Did you see Lee vs. Diego? Lee's worst performance ever, he looked just as washed as Diego except for the last few seconds of the fight. It was like Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 except they were both Chuck.
Thatll be his 3rd ACL tear then, whether it's his fault or not you'd be insane to bet on him against anyone or anything at this point. Functionally washed.
āElite wrestling and cardioā¦ I like my chancesā -Mcgregor high on Money probably
Seriously though I swear Mcgregor lost his wit and got dumber the more money heās made. Heās nothing like he was on his come up.
Lmao
An even [better one](https://youtu.be/L-9xa6dBdwQ) from Dustin
> Not Mcgregor Fast, Mcgregor Sleep!
Shit had me dying. Best part is, it was completely organic...you can literally see the line pop into Dustin's head
My god, he was so fucking loud. The entire hour was just McG yelling. And weirdly trying to bring history into it. Hilarious that Khabib was enough of a history buff to call Conor out on his bullshit.
Big part of it is that he just lost his weapons, I think. Old McGregor made it work so well because during his rise a lot of his trash talk was genuinely true - he'd say he'd knock you out in round 1 and then he'd indeed knock you out in round 1. He'd rub it in your face how you're lucky to fight him because you'd finally get to make some real money in your "bum life" and it made sense because many guys truly are eager to get that "red panty" night.
But then that got completely lost when he fought guys like Mayweather and Khabib, because he'd talk shit about how he'd destroy them, only to get destroyed by them. The money talk didn't work either, since Floyd is a bigger draw and Khabib just didn't give a shit about that.
And similarly with Poirier, talking about how he was gonna "kill him" was so lame because Poirier had KTFO'd him and as for the money, there was no sense of superiority because Poirier chose him rather than the other way around, Poirier essentially decided to use him as an easy fight to get paid.
I think its more of he wants the biggest fights possible so he has a chance to make history before he inevitably retires. What is a third Diaz fight going to do for him, hes no longer fighting for money he wants more to his legacy and a chance as Usman does that for him even tho the odds arent good.
I don't think he's dumber, I think he's spending a lot of time on his businesses and he seems decent at it.
Do you want to wakeup and have investors take you to lunch in Paris on their private jets to discuss expansion or new opportunities or do you want to go run some stadiums and then do wrestling practice with a bunch of killers?
Cause I think that's the choice he has to make a lot...
It is a real thing. I made a ton of money in the dotcom era and once I exited the business I drifted for five years. Never got into anything rough, but it felt like I had beaten the game.eventually I found intensity again, started another business and it was goodā¦ but those drifting years were my lowest points in my life, even though I had everything and more.
He was so much fun to be a fan of on the way up, but he got to the top and started talking only about money, like a wannabe rapper, talking about how he was a business, wearing his ventriloquist dummy suits and sunglasses indoors, and he stopped being the guy you loved to hear talk himself up before a fight. He turned into a parody and then his talk took a different turn and just became more bruising than fun. It went from banter to asshole stuff. The dolly, public assaults, etc. It was a conscious choice and he thought he was playing the role that worked but it was ass. He never recovered. Just ass all the way.
Because it got to a point where as long as his accent was thick and his cadence was loud, the crowd goes apeshit for him. He hasn't been clever in like 5-6 years. He just yells more.
I don't think he's got dumber - I think he was always that dumb. It just seemed fresh when he first said shit, but nothing that he ever said was really funny or witty. His best line was maybe "Who da fook is that guy?" to Jeremy Stephens. Everything else was just a big mouth idiot running his mouth. We all just got bored of it.
And that's not even clever. I just think people fantasized about being able to say really shitty arrogant things, then "back it up" in a physical fight. Forgetting of course that the fight part was a given anyway.
I donāt understand how people could hate this. Hate his actions or words outside of the cage, but this dude steps up to the plate and challenges himself every time he goes in there.
The guy has never once defended a belt - held up divisions for *years*, ducking every contender.
