Back in 2014-2017 it was such a highlight but this time fighting abroad which can't be helped and Conor being all respectful makes it a bit boring to be honest. I think it's because we know what Conor is really like that it's hard to get into one of his fights the same but he's obviously a very exciting fighter in the cage. I'm exactly the opposite. I could never really be arsed with all his shite outside the cage. His coked-up bollocks before the Khabib fight and his fake patter in pressers for fights before that. I've always felt that he was an exciting (if overrated) talent in the cage, and I still look forward to his fights. He's never in a boring scrap, and I have always looked forward to a McGregor fight once the bell rings. This is no different. I'm glad to see him be respectful of Poirier. What exactly do those who want the shit-talk expect him to say? He's a family man who does a ton for charity. What can McGregor do? Tear into him about that? Nah, I want to see two handy lads step into the cage and give us a good fight. Let's get McGregor back to basics. He needs less controversy and to be training and competing more. I know there was something about a boat and some girl who said he was inappropriate a while back, but I really hope he screws the nut and gets his act together. As much as I don't like him personally, no one should want to see a father and husband come apart and inevitably become a wreck and probably penniless in his 40's & 50's.

jimufctna24 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) It's difficult to get a read on how good McGregor is at this stage of his career. His last top-level winner was over 4 years ago against Eddie Alvarez. Since then, he's only fought twice in MMA. The first of which, he was mauled by Khabib, a defeat that has become more excusable with time. Gaethje and Poirier, two top-level fighters, were defeated by Khabib in similar fashion. The second of which, McGregor smashed through Cerrone, who while a decent fighter, isn't anywhere near an elite level fighter at this stage of his career. Therefore, the Poirier fight will probably tell us whether McGregor still has what it takes to be an elite-level fighter at 155lbs. It's a 50/50 fight in my eyes, but I have picked Poirier, simply because I want him to win and because I have a man-crush on Mike Brown (his trainer).

David Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Exactly. Which is why we need McGregor to be less focused on his clothing choices, insults and pre-fight shenanigans and to focus on training and fighting on the reg the next year or two. He needs to, as the kids say, get back in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 22, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2021 He's saying all the right things at the moment, and seems to want to do what he'd planned in 2020 in 2021. Im hoping it pans out and he stays active this year, because away from all the antics and controversy, at the core he's a must-see fighter in the cage, and no one comes close to generating the level of interest and intrigue as McGregor.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2021 Dana thinking he’s hard is hilarious. Didn’t realise fight promoters had the authority to watch someone’s house, bug their phonecalls and actually prosecute people themselves.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2021 Fucks sake. Ottman Azaitar has done something naughty apparently. Sounds like he’s gone out of the bubble on Fight Island or something. His fight with Matt Frevola is off. Tsarukyan vs Haqparast is off as well so it’s now Frevola vs Tsarukyan. Was really looking forward to seeing Azaitar back in there as well. What a donut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 22, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2021 What a fucking idiot. You finally make it to the big time, and fuck it all up for some stupid bit of wrangling? Almost as bad as the idiots who get done for weed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
