The Conor McGregor Thread

ELM327

He was beaten and beaten badly last night.
I don't think he cares enough anymore tbh, he's made his brand and his millions. Probably off to WWE next. To be honest I think he always acted like he was in WWE anyway!

Funny how some seem to take this Vegas circus act Dana White puts on so seriously.

Sport my arse.

You're creating an artificial distinction for yourself based on what you find palatable and what social convention has told you is acceptable. You think there's a degree of 'honour' involved in punching someone in the face, yet choke-holds, of the type which you'll see in Olympic wrestling, are nothing more than 'common assault'. Keep locking yourself away in your comfortable constructs where everything makes sense.

He is using WWE Attitude era heel promos mixed with some Muhammad Ali.

But that's all that matter to him, more and more cash so he can flaunt million quid birthday parties, cruising down the strip in Vegas with a crowd of yes men stroking his ego, he loves all that, all the attention and his devotion to his skill took a backseat. Now he has been beaten and beaten good, and I personally am thrilled to see him fall flat on his face. He should have been kicked out of USA after his antics earlier this year anyway, total scumbag.

You misunderstood me. I was replying to a contributor why was writing-off McGregor's defeat as some sort of success because he made money. Defending a sportsperson by saying "well at least he made millions" is actually quite insulting. I don't disagree with your above analysis, btw. But that wasn't what that previous exchange was about.

Silly comment. It implies that what matters most to McGregor is money

It’s all he ever talks about tbf..

He’s classic new money.. all fur coat and no knickers..

No doubt a “grudge” rematch already planned.

Might be the start of a decline or even the end for McGregor in UFC.

But one thing that's indisputable is that he's got great heart. He showed that against Diaz and showed it again last night - how he survived those haymakers from Khabib in round 2...and then went on to win round 3 :eek: !!

Let's revisit this in a few months and see what's what. Russians are tough fcukers. Even an untrained one is dangerous. They are like travellers, they don't give up. Conor does. Conor has him all day on the feet but when it goes to the ground he's done. Khabib won't care about putting on a show and going punch for punch with Conor. He will get it to the ground as early as possible and maul Conor like a little girl.

Conor was well controlled by Chad on the mat and Khabib has a weight and skill advantage over Chad.

I think Chad would beat Khabib, I think he is a better wrestler and a better striker but it would be hard to call.

A great day for Balls, from picking through the thrash of Conor McGregor’s tweet to picking through this thrash now, they’ll milk it for all it’s worth.

Hope the lad is ok though, but that looked like the difference between a guy throwing a drunk punch and a guy throwing a proper punch.

That knacker deserved to get knocked out, acting the hard man then spitting on someone, a good cross cut on some of the degenerates hanging around Vegas.

Looks like that Russian has some MMA in him - a few kicks prior to the knockout punch.

Cunts like that make events or nights out dangerous for everyone else. No harm to see them actually finding trouble when they go looking for it. At least he got tagged himself rather than some other poor harmless fucker as what often happens

Hopefully that is the end of mma thinking it is mainstream.

Fans and McGregor a total disgrace.

Not sure how 1/2 of then even get into states.
McGregor included.

Something like this will make UFC far more mainstream because pretty much everyone who isn't a fan will be talking about it.

As saying goes in pro wrestling which is applicable to mma, controversy creates cash.

ShamoBuc

He was deservedly beaten. So was that spitting knacker.
Good night all round.

Another 3m for him for the rematch.

Yes but it could eat itself up

Only so much the authorities will take from a crime / public disorder perspective

Licensing and insurance will catch up with it

You almost had a competitor in headline cause a full scale riot in an arena.

Some of the things McGregor said about him we're absolutely outrageous, racist and completely unnacptable

Couldn't crticise the Russian after for his reaction to McGregor, he even slaged off his father .

McGregor has no class

jamesbere

It's all a show, create controversy just to get people interested and make money. I don't mind that so much. What I don't like is the wannabe McGregors I see around the place, who think their tough men.

JohnnyFlash

There’s few things more embarrassing than seeing some inbred looking scobie with a tricolour around his neck take a box at someone. UFC really seems to attract the very worst of the worst.

strettyend

im as irish as the next person but mcgregor doesnt represent me. He is a foul mouted knacker who was disgusting at his press conference with his filthy language. what message does that send out to all the young kids watching this? he insulted khabib, his religion, his dad. Delighted he got the head boxed off himself and hopefully we wont have to put up much longer with the obnoxious prick and his rantings much longer.

Philosophy Zombie

The bread and circus mob had their 'fun' last night in Vegas I see. Good to see them get so worked up about stuff that actually matters.

Agent Coulson

Vince McMahon would have been proud of that ending.

The UFC is more WWE than the WWE these days.

TerrorFirmer

Jesus, that's so embarrassing. Lads with beer bellies and big red farmers faces jumping around like they're pro-fighters.

Re: the fight....went about as I expected. Heart had hoped Conor would get a good left hand but I think the head knew he wasn't going to win and was going to get smothered early on.

Don't think there's any shame or embarrassment in the loss to be honest, Nurmagomedov has made mince meat of every other high-level fighter as well.

Next fight will be interesting though.

He shouldn’t have carried on the way he did if he wasn’t able to take a punch. The state of him with his crap blue shirt and pasty white arms I’d say he’s sore this morning. Delighted he got put in his place.

That's the usual 'hold me back' bravado that these dopes engage in every weekend.. usually with no repercussions. Picked the wrong crowd for his hard man act this time.

Absolute pack of louts.