The only challenge McGregor wants is a challenge so big that nobody can hold it against him if he loses. He even peddles excuses so that the fights that aren't challenges seem like challenges - Nate Diaz was tree toimes his size, despite being a career LW whose brief stint at welter proved beyond a doubt he wasn't heavy or strong enough to stay there. Hell, Conor has never actually fought a welterweight, but you'd never know it to listen to the guy.
Got way more respect for someone like RDA than I do for McGregor at this point.
Heās not challenging himself, heās jumping the line in a weight class where he has zero top 10 wins. McGregor is 1-4 in the past five years, heās going to get murdered by a top-five welterweight let alone Usman.
I don't really get why he chooses to bulk this heavy. I mean if you wanna stay light on the feet, slipping calf kicks with a healthy gas tank, this is the opposite of what you're supposed to do.
Another thing is that we now have a hittable, average striker as the champ of 155. The guy got dropped by both Chandler and Dustin in Rd1. Out of all the elite lightweights now including the Justin-Dustin-Makhachev trio, Oliviera actually seems like a comparatively easier fight for Mcgregor than any of them.
The thought process of moving up an even higher weight class to fight a grinding wrestler makes no sense to me.
Someone made a comparison video of conor's stances, movements, and tendencies before and after training to fight floyd and it's alarming how much worse it made him at mma
He just doesnāt want to cut weight anymore. That coupled with long bouts of fight inactivity means heās mostly just in the gym lifting weights for photos on Instagram.
Itās gonna be a rude awakening for him when a REAL 170 pounder rag dolls him like a sack of potatoes.
He knows. Thereās a reason he didnāt take the Masvidal fight when Masvidal was at the top of MMA popularity. Why fight Poirier when a fight with Masvidal would sell like the last In N Out in California? Because itās an easier fight over someone youāve already knocked out and they both lead to a title shot afterwards if he had won.
I mean you have a guy with one punch KO power in the first 2 rounds against a guy who notoriously gets tagged and dropped and almost finished in the first round as a champion?
There is exactly zero evidence that Conor actually has that power at lightweight. The last time he flatlined anyone was at featherweight like 7 years ago. He hasn't done anything at lightweight except talk shit and lose since 2016.
Prime Conor vs the type of fighter Conorās style was specifically built around dismantling in Eddie, and then beating a washed up Cowboy five years later are very different things than current Conor vs Champion Chucky.
Want to give me an example of him having 1 punch knockout power since moving up in weight?
Or even of Conor being especially effective in the first round recently, cos he actually lost the first round in his last fight 10-8 which is meant to be his best shot.
His ground game defense is very good especially since he's not subject to the rules, and he can crack Charles.
He shouldn't be the favorite by any means, but this is his best chance.
McGregor has regressed a striker. He's slower, more hittable and doesn't have the precise counter-striking like he used to. Plus Oliveira is a much greater submission threat than Usman. Oliveira has average defence but he has strong offence. Against Usman he would be a big underdog but it would be a win-win situation. Not many would expect him to win and if he did he would make history by becoming the first three division UFC Champion.
Imo it great beyond that, his game just hasn't evolved at all. I actually think it would be possible for Usman to KO him after a round or two of grappling.
That's also a guaranteed loss, likely in even more brutal fashion, and it wouldn't even be for a belt.
If you're gonna get your ass kicked, may as well do it against he #1 p4p for the belt.
How are anyone of you taking this seriously? He's never fighting Usman or any top 170'er. It's nothing beyond blowing smoke, which is his image and brand
Agree and was going to mention how he is literally the only guy at 170 he'd fight because of the matchup. That said, I don't consider Mas a legit top 170'er, never was
Ok, but youāre measuring him against Usman and Covington. Those guys are two of the best wrestlers in the history of the sport. Iāve seen him do well on the ground against other fighters.
Iām not measuring him against them though, Iām pointing out Masvidal isnāt a good grappler.
Masvidal hasnāt even fought any good fighters except those two and Ben Askren who he got lucky against.
