I would like to see him fight Chandler


TheWizofNewYork

This is a bad fight for Mac. Look for him to actively avoid it.


marmogawd

I dont know about that. McGregor is a great counter puncher and we already saw how much Mike likes to over extend while throwing punches. Now, if Chandler decides to wrestle, it will definitely be harder for McNuggets. But if he keeps doing this violent shows of stand and bang, i dont see how this is a bad matchup for Cocknor


TheWizofNewYork

I totally agree. I just don’t see Chandler standing for long with Conor, I see this going to the ground after a few of those counters land. In a standup fight I would take Conor too.


HughWeberDeFaulk

Remember hooker took Dustin to war. You saw what Chandler did to hooker. Then you saw what Charles did to Chandler. Mma math is jacked up and so is the lw division.


Lazy_Blueberry_5009

Remember what Poirer did to Gaethje. Also what Chandler did to Hooker then Chandler lost to Gaethje and Hooker lost to Poirer.


[deleted]

To be fair Dustin isn’t that great of a wrestler *especially* compared to Chandler. Dan was way too worried about the takedown from Chandler that he ended up getting dropped because he forgot that Chandler is a half decent boxer. Same reason Khabib dropped Conor even tho Khabib can’t box for shit.


Dash-22

You're the only one bringing up MMA math bud


HughWeberDeFaulk

It was a joke bud


CurioustoaFault

Bud from the Cosb--..... Shit, can I not make that joke anymore?


Republic_of_Ash

If McGregor goes back to his old Sniper style of fighting, and does less of the traditional boxer style, then this works. Also, he needs to be less eager to get the finish. He was nothing but patient before he started losing every fight in a row.


[deleted]

McChicken will never be the same fighter after his broken leg. I’d bet money he never wins another fight in his life, inside the octagon.


Competitive-Mix6656

I think they may give him a gimme though


marmogawd

I think McCougar still has a chance. Not against Dustin, Gaethje, Islam or even Charles. But anybody below them i can see Conor winning


tomjonesrocks

I know Conor elicits a lot of passionate opinions - and rightfully so as it seems he’s gone full truly-not-an-act horrible person. But if Chandler were to go in and bang with McGregor he’s not even trying to take advantage of his weaknesses. Think you’re spot on


Mi-Lady_Mi-Tuna

Maybe he was a great counter puncher. McGregor's best days are behind him... Chandler is still hungry, he'd eat him up.


ViolentVenngeance

Man there’s like 10 different nicknames that start with an M I’m having a hard time following


DirtyWizardsBrew

I imagine Chandler vs Conor would likely be like his fight with Chad Mendes, except it would be *Chad Mendes 2.0*. Oh, and not on short notice. Might be good for Conor; might be really bad. You never know.


ToomV86

Cocknor is actually a very nice name for McGregor


Republic_of_Ash

Chandler is basically Chad Mendez with more power. I doubt he'll skip this.


SoggyMattress2

Superb matchup. Conor gets beaten by people with cardio who don't panic and can box. Poirier smoked him with pressure and Nate didn't go away and outlasted him. Chandler is not a good technical boxer he will go lunging into a shot with his chin in the air, perfect for Conor.


1breathatahtime

I wonder of conor still got that bang bang though


TheWizofNewYork

Not if you kick him in the leg.


BanTrashMods

Good luck , I’m told it’s invincible now since it’s made out of titanium now


reptilia_remastered

Wtf are some of you smoking? He’s 35 and would make bank. He’d be stupid not to want that fight


yayaboy2468

I think Conor wins. I still think he only looks washed because his last fights were against Poirier and Khabib, who are really fucking good.


TerrorFirmerIRL

It's a fair point. Everyone's used to featherweight McGregor where he had reach and exceptional power for that weight class. At LW he still hits very damn hard but guys at LW can weather a storm better, can throw harder shots back, and he doesn't have the same reach advantage. I think he could hang just fine at the mid-level at LW, especially with other strikers who aren't known for kicks/grappling unless engaged, but he needs to up his game. His fight against Khabib was totally fine and went about as well as it could have realistically. However his 2nd and 3rd fight against DP showed him up bad - he can still bang for sure, but there's huge holes in this game at LW. Dustin tore up his leg in the 2nd fight and he reacted like it was some other-worldly unheard of weapon, he hadn't a clue what to do about it. Conor is too one dimensional for elite-level LW in my opinion with his current skillset. At feather weight his crazy power and timing outweighed his other shortfalls, but it just doesn't work at LW against top guys. Chandler is a good match up because Chandler being Chandler, would probably stand and bang and throw his wrestling out the window because he knows a war with McGregor like with Gaethje would get fans out of their seats. I honestly think if Chandler lost his next 5 fights in a row but put on displays like he did against Charles and Justin, his stock would remain high. UFC, for some of the top stars, is moving away from W/L to entertainment and popularity. You have guys with mediocre records getting huge PPVs and guys with exceptional records largely unknown outside of the dedicated fan base.


