How many of you would it take to beat McGregor?

He's an extremely fit guy so I think he would knock out quite a few of my clones before he got tired enough for one of me to beat him. It'd be at least 20. I used to box, so maybe with strictly boxing rules, I could whittle that number down to something a bit more respectable.
One at a time, maybe like 10-20 (maybe 30), hard to really judge, definitely double digits and 10 is probably insanely optimistic. Fewer if I didn't get knocked the fuck out super early each time (and at my fittest points), more if he landed blows to the head (and at my less fit points). I could never beat him if he also got a stamina refill, obviously.
All at once, I figure three if none got knocked out immediately. He could probably manage two pretty easy, but three just becomes too many targets to track at once.

You're pretty good.

2x max imo.
Connor is a middleweight.
Weight matters quite a lot in fights in 1 on 1 circumstances, let alone a 2 on 1.
The guy isn't god or something.

Maybe 2 people bigger than him with decent wrestling experience. Dude can only fight standing up. Maybe if you make him put his title on the line then 0 people.

He'd probably take me in a few punches/holds every time so probably 60+, if it takes a minute each time he might be done after an hour.

Why is it so terrible to expect threads to explain what they're about? It doesn't even have his full name. And the McGregor I know best is Ewan, and I expect that to be true for most people who aren't into watching people beat each other up.
Pretty sure he would one hit ko all of my clones.
Maybe the cloning machine will malfunction before his arm gets tired, I guess.

When I enter a thread I don't know nothing about (which happens really often), I just highlight what I want to know, right click, search it with google and get a grasp of what the thread it's about. It isn't hard. :/

I don't think this really goes under "common knowledge". And the OP didn't even mention his first name.

I'd assume common sense would state that the thread title being about fighting would mean you aren't fighting the McGregor who's job is acting but the McGregor who's job is fighting.

Maybe 50 maybe 100, maybe 500.
Tactic is try to kick him in the dick before he lands a punch, if I strike first 1 in 15 times I reckon 5-10 dick kicks will take their toll eventually

If someone said McGregor was a great actor I would naturally think Conner...

But I wasn't aware of the second person, so I was enticed to know what all this about beating up Obi-Wan was about. Is he allowed to use his lightsaber? Force powers?
But I apologize, and will now leave you guys to it.

I'm scrawny as all heck so he could take about a good number of me with one hitter quitters. I'm gunna say about 10-15 of me before fatigue even begins to set in, so let's say around 25-30 pinkos to beat him.

correct about everything
i don't know anything about fighting, but it looks like the big dude could take him down pretty much any time he wanted if that was a legit fight.
mcgregor is no bruce lee.

I dont know.
Ive got 6" and more than 100lbs on him. But I have no fight training. I have played American football and know how to leverage my weight. So I guess maybe 4 or 5 cause he would get tired.

I've boxed on off for 10 years
Have also been training Muay Thai, Wrestling and BJJ for a few years as well so I at least have some kind of combat sport/martial arts experience.
I think it would take 51 of me to beat McGregor.
The logic is that it will take him approximately 1 minute to put me away. Im basing this on my ability to evade damage for the first 30-40 seconds. The maximum time that a MMA fight lasts is 25 mins (for a 5 rounder) so if Conor has to KO 25 of me (and we all last roughly a minute) then after 25 mins he might be a little tired. Give him another 25 of me and by that point he might be even more tired. At which point I can come in and hopefully grind out a decision.

I didn't say he would win. I just said he's trained with someone that size.

Looks more like The Mountain playing with a little child lol
Do the corpses of my clone litter the ring, or do they magically disappear? The additional distraction of my dead bloated carcasses littering the ground could prove challenging for both opponents.
If yes, carcasses stay, 40
If no, carcasses disappear, 50-60?
I used to think about doing martial arts, so I have some background

He's actually a lightweight UFC Fighter (not a middleweight) and probably walks around at 175lbs or something like that.
That being said the average person has absolutely no idea what it's like to try and fight a professional fighter - especially a professional fighter of this caliber. I guarantee you 99% of this forum wouldn't even be able to land a single clean punch or kick on Conor over 12 rounds of boxing or Muay Thai. The Black belts in BJJ on this forum may have a better shot but I expect one clean shot from Conor (and he WILL land on you) would KO you instantly or at the very least turn your black belt level BJJ skills into blue belt level BJJ skills very quickly.

Looked him up, he is 145lbs.
This basically.
This guy's profession is being the best at beating people. I'm sure he'd KO 90% of this forum with 1 shot to the head.

Ewan is Scotish so he would be up for a fight.
I would say a couple as i have let myself go the past week.

One. Because I apparently cease to exist when I lose. I will do whatever it takes to win and I'm supremely confident in my survival instincts. Even if I have to literally tear his throat with my teeth or pull his eyeballs out. So while I'd never accept this deal my only choice if forced into it is to accept that I have only one possible outcome: winning.
Make a plan for victory, not a plan for defeat.

My strategy would be to train one day with Chuck Liddell so I get really good at eye gouging. Then I could imagine after 3-5 fights I'd blind him completely and beat him.

Don't we have gun owners in Neogaf? So 1.
Great question, OP. It would actually make an interesting game, where you pick traits for each version of yourself and then watch how each one does.
You'd be set a limit of fighters and trait changes - better at kicking, more stamina, left handed, footwork etc.- and you'd have to see how each one did against the AI.
It would take at least 100 of me. At least. It would be more about attrition and exhausting him, to the point where he's so tired he's basically unable to fight back and can't resist a choke or armbar.

That's after cutting weight.
It'd take like 100 of me. I'm a big guy at 6'4" 245lbs, but I'm not in decent shape whatsoever. I have no martial arts training. This dude would be running circles around me. It would be incredibly hard for me to land even a single blow. I would just have to hope I can make him expend enough energy to exhaust him, so I can actually get my hands on him.

He'd probably wear down after a few hours of mercilessly beating my clones. Assuming I rushed him, got knocked out, and respawned almost immediately.

He weighs about 150 pounds. There's only so much force something that size can deliver.
Many of you don't realize how much weight changes the dynamic of a fight. It's the entire reason why weight classes exist.
A bigger guy gets a hold of him or gets on top of him and it's over.

Real answer = a few hundred
Exactly what I was thinking lol :-D

In all reality the I would give up without fighting, but assuming I'm trapped in some sort of twisted alien reality show where they just Force people to infinitely respawn and fight...
I would go down in one hit, two max, and there's no way I could land a hit on him, let alone one that would actually be effective. My best plan would be to exhaust him with just knocking out/ killing me over and over. I'm going to assume he could do that all day, so a minimum of 9600-11520 if it takes him roughly 5-6 seconds to knock me out and can last 16 hours.
Even more if I just respawn right in front of him, and he doesn't have to wait for me to shuffle over to get knocked out.

Well being a member of GAF, my enormous cock would actually choke him out from afar, so just one of me would knock him out
