Conor McBroner.

McGregor losing is bad for UFC, but Dana can't be pissed at Tate winning at all. Now Ronda can come back and face someone she can beat, for the championship.

I think Ronda probably gonna get cocky again cause thinks of miesha as food. If she does she will lose and really commit that

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Him fighting Lawler was based on what credible reporting?

Dana said it in the PC.

He still is a contender at 155

, I like Nate, but he's a gatekeeper at LW. McGregor wants no problems with Khabib, RdA, Ferguson, Alvarez... maybe he beats Pettis.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Connor got beat by a man who got called up on 10 days notice. LOL

In the words of Cochran on The People vs OJ

"BOB, ITS NOT THAT SIMPLE!"

The Diaz brothers are legit fighters. Like Nate says, he's been with the company 9 years and the company never been behind him or gave him the "push" that they give cats like Conor or etc. But dude is a professional and is no way a pushover or bum all the street

Dana talking to Conor before the fight

Jose Aldo taunts Conor McGregor on Twitter following UFC 196 loss, calls for rematch at UFC 200 - MMAmania.com


Aldo is officially an A-1 certified clown


Get hype off another man's win, brehs

Call a man a p*ssy when he gave you a chance at a rematch and you turned it down, brehs

Conor isn't a clown Aldo is?

Oh ok.

Nah, nah..I ain't going for this. She lost round two...but stuffed Meisha several times. I don't think Meisha had the strength to apply that choke hold like that from that position. Holly came back from a KO before...she ain't going anywhere.

Holly EASILY won that fight...

Holly and McGregor losing is BAD for the sport...People were beginning to get excited about fighters who go for it, but now they will go back to the tape and realize sometimes you just have to be a BORING fighter and win by points when you are clearly ahead in the scorecards...

One of the WORST things in any fighting sport are the dominant fight for points champions...I hate that "game plan" talk...

 

[R=G]

So whats the main event for UFC 200 at this point? Jones?

 

[Klyk21]

Stockton slap

wow.....he slapped his ass on some "you ain't..." shyt

 

[Xerces]

Conor isn't a clown Aldo is?

Oh ok.

Yes. And in my post I identified why. If you can't see why, then I can't help you

 

[Kenny West]

I don't think connor was acclimated to fighting while carrying that much weight. for him to gas after a round and you getting scheduled for 5 rounders with featherweights and lightweights too. I can understand him going all out early in that case, no way he has more endurance then nate. short camp or not

 

[ChatGPT-5]

nate is like 6 ft tall so how is him fighting at lw not fighting midgets? How is aldo at 145 not fighting midgets then? By your standards bones should move up to heavyweight Bc his arms are so long, right? Connor is going to come out with a vengeance against Edgar then probably rock aldo again then we will see what he does at 155. He got rocked and subbed. shyt happens but don't act like Conor using his reach and size is a bad thing. Ppl have been doing that forever.

its not about height more than it is body type. Nate is tall but hes lanky, he's a small 170, and there's no 165, so he has to go to 155. Aldo is short and stocky but how does he look compared to Conor or Pettis, like a midget. Conor's body type is 155, he's bigger than RDA ffs!!!!! When Edgar gets him on the mat and makes him look like a calf whats going to happen because if he moves to 155 where Nate is, he's going to get slapped around by RDA, Nate, Khabib, Pettis, Ferguson. pff

McGregor put himself in a bad situation for no reason. He should've stuck with the strategy from round 1 and kept hitting those jabs, then just wait for the perfect timing.

McGregor realized that he was hitting Diaz with punches that put many LW to sleep, but Diaz was still awake, so he PANICKED...

This is what happens to most fighters when their game plan goes out the window...This fight kind of shows that McGregor's skills are not above and beyond the rest of the LWs..He is just taking advantage of significant size and reach advantage...

You could see McGregor's punches falling short in front of Diaz, and he had to eat shots to get at Diaz...A problem he is not facing in the LW division...

Plus, dude needs to stop that "touch my butt" game with Ido Portal and start putting real work to get a wrestling/BJJ pedigree...

That movement shiet doesn't work...Footwork has nothing to do with that new age movement bullshiet...

Or step up your BRazillian Jiujitsu game because you cant turn MMA into kickboxing with ground and pound after you knock someone down.