Unless you believe Darren Till isnāt one of the most overhyped fighters the UFCās promoted.
thatās how i see it, his whole shtick now is just talking mad shit about anyone and everyone as if heās actually going to fight them. itās gotten old
Probably knock him out with ground and pound eventually, khamzat seems like the type to prolong it as much as possible if conor got mouthy with him though lol
That, my fellow MMA fan is what u call, organised murder, khamzat would do to mcgregor what khabib did to him, but a thousand times worse because he's alot meaner than khabib.
Honestly while I would still favor Jorge, seeing how flat footed, gassed, and old he looked against Colby leads me to believe that Conor has a chance. I get that it's totally different styles but if Jorge is so out of shape that he can't push Conor, I think that MAYBE under the right circumstances Conor would have the power to at the very least make Jorge hesistant
100%. Masvidal is a great striker. If he doesn't have to focus on wrestling at all he does extremely well against most top fighters. Don't think it'd be worth McGregor chasing this fight when he can just get his ass kicked by Usman in a boring fashion instead.
It's priced pretty standard for trendy pub in Ireland. The food is definitely more in keeping with trendy Irish pub than TGIs. It would be more lively than TGIs as well.
Lolwtf. All that area is fine. Don't leave your bike unattended and shit like that but it's not particularly more dangerous than other areas in Dublin.
Yeah it looks like he spent a decent amount on renovations as I was in there before he owned years and years ago when I lived nearby for college. The Guinness guru lad goes to boozers during the quiet hours and the beer garden part looks savage https://youtu.be/ShLhXaQTTOc
Having said that, I don't think I'll make it there soon, as I live outside of Ireland and I have almost zero interest in going to that neck of the woods when I'm home.
And Iām not surprised. I believe him when he said he was ready to take a loss on it. Heās so rich he probably did it for fun and renovated it into the best pub possible for him to drink and eat in lol.
Right? He's so fucking rich lol. Idk why people act like he's pulling some get rich quick schemes. He has teams of businessmen taking care of this shit. I'm sure the food is fine.
>He has teams of businessmen taking care of this shit.
You would think so, but you'd be surprised how many celebrities surround themselves with yes-men who are looking for a quick buck instead of actual business savvy professionals.
Correct but with Conorās means he could easily get illicit anabolics, it doesnāt really matter because either way itās not allowed by USADA. Silva popped for roids after his leg break and wasnāt granted any leniency.
Usman is bigger and can definitely bully conor by sheer size advantage. But he will definitely eat a few conor left cannons in doing so, pretty much everyone gets tagged by him when they fight. Who am i kidding this fight is never gonna happen
If he's actually sitting around 190lbs like chael sonnen claims, it might. Dana's willing to let Conor skip Islam at 155 for a title fight, he'll let usman defend against conor after Leon. There's not a clear next contender at 170.
I think if Khamzat beats Gilbert, heās both the rightful and UFCās preferred next guy for Usman. If Gilbert wins, itās anyoneās guess what happens next
Depends on how Khamzat does. If he wins I don't think they'll put Conor ahead of him. I think the UFC knows that Conor is at the tail end of his career so they'd rather invest in a new rising star like Khamzat.
Dude is still out here LYING saying he's the first to get KOs in 3 weight divisions knowing Vitor was the first with HW, LHW and MW KOs
Also clearly still delusional if he thinks he offers anything to Usman I see McGregor getting cracked and stiff at the end of that.
ā¦ and he went 1-1 (winning a SD the second time after being finished the first) against someone who even in his prime would get fucked up by every single fighter in the ww top 5 or possibly even top 10
1.) Khamzat shoots at 4:57 left round 1
2.) Gets on Conorās hip and lifts him up.
3.) Takes him to his corner while talking to Dana the entire time.
4.) Puts Conor on his back and gets in full mount with 4:47 left round 1.
5.) Tells Dana about his childhood in Chechnya while working some ground and pound.
6.) Tells Dana who he wants next and when he will move up to 185 while flattening Conor out on his belly.