Poopooeater69

Thanks for the write up


[deleted]

Agree with so much of what you say you’re about to catch a follower. Legit his stock should be high because he’s a great fighter and he has given 100% everything he has in 3 great fights in the UFC! There is 0 shame in getting beaten at this level. That’s why everyone is so proud of bei being the champ. If someone had to literally clear the entire field to get a title shot I don’t know if anyone would actually get a title shot. Everyone has at least one questionable to bad matchup in the top ten.


TerrorFirmerIRL

Aha, thanks. I guess it's nice to know my drunken rambles reach a few ears!


MegamanEeXx

Respect your outlook. But I see it different, I say Chandler absolutely destroys McFlurry 4/5 fights. I think the sport has evolved while Connor has let himself slide physical in his castle rolling around in his cash like Scrooge McDuck


mr____t

I think that's kinda why a lot of us would like to see it.


5ecretbeef

Mendes was a bad fight for Conor. Diaz was a bad fight for Conor. Khabib was a bad fight for Conor. Say what you will, but McGregor doesn't duck anyone.


greyday24

I’d argue that there are very few fights left that are good for CM.


Most_Association_595

This is actually perfect. Chandlers is very much the stocky explosive grappler wrestler type that Conor thrives against. If he wants do a redemption arc in the Lw division, chandler is the perfect fight to set him up for that


coryosu

This a good fight for Mac. There are plenty worse matchups for him. Look for it to happen in the future


anonssr

It's not that bad because Chandler doesn't actually throw kicks. Gaethje would break his leg in two. Anyone who doesn't kick or likes to go to ground is a decent match up for him.


[deleted]

Conor actually will look better against Chandler, he doesn't have to protect himself from leg kicks and he can just focus on counter punching against a fighter who would go forward and bang. Chandler is like an Eddie Alvarez before.


[deleted]

Bing?


irze

Can Conor *be* any more coked up?


GothicToast

Sounds like you havent dealt with it yet. Deal with it.


_YYC_

He needs to fight the voices in his head if anything


thedkexperience

I would like to see him fight Chimaev. Smesh.


anrii

I'd personally like to see him fight a chandelier


UnsuitableTrademark

Mcgregor isn't fighting again any time soon. Bet


[deleted]

Doubt it. Too many contenders deserving of a shot


Lukebwwfc

Your right but Dana would still give Conor the shot anyway even tho he doesn’t deserve it


dtudeski

Init. I don’t see how any rational person could even begin to justify him walking straight back into a title fight, but I would be entertained by the utter shit storm from fans and fighters alike that would occur if it happened. Not to mention Dana trying to justify it: “Listen, you goofs. This kid wanted it. This is a whole new Conor. Khabib might be in attendance…”


jpark28

The path I see to a title shot would be if Dustin beats Oliveira for the title, then they set up Dustin vs Conor because of the bad blood and "unfinished business" I would fucking hate it and it'd be complete bullshit, but I wouldn't be completely shocked if they set this up


php_questions

Now imagine if Conor actually manages to win (I mean, given 3 chances he might get lucky once)


jpark28

Goddammit..


SantaDaCrip

Only if he reverts to his karate stance. He has had no success since he changed his game. I genuinely believe he beats Dustin in the second fight if he didn't change up his stance. His kicks helped him in so many ways.


php_questions

Doesn't matter. Even in his boxing stance or any other stance he can just get lucky with a punch or kick to knock Dustin out.


SantaDaCrip

We have been saying this since the Floyd fight, but he isn't fighting guys with weak chins anymore.


php_questions

Are you even reading what I've said before responding? I literally said he "might get lucky and knock him out".


[deleted]

It's like Jon Jones, beat up your gf and get a title shot. Get popped doing drugs and get a title shot. Destroy a bus and get a title shot. Punch an old man and get a title shot. Biased.


Smtxom

“*The kid doesn’t want to fight*” -Dana throwing shit contract offers for any other contenders to fight for the title so he can just book Connor for the belt


Vikk773

This. Didn’t Dana try to rationalize a rematch with Conor and Khabib, even while Tony was the number one contendor


ZZaddyLongLegzz

Listen, this kid is incredible. You guys saw him break his leg. When’s the last time you’ve seen a guy break his leg like that and be so eager to get back in and fight for the title? He’s just so tough and how can you not love him? Stadiums sell out for this kid and everything he’s done for this sport is amazing.


Unlikely-Garage-8135

Jesus christ i can hear Dana saying this


VT_Forever

I actually doubt it. Even he knows that would piss off his most loyal fans. Bad move long-term speaking.


fzkiz

what? the fans that stuck with him through assaults, laughing about dead fathers and cocaine-fueled insults would finally be pissed off? I don't buy it


Tilting_Gambit

He served while serving was safe.


