Only because 2015 Khabib had too many injuries.

beat nate handy ?
as handy as last 2 fights again nate?
he lost first fight easily
won second 3 rounds to 2
im a conor fan , but come on please lets be realistic


if same conor turns up again cowboy that we saw last fight then i wouldnt be very confident of victory

Fair enough, but I'm thinking Nate hasn't been active at all since. He stays in shape by all accounts but there's no substitute for the real thing.

If I had even a quarter of the money Conor I wouldn't even consider doing stuff like this and above. Fair play to him he obviously still has some fire burning for fighting.

I know a girl who puts on Gym clothes, gets the runners out and places them neatly beside the gym bag and takes a picture, uploads it to Instagram and then sits down to eat a packet of biscuits. Pictures of him in the gym mean SFA with his track record. When he signs up to fight, i'll believe it.

That he's training hard, sorry if I needed to spell it out.

So you think he got himself all sweaty so he could deadlift a grown man for some instagram pics then just stopped and ate some biscuits?

Welll if the glove fits....
It would not surprise me if he has gone to the gym, splashed himself with some water, did a bit of posing while the little red lad takes a few shots, throws it up on Insta and has a few #FAST #Stamina qoutes and is gone in 30 minutes. He's nothing but a poser these days, if he really wants to fight, he'll sign on the dotted line the way he did for his first 3 years in the UFC.

Maybe he’s waiting for the Khabib rematch?

Which like most rematches the fighters are entitled to.

He only fought 4 months ago, he shouldn't (and isn't) even be considering the fight schedule of his first few years in the UFC.

He fought in October. Give over.

He took a year off once and people act like he's at Nick Diaz levels of inactivity or something.

I reckon the professional athlete (which is his track record btw) is more likely to be training in this instance. Still, fair play on the comparison to a biscuit eating Insta-hun

A fight every 6-9 months is reasonable to expect if he still wanted to remain active.

He's had 10 fights since July 2014.

I worry for people that have this much hatred bottled up for a pro athlete. It's not healthy.

Yeah they definitely have some deep rooted issues. Reading comments sections every so often and seeing the same commited people is just sad.

LOL, g'way will you.

He didn't just stop going to the gym the last while. If he did, he'd hardly still be in good shape.
He still trains, not as frequently as a fight camp maybe, but he's not at home sitting on the couch eating a Chinese every night, or "splashing water on himself" as you seem to think

Yeah, because the guy is normally so inactive .........

He is not entitled to a rematch with Khabib though. If you are beaten definitively by the champion you don't get an automatic rematch.

He doesn't deserve one. The fight wasn't close and was there was a very definitive ending.

I've seen some undeserving people get shots before...... but even Dana would struggle to justify this one

Gas, his last fight in MMA before the Khabib fight was Nov 2016, its now Feb 2019 i would argue its not too far off Nick Diaz levels of inactivity.

This thread is fairly active, compare it to the thread on Saturday night on UFC234. 4-5 pages of comments, lets call a spade a spade most of you are CMG fans and not MMA fans. you'll defend him at all costs.

Last weekend he said he'd fight Nate & Silva yet nothing. He's called out Cerrone last month and yet again nothing. He's an Insta hun if there ever was one.

I'm sure he was involved in something else in between. I mean, I can't really be sure as it was such a low-key affair. Maybe a match in a combat sport with a different rule set?

I'm sure it will come back to me at some point.

I'm curious how you managed to stumble to that conclusion.

Fairly sure it was golf.

How many posts did you have in that thread? How many posts have you had in the MMA Forum that weren't in this thread?

It goes both ways. There are some here who are only into McGregor. There are others who are only into hating on McGregor or anyone who supports him

Been an MMA fan since 2004, big fan of Conors fighting. What a ridiculous statement. Suppose is the hip thing these days to act like people who like him know nothing.

The only MMA related thread you've ever commented on was this one. Each post with rambling hatred for someone you've probably never even met.

Think you need to look closer to home when it comes to criticising peoples post's mate.

Life's too short to get bogged down in this kind of hate.

If my aunt had balls she'd be by uncle. You can't just ignore something because it doesn't fit your narrative.
