Conor Mcgregor

[hankmoody]

The fight didn't last long but the post fight press conference was entertaining.
Conor takes over the show at the 33 minute mark lol.

 

[hankmoody]

Conor is one of the most cerebral fighters i have ever seen. His intelligence, ability to stay calm under pressure, unique training regime, athletic ability and confidence will make him all but unbeatable.
The future of the UFC.

Thing is.....for me a 13 second KO is less impressive than a 50-45 win, or a stoppage in the 4th or 5th round.

If he goes to 155 I think he will have trouble with some of the bigger guys that can get him to the ground.
I would love to see him fight Nate Diaz at 155. But I imagine the UFC will automatically give him a title shot right off the get go, or a number one contender match.

Edgar didn't take damage in his fight either......so they could go right away....Dana loves that money

He's the Tyson of the UFC. Talking trash but backing it up with KO's.

Love him or hate him, he sells ppvs and he gets people to watch.

Unlike Mayweather, who talks shit but then hugs it out for 12 rounds, McGregor is knocking guys out

Wow the Diaz fight is a go.

 

[hankmoody]

Wow the Diaz fight is a go.

To bad about RDA, that would have been a fight.
I would rather see Showtime.

interesting to watch for sure - but then so were rousey and anderson silva... while they lasted

 

[bcneil]

Anyone see the Bellator card? That Kimbo vs Dada 5000 WTF???
Dada almost dies after the fight?? Shamrock vs Gracie

The Diaz fight is going to be at 170. I'm thinking of putting money on Diaz, I was hoping his odds would be even bigger. Around +250 to +300 right now.

 

[hankmoody]

170! That's crazy! 2 weight classes and 25 pounds above.
Can't believe Conor agreed to that weight. What a gift for Diaz to not have to cut. I suppose Diaz will only agree to 3 rounds not the original 5 as well.
I suspect it won't matter much anyway. He'll be lucky to make it to the third.
I still think Cowboy or Showtime deserved the shot.
O well, any day a Diaz gets beat up is a good day.

If Conor is successful with Diaz at 170 -they're talking that UFC 200 will be Lawler vs Mcgregor for the welterweight crown

 

[Surrey's Jewel]

I think Diaz is in big trouble... just sayin.

 

[hankmoody]

"I like the way the girls treat me at the bank." lol
1st round KO he says. I'm sure as hell not going to argue with him.
Starts at 26 min mark.

 

[bcneil]

+400 longshot. That's why they have weight classes.

 

[Booblover123]

Looks like Conner lost and so did Holy Holm.

 

[Jackpot1]

Looks like Conor will go back down & defend his belt against Edgar

Diaz will rematch RDA at lightweight

...& if both are successful Conor will rematch Diaz at 155#

Conor's venture into welterweight will be on hold for awhile & Lawler missed out on a big pay day at UFC 200
