UFC 196: McGregor vs DiazREAD POST #1 BEFORE POSTING

Peregrine

OK, the fight tonight is a big sporting event so we've decided to allow a thread on it after receiving some requests. The same as we do for the Euros, WC, Rugby WC, etc. Please read the mod note below.

Mod note:

1) Usual After Hours charter still applies

2) No allegations against fighters, particularly regarding steroid usage, etc

3) No illegal streams or requests for streams

4) No talking about Conor's accent. It's boring and has been done to death

5) No fighter bashing. Opinions welcome, bashing not

6) No eye gouging, fish-hooking or small joint manipulation. Groin shots are frowned upon

Thanks to Nicolas Cage for drawing them up.

Info on the fight here. Live on BT Sport 2 in Ireland.

Look it up yourself if you want.

Charity work and donations, spending time with terminally ill children.
Never leaves a fan with an unsigned autograph regardless of how long it takes.

Ehh, quite the contrary!

His act to sell ppv's isn't what he's really like and is working perfectly.
He's making people tune in and is making hugemoney for the UFC like no one else can at the moment.

Yeah what a disgrace conor is. Being 100% dedicated and passionate about martial arts. Constantly thanking his fans and taking pictures. Telling people to try and do what they love for a living. He's an absolute sham

And this is why we cant have anything nice!

That's hardly doing anything for Ireland. More his public image.

To be fair conor has no control over the amount of unsigned autographs in the Universe.

Yes, but not with class and manners. I do, however, admire what he is doing and achieved.

Ok lads, this whole racism angle isn't helping the thread, so lets stick to the fight itself please!

I won't be able to watch it live, but I am really looking forward to seeing the replay. Best of luck to Conor, it's fantastic to have another Irishman at the top of yet another sport. Jaysus, we're great.

I wish ta fawk there was a knack fighting wwf/ufo/acting forum.

I have a feeling Conor will loose but I had the same feeling this time before the Aldo fight so that means he will win and quickly!

Lights On

You looking for the MMA section? Though I'm not sure they'd like you over there

Still think the weight change could be an issue.

I'd be hugely shocked and disappointed if Conor loses tonight, imo this is just an exhibition bout against a guy who for someone of Conor's striking skill will just be a human punching bag. Nate's a good fighter but this is a bad matchup for him

Wouldn't say there would be many of them.

They're all over at the fight in LA

LOL. (But it's Las Vegas m'dear not Los Angeles, but whatevah).

Better be careful now, I could be banned for racism against my fellow entitled citizens or something. So I will shut up before the mods chase me.

Conor's two losses were submissions early in his career when he transitioned from a boxer.

Robin Black does an excellent job of charting his transformation.

McGregor first round stoppage.

As I was with his other fights I am hoping he gets knocked the f*ck out. People can talk about it all being an act and selling the fight but the guy comes across as an absolute scumbag imo, his little attempt to cheap shot Diaz (who I would dislike for the same reasons) shows him for what he is. I don't think he loses though, looking at some of the comments from the other possible opponents for tonight, Diaz seemed to be hand picked for a handy fight heading into UFC 200 and a big title match.
