Nice little interview. "Only undisputed champ champ" (not sure what he meant by that, DC have him a nice shout out about how special being champ champ was, unless he is fully team Jones and sees him as the real champ? "very happy for Jose" "deal almost done, believes it will be this year, in Vegas"

I love how he congratulates Aldo in one sentence and disregards Cormier in the next, he never goes full Mr. nice guy

I better start saving for the extra required for tickets if Conor is on the card. Anyone not using fight club code, i'll get you a tshirt in fight club shop in vegas.

Should have a spare code, and have enough crappy UFC t-shirts! Really wanted to go to this but it's one of the few weekends in the year I can't get off with work.

Can't be giving props to anyone in AKA when a fight with Khabib is looming.

He also says his name wrong most of the time, which has to be deliberate.

Honestly can't wait for the fight to be announced so we can have the hype and hysteria that I miss so much from McGregor fights and getting this thread back on track. On a side note, I'm in Vegas the following weekend which is a huge kick to the stones.

Whelo79 · 01-08-2018 4:45pm

Good to see Conor out doing a bit of running. Hopefully he has realised that is what his cardio was missing.

Does this put to rest the "he can't run/do high impact training with his knee" argument? His cardio needs serious attention

Don't bother getting excited. 6 out of every 7 posts will be hogwash and the decent ones will all be variants of:

Conor needs to take Khabib out early or Khabib will ragdoll him.

Conor needs improved cardio.

Khabib got clipped that one time by Michael Johnson who made him do the "Chicken Dance" (Which is not true in the least, but it won't stop the lads from wheeling out this doozy).

That's pretty much it!

Khabib will maul™ Conor if he gets him to the ground.
If Khabib can't get him to the ground and Conor keeps it standing then he'll knock him out halfway through round 2.
If it goes past that then Conor will gas, guaranteed, as Conor can't do any running to build up his cardio.

Yeah, I'd say until that little run around NYC he hadn't any idea of how to improve his cardio, or that it was lacking.

I don't know who thought him to run but someone needs to have a word with him, almost as bad as his rowing technique.

JJayoo · 01-08-2018 6:20pm

In regards to the run, was he actually running in the city or was he close to a park? Or was it more of a publicity thing knowing some reporters were outside.

I'm assuming he was close to a park as running in a busy city like that would be an absolute pain in the hole.

Looks like he was coming out of his hotel and onto Columbus Circle in Manhattan. There's an entrance to Central Park there as well so presume that's where he went.

Ultimate Seduction · 01-08-2018 6:55pm

He was running away from all the journalists and fans I'd say.

I'm amazed he doesn't just pop on to boards to find out how to fix his cardio problem rather than spend thousands on coaches and technology.

He's literally across the road from Central Park.
Probably more likely to be publicity seeing as he's got those big Beats headphones on his head.

Yet he's still an elite athlete at the top of his game.

Sorry, it can be hard to tell in here but that was a mess. I'm sure he runs just fine but I'm sure there are running experts who could give him some tips.

They're called coaches. And he has lots of them. They are part of the reason he's as good as he is.

Zero-Cool · 01-08-2018 9:04pm

Haha wow still not coming across, I mean that no matter what he does, there's always someone to say he's doing it wrong.

Increasingly seems like Oct 6th is D-day. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the next 9 or so weeks run-in. All the nonsense and all. Some classic foils and goons involved. Ali Abdelaziz and his antics. Jaysus. It'll all be entertainment leading up to the biggest UFC fight ever. A classic styles match-up. Great stuff.

If it is Oct 9th I hope it flies in. I can’t stand all the school yard nonsense in build up. Same in boxing. I’m gonna batter you, no I’m gonna batter you. For weeks before the fight.

Foreshadowing... throws that left from hell only for it to be eaten and get manhandled.

hewhoscares · 01-08-2018 11:43pm

Im excited just at the suggestions of an actual announcement.

In two minds about if having two pressers is the way to go - having all the other fighters on the same stage as McGregor just a bit silly, as all the viewers and questions are for Conor - but then more exposure for the other fighters and can get moments like red panty and the Jeremy Stephens 'WDFITG'

A great and intriging fight. Just hope there's no rust on McGregor as really want both these guys going in there at 100% so neither of their fanboys come with the excuses.

Same as any MMA fight really, but it will be who will impose their superior skills over the other.

Pintman Paddy Losty · 02-08-2018 12:05am

Connor looked very unfit in that NYC running video. Is there any way he can get back to a decent shape by October???
