"making gang signs with one hand and balloon animals with the other" lollollollol

Was in absolute bits about that. I swear McGregor must watch every fighter and just have a list of things to have them off on.

Then how about you shut up regarding fighters who haven't fought in ages hey azul x


I can see it, myself. Bisping hasn't been pulling up trees lately, but Silva is 40 and has had one fight in over 2 years which he didn't look great in and tested positive for. Bisping goes in as the underdog but can definitely outwork him and get a decision.

Do you think Bisping will go for a take down? Try and mix it up, wear Silva out. One thing Bisping has is cardio for days, Silva not so much.

See RDA calling Conor out for not fighting Cerrone and picking Diaz instead.

He's gone down the Aldo route there, pulling out last minute and then cheering for the replacement fighter. Just makes him look like a scared fool. Surely if you were a UFC fighter you'd want Conor to beat everyone until he fights you, so you can be the one who put him away. Especially if you have a massive payday riding on it as well.

The king.

 

[JAYTALITY]

How's he winning that?

Probably by a first round nock out based on the majority of your Connor Mcgregor predictions

 

[JAYTALITY]

Fights at welterweight yano?

Diaz with a massive size and wright advantage

You favouring Diaz?

That press conference was hilarious. RDA is crazy, strictly from a fan perspective I would rather Conner fight Diaz over Cowboy. If Nate got into Cowboy's head the way he did before their fight, then I can only imagine what Mystic Mac would've done. I think Diaz is the tougher fight. Even if Conner does lose the fight will be overturned when Nate pisses hot for pot.

Who's Connor McGregor?

Who's Connor McGregor?

I know you wished he never existed but you're taking things to the extreme.

Serious answer, tough to call mate.

No idea what shape Nate's in or how prepared he is.

Just saying Nate towers over him which is the opposite of what Mcgregors used to. Nate ain't easy to KO though and he's fought some big lads, but neither was Aldo.

What I will say is if it goes to the ground (it won't), Nate could put on an absolute clinic. 11 submissions.

But we'll see, I think McGregor takes it on account of Nate not having a training camp, in other words he might not have the stamina to go 25 minutes so he'd have to finish Conor in the first 2/3 rounds to win it, and I don't see Diaz knocking him out so it'd almost have to be a submission for Nate to finish it, and Nate's not gonna go for takedowns so how does the fight end up on the mat? McGregor knockdown maybe?

That said Diaz has been training for a triathlon by all accounts, so back to square one, who tf knows.

Unless it goes to the ground for a long time I struggle to see how Diaz wins this. He's bigger, but he's never been in the same class as McGregor. If, and it's a big if, McGregor continues on this trajectory he'll be the best of all time.

Just think, a featherweight is headlining a card at weltwerweight having completely skipped 155. It's mental.

Ye was going to mention the triathlons, Fareplay to him for taking it on short notice but then again you'd be mad to refuse the money. Mcgregor slipped Mendez on the ground a few times, but then again and you said about Diaz submissions, i didn't know that. Mcgregor lost to a submission in his early ultimate fighter days in Ireland.

Agreed.

Funny how his career so far has mirrored the current best ever (you'll disagree) in Anderson Silva.

Couple of early losses, fought over this side of the pond before an amazing knockout (McGregor vs Buchiger and Silva that elbow), then getting signed by the UFC, being fast tracked to a title shot and winning the belt

Yeah both Diaz's are boss on the ground, but neither seem to use it unless the opportunity presents itself
