Conor McGregor

Where did this guy come from?

MMA is going to be in the limelight in Ireland starting now! What a fight!

I always thought the tuf fighters were over rated and today McGregor made an unbeaten ufc fighter look like a little bitch. I hope the UFC comes back to Ireland and we get Pendred in there!

From the charter;

7) No fighter bashing ( either pro org or local level - it's not cool and shows a small mind ).

This is what happens when a country is used to mediocrity.

Aldo next ?

Fantastic Performance by Conor! Hopefully he will get on the main card next time, might even be able to crack the top 10 soon.

Heres Conor with Dana

Dominant performance + Good look + Irishness means he's sure to get a chance.

Great TKO and he looks comfortable as hell.

I really hope MMA in Ireland takes off on the back of Conor and good luck to him.

Great performance from a great athlete... did us proud!

just after getting over all the excitement and hype from yesterday. It was bloody brilliant wasnt it.

anyway, just wondering lads, what are Conors' credentials in boxing? They mentioned a national amateur boxing champion, but he certainly didnt win a seniors medal thats for sure, did he win an intermediates or juniors title by any chance?

Richy06 · 07-04-2013 11:45am

Dunno if he won any titles, but he grew up boxing before he got started grappling and doing MMA.

ufc pro · 07-04-2013 12:26pm

excellent performance, he will turn some heads after that, anyone know if he got his 60 g's he asked dana for at the end?

As far as i Know he never won any titles in Boxing, but he definitely came into MMA with enough Boxing that he was very confident standing up

PS, he got KO of the night, Delighted for him

I boxed with Conor in Crumlin and I'm pretty sure he won a schoolboys title. He has as much class as any senior champion in Ireland , Philip Sutcliffe would tell you that.
He was very difficult fighter to spar and he could show up most people in Crumlin at the time which says a lot.

Clearly you know nothing whatsoever about Irish sport.

He looks like he could've stood there and talked for hours.

From welfare to custom suits

" While it's already being praised as one of the most impressive UFC debuts in recent memory, Conor McGregor's UFC on FUEL TV 9 win didn't just boost his notoriety in the sport: It's also going to get him off welfare. "

laoch na mona · 07-04-2013 5:26pm

any one else want to see mcgregor v the korean zombie or v holloway

Be like Nutella · 07-04-2013 5:44pm

yeah would like that alright but they're both matched up for end of May and July... so maybe after Boston!

Pride Fighter · 07-04-2013 6:09pm

Delighted for him. The kids in the Crumlin-Drimnagh-Walkinstown area will have a sports star to look up to.

Exactly what I was thinking, gonna send EA a message on facebook!

Beaming for Conor, it's mad reading US forums and the amount of people comparing him to Anderson Silva is excellent. A fight against the Korean Zombie would be great for him next. Whats the chance of him being the main event of the Boston card?

Brilliant post fight interview and Dana clearly liking him. The worst thing is having to wait a few months for his next fight!

No chance on him being a main event, and rightfully so, let him have a couple more fights first.
