    Anyone hear Luke Rockhold on submission radio

    When asked for a prediction he wasn’t very confident picking Khabib ..

    Mcgregor first round TKO

    He has a sponsorship with Ralph Loren so he has to avoid social media backlash, having a few thousand McG fanboys giving you abuse on social media isn't exactly what the the clothes company want to see

    You're surprised that an athlete toned down their public persona for money....
    Have you seen what he has been wearing to UFC events?

    I'm not sure that Rockholds sponsorships would prevent him from picking his own team mate to win a fight tbh.

    No one said that?

    The poster said Rockhold wasn't very enthusiastic in stating Khabib would win, so basically unlike every other strongly pro-khabib guy he didn't come out saying McG was gonna get mauled and ragdolled for 5 rounds.

    Say Khabib will win and not tash McG = ok

    Say Khabib will destroy McG = social media trolled by people calling you a ****.

    3 or 4 seconds of McGregor using his feet at 5m 10s in....... the fight is on!

    That's the first one of those vlogs I watched. I see they've 5 others done. Whats the point of them? I don't really want to trawl back through them if they're all the content vacuum that this one was

    I think a khabib win would send Dana to an early grave.

    I reckon hes praying for a Mcgregor and Diaz wins at the next two ppv's.




    Why?


    A McG defeat followed by a rematch would make a heap more money for him

    Would Khabib fight him again?..I doubt he reckons he deserves this title shot..if he hadn't thrown the yoke at the bus Conor would have been waiting in line to fight him..

    The Roddy vlogs for the last few Conor fights were brilliant. Great insight into their camp with Conor actually being in it and part of the fun. There was a good balance of arsing around and a behind the curtain look at Conor's training.

    The first few are always slow to start and the quality should definitely pick up fight week when there is more going on but this particular series has been a bit empty. Not sure if Conor is busy with obligations, staying in with a preggers Dee or he's just too big for messing around in vlogs now.

    Does he like money?


    UFC is a private company. They can do what they like. He is an employee. They can make it worth his while to participate in a rematch or they can strip him of his title if they want due to any refusal (if he wins it).

    Conor was getting this fight regardless of the bus incident imo. Conor was the LW champ, and never lost the belt in the octagon. Khabib got his current belt for beating a fighter nowhere near title contention. Khabib needs to beat Conor to consolidate his title reign with the lineal lightweight title.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,882 ✭✭✭sc86


    khabib got handed the title , lets be fair , and he made hard work of it

    would have been like conor fighting dennis siver for the featherweight belt!


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    At least he's going to try to defend it..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,882 ✭✭✭sc86


    oh theres one we havnt heard before!


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Yeah, you're probably sick listening to it seeing as he hasn't defended like 4 belts or something..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,882 ✭✭✭sc86


    i couldnt care less what he does to be honest once hes back fighting in a cage

    There were great however different times now.

    I wonder if Conor new deal has anything to do with less footage ? He did get proper 12 on matt maybe he did have to put in some terms ? Unlikely though

    I think he would have got whatever fight he wanted at LW or WW even if he'd gone and banged Dana's wife. Dana would have handed him the towel afterwards too.

    He's the golden goose and has them absolutely over a barrel. Give him what he wants and everyone gets paid.
