Relax the cacks. I found it humorous and thought others might too, is all.

Lukker-

Lol it was TMZ sports who got that quote from him, the questions they were asking were actually retarded.

ASOT

Jesus has a serious crucifix Conor wouldn't be in trouble if it went to the ground.

Gamebred

Jesus would destroy him in a rematch 3 days later.

Lukker-

Jesus loves crosses.

Chase3

Jesus loves knockouts

Jesus Wept

Noticed Gunni posted this on facebook.

Himself and Conor have been training with Ido Portal, who is a "movement expert".

He specializes in things like bodyweight exercises and mobility/agility/balance. Conor seems to be fairly influenced by him and uses his lizard entrance thing when entering the ring:

If anything, he has shown that getting stuck in the cruifix is a weakness

Given his background I think Jesus would hammer him. If they keep it standing only a matter of time until he nails him with one.

How do we think Conor would do against Cowboy Cerrone if he comes through the Aldo fight? They seem to be starting a rivalry over the last few weeks. Would 155 be Conors more natural weight? Would he struggle against people the same size as him? Interesting times ahead

I think he loses. Naturally there's no doubt he's not featherweight, otherwise he wouldn't have these deathly cuts. He's a lot bigger than anyone in the 145 division. At 5'9 fighting lads who are 5'6 and 5'7 is very different to fighting people over 6 foot. He's got huge reach for his height but that would be negated if he's fighting lads that much taller. Cowboy is 6'1 right? If he goes against a wrestler that's bigger than him it's game over imo.

Whether or not Conor believes that, I certainly think Zuffa and co. do and will try to keep him there for as long as possible.

I certainly think he would have enough to have him fighting to the top 5 at least, although as the above states, losing his reach advantage in addition to losing it to a talker opponent, and an apponent who is used to fighting at this weight would make it difficult for him. Throw into the mic a ground fighter and that would makes things even. Tougher for him.

He would however still make an impact and a lot of money

It's hard to tell lads. Yes, he'll be fighting men he's own size and bigger, but he also won't have a serve weight cut which could only make him better. It's very hard to predict. I think Conor will move up regardless the outcome tomorrow night. It's going to be interesting anyway if he can fight men he's own size.

CatFromHue

According to wikipedia McGregor is 5'9" and has a 74" reach

Cerrone is 6'1" with a 73" reach and has mentioned before that if he didn't get a title shot he wants to move up a weight class
Dos Anjos is 5'9" with a 70" reach
Pettis is 5' 10" with a 73" reach
Henderson is 5'9" with a 70" reach
Joe Duffy is 5'10" with a 73" reach

Considinering he's fought and won at Lightweight and looking at those numbers above imply he should be ok at the higher weight.