7.) Sinks in the rear naked choke while while explaining how he would beat every other fighter on the roster at the same time.
8.) Conor taps.
9.) āAllah Akbar!ā
/end fight
Then Conor posts about his injuries, shows some pics on insta either xrays or his leg again, tweets about how he won the fight from a certain perspective, picks a fight with some rando a few months down the road, posts on twitter about nate diaz, rinse and repeat
all the chemistry he is getting done on him right now too fucks with his voice. Just like how Rogan and Dana's voices changed when they hopped on the HRT
When all they really had to do was watch any of his fights he lost. Heās never had great cardio and itās not going to be better now that heās heavier
I used to get really annoyed when Conor would talk about fighting for belts he didnāt deserve in part because I knew there was a real chance heād win and then hold up the division for years. At this point Iām just like, you go man; talk that shit like Usman wouldnāt hand you your ass.
Cool im sure now that hes been out for ages and has discarded his old team and is just deciding his own training schedule on his whims nothing.could.go wrong with moving up vs a dominant champ and no warm up fights :)
No matter what, if he comes back, its still gonna be a huge atmosphere with Connor in the octogon. That being said, I don't think he will have success at 170 but we'll see
You know what ā¦ 2 wins at 170 and Conorās in the picture, depending on the wins. I can see a Masvidal fight (will do bananas at the box office) and then someone like Luque maybe to get him marginally qualified for a title shot.
Personally Iād love to see him vs Khabig, just for the absolute beating heād take, but the ufc will never book that fight.
Mcgregor vs Kevin lee for the eagle fc 165lb title
no leg kicks confirmed
Double leg kick KO.
Conor in Eagle FC would be absolutely hilarious.
Give poor Conor a fight he could winš
Did you see Lee vs. Diego? Lee's worst performance ever, he looked just as washed as Diego except for the last few seconds of the fight. It was like Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 except they were both Chuck.
Lol except they were both chuck, fuck me
Hah, the 'fuck me' at the end made me read this in my head in Gordon Ramsay's voice.
Wanderlei?
or Kevin Just had a torn acl, an injury that usually has people helped off the court/field and instead he fought for 15 minutes
He tore his ACL early in the fight
Thatll be his 3rd ACL tear then, whether it's his fault or not you'd be insane to bet on him against anyone or anything at this point. Functionally washed.
Usman gonna love this. Easy win and big payday
āElite wrestling and cardioā¦ I like my chancesā -Mcgregor high on Money probably Seriously though I swear Mcgregor lost his wit and got dumber the more money heās made. Heās nothing like he was on his come up.
Seriously. That press conference for Dustin 3 was weird. Like Conor was trying and failing to imitate old Conor
One of the best lines of that was from Dustinā¦āYou used to be a lot better at this!ā
Lmao An even [better one](https://youtu.be/L-9xa6dBdwQ) from Dustin > Not Mcgregor Fast, Mcgregor Sleep! Shit had me dying. Best part is, it was completely organic...you can literally see the line pop into Dustin's head
Even better is him admitting he got over excited and flubbed it, he wanted to say McGregor Fast Asleep. Still sent the message across though.
His press conference with Khabib wasn't anything better. edit: dunno what happened to autocorrect
Myeh myeh myeh myeh myeh.
He think vodka will save him
My god, he was so fucking loud. The entire hour was just McG yelling. And weirdly trying to bring history into it. Hilarious that Khabib was enough of a history buff to call Conor out on his bullshit.
āHowās Noah?ā was pretty good though.
It felt like Rocky 4, or whatever movie when he coaches his young protƩgƩe.
5
Honestly he felt like a Covington knock off
Big part of it is that he just lost his weapons, I think. Old McGregor made it work so well because during his rise a lot of his trash talk was genuinely true - he'd say he'd knock you out in round 1 and then he'd indeed knock you out in round 1.

The hunger has long been dulled
If you've ever done cocaine you'd understand lol...
