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.

Its a few days out before a McGregor fight. This is the norm and there is always going to be an influx of interest, the return of the people on the bandwagon, the return of those looking to put down McGregor and an increase in the ratio of garbage to normal posts! Its all part of the experience. :pac:

In fact I would go as to say this is even mild compared to whats been posted before other fights

Less than 24 hours since the other thread shut & this thread has about 20 pages(of sh*te lol) and its still 9 days to the fight :eek: I'm not even attempting to read through it and think its about time not to bother with the McGregor thread

See y'all in here in about 3 weeks when things calm down

Haha cheers man. Suppose I took your reply to me too seriously didn't really see the banter to it at the time :P Apologies

To be fair rda's injury could be a stupid injury. If he was throwing 100% kicks out this close to the fight. But thats only something his camp knows. But its not up to me judge others training techniques.

I sprained my foot badly in light sparing before a fight. Foot got caught between someones neck and shoulder. Twat decided to kick my other leg from under me.

Took about 12 weeks to be able to kick on it at 100%.

**** happens.

Diaz to pocket an easy million and to **** off to bellator.

I know that but he normal still comes across confident

He is like that quite a lot. I thought he came across pretty well and chilled out. Certainly played his part in a hugely entertaining presser.

Gamebred

People get offended too easily by **** going on in mma (its a sports entertainment business) im guilty of it myself,couldnt care what McGregor talks about or anyone else Diaz saying everyone is on steroids ect couldnt care less their only trying to get viewers by **** talking,when you meet 99% of fighters they are very cool and down to earth.

I like his mental strength, his confidence, his work ethic - and I don't mind the banter ... but why bring that he has loads of money every few mins into it ?
smacks of immaturity and insecurity - which is really paradoxical with this guy.

Plus I think it's the first time I've heard him say he has respect for his opponent before the fight, he seems to like the Diaz's.

For sure he does, I think it was after the Holloway fight when he was being interviewed after and he asked what were some of the positives of coming to the US were and what he was looking forward to doing there in the future. One of the first things he said was he would like to train with the Diaz brothers.

Nick and Nate are the only other true flim flam boxers in the UFC and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Conor's goading style while fighting is a bit inspired from the likes of Nick.

I think Conor enjoyed the press conference more cos he knew Diaz could handle the **** talk and give a bit back. Looked like he was having great craic.

and who in their right mind would turn down a big pay-day in his position. anyway i thought he handled the presser pretty well. he may not be the most eloquent of speakers, but he seemed wise to McGregors tactics and didn't seem fazed by it. he was impressive in his last fight against Michael Johnson, so as long as he's kept himself in shape, we could be set for a pretty decent fight

dave1982

Haha just seen video of Nick saying if nate didn't take fight he would have @170lb.

Was only thinking last night be mad if it was nate v Conor and gunnar v Nick

Probably why it doesn't matter is because everyone knows on fight night he's gonna come and have a go,and will go down fighting if he goes down.

Lone Ranger? Back foot? Come down off yourself there. You seem to have some feeling of superiority over me for some reason. No need to be a dick about it.

Anyway, the post you quoted was 100% about the injury and he mentioned the hangers on in reference to the injury. Which you said was correct in many ways. But yeah I do agree with you in regards to some of the fans being like that but the post was about RDA pulling out and the injury not about fans being uninformed.

It reads superior if you've an inferior mind, otherwise it's half banter half point making. I didn't mean to be a dick and I read your above post as borderline lets agree we were both wrong so on we go.

I hope Nate pockets a stupidly big pay cheque for this.

I wonder is there a danger of Werdum/Fedor situation, Conor knocks Nate and jumps into finish him but gets caught.

2 Things i wasnt particurlaly impressed with from that presser:

1. Mcgregor saying RDA had only bruised his foot. Quite clearly broken no need to say anymore about it.

2. After a reporters question about psychological warfare, Conor insists its all him, he only speaks the truth, that there is no mind games etc.

Yet time after time when he says something way below the belt eg Siver Nazi, he insists he was only playing around. Which is it Conor make up your mind ffs.

He clearly is playing games, its obvious for everyone to see. Why not just admit it. Lets face it if he really had the personality of being a dick , a lot of people would certainly think a lot less of him, Bringing an opponents kids into conversation just to score points against an opponent in a presser is scummy imo, as is referring to Siver as a Nazi etc. What im really trying to say is either be one or the other, not switch when it suits ya.

You obviously don't get it,if he admits its all just mind games then it ceases to become any use for getting under peoples skin.

I know and i agree, thats why i dont like the way he keeps insisting its all him and there is no mind games, no thrash talk.

if you let your guard down in a fight, you'll get stung. same goes for how he goes about the build-up to fights and the press conferences and smack-talk and all of it. i have no problem with it. i just think he's very clever, and very competitive with his words as he is with his fists

Maybe by saying there is no mind games and thrash talk he is actually playing mind games and thrash talking
