David Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 McG's assessment of the fight with Khabib: Quote Round 1âs mine. Out struck 3-1. Elbow,knees,clatters! He held on. 2s his but I land multiple knees. One from standing after the overhand, and one from bottom into the eye socket at kimura attempt. Not a scratch end of round also. I won round 3, and 4 until the trip. Dude has been in lockdown too long or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted October 21, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) I used to think McGregor was being clever and just winding folk up / feeding that part of his fanbase that will believe him, but it's most definitely just him being delusional, sad and high.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted October 21, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2020 His whole insisting on every fight lately at 170lbs yet declaring himself as an active lightweight is driving me absolutely fucking spare. And more than it should be, because really, it doesn't have any bearing on my life at all, does it? But I also let people drinking coffee or tea out of a glass annoy me and interfere with my day, so here we are. Imagine he actually jumped to 170 full time (if ever there's a 'full time' for the lad anymore). He'd be absolutely murdered in there by a fair amount in that division. I just can't understand the reasoning in his brain, other than "Grand and handy" and "entitlement".  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 21, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2020 âMotivated Conorâ. Itâs funny because before the fight there was no talk of lack of motivation and if anything his fans were all saying Khabib was shitting himself after that cringefest of a press conference where Conor was clearly sniffed up and making even more of an arse of himself than usual. All you were hearing was how Conor was âin his headâ and Khabib was going to get sparked. After he gets thoroughly battered though, itâs because he wasnât motivated. OK. Also, Conor bragging about landing that knee from the âbottom into the eye socketâ? Thatâs an illegal blow. Not to mention repeatedly putting his manky little toes in the fence, grabbing the fence, digging his fingers into Khabibâs throat (as heâs admitted/bragged about before) and grabbing Khabibâs gloves and shorts. All that cheating and he still got fucking dominated. Itâs actually pretty sad and pathetic. Itâs been 2 years since that fight, almost to the day, and heâs still having to come up with shite like this so he can sleep at night. Not to mention claiming he had a broken foot (he didnât) and denying he said âitâs only businessâ (he did). And even if he was winning the fight 3-0 at the time of the stoppage (he fucking wasnât), what does it matter? He still tapped and lost the fight. Him and his legion of delusional worshippers like to act like he somehow came out on top of the whole Khabib saga and lost the battle but won the war. But he handled the loss terribly. He disappeared for ages after that, never fought for over a year and the only times youâd hear about/from him were when heâd get messed up on whatever he was taking and tweet nonsense. Or more seriously, the reports of sexual abuse, assault etc. He was already going off the rails before Khabib battered him, after that fight he went even more downhill and fast. It clearly eats away at him even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 22, 2020 Without even rewatching it I remember thinking Khabib won the first two rounds clearly. The third was close, couldâve been Conorâs. And then the forth is when the scorecards became redundant. It was as clear cut as can be. Conorâs just trying to repaint the narrative and his fans are either stupid or brainwashed/besotted enough to go along and parrot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted October 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 22, 2020 Thing is that, given the sheer focus McGregor has shown in past in terms of improving his abilities and progressing his career, a rematch with Nurmagomedov a few fights down the line might not have been completely unreasonable, but the direction he's taken since then would suggest he's just not there mentally any more. Beating a checked-out Donald Cerrone means fuck-all now; sure, he may have beaten a motivated Cerrone too, but not by much, and certainly not in his current state.

Moderators neil Posted October 22, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2020 Despite me reading and now commenting in this thread I find myself just being <partridge-shrug.gif> about McGregor these days. He's just not in contention for seemingly ANY title these days so all this grandstanding is just stupid. I find myself not caring at all whether he fights Poirier or not, and definitely not enough for him to come in and try and wreck existing cards in 2020 or beyond. I'm at the point where I'm ready for him just to fuck off for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sukhy Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I used to be a huge mark for McGregor, adored his rise through the UFC and the fight with Aldo literally had me jumping out of bed, but like a lot of people on here, his antics and the stories behind it have made me feel tired when hearing and reading about him. To the point where I was hoping for him to fight Masvidal and wanting Masvidal to knock him the fuck out. I suppose Conor will always talk shit and can still fall back on that "I got choked out rather than knocked out" excuse, but it must be wearing thin for even his die hard fans now right?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 22, 2020 I donât even think the âI got choked out not knocked outâ thing soothes him either though. A KO can be dismissed as a fluke. Itâs usually bollocks but thatâs what a fighter who gets knocked out can tell themselves. Chuck Liddell did it for years. âI just got caughtâ. Until he started âjust getting caughtâ every time he fought. You donât really get submitted by fluke. The act of taking someone down, achieving and maintaining a dominant position and then securing a submission shits all over that âit was a flukeâ talk. A guy put you there and kept you there long enough to sink in a sub, you usually knew it was coming and you still couldnât stop it. And you tapped. A knockout is something that happens to you. A submission is you being forced to admit defeat and either tap so heâll let go or you sleep or let your shit break. Thatâs probably what gnaws away at Conor more than anything. He basically conceded defeat twice that night. He was not only caught on camera asking for mercy with the âitâs only businessâ bollocks, he then had to tap and then sit there as Khabibâs 20 minute buildup of phlegm landed on him and he knew he could do fuck all about it. Yet somehow thereâs still people out there who think he got some kind of moral victory in the whole thing and Khabibâs running scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 22, 2020 Combat sports has a mental way of putting a spin on things at the top level. Its happened in the Loma/Lopez fight. There was disbelief when it had happened but once reports started surfacing that Loma had an injury going it was like it gave his fanbase the out there needed and order was restored for them. Its a strange game. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I had McGregor 2-1 up going into the 4th. I scored round 1 to McGregor. Conor showed the same fighting spirit that Bas Rutten showed against Kevin Randleman all those years ago. I'll just about give Khabib round 2, based on that lucky knockdown he scored. Round 3 was a clear McGregor round. I think McGregor would have won the final round had he survived Khabib's 4th round onslaught and grinded out a narrow decision win.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