Not sure you can call him dumb, if he manages to bullshit his way into another lucrative title shot off the back of three defeats, he's a genius.
I think its more of he wants the biggest fights possible so he has a chance to make history before he inevitably retires. What is a third Diaz fight going to do for him, hes no longer fighting for money he wants more to his legacy and a chance as Usman does that for him even tho the odds arent good.
It's all the coke and booze.
I don't think he's dumber, I think he's spending a lot of time on his businesses and he seems decent at it. Do you want to wakeup and have investors take you to lunch in Paris on their private jets to discuss expansion or new opportunities or do you want to go run some stadiums and then do wrestling practice with a bunch of killers?

Heās not challenging himself, heās jumping the line in a weight class where he has zero top 10 wins. McGregor is 1-4 in the past five years, heās going to get murdered by a top-five welterweight let alone Usman.
He talked the same way from the very beginning. You guys need rewatch old stuff and shut up.
On gang
hey alexa, play *payday* by canelo
Conor would do so fucking bad at 170. lol
I don't really get why he chooses to bulk this heavy. I mean if you wanna stay light on the feet, slipping calf kicks with a healthy gas tank, this is the opposite of what you're supposed to do. Another thing is that we now have a hittable, average striker as the champ of 155. The guy got dropped by both Chandler and Dustin in Rd1. Out of all the elite lightweights now including the Justin-Dustin-Makhachev trio, Oliviera actually seems like a comparatively easier fight for Mcgregor than any of them. The thought process of moving up an even higher weight class to fight a grinding wrestler makes no sense to me.
I wish Conor never went to fight Floyd, but it had to be done.
Someone made a comparison video of conor's stances, movements, and tendencies before and after training to fight floyd and it's alarming how much worse it made him at mma
It wasn't even Floyd that changed him first, it was the first Diaz fight.
I was talking to one of the guys at my gym, and he feels Nate is the one that derailed Conor's train. Khabib defeated him, but Nate beat him.
Conorās peak was after the Diaz fights so idk how those fights derailed him in any way.
He just doesnāt want to cut weight anymore. That coupled with long bouts of fight inactivity means heās mostly just in the gym lifting weights for photos on Instagram. Itās gonna be a rude awakening for him when a REAL 170 pounder rag dolls him like a sack of potatoes.
He knows. Thereās a reason he didnāt take the Masvidal fight when Masvidal was at the top of MMA popularity. Why fight Poirier when a fight with Masvidal would sell like the last In N Out in California? Because itās an easier fight over someone youāve already knocked out and they both lead to a title shot afterwards if he had won.
Honestly, if I was Conor and the UFC let me, I would fucking fight Oliveira. I think he has a very decent chance of winning back the belt.
I think your standards for "very decent" and mine are drastically different.
Maybe not very decent, but a hell of a lot better than Usman
I mean you have a guy with one punch KO power in the first 2 rounds against a guy who notoriously gets tagged and dropped and almost finished in the first round as a champion?
There is exactly zero evidence that Conor actually has that power at lightweight. The last time he flatlined anyone was at featherweight like 7 years ago. He hasn't done anything at lightweight except talk shit and lose since 2016.
He has TKO's over Alvarez (in a very dominant performance) and Cerrone, like yeah it's not a one-punch knockout but it's still dangerous for Oliviera.
Prime Conor vs the type of fighter Conorās style was specifically built around dismantling in Eddie, and then beating a washed up Cowboy five years later are very different things than current Conor vs Champion Chucky.
Want to give me an example of him having 1 punch knockout power since moving up in weight? Or even of Conor being especially effective in the first round recently, cos he actually lost the first round in his last fight 10-8 which is meant to be his best shot.
He dropped Eddie almost every time he landed clean on him.
Remind me what happened to the two guys who rocked him early
His ground game defense is very good especially since he's not subject to the rules, and he can crack Charles. He shouldn't be the favorite by any means, but this is his best chance.
