7.41 in Roddy's new vid...Julian Dalby is evidently concerned with energy efficiency in many contexts, sporting a lagging jacket as a fashion piece. You get 'em, doc.

Dressed like Mugatu out of Zoolander.

Mugatu would never be caught dead wearing orange and red, big fashion no no.

Saipanne

The MacLife cameraman is terrible. He seems to be obsessed with that zoom button. All over the place.

Hardly a big announcement to family, who already know.

That jumper and the rolls with his face on it are awful.

The jumper is a Coogi sweater, definitely a tribute to Biggie.

I think its deadly looking. Bit out of my price range though

The Rolls is a bit much.

They would want to be paying me to wear that jumper and drive that car. And paying me well.

Useful.Idiot

The jumper is slick!

hefferboi

I actually think McGregor would have a lot more success bringing out his own clothing brand than that Fast training. In this day and age men are nearly more into fashion than women and McGregor is a massive style icon.

I can definitely see him doing it in the future.

That pic of him in the jumper with the rolls was class "it was all a dream". Very fitting with his walkout tune and king of New York title. Open workouts tonight, not sure what time yet though. Actually is there a press conference on today?

That's australian dollars. Looks like something a long haired hippy who spins those fire balls would wear at a music festival.

Looks like a drug-rug alright, but I kinda like it.

You mean Conor is on performance enhancing drugs?.

Mod: Quit the trolling or you will be taking a long break - also there are charter rules as regards fighters, I suggest you make yourself aware of them.

Not as of right now. The UFC are doing it arseways as usual. It's available through the UFC facebook page and there's a few journalists planning periscope streams.

It's late starting. For once, probably not Conors doing lol

Karyn Bryant kindly put up a stream.

Eddie Alvarez up now. Got mildly booed by the small crowd in attendance so far.

wonderfullife

It appears Eddie's team has brought pool noodles to do some touch-butt.

dashoonage

Eddie looks nice and flowy.....

wonderfullife

In what could be perceived as taking the piss out of Ido and John,..... Mark Henry is now using pool noodles to do some touch-butt drills and Eddie slipping the noodles.

The only thing that will be flowy from Eddie is the blood from his grape head

Eddie is an underrated boxer and has excellent feet. Gonna be tricky fight even if it stays standing, hope the lads don't underestimate his stand up

wonderfullife

Ido Portal is in the house for the workouts.

If anything hes over rated, what does he do good to impress you boxing wise im curious? He has 2 shots he throws basic 1-2 and an upper cut left hook,no jab no body shots no head kicks either.

haha. It's pretty commonplace across MMA I thought? Seems like it's only getting attention since Nate's classic line.

His footwork and head movement are very good. By your logic Conor only has a left hand.

What has Conor got to do with the discussion?


So his movement is good but not his actual striking is that what you think? what shots make him a good boxer ive yet to see them he windmills punches throws hail mary right hands.

You asked what makes him a good boxer ? I said his footwork and head movement are very good for a MMA fighter .

His striking is very good. Just look at his last fight . There is a difference between striking and combinations.

You dont have to throw fancy cominations to be a good boxer.

I agree he leaves himself open when he throws which is his downfall that will go against him in this fight. Nobodys boxing technique is perfect especially in MMA.

His last fight is a poor example,he got backed up onto the cage for the duration for the fight until he threw a hail mary 1-2 and landed, rocked RDA badly alright so no fluke or anything but his finish was what I'd describe as sloppy not something a good boxer would do, he was windmilling punches gassing himself out nearly in the process couldnt even put RDA down again,

I find him basic enough nothing has impressed me in his latest few fights he got punched around and whooped by Cowboy dropped with leg kicks also had sex with Pettis against the cage in the most boring fight I can remember, he is light years behind McGregor as well as most of the top ranked fighters I'd have Nate Ferguson Barboza Khabib all beating him tbh.

It used to be just poor aul Artem getting stick now the hatred has been ramped up a few notches to everyone and everything connected to McGregor....the past couple of days we've had it all from the camera work on his utube channel to the food his nutritionist cooks, now his fukking jumper ......laughable really, hysterical in fact

Man puts himself in the public media. Do you expect people not to pass comment on him ? There are plenty of positives to go with the negatives.

Edit: that jumper is **** though....

Just opinions. I wouldn't call it hate. Some people don't like the jumper...Doesn't make them haters. lol

The jumper is nice. The rolls is vomit.

Sent you a PM. That clearly wasn't fighter bashing or drug use accusations. It was a question and a joke question. I didn't break any rules in the charter.

Conor half an hour late to Open Workouts. Can't blame traffic this time he's within walking distance from his hotel. :pac:

Is he not staying in a different place to the rest of the fighters which are accross the street?

Worried about the absence of Sensei Portal its not a open workout without touch butt.

That slip of the head with the left cross is like lightning

He's staying in Essex House by Central Park which is roughly 1km from MSG.

I'd probably walk it myself given the traffic in NY ..... Mind you i wouldn't be asked for a million autographs and selfies along the way
