Official Conor McGregor Thread (READ MOD WARNING IN OP)

Irishcrx

Fuming...but what can you do that's MMA , people get injured and the fight gets ruined.

Obviously , we all still want to see and fight and the lads that have paid to go out there as well. Conor will want to fight , smart choice would be to refuse but I really don't think he will if someone like Diaz steps in.

Won't be Aldo , and Aldo at 155 I think would be another bloodbath for him , he looked soft against Conor at 145 for me.

This assumption he was doing mad training is silly, this could happen kicking an elbow doing v light moving about, falling on it wrong or in rolling with catching your foot under someone, movement sometimes causes injury, intensity is not a necessity for injury.

Ah c'mere - you can't be coming in here talking sense like that!!!

Porier at 155 anyone...or irish Joe???

Logistically, you'd have to think that it would be mad for someone to take the fight when you consider all the circumstances.

Financially, however..., "Its a whole other ball game".

I'm hoping the pay day McGregor gives will entice Diaz, or similar, out to fight.

Norman Parke looking it too

Perfect time for Norman to cash in his Money In The Bank shot.

Go home Norman your drunk.

Go Tobban

Diaz would 100% fail the drug test and fuck things up further

Not for peds though, he has a well known love for Mary Jane

Norman Parke could you imagine Diaz and Cerrone the only realistic ones I'd think.

Pettis could be interesting also...and Khabib!!:pac:

Can't see Aldo happening.

If McGregor wins it kills the rematch for the FW belt. If Aldo won it would kill McGregor's LW shot.

If a McGregor fight goes ahead (and I think it will), it will be against someone interesting, but not too dangerous.

Nate Diaz ticks all the boxes. He's dangerous on the ground but arrogant enough to stand and trade.

Whosthis

Seen a few tweets that Cowboy has offered to take it.

Gamebred

I think Diaz is the best option hes not a waster who goes and gets fat really between camps he runs marathons for fun him and Nick are known for their cardio training so least he wouldnt gas easily.

fitzparker

Diaz/Cerrone/Alvarez

if all else fails (which won't when the dollar signs appear) then I would say they will do what they did to Hoolahan for the dublin card and bump diego sanchez up to main event. he is preparing at that weight etc so easy transition

dave1982

I reckon fights scrapped till UFC 200. Question is will they risk conor fighting and getting injured and him being out for few months and he misses 200.

$$$$$$ and PPV buys , which will plumet if Conor isn't on the card as it'#s already poor enough...

Myrddin

I don't see what's in it for Conor:

less money to be made (not a title fight)
risk of defeat, which means no subsequent title shot
risk of injury, delayed shot at the title

He mind is bulletproof theres no way hes would even entertain them thoughts in his mind,still guaranteed a fortune for fighting on the card reguardless of who its against.

No doubting that, I suppose not having Conor's undeniable confidence that I'm looking at this from the point of view of a mere mortal

still guaranteed a fortune for fighting on the card reguardless of who its against.

Is it worth the risk though, a title shot at UFC200 would certainly blow the top off all records?

TheTownie

Pettis is available for sure.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 3m3 minutes ago
Just spoke to @malkikawa, @showtimepettis’; manager, and he said they have reached out to the UFC this AM. They want the McGregor fight, too.

Pettis is the biggest fight available so if its all about PPV and $$$ thats the one to go for.

Gamebred

Ko's somebody else in highlight reel fashion surely it makes ufc 200 even bigger then? Getting someone without a camp is help too Pettis Diaz or Cowboy are no bums full camp or not but I dont see any them having much trouble for Conor.

Knex*

I'd probably prefer Pettis over Diaz, too.

Half the craic with Diaz would be letting the two of them **** talk for months prior to the fight.

Pudsy33

Pettis is coming off two loses, that could be an issue.

Davei141

Isn't Pettis on a medical suspension? I would watch any of the names floated.

Hazys

Everybody and anybody wants that fight, regardless what condition that they are in currently...its a serious payday. Chad Mendes got $400K for taking the fight on short notice.

The fighter who gets picked for this fight could potentially make more in one night than in their entire career combined.

A-Trak

Cerrone should be by far the biggest draw for PPV.

I'm sure as soon as the news broke Cerrone started a cut.

Shít you're right. 180 day suspension. Unless there is some way around that I don't know about, thats a no go.

Maybe there is since Pettis' management are contacting UFC.
