was because of a very tough and hard camp.

Jesus, he could retire after that.No wonder they all want to fight him.

Didn't Nate say 'We still gotta fight' after Conor said 'How does it feel to be a millionaire?'

I reckon you're right, under a million for a loss and over a million for a win. If Mendes got 500k and that was July last year, Nate might be getting more.