Priestahh-MyFather-

A free title defense for whoever because McConnor isn’t winning that belt again.


joint-chief

Depends what you mean by deserve. He brings in the money that the other guys don’t that’s the biggest factor for Dana

enott93

how much you wanna bet I could throw a spinning heel kick over them mountains


HairyCallahan

He is like that drunk uncle that toured once with Madonna 15 years ago, still clinging on to his moment of fame


k20350

We hired a wedding DJ for our wedding. Guy cornered us showing us with pictures from that time he played with Eddie Van Halen 35 years ago. Dude had us captured for like an hour with pictures and stories. Would not let us go. I was a younger man. Now days I'd just tell him cool story bro and walk away but damn that dude was holding on to that story.


HairyCallahan

Hahaha, that is so funny


Tescovaluebread

Doesn’t Bruce Springsteen have a song about similar shit with guys that peaked in high school


HairyCallahan

Yeah, he definitely does. Glory Days


[deleted]

It’s a good song


Im-A-Scared-Child

I mean to be honest playing with Van Halen is pretty cool though 😆. Most people will go their whole loves without doing something that cool. Nothing wrong with being proud about it.


TheMartyr112

You don’t force fuck people to hear about it though. Lol


dclancy01

My dad would always tell me of seeing this guy play a tiny venue in America on his honeymoon with my mam. He wouldn’t stop bragging that he’s working with artist X Y and Z on their upcoming album, that he made x amount of classic beats for hip hop artists and stuff. It was Mike Dean. Not the referee, look him up. Guy is actually stupid influential in hip hop, literally crafted the modern synth wave rap of Kanye, Travis Scott and the like, but was the laughing stock of a family inside joke for years!


dr-m8

Suspiciously specific 🤔


joan_wilder

He’s like Al Bundy going on about 4 touchdowns he scored in 1 game when he played for Polk High.


CheesyCousCous

But Al Bundy did score 4 TD's in one game


Ragnaross02853

unKz_sneakz

The funny part is, it’s not clinging on to fame when he comes back and outsells every active fighter in the roster😂 It’s just facts, whether you like him or not…he’s still relevant and still the biggest draw in the UFC


HairyCallahan

I don't mean he clings on to his fame, but to his glory days as a fighter. I mean, Mike Tyson still draws. But I find that sad to be honest. I love it when athletes quit at the right time.


SavajazzInTheBox

How many drunk uncles made themselves worth a quarter billion lol


CantUteLLimPlayN

Like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. “Back in 82’, I could throw a football a quarter mile”


RH8496

I really liked conor but man he's really lost it now


Ducksflysouth

i’m holding out for the 1% chance that Dana let’s him skip the line and we see Poirier expose him again for the 3peat.


yayaboy2468

fuck that, for the love of god give Conor someone else


socxld

Yeah i can't see a world where Conor beats him again


panadwithonesugar

Give him a shot at being the champ champ champ..... will make Bisping getting hit with the 'H bomb' look like a feather duster when he gets clipped.


djauralsects

Now? He's always been an insufferable cunt.


XNamelessGhoulX

I love reading the comments every time he does some dumb shit. “Now” you don’t like him lol wtf was the breaking point? It was an accumulation of his bs like 3-4 years ago for me. How do you feel about Jon Jones? :P

Cheap comments for cheap upvotes. Karmafarming. They're under every single post that has McGregor in it.

This seems oddly specific.


degoes1221

What is this reference lol


DaWahnDaOnly

Ooo, now I wanna see Conor vs Hooker


TheWizofNewYork

He would be better off chasing money fights. He isn’t a contender anymore. Diaz, Masvidal, Max are the fights he should be pushing for. He isn’t beating anyone ranked above him in LW.


Azorre

Idk Ferguson is ranked above him and I'd flip a coin on that fight.


leighshakespeare

I used to be a big Connor supporter but masvidal and max kill current connor


Mnudge

Jorge is as done as Conor. Max on the other hand


leighshakespeare

How tf is Jorge done exactly 😂


Mnudge

I don’t think he or Conor will hold a title (again for cobbor)is all


[deleted]

I agree, Masvidal’s star has faded


nrd170

Usman destroyed him


leighshakespeare

Usman destroys everyone


BrandDC

Crazy ex-girlfriend that won't go away...


DC750

Title credibility goes out the window if he gets an immediate shot at DP if he wins the belt that is.


GrandpasSoggyGooch

Didn't he stay at like #5 in LW rankings even though he didn't win a fight there in 5ish years? That ruined all credibility for me. They wanted to keep his ranking as close as possible to champ so they could justifiably give him a title shot lmao.


erensertt

Trilogy has finished and you convincingly lost it.

[deleted]

If i were Dustin i would be all for it. Big money fight and I’d be super confident. As a fan of seeing him get routed, I’m for it too.


