At least Gamebred could have a rational argument. You know nothing about me so wise up with your accusations. I don't like anybody holding up divisions and thats unfounded. I do mind Aldo vs McGregor being for interim title actually if you'd bother reading my posts.

You’re the type of poster who uses terms like ‘disgusted’ to talk about a rematch, a fight that people were nearly universally excited for when the first fight was announced and was one of the biggest fights ever. It’s the exact type of talk the forum gets whenever something to do with Conor comes up. I doubt Conor is complaining as being talked about just lines his wallet but I find it incredibly hypocritical when the same posters aren’t ‘disgusted’ when other fighters are in similar situations (your post above is a prime example, ‘I don’t like...’). Look, we all know this isn’t the first choice of most ‘hardcore’ fans but calm down with the hyperbole. It’s a solid rematch that few would complain about if it was a year or so down the line. It’s not some carnival freakshow fight and it’s not like he’s massively holding up the division when you compare it to the previous champion’s activity (especially given how unhealthy the top contenders have been). It isn’t ideal for a lot of fans but it’s hardly something to be ‘disgusted’ about.

Mellor wrote: » Someone on Reddit has wrote a transcript of Conor's corner during 196. All comments are John, except where noted as "Owen:", etc Looks like John/Owen identified at the time, exactly what people were saying afterwards. Loading up on the left too much, not enough leg kicks. That looks like pretty solid work from John. Also, Ido isn't saying boo. His presence there is irrelevant, exactly as was said at the time. Yet people will still complain about him "cornering" Conor.

Depp wrote: » I wouldnt think that now I'd just say the two of them are very good friends, conor was balls deep in movement and all before ido came on the scene and when two lads are so passionate about a common interest like that theres bound to be some rapport thatll come about!
Deadst4r wrote: » I'm sure they are friends judging from all the footage we've seen but it's business at the end of the day. If he was just a friend, he would probably be sitting with McGregors family in the crowd. He doesn't seem to contribute when in the corner and I can't see any other reason for him being there, other than to get himself more promotion. He sells all those videos or whatever online, I'm sure McGregor has made him a ton of money. Then again, Artem is in his corner and he doesn't say much. But Artem has been there from the start and actually fights.
Gamebred wrote: » He's tagging along in the corner nothing more to it IMO he's there for Conors fight week stuff so Conor probably repays him by letting him be part of the fight night dont see the harm personally.
Lukker- wrote: » Conor pays for him to come out and puts him up too. I just think it's honestly because they are mates. Nate ripping Ido would just make Conor even more eager to have him in his corner I reckon.
