Conor McGregor thread (MMA Talk Only - Read 1st Post Before Posting)

Floyd did not " carry" Connor


It was a real fight that Floyd won as expected but he didn't take it easy on Connor or stretch the fight out , it was a real fight for the time it lasted,


Yes Floyd is levels above Connor but he took no chances and fought that fight in the same fashion as he has against multiply world champions ,


Start reserved and cautious see what the other man has , then work out the way that give him the highest % of winning , Zero moments left to chance,

I agree with this 100%. It definitely was not a fix. Floyd without a doubt is level heads ahead in Boxing ability. He didn't give anything to Conor, and used his skill, experience and ring craft to pull away after the first few rounds.

And still made a damn meal out of beating a complete novice.....

Floyd is risk averse. Always has been. It's part of his success.

Looking forward to the rematch and the build-up. Make it four rounds.

I'm pretty sure I would win if it was MMA rules, Flyod is a tiny tiny man.

Flu for mayweather , swelled foot for khabib , chest infection for mendes , poor lad can’t catch a break

And now no one really cares about the championship fight coming up with Khabib.

Speak for yourself,I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Khabib outboxed mcgregor never mind Floyd.

On the feet? No he didn't, not even close.

But most of the fight took place on the ground. I assume your trolling.
Or belong in the same crew that thought Aldo was a fraud. :rolleyes:

It's not going to have the same attention as Khabib v McGregor. But that's the casual factor. Among actual fans, people who regularly watch MMA, I'd imagine there's huge interest.

Would you even call Floyd's exhibition a fight?

Probably because it was an official fight.

On the feet he did outbox mcgregor. Watch the fight again.

If you are actually serious, then I'd suggest watching it again yourself. I've watched the fight plenty of times. Guessing your basing your assessment on that one big overhand. The fight was more than one punch.

(before somebody gets upset, I'll preface this by saying Khabib clearly won the fight. And the ground fighting element was much more significant that the standing element :rolleyes: )


Significant Strikes


On the feet, Conor lands 45 significant strikes. Khabib landed 25. Stats don't they the whole picture, but at almost double the strikes, Conor clearly edges the striking.
The majority of that was in round 3, the only round that Conor won. The only where Khabib didn't secure the early takedown.

Khabib didn't land any standing strikes in round 1.
Rounds 2 and 4 had very little stand up action.
Both landed only 4-6 strikes in each.

Sports fans are fickle and have short memories.

Still, Ireland's most lucratively successful boxer ever. A record likely to be never broken. Well done, Conor. Conor bless.

Ah sure I'd say Daniel Day Lewis earned more. Sure he probably had a few "real fights" in filming as well :rolleyes:

They are also biased like you.
Give it up mate, mctapper is done as a top level fighter. He would be mauled twice as viciously if he fought Khabib again. He couldn’t knock out a seventy year old man fgs

Lol. Point out one thing in my post that is bias? They are simply the stats from the fight.

You hardly expect anyone to take you seriously given the level of "discussion" you bring to the forum. At least the other lads catch a few people with their trolling.

Conor is not even close to the most lucrative boxer from Ireland.
Michael Flatley is worth about twice what Conor is.

That's the fight to make.

Who would win? Katie Taylor or McGregor in a boxing match? My money would be that Katie would flatten him

Like ricky gervais character derek who would win between aids and rabies?

He will fight Diaz again at some stage and make 10 million for the actual fight, and have a 6 month build to the fight where his whiskey/other sponsorship items will be advertised non stop.

Happy days for the MCG

Thread has gone full retard again I see.

Normally only happens around fight week.

It’s khabib fight week next week maybe that’s why.
Who would have thought a few years ago that khabib would become more popular than Conor. I think Conor completely misjudged who he was taking on when he started all the derogatory Twitter wars with khabibs crew. Surprised nobody in his team were not able to reign him in a bit.

if Poirier wins would the UFC book him to defend vs McGregor? Don't think Dustin would turn down the chance at revenge and a massive payday.

From a purely financial point of view it would be the best matchup but not even gimp Dana could bluff up an excuse to justify giving MCG a title shot
