UFC 229 Nurmagomedov vs McGregor - Sat Oct 6th Warning in first post!

Axwell · 17-09-2018 1:54pm #1

This is the main event thread for UFC 229 - it will remain closed until I decide to open it a few days before the fight.

The main event between Nurmagomedov & McGregor, co main of Ferguson vs Pettis.

All other discussion remains in the McGregor thread - this thread is for discussing the weight ins and the event itself.

**THREAD RULES **

1. It is not for dropping in to give your opinion on Conor McGregor or Khabib Nurmagomedov and why you hate them or want to see them get knocked out. It is not for discussing McGregors personal life, what clothes he is wearing, what he said on instagram or what his father Tony is currently saying on social media. There has been enough of that in the McGregor thread, so if you want to discuss that sort of thing take it there. Basically if you arent discussing the actual event or the weigh ins then take it elsewhere.

2. ANY nonsense in here and expect a card and or a ban. There are no warnings..those have been given in the other thread and this is there is a strict no nonsense policy in this thread. You are all here long enough and aware of how things operate around these events.

Any trolling, goading other posters, back and forth tit for tat, personal abuse, fighter bashing or anything else against the charter and you are banned - plain and simple for a minimum of 3 days.

3. If someone posts something they shouldnt just report it an move on, do not engage and get into nonsense back and forth or you will be banned also.

4. Your only reason to be on this thread is if you are here to enjoy the fight no matter which fighter you want to see win. This is a big event with plenty of interest and people want to sit back and enjoy it, including myself. If you are here to troll, get a reaction or causing hassle then you will be leaving as quickly as you arrive.

I don't care if its your first post or your 1000th you have been warned, if you chose to ignore it you only have yourself to blame.

5. If you receive a ban and decide to send a pm complaining it will not be even looked at till at least Monday after the fight so you have been warned.

6. Do not ask about illegal streams - its that simple, no discussion. It is against boards policy and you will get a ban. That applies to asking about them, posting about them or looking for people to pm them. No discussion on them, end of.

15 to 30 mins...gave himself a nice window there :pac:

I wonder what Dana is saying when he is in Khabib's ear? Khabib does sound fairly pissed off.

Numbers tracking past MayMac? Put down the bottle of Proper 12 Dana...

Axwell · 04-10-2018 11:16pm

Conor missing out on the chance to really get in Khabibs head with a crowd behind him compared to the previous presser...not his greatest move.

Catch 22 because he has him in the height of it getting worked up now. I don't think he liked being there on his own at all.

No one's taking about 165, it's fake news. Dana the gas man.

And missing a chance to pull in another few thousand buys at least. Less money for him, dumb move as you said.

Khabib was in control of what happened there, he was able to get up and walk away - if Conor was there he has nowhere to go and has to sit there getting wound up and have the crowd behind Conor which only fuels Conor more. Khabib is nowhere near as worked up as he would be having to sit through a press conference with Conor imo.

Ah no I get what you mean i just taught khabib seemed alot more gone there than the last time even, seemed very uncomfortable up there.

Do you think Conor cares about a couple of extra 1000 sales at this stage?

Stupid of him to keep up this being late stick. Fighters just aren't going to hang around anymore.

D.Q · 04-10-2018 11:21pm

Conor is an absolute clown.

****e talks about having the fans in the building and can't be arsed showing up.

Of course he cares about a couple of extra thousand sales. Someone who loves money as much as he does will do everything to maximise their income. PPV buys are pretty much all he cares about apart from winning the fight.

Ah man, he's kind of ****ed this. Khabib looked rattled. He could have had a proper go at him.
I get showing up late, but 10 minutes would be enough to show some disrespect

Wonder if Khabib is still in the back like Eddie Alvarez was.

Still Ill · 04-10-2018 11:25pm

Some of the questions these journalists ask are so dumb.

Gotta feel this has backfired on Mcgregor. Surely them appearing together is to his advantage. WP by Khabib.

I dont get all this khabib is rattled, i dont see it all. All i see is him being a step ahead of conor
