    So if a team that you didn't like was playing your team you wouldn't discuss the opposition or even watch the game?

    Is Connor McGregor the Denis O'Brien of MMA or something? Do we need to impose a gag order on any negative posts relating to him?

    Gamebred you fanboyism is bordering on fanbuming at this stage and it is sad to see such a respected and wise pillar of the MMA forum reaching such depths.

    Gamebred you fanboyism is bordering on fanbuming at this stage and it is sad to see such a respected, wise and golden boy poster of the MMA forum reaching such depths. I am disappointed in you. I think I speak for the entire forum when I say; we are all disappointed in you.

    Don't assume you speak for all of us.

    Imo this is his biggest test as it's his biggest opponent with the added reach advantage, I hope conor wins but I doubt it's going to be Easy

    See ye's have all gone quiet now. Wanted all this and all that at the start, pushing it off onto me now or your homies to get out of the lime light!! Classic signs that your trembling in your boots. So when do you wanna meet up

    :D

    This is what I think most people who express dislike on this forum refer, not McGregor himself.

    I can't stand the arseholes who come on threads to call people like Nate Diaz a pussy. He may be many things but a pussy is most certainly not one of them. Anyone who makes their living from any sort of combat sport can't be accused of being a pussy ffs.

    Now, despite not having said a word about the man himself, I'll probably get accused of being a McGregor "hater", or maybe the slightly more intellectual (not difficult on this forum) might come up with something about "Irish begrudgery".

    May I ask, who are you?

    Apart from someone who states the obvious.

    I was born hard, no need for McGregor or a toilet like you pussies. I bench press toilets.

    .

    the diaz brothers are anything but to be fair which most of us know anyway
    nate has fought the very best and only been put away once
    again it goes without saying many of these posters had never even heard of nate diaz this time last month


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 236 ✭✭thisonetaken


    Has Nate got a broken jaw? He seems to talk out of one side of his mouth

    I've doubted Conor before.
    There's no arguing with what he did to Aldo and Mendes and all the others.
    But Diaz is a totally different prospect here.
    He can box, he has reach and he knows how to use it.
    He's got a chin, he's been TKO'd once is it? And Conor is going to come up from 145 and knock him out ?? Doubt it.
    Conor is gonna take a lot of punches in this fight,
    IMO if Conor doesn't finish it early he is in for long night and will probably be knocked out himself if it gets passed the first 2 rounds.

    But it's gonna be interesting to see what the bulking up and no weight cut does for Conor.
    That's the Unknown for me.
    Don't know what that will do for him.

    I think it's gonna be his toughest fight yet tho and I can't wait to watch it.

    Not a hope of Diaz knocking him out imo, Only hope is keeping it at range for decision or on the ground.

    I for one have no issue with people posting their opinions of Conor. But my opinion is that I just don't grasp why someone would want him to fail. It comes across as though people are jealous of him walking the walk, and a bit of good auld irish begrudgery.

    if I could buy the mods here a pint I would


    might be an idea to open a rest of card thread actually

    Statistically Irish begrudgery of McGregor comes from outside Dublin....probable statistical fact :P

    To be fair, it's quite a 'complex' issue.

    Hardened Man, don't ever bring jealously into my opinions again. I am a very successful man. My self and other successful people have felt jealously our entire existence. And still very much feel it. I understand the feeling of begrudgery. It is a feeling deep in my blood.

    Hi WarZ, I'm sorry - I know I quoted your post but wasn't specifically aiming my criticism at you. I was trying to make a general comment on the negative posts about Conor.

    Stay jealous, stay hungry, it is a fuel.

    I dunno, Conor always takes a lot of unnecessary shots and thats against guys smaller than him, but he knew he could handle the punches and it was worth the risk knowing he would knock them out.
    He doesn't have that liberty in this fight.

    He's gonna have to take a lot more risk in this fight to get his shots off.
    I can just see him getting caught while he's trying to land something.

    Anyway hope he proves me wrong.

    Aldo is 5 times the fighter Diaz is or ever will be,he has one option and its via submission,in my humble opinion if he somehow gets it into a grappling match very early.