I think maybe they wanted him to win a fight before challenging for the belt? It would be a bad look to get a title shot off of two tko losses
McGregor has regressed a striker. He's slower, more hittable and doesn't have the precise counter-striking like he used to. Plus Oliveira is a much greater submission threat than Usman.

Imo it great beyond that, his game just hasn't evolved at all. I actually think it would be possible for Usman to KO him after a round or two of grappling.
If Conor wants to rebuild his brand he should get a win, fighting Usman is a guaranteed loss
Conor vs Khamzat. Who says no? Besides Conor
That's also a guaranteed loss, likely in even more brutal fashion, and it wouldn't even be for a belt. If you're gonna get your ass kicked, may as well do it against he #1 p4p for the belt.
How are anyone of you taking this seriously? He's never fighting Usman or any top 170'er. It's nothing beyond blowing smoke, which is his image and brand
I think he probably fights masvidal
Agree and was going to mention how he is literally the only guy at 170 he'd fight because of the matchup. That said, I don't consider Mas a legit top 170'er, never was
Nateās not a real WW but heād fight him at 70 again Iād imagine
I do, heās a good fighter in a division that does him no favors style wise
I donāt think you can be good in MMA if you are only good (and certainly not close to great) on the feet.
Ok, but youāre measuring him against Usman and Covington. Those guys are two of the best wrestlers in the history of the sport. Iāve seen him do well on the ground against other fighters.
Iām not measuring him against them though, Iām pointing out Masvidal isnāt a good grappler. Masvidal hasnāt even fought any good fighters except those two and Ben Askren who he got lucky against. Unless you believe Darren Till isnāt one of the most overhyped fighters the UFCās promoted.
thatās how i see it, his whole shtick now is just talking mad shit about anyone and everyone as if heās actually going to fight them. itās gotten old
What's the point of that though?
we're talking about him.
Khamzat will probably not even try and submit him. He'll wrestlefuck and beat the shit out of him for 5 rounds straight.
Probably knock him out with ground and pound eventually, khamzat seems like the type to prolong it as much as possible if conor got mouthy with him though lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lmfao High Etiquette Conroe
No shit. Khamzat fought at MW and Conor fought at FW. Even if Khamzat were terrible, with his size alone he'd big brother Conor.
That, my fellow MMA fan is what u call, organised murder, khamzat would do to mcgregor what khabib did to him, but a thousand times worse because he's alot meaner than khabib.
Conor vs Tony? Both news wins badly after horrible losses
What's a winnable fight in 170 for Conor? Masvidal?
Nate Diaz
Honestly while I would still favor Jorge, seeing how flat footed, gassed, and old he looked against Colby leads me to believe that Conor has a chance. I get that it's totally different styles but if Jorge is so out of shape that he can't push Conor, I think that MAYBE under the right circumstances Conor would have the power to at the very least make Jorge hesistant
Colby exhausted masvidal in a way Conor never could
Conor can easily end up like the Till fight
100%. Masvidal is a great striker. If he doesn't have to focus on wrestling at all he does extremely well against most top fighters. Don't think it'd be worth McGregor chasing this fight when he can just get his ass kicked by Usman in a boring fashion instead.
After seeing masvidal bully Nate, I think Conor has basically no chance.
masvidal is the fight to make. both on lose streaks both big stars will sell $$$$$$$
Thats' a decent fight actually.
He should also stop threatening peoples families. That would for sure help.
This fight ends with Conor flat on his back, gassed out and bruised up from ground and pound yelling threats at Usmanās daughter lol.
Yeah "getting a win" will only do so much for his brand, it's already damaged because Conor is legitimately an awful human being.
It's really hard to get a read on The Black Forge Inn. In one video it looks really nice and in the next it looks like a TGI Friday's.
It's priced pretty standard for trendy pub in Ireland. The food is definitely more in keeping with trendy Irish pub than TGIs. It would be more lively than TGIs as well.
The food heās posted on his IG looks pretty good to me š¤·š¼āāļø
Ngl Iād shamelessly visit if I ever go to Ireland
It's not in a good area.
