Moving up gives him a speed advantage and his technique stays the same super-high level. Size have somewhat of an effect, but it won't be nearly the difference maker you think. Especially against a guy like Cowboy. Against a super-pressure wrestler like RDA or Khabib? The size difference matters more. But not against Cowboy.

This logic works on the assumption Cerrone will beat RDA, which I'm not sure will happen, Dos Anjos stylistically is a very bad match up for Cerrone.

 

[SRTtoZ]

So was Mendes, so was Aldo, etc.

Cmon Mendes had no training camp and gassed, or else he would of had no problem holding him down for another few rounds like he did already and Aldo tried to prove a point and stand with him. Guys will figure out they shouldn't try and prove points because Conor has legit standup and KO power. It's going to take a grappler with a gameplan to beat him just like the other 2 losses on his record.

Bisping "Conor McGregor is a bigger star than Floyd Mayweather."

lol

If Mayweather woke up tomorrow with Conor's money, he'd have to take a loan out to buy a solid-gold gun to shoot himself with.

Pettis vs. McGregor would be absolutely amazing. McGregor will fight the fight Pettis likes and vice-versa.

This logic works on the assumption Cerrone will beat RDA, which I'm not sure will happen, Dos Anjos stylistically is a very bad match up for Cerrone.

Well I was originally responding to the idea that Cowboy is a bad fight for McGregor.

Is Rockhold trolling with his cellulitis?

 

[Fitts]

Some guys look good in a suit. Maia is not one of those guys.

 

[Max_Po]

This is only my second ever UFC event. If you haven't been taken to hospital is the post-match press conference mandatory?

Hmmm not sure

With hindsight, sure, all that is possibly true.

But it's what everyone was saying before the fight, that Mendes would wrestle McGregor out of it. My point is it gets said a lot, that X fighter is a bad match up for McGregor.

 

[zewone]

Sounds like Dana would want Conor to vacate belt if he went to 55.

I wonder if Conor would be able to convince him otherwise.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Is Rockhold trolling with his cellulitis?

I was rolling my eyes when he was babbling about that in the cage. You won dude, stop making excuses.

 

[ScribbleD]

Luke Rockhold sounds like a tremendously whiny twat.

 

[Fitts]

Camera man doesn't know who Yoel Romero is.

Also, lol at Romero's canned response. Definitely got a PR agent between fights.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Question for Yoel.

WHO? WHERE?

The camera is allergic to cheaters.

He looks different because he shaved off his beard after the fight.

 

[shwimpy]

Is Conor coming or not? I have my mouse on the close button.

 

[lednerg]

I'm no expert, but Aldo's stance was kinda shit.

 

[Lightning Count]

Is Conor coming or not? I have my mouse on the close button.

He's never met a microphone he didn't like, no doubt he will show up eventually.

 

[serenewarfare]

According to Sholler at the post-fight presser, Aldo isn't getting a rematch. Either Frankie vs. Conor next, or Conor at 155 next.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Conor will get his own Q&A.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Same here. My old ass is nodding off.

Fuck it, I'll see it tomorrow.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I clicked close as soon as Dana didn't show and Rockhold was the only one talking lol.

 

[Lightning Count]

Faber resorting to MMA Math to argue his case for a title shot, I know Edgar was at 145, but still Faber needs at least one more win.

USADA holding Conor up per Kevin Iole.

 

[Lightning Count]

Conor isn't showing up, they just announced this is the last question.

 

[danthefan]

Conor isn't showing up, they just announced this is the last question.

I thought he just said he was letting the fighters there go and that Conor would be there in a few minutes?

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Conor isn't showing up, they just announced this is the last question.

No
They said hes coming out in 7 minutes

 

[phaonaut]

Conor isn't showing up, they just announced this is the last question.

"5-7 mins away"

 

[Lightning Count]

"5-7 mins away"

My mistake. I'm to get coffee and get back for Conor.

 

[thekiddfran]

Proud to be Irish right now.

Where are the McGregor haters now?

 

[Donthizz#]

lol

 

[M_A_C]

wow he's taking Dana's job now

 

[Dr.Acula]

I fucking knew he would take the podium, lol.

edit: law of attraction, oh shit, he's reading The Secret.

Full-on crazy confirmed.

 

[ScribbleD]

Is he talking about some shit from The Secret? I just converted and the guy is already trying to push me away.

 

[Lightning Count]

Here we go, let's see what he's got to say this time.

 

[Max_Po]

 

[Lightning Count]

Sad sight, I'm glad Conor won but I'm sure Aldo must be feeling pretty down right now.

 

[Meccanical]

That is a defeated man.

 

[sirap]

Don't take it too seriously. Connor says ridiculous shit to rile people up. And who's to say he doesn't truly believe in himself? It's worked for him so far.

 

[thekiddfran]

I would be like this too if I lost like that. Amateur showing

New Thought has been around longer than that book.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Conor with respectful words to "the only champion in the history of the division." Says he'd be open to a rematch.

Also says he's the champ at 145 and the contender at 155. He will not vacate.

 

[Hoje0308]

Was really glad to see both main events go the way I wanted and this celebration made me smile. Certainly a character, this guy.

Say what you want about Conor. The man knows EXACTLY what he is doing.
