    Really enjoyed that. I remember that i seen him fight at the first Fight before Christmas. Needless to say he won by TKO in the first round. John Kavanagh with some pretty inspiring words too.

    I remember that fight, was very impressive, Steve Bailey was one of the best lightweights in the country at the time!

    McGregor won't take him lightly, needs to respect this guys stocky power but with good lateral movement and changing directions and switchin stances and fakes and all that crazy ninja sh1t McGregor does - he can/will beat him. After hearin him Brimage talk about the 'sweet spot' I hope McGregor shin kicks him - boom! and I jump all over me livin room.. why is the calender movin so slow somebody speed it up there...

    ive classed myself as a fairly clued up MMA fan since the the UFC first came over to these shores. (UFC 38). I even then saved up and went over to Vegas for the first Ortiz and Liddell fight.

    i had attended them mickey mouse "bushido" shows (remember the one where BJ Penn attended???) both in the point and the boxing stadium.

    But for some unforseen reason Conor Mcgregor has escaped my wandering eye until just Friday. I truly never heard if him :eek:. I had a certain snobbery regarding the cagewarriors events that where held here. "full of scummers" i thought, "stacked with washed up crap fighters" i said. But because of out right douchery, a genuine irish prospect slipped under my radar.

    after reading about Conor, ive gone on a youtubeathon of everything "Conor Mcgregor". I dont know about you lads, but he doesnt come across as a scumbag or gurrier to me. Ok, a tough ****er, he has a proper Dublin brogue. But why should that equate to being a gurrier?

    i found him in interviews nothing but inspiring actually. He seems to have a fairly good view of whats going on, he's no mug, and i wouldnt take his working class accent as a sign of a lack of intelligence. in fact, i find it quite insulting that people would think that

    i cant wait for his UFC debut now, it'll be a steak and beers in my house hold come April 6th

    Well since you missed out on seeing Conor at local shows, I'd highly recommend you go along to local shows from now on. They're not full of "scummers" as you say. You'll be guaranteed to have a great night and you'll get to see some more of the fantastic talent and home-grown prospects at these shows.
    You won't be disappointed.

    too true Guapo.

    im living in Tallaght myself, and have seen posters around the place for different events that where in the basketball arena. Ill be honest. I hated the advertising campaign and style of these posters, it always seemed geared towards attracting, as i said, scummer. A real "two men enter, one man leaves" kind of scenario. I dont like seeing MMA marketed that way, as the sport is a lot more refined than that imo

    As a matter of interest, where exactly is Conor from in Dublin?

    I'm guessing that refers to the esteem with which people from either area hold the other!

    Why would I not know where it is. I'm from Dublin. ???

    Ah, you think because I'm in australia that I must be australian. :rolleyes:
    Well I'm lucky, I have this magic book called a passport and it lets me visit other countries. Don't worry though, you can get you one when you grow up.

    There was a small piece on McGregor in tonight's Herald, not in the sports pages but it's still a good piece.

    Fighter bashing is not allowed, he's admitted he was no saint growing up, but all indications are that he's turned his life around so he's entitled to a second chance.

    Well that's an absolute load of bull **** , know him since he's 15 and he never bullied any1 in his life. He wouldnt let any1 be bullied either.
    He actually gave a speech in a local youth club for fighting against bullying a few weeks ago.
    Obviously this guy is a jealous hater...
    And a ****ing Loser