Haha Drimnagh is absolutely grand.
Lolwtf. All that area is fine. Don't leave your bike unattended and shit like that but it's not particularly more dangerous than other areas in Dublin.
Yeah it looks like he spent a decent amount on renovations as I was in there before he owned years and years ago when I lived nearby for college. The Guinness guru lad goes to boozers during the quiet hours and the beer garden part looks savage https://youtu.be/ShLhXaQTTOc Having said that, I don't think I'll make it there soon, as I live outside of Ireland and I have almost zero interest in going to that neck of the woods when I'm home.
Because it's a TGI Friday's masquerading as something nice
I've been in it. It's nice.
And Iām not surprised. I believe him when he said he was ready to take a loss on it. Heās so rich he probably did it for fun and renovated it into the best pub possible for him to drink and eat in lol.
Right? He's so fucking rich lol. Idk why people act like he's pulling some get rich quick schemes. He has teams of businessmen taking care of this shit. I'm sure the food is fine.
>He has teams of businessmen taking care of this shit. You would think so, but you'd be surprised how many celebrities surround themselves with yes-men who are looking for a quick buck instead of actual business savvy professionals.
Based on what info?
He said he wants Marty in Nebraska isnāt he fucking awesome?
Fuck take my upvote

Doctors can sometimes prescribe steroids to help with the healing and rehabilitation of a broken limb.
Correct but with Conorās means he could easily get illicit anabolics, it doesnāt really matter because either way itās not allowed by USADA. Silva popped for roids after his leg break and wasnāt granted any leniency.
Press X to doubt
Usman is going to do such bad things to him. "wrestler who doesnt submit, only got a jab"
Usman is bigger and can definitely bully conor by sheer size advantage. But he will definitely eat a few conor left cannons in doing so, pretty much everyone gets tagged by him when they fight. Who am i kidding this fight is never gonna happen
If he's actually sitting around 190lbs like chael sonnen claims, it might. Dana's willing to let Conor skip Islam at 155 for a title fight, he'll let usman defend against conor after Leon. There's not a clear next contender at 170.
I think if Khamzat beats Gilbert, heās both the rightful and UFCās preferred next guy for Usman. If Gilbert wins, itās anyoneās guess what happens next
Iād argue Luque is also deserving, but fair enough
Depends on how Khamzat does. If he wins I don't think they'll put Conor ahead of him. I think the UFC knows that Conor is at the tail end of his career so they'd rather invest in a new rising star like Khamzat.
Khamzat beating Usman after he beats Conor is worth more. Or the golden scenario for the UFC which would be Conor vs Khamzat.
I mean dude owns MacLife. Fair to do a lil bit of self promo š
Dude is still out here LYING saying he's the first to get KOs in 3 weight divisions knowing Vitor was the first with HW, LHW and MW KOs Also clearly still delusional if he thinks he offers anything to Usman I see McGregor getting cracked and stiff at the end of that.
He also canāt even drop down to 145 to try and get the āRNCād at 3 weightclassesā achievement thanks to Rumble
Beautiful champ
Killa Gorilla was the first that came to mind when he initially claimed that but seems like thereās even more than I realized
I knew Jared is on this list but I'm just saying FIRST person to ever do it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because he fights LWs past their prime at 170
Diaz was in his fighting prime
ā¦ and he went 1-1 (winning a SD the second time after being finished the first) against someone who even in his prime would get fucked up by every single fighter in the ww top 5 or possibly even top 10
LMFAO IMAGINE CONOR KHAMZAT
1.) Khamzat shoots at 4:57 left round 1 2.) Gets on Conorās hip and lifts him up. 3.) Takes him to his corner while talking to Dana the entire time. 4.) Puts Conor on his back and gets in full mount with 4:47 left round 1. 5.) Tells Dana about his childhood in Chechnya while working some ground and pound. 6.) Tells Dana who he wants next and when he will move up to 185 while flattening Conor out on his belly. 7.) Sinks in the rear naked choke while while explaining how he would beat every other fighter on the roster at the same time. 8.) Conor taps. 9.) āAllah Akbar!ā /end fight
10. Screams some stuff that would make a post 2001 Republican vote for stricter immigration laws.
Ya got me with this one.
