Sorry, but that article is absolute shite in my opinion.

Delighted to see Conor get publicity, but that writer spent most of that piece waffling on about how he'd be great at something he never tried and boring the arse off me.

What the f*ck was that all about?

Conor is now tweeting at White and Fertitta looking to get on UFC 159 as a short-notice replacement for Joe Proctor at 155 lbs. What a fighter!

Mcgregor campaigning on Twitter to replace injured Joe Proctor against Al Iaquinta at UFC 159.

Fair to play to him. Not doubting he could beat Iaquinta at 155lbs but its very soon!

Doubt the UFC will go for it.

Be like Nutella

Al Iaquinta - good cardio stand up
lost his first UFC fight so he'd be well motivated..... wouldn't be an easy opponent
but fair balls.... I'd say cool the jets chillout after your win and then train for August but if they say yes It'll still be deadly : ) what a card to get on and with his hype white-hot right now?... not like he suffered anything in the last fight... he's good to go ! feck it do it : )

I know Conor said he wouldn't mind a fight at 155. But I'd really prefer to see him stay at 145 for a while. Even with an edge at 155, it's bigger at 145. Plus 155 is stacked and 145 is perfectly set up for a rise to the top.

Be like Nutella

yeah fair enough he's not big at 155 and he's good value at 145 but he can take this guy and he's fresh off a good camp with no injuries and the net is going nuts about him so..... life is short !

On paper it's a foolish move, probably.... but.... my head isn't thinkin straight since an Irish fighter just battered some lad in the UFC the other night and took home the bonus : )

If I was his manager (and luckily for him I'm not) I'd say

'fuk it...let's do it!'

With the momentum he has inside and outside the cage at the moment, I don't see the harm in him stepping up and if he was successful, both the UFC and the fans will go bananas.

He will probably get on the card with it being New Jersey and New York is a stones throw away.

Be like Nutella

like loooney bananas.... on the Jones Sonnen card??? awwww it'd be so deadly.....but that's my UFC balls speakin and not my brain : )

Awesomeness

I doubt the UFC will go for it. They know they could have a star and wont want to risk him losing.

I also highly doubt we will see him at 155 for a bit. I know he wants to but Dana is gonna want to keep him at 145

T-K-O

I would imagine the UFC would prefer him on the Boston card. Also Dana doesn't seem to allow fighters to jump from one weight to another. You move up you stay up.

anyone readin his twitter today? what the hell is going on? some a$$hole messin with his head.... not a clever idea!

This is the type of thing Conor will have to learn how to ignore,
The more know he becomes the more people he'll get hating on him,
He is better off not replying to this sort of thing, Its this sort of stuff that the media who already have a problem with MMA will pick up on, Every famous sports star has people abusing them on twitter , he'll have to learn to deal with it and not take the bate ,

I fail to see what he has done wrong here.

Be like Nutella

whether it's right or wrong or professional or not to us I'd still say he's havin the craic with it all, he's not carrying the weight of 'MMA' on his back he's just bein himself I'd say.... and more power to him, I'm sick of 'managed' sportsmen - take him or leave him as he is.

jaysus I hope not it would contradict one of the central tenets of the internet..

It's a bit much,is he going to go around his house and give him a hammering or something?

It just does'nt look great or the having a laugh bit does'nt come across.He would be better to just ignore a fool like that,I'd say the same about any sportsman.

He hasn't gone around to his house though.

I've just wangled 4 tickets for The Late Late show tomorrow night, myself and The Wench will be going, joined by mrstuffins, i have dean (el guapo) coming back to me in a few hours to see if he can go or not, if not then i have 1 spare place. Minimum stipulation is that you have at least 200 posts in the MMA forum at the time i post this.

These are standby tickets, but she said we'd get in for Conor's portion of the show, and each guest will be getting the 'One for everyone in the audience' prize' (Last time we got a night away in a 4 star hotel & spa with 3 course meal and wine)

First come first served (If Dean can't do it)

That may be true but Dana himself is always feeding the trolls on Twitter. I think it's hilarious!

Al Iaquinta, a former runner-up on The Ultimate Fighter, has decided to remove himself from April's UFC 159: Jones Vs. Sonnen card, just a day after Joe Proctor pulled out of their planned fight with an injury. "I have been training through an injury to my leg the past six weeks, re-injuring it again a little more seriously last Saturday," said Iaquinta, in an interview with FightLine Thursday. "I was going to push through it and fight anyway. When I heard Joe pulled out, I decided not to fight at UFC 159 and rehab my injury back to 100-percent before taking another fight."