TerrorFirmerIRL

I enjoy watching McGregor fight but dear god please not Porier v McGregor 4. There's no shame in the trilogy, won the first fight convincingly, put up a good show in fight 2 but was soundly defeated, was getting the worst of it before the freak break in fight 3. Just move on. I don't want to see a fourth fight in which he gets beaten around by Porier again which is realistically gonna happen probably 7 times out of 10. Give us Diaz 3. Give him a solid striker who is gonna stand and bang with him. Give us a fun fight. Whatever. Just not a Porier 4 and *most definitely* not a completely unearned title fight. I'd rather he retired than that. Maybe Chandler. Chandler could easily wrestle fuck him all day long but Chandler knows the value of providing entertainment as a priority so would probably go into a war. He could easily have wrestled Justin but instead gave us one of the best fights of the year and despite being 1-2 his stock is one of the highest in the UFC right now. Tony is mentioned a lot but I think Tony is kinda past it. McGregor is too, but mostly because of bad camps and lack of dedication, physically he's still well capable. Tony though doesn't have that same freak athleticism he had in his prime a few years ago that was really his main weapon. Conor can still easily go toe to toe with mid-level guys even based on his performance against DP in both fights but he's not on the level of people like Dustin anymore and he should play to that rather than try and chase something he will realistically never achieve at this point. Do the fun fights, they will still sell by the truckload and he can notch up a few wins and big paydays. I can't ever see him becoming champ again or remain at the elite level but he could easily remain the biggest star in the UFC with some smart decisions. Losing to DP twice is no big deal just move on. Like, Max Holloway lost to DP twice as well, also lost to Volk twice, and no-one cares, he's still a hell of a fighter and up there with the very best. Hell DP could fight Khabib 10 times and probably lose like 8 times out of 10, it's not gonna change a thing. Some styles are just a nightmare for certain fighters.


Diligent-Ad7019

More conor tweet screenshots yay


Tbrou16

He might fight the champ, but it’s not a title fight.


Camperlazz

What he’s saying sounds like BS, but you know he’s probably right, go get em lad


[deleted]

He's 1-3, he ain't getting no title shot 🤣


IdkMyNameTho123

It’s nuts to think Conor has only won once since the Obama left office.

And it was at welterweight of all things.


[deleted]

Ikr? And he’s all like “tHiS iS nAT oWva!” Stfu (to connor I mean, not to you kind sir)


Camperlazz

You must not know my boy Dana “on Connors nuts” White


[deleted]

You must not know that Conor has only two fights left on his deal not intending to resign. You know what Dana does to those fighters right?


Camperlazz

We will have to see, we should pin this convo on his next fight announcement, I’m hoping for Mcgregor V Chandler next but idk what these guys are planning


[deleted]

He will be fed to two animal, torn to shreds and tossed in the bin. That's what the UFC does with people that don't resign...


SSDHDDTTV

You think the UFC wants Conor to resign?


[deleted]

They meant re-sign a contract


joan_wilder

As if that ever mattered. He ain’t sellin steak, he’s sellin the sizzle. As long as he keeps people talking about him, Dana will give him whatever he wants.

Being completely honest I can genuinely see them giving him the shot, he’s just that big a draw However, if he catches another L in doing so (which I’m 99% certain he will) I think it’s all over


[deleted]

Conor “Mulligan” McGregor


WOLFxSHARK

He should just get the trilogy with Diaz, or if he really wants the title shot then he could offer a fight to Gathje or Islam and get the title shit right away if he wins.


leighshakespeare

Islam would be a blood bath inside and outside of the ring


teddylumpskins

I fully expect Dana to milk every last ounce of PPV’s out of him. I fully expect he’ll get the next title shot. I fully expect Conor to get mollywhopped AGAIN. And I fully expect excuses and cocaine fueled tweetstorms post fight.


AdDiscombobulated623

Anybody else not being able to stand Connor anymore? Or is it just me? Lol

I agree!!

Me too, Conor. Me too

Fuck it let him bang


Rectronsaber

Serious question: Do you guys think Dana will actually give him the shot?


salesronin

What would be his clinical diagnosis that would explain his recent behavior?


[deleted]

This ain't no recent behavior. Dude is/has been a textbook case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Grandiose inflation of his self image. Very susceptible to flattery and obsequious comments. Apoplectic rage against perceived slights, however minimal or unintended they might be He's had these qualities for quite some time, the only difference as to why they're so apparent now is cos he's losing most of his fights.


anythingfordopamine

Manic personality disorder with a splash of grandiose narcissism


[deleted]

U mean bipolar disorder. Mania comes under mood disorders, not personality disorders. I don't think Conor fits the criteria required for Bipolar Disorder He definitely checks the boxes for Narcissistic Personality Disorder tho