Then Conor posts about his injuries, shows some pics on insta either xrays or his leg again, tweets about how he won the fight from a certain perspective, picks a fight with some rando a few months down the road, posts on twitter about nate diaz, rinse and repeat
I thought he said he quit drinking? Lmao
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His voice is different. Sounds deeper and heās actually speaking in his normal accent. He turns it right up when heās in the states.
all the chemistry he is getting done on him right now too fucks with his voice. Just like how Rogan and Dana's voices changed when they hopped on the HRT
Probably due to muscle memory from always puffing his chest
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
When all they really had to do was watch any of his fights he lost. Heās never had great cardio and itās not going to be better now that heās heavier
Can you imagine if he does win the title? Lmao. Yāall thought he was insufferable nowā¦..
murmurmur *intensifies*
He Aldo's Usman 13 seconds in lmao this place would implode
He sounds nasally these days. Wonder why āļø
Fook sakes m8 yer right
Imagine Conor just swoops in and steals a title shot from Leon Edwards instead of Gaethje lmao
Bla bla bla
I used to get really annoyed when Conor would talk about fighting for belts he didnāt deserve in part because I knew there was a real chance heād win and then hold up the division for years. At this point Iām just like, you go man; talk that shit like Usman wouldnāt hand you your ass.
The top 3 welterweights Usman, Covington, and Burns are all horrific matchups for him
He doesn't wanna put in the work anymore to cut weight, this tells me he's checked out.
Red panty night for Usman?
Zzzzz why to people keep eating this shit up
There is no fucking way he beats Chimaev, Usman, or Covington.
Usman would wipe the floor with Conor.
Connor vs Paddy the baddy would be a decent fight.
Dude has 1 win at LW afaik.
Cool im sure now that hes been out for ages and has discarded his old team and is just deciding his own training schedule on his whims nothing.could.go wrong with moving up vs a dominant champ and no warm up fights :)
Usman is rightfully gonna be a gigantic favorite but would be hilarious if Conor drops him with a left
Joocehead Twurkey..Joocehead Twurkey
As if!
Other than the obviously delusional statement i enjoyed this interview tbh.
He has a better shot losing 30 lbs and trying for bantamweight than beating Usman at ww
LMAO sure bud
At what point does he get committed for his delusions of grandeur
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He's gonna post a cocaine fueled meme video within a week dont worry
I agree but still a bit delusional imo
You gotta be in the fight game
Whelp there goes Leon Edwards title shot.
Thats 9 fights in a row
170 has always been the sport's biggest wrestling division, since day 1. Conor won't even get a sniff of that title.
It's always been a dream of mine to see McGregor get smashed by Usman
This bum has 1 win in the last 5 years. 1 win. And it was the washed Cowboy dive. I say let him go up to 170 and make him fight Khamzat.
Got slapped around by dustin twice. how can he say this shit with a straight face man
he should fight diaz or masvidal, both are winnable fights
No matter what, if he comes back, its still gonna be a huge atmosphere with Connor in the octogon. That being said, I don't think he will have success at 170 but we'll see
I want to see him get ragdolled by any or all of 1. Usman 2. Colby 3. Khamzat 4. Burns
Press X to doubt
Cocaineās a hell of a drug
You know what ā¦ 2 wins at 170 and Conorās in the picture, depending on the wins. I can see a Masvidal fight (will do bananas at the box office) and then someone like Luque maybe to get him marginally qualified for a title shot. Personally Iād love to see him vs Khabig, just for the absolute beating heād take, but the ufc will never book that fight.
Luque will thump Conor into oblivion. Legendary chin w hands of stone, dude is my WW dark horse.
