How many of you would it take to beat McGregor?

LOL yeah starcraft esports vs McGregor
I mean the only way I'd be able to win is to somehow game the system or fight dirty in some ways as I'm not beating him in a straight up fight. Perhaps I'd just run away from him till he's about to catch me and just give up and start the next match with a fresh copy and do the same thing over and over till Conor has been there for 2 days straight with no sleep or food.
Even at the same time, 2 people? Yea right. He would slide the first one and toy with the second one.

Well yeah, the best strategy IMO is tire him out by making him move as much as possible (so just run around), then eventually get KO'd clean or choked out. Rinse and repeat until he's done from straight exhaustion.
This sounds like a fucking nightmare. Can you imagine facing him over and over? I would have PTSD for sure.
It would take me hundreds of tries. I might actually be trapped there until he collapses from exhaustion and lack of food/water. Given how short the fights would be, that would def be hundreds of fights.

Dude, the mountain was manhandling him like he was a child. There's a point where he grabbed his wrist and was just moving his arms around any way he wanted. He could have utterly destroyed him.

It's a fight. Not boxing.
McGregor could likely beat every boxer in the world in his weight class in a street fight

Yeah, him.
So are we talking Star Wars McGregor or Black Hawk Down McGregor? This is an important distinction

Connor McGregor
5' 9"
155lbs of lean muscle
LordKasual
6' 4"
250lbs of quesadillas
I wouldn't particularly be afraid of him on the street to be completely honest. Nearly 100lbs more massive and with alot more range.
Of course, his day job consists of beating the shit out of people...but that's people more or less the same size as him, I would at minimum be 2 weight classes above him. 2-3 of me would probably do alright. I'm positive that two of me at once could beat him no issue, he just has to get grabbed once.
I'd be alot more afraid of him grappling me into submission or trying to tire me out than him just striking me down TBH. With the reach difference, the chance of him hitting me without me being able to reprisal is pretty low.
This is comical lol. Outside of the cleanest of hits to vital areas, I don't even think McGregor could damage Björnsson.

I think it would depend on how quickly the next me materialized, and where.
If I was ready to go within a second from my last KO'd heap, and showed up on any side of him, I could possibly damage him within 10 incarnations due to surprise attacks.
If he was able to get set for each round then he'd last quite a long time before gassing I'd imagine.

He would most likely annihilate every single person on GAF in a one on one situation. The man fights elite fighters who have trained for a lifetime and destroys them most of the time. How many will he get through? Depends on how fast he gets completely and utterly winded to where he can't even move anymore.
For those thinking size maters I'm assuming he could just kick your knee out in about two seconds.

Movies love to undermine this, but size absolutely matters. It doesn't matter how dangerously skilled you are in unarmed combat, mass will always be a huge factor.
This reminds me of those funny "Bruce Lee vs. Mike Tyson" debates, as if Bruce Lee would stand any kind of chance against someone with so much raw power and defense. Possible? Sure, but he only has to fuck up once.
Maybe if the significantly heavier/stronger person you're fighting just has zero regard for his weakpoints, sure. Otherwise...what is your advantage?
Yeah sure, speed is one thing, but if theres no such thing as scoring or match time, you have to engage them to beat them.

Maybe 6. 4 of us each grab a arm or leg the other two take turns kicking him in the chest and face.

The first one would be me just getting insta killed but the second me would point out to him the crazy scifi shenanigans happening and tell him that I'm here from the future to stop a huge calamity from happening but in order to do that we need to change history right now and he needs to surrender the fight. He'd propably go for it after seeing my clones.

I'll take it a step further. He would likely beat any boxer south of HW in a street fight. He walks around at 170. And, while he's not a great grappler by UFC standards, he'd be playing 8D chess against any boxer he got ahold of.
EDIT: Some of you guys are hilarious. "Well, I'd be a lot bigger than him....I'm in man shape....blah, blah." He would absolutely light you the fuck up. All of you. Any of you. You're not rolling with or sparring with anyone on his (or any current high-profile UFC fighter's) plane of existence at your local strip mall, ya' nincompoops.
You're not incorrect, but truth is that people lose to less skilled fighters than themselves all the time in the streets. This fight would of course be in the ring and supposedly with rules so yeah you're almost definitely right in this case. I guess my point is that while you're right, it's not a theoretical impossibility for him to be beaten by someone less skilled if that individual had experience and a lot of weight and a whole lot of luck.

He'd probably get a clean knockout on me every single time. One punch at a time would take thousands of me to wear him down from exhaustion

I've been lifting weights for way more than 10 years, but that ain't worth shit. I've studied some karate and some taekwondo but I'm not even qualified to be a white belt (I always stopped after a few months as I couldn't stand spending the session doing katas and whatnot).
Anyway... Clones of myself, one after the other? By attrition... 20-30, maybe (I bet he could knock me down with a single blow). But only if the next clone remembers what the previous ones did.

Yeah but it's not a match between two trained professionals that are different sizes. It's one of the worlds best and a guy from a forum who more than likely is not one of the worlds best.
I mean, this is a scenario where literally everyone would eventually beat him through fatigue, the difference is only how many it would take.
My plan would probably be to just rush in and get a few leg kicks in. Even if he knocks me out right after, after like 20-30 versions of me his legs are basically mush.
You're as useless as a wet noodle though. So it will just be Edge.

Probably more than 25.. Dude is bound to get tired at some point though.
He's smaller than me though.

Nah, he'd be gassed punching out 100 people who were just running around the ring without fighting back.
*taking notes*
- Double posts = not a big deal
- Asking who someone is = a big deal
Jokes aside I knew who the OP was talking about and I have never seen the guy's face I don't think or watch his sport.
Anyway, I guess 40 or 50. i dunno how many people you need to knock out in one hit before you start to get comedically sloppy.

I've never watched this guys matches, or really much of any UFC at all, but based on my training I think as long as I keep him at mid-long range I should hold out okay, but the second he grabs me it's game over. Of course he's a professional fighter and I just do martial arts as a hobby, so I feel like avoiding and keeping him at range will be pretty difficult, but I think I could do it with single digit numbers.

The posts I was referencing weren't really taking the multiple attempts/fatigue into account. Half the replies in this thread are from people that didn't even read the first post.

Can I team up with him to beat myself?

The point i'm making is that just because he's the world's best featherweight-welterweight fighting champion doesn't mean he's going to beat anyone he goes up against for free.
Hell, with the size of some people posting, the fight would be considered unfair to McGregor IN UFC.
Just to take the personal aspect out of it:
Look at Charles Barkley. He's 6'6", about 260lbs
Look at Shaq. He's 7'1", about 325lbs .
They're 7 inches apart in height, and less than 100lbs difference in weight. (Fun fact, The Rock is 6'5, and very likely weighs more than Charles Barkley with more muscle.)
Connor McGregor is 5'9". Imagine a 6'4", non-skinny NeoGAF poser.
That's a 7 inch, less than 100lb difference.
Connor McGregor would look like Charles Barkley in this picture. He looks like Shaq's son.
That is a non-insignificant disadvantage for McGregor.
There should be a sticky FAQs at the top explaining all of these as well as what pre-workout is.
You got jokes sir.

Two. He's not heavy enough to need any more.
EDIT: Oh it's always one on one. I don't know. Need to work my cardio.
