Official Conor McGregor Thread (READ MOD WARNING IN OP)

CIARAN_BOYLE

Any ideas floating around about Conor's next fight.

Everyone else in the top tier seems to be booked in the near future. This could make it possible for Conor to get a title shot after Aldo mendes.

dare i say it, that was just too easy for Mcgregor.

He's definitely the featherweight Anderson Silva. Ive no doubt in my mind now. He looks like the Matrix compared to all these other fellas so far.

He caught Dustin right behind the ear, then hit him with about 3 clean unanswered punches to the face of Dustin while he was on the ground, so what else could Herb do only stop the fight. Dustin was pretty much out of it, he didnt even seem coherent until a good 20 seconds after the fight was stopped.

Agreed. Herb stopped him just as he was about to land another to the head. Little doubt in my mind that if he let it continue it would have only lasted another 5 seconds as he wasn't defending himself.

Dustin can protest all he wants but if the ref didnt stop it then Connor would have pummeled him. The way his arm was layed out he would hve had no decent way of protecting himself. Game Over.

Watched it this morning and was very impressed. I'm a big wwe fan but I have to say this was nearly on a par wi th It for excitment. Probably not as skillful but overall very impressed

This post hurts my head.

Ah he's class , so relaxed in the Octagon it's a joy to watch h fight.

Not really. I would compare it big time with WWE..the hype etc. It's just such an impressive event.

Seriously? I'm a WWE fan myself, and yes, there is massive hype in it (Reigns, Ambrose, Bryan, Bálor etc) and yes, the characters in it are in tremendous shape and are fantastic athletes but there is no way WWE is on par with MMA skill wise. One is pretty much a soap and the other is legit combat.

Hard to know really. I'd love to see him fight Frankie or Cub but they're booked up and you'd imagine the winner would get a title shot. Maybe the loser of those two but it's hard to know.

Korean Zombie would be an interesting fight.

xtal191

Winner of Bermudez vs Lamas maybe

Dermighty

Bermudez Vs. McGregor would be awesome.

Jaysus this argument between John kavanagh and Ewan makenna on twitter is embarrassing.

There is obviously some history there between them. MacKenna has been very disparaging of Conor over the past 6 months or so basically insinuating his fights are fixed. I mean that's basically calling him and his camp, crooked. Not surprised that has got their backs up.

Have you seen some of the guys tweets? he's basically calling conor and his team a fraud but then asking for interviews

Mckenna is coming off like a real clown, he should get back in his box and go away.
Why be so negative when its much more enjoyable to be loving this bandwagon at the moment. Plenty of other **** in the world to be bitter about then a successful Irish fighter who keeps us all entertained.

Just an attention seeking eejit jumping on the bandwagon to get his 15 minutes of fame.

He compares MMA to WWE too and apparently implied that Conor's other fights were fixes too.

Yeah it seems like he is still of that mentality that was around about the time of the first UFC in ireland amongst the uneducated media. Thought that was gone already, looks like it will take another few years

One is fake,one is real,one is a competition to see who is the best and the other is just a rehearsed act with no competition,i don't get the comparisons at all.

From watching all Conor's interviews after the fight yesterday I get the impression he really wants to fight at 155 lbs . He talked about how he hates the weight cutting aspect etc... Hopefully he gets the title at 145 lbs & becomes the topic of the next 'superfight' fighter - a match up against Pettis would be mouth watering although that's probably 2/3 years down the line at a minimum. The hype train continues to roll anyway , he is without doubt one of the biggest stars in the UFC at present , long may it continue.

SureYWouldntYa

He says he hates the weight cut but I imagine he loves the size and power advantage more

Lenin Skynard

Just noticed there that RTE included Conor's fight in their sports coverage on the 9pm news.

I think that's a first?

Zero-Cool

For the time being i only see aldo giving him problems with leg kicks. I don't believe a wrestler will be his downfall as rolling with jk and gunni for the last few years has to give you a good ground game. I also see him beating cub and frankie.

Mendez gas man said to conor to come to Brazil, Sit in the front row, eat a bowl of lucky charms and watch brilliance as he beats aldo. Dana said there's about 3 different ways the fw title matchups could go. Will be interesting to see what the next few weeks brings.

Also it's crap to see pro fighters dismiss the win due to strikes to the back of the head, seen a few on twitter.

Ewan is a tit who is annoyed because John posted something that had his number on it.

So what does he do? He tries to belittle Conor's victory.

Childish behaviour. He's a first class muppet.

This isnt the first time Kavanagh has let criticism from fans/media get to him. Doesnt seem to handle criticism too well. For a team who pride themselves on being mentally strong he needs to sort out his own mental game. Its only someones ill informed opinion John, dont let it bother you.

Have UFC changed their FW rankings yet?

Assume Conor will have moved up to 5th at the minimum.

I reckon his next fight will be Frankie with the winner getting a title fight.

Frankie already has a fight vs Cub.

yipeeeee

Just watched the fight again, conor gets caught with a lovely left by porier around the 1:20 mark, must be his tooth incident.

But it didn't seem to wobble or faze him.
