"I felt when we stared down, I felt his right hand was twitching, which was a subtle tell for me. He is ready to unload that right hand and I feel that will be a downfall for him. if he lets that right hand go, I will not be there. I simply enter the way I enter, and that is enough, they either overextend or they shrink away, but either way it is not good for them. I will create traps and dead-space inside that octagon and i will walk him into that dead space, but all of a sudden he will be in danger. We will collide in the middle of the octagon and José will fall on the first exchange" - Conor McGregor
ZzZzZz yawn....

Mcgregor says this nonsense to make himself and dumb dumbs of mma believe he is actually skilled.

I 100% know for a fact mcgregor will/is going to lose his next fight. Quote me or book it either way he is going to lose his next fight.

He is very skilled, skilled enough to beat everyone in front of him and beating a guy that no one in the ufc could beat. he has an unorthodox fighting style and a killer left hand.

I think at this points it's hard to have any form of case to say he is unskilled. He is very beatable though but that's easier said than done. Wrestlers were ment to beat Aldo too but they didn't either. But I don't see the Conor time being that long. 1-3 title fights max.

I'm no Conor fan but don't mind him either. What I find stupid beyond belief is the ufc have offered him to winner of the cowboy fight. 2 title fights in row, feel bad for those guys like petis who should have a shot before Conor.

lol dude, he called it word for word, that's some Nostradamus level predictions!

I felt bad as fuck for Jose, I can't believe some of the fans fuckin' booed the guy, he could single handedly murder every single fan in attendance if he wanted to.

The only way Mcgregor moves up to 155 is if cowboy beats dos anjos. Dos anjos is the type of fighter UFC has been avoiding matching him up with his whole career and cowboy will be more then willing to stand with mcgregor which plays into both fighters strength which is their stand up game.

Plus cowboy has the bigger fight name to the ufc fans which will sell alot more then dos anjos vs mcgregor fight would.

Like a lot of fans, I really like cowboy. I don't see him beating dos anjos though. He could take cowboy down like he did petis. Slight difference is Cowboy doesn't mind the ground game unlike petis who has been beaten before against the ground game.

Dos anjos then faces Conor then all I see is defeat to Conor. They don't need a household name like cowboy, they have Conor who is the biggest face in the ufc now rousey lost. It might even be on the same card as rousey at ufc 200. Nothing confirmed but I can see them too at 200. Conor headlining.

I know ufc wouldn't want 1 person holding both belts. How frickin old school mma would be like if they said ufc 200 would have Conor defending both belts (if he won them). Not 100% but didn't they make a pride tournament when all winners had to fight again on the same card.

I dunno the way he beat Pettis was pretty damn impressive, I think he's juicin tbh
Didn't think it was impressive at all. He had great coaching and a great gameplan. They knew how to beat him and did it easy enough. His last loss came because of ground work, so even just a fan like me could see his best chance is on the ground.

Against cowboy, a such gameplan won't work. He has above average ground/sub work. But is known slightly for suffering in the mid section with kicks. I'd take a fair few fake shots while kicking just after. Cowboy can suffer with a lack of get go at the start. Lost the last fight because he didn't do much in the first two rounds, at that point it could be make or break time. Hope cowboy wins though

It was definitely impressive, Pettis has a really good ground game and is the best in the devisin overall and on top of that he pretty much beat Pettis in the stand up, but as I said I think dos anjos is juicin

Man, what a weird couple of years in the sport.. the most dominant champion of all time get's knocked out, a new middleweight champion emerges and defeats him in an even more devastating fashion than before! The youngest and most dominant Light Heavyweight Champion of all time gets in trouble and has to vacate his title. The most dominant female champion in UFC history gets knocked out in one of the years top highlight reels, the only featherweight champion in UFC history gets knocked out in 13 seconds by a man that has changed the sport, and now an even newer, better, stronger middleweight champion has risen in dominant fashion.. We're on the cusps of another legitimate double weight title holder in McGregor. The featherweight division is still as hot as it's always been. And Jones is on his way back!

Fuuuuuuck, what an excellent time to be an MMA fan!

LOL @ all the Mcgregor bandwagoners...
Why are you laughing? Mcgregor is a huge talent that is taking MMA to new heights of popularity. Not only is Conor a great fighter, he captures peoples attention by his comments whether you like him or not. Conor is the real deal and though I thought Aldo would whoop him silly like I knew Rockhold would whoop Weidman, I am glad Conor won because this is huge for the sport and to a fan (me) who has been watching UFC since UFC 1, this will only increase the sports popularity.

Speaking of UFC 1, is anyone interested in the original pioneers of the sport, Shamrock and Gracie fighting in 2016? Two 50 year old men slugging it out lol.

Every champion of every sport around the world has bandwagoners. Jon Jones doesn't have so many fans because he is a great fighter, nope it's because he wins a lot.

Fans love players,fighters,teams that win.

Do you guys think Sage Northcutt is juicing?
Really doubt it, surly if he is it will show on a drugs test.

Not just that but he is a young lad and won't juice because it will kill what career he might have. When you pass your test you don't speed until you have some points on the clock (uk,USA might not use points)

At his age his build can be down to pure determination and plenty of training. He wants to impress so could be working out like mad. He is facing guys a lot older than him and that can make him look more built than them.

I was so impressed with him at his last fight, gave me a real wtf moment for the first time in a long while. As he is a karate fighter as such, I dint think he would have much of a ground game and when he got grounded and did OK. At that point like many before him, I though that's it,game over. 99% of the time it is, sure they can defend somewhat but it always ends in a loss. He then turns the fight over by fighting back the same way the guy thought he would win.

Kid has some talent, he can have s bright future in mma. Ofc you need some talent but fighting at such a young age will give him an advantage in years to come.

I wish mma would of been this big when I was growing up.

I would say give Aldo the rematch for the sole fact he's been champ for 10 years, BUT wait until June at least, maybe put it on a 4th of July card. Since you can't have McGregor just sitting around until then, give him Frankie in Feb. or March OR if McGregor wants to face the winner for the Lightweight belt, have them fight for it in Juney/July and give Frankie another shot at Aldo on the same card, winner of that fight get's McGregor next fall. Going that route takes away Aldo's rematch though, I'm sure if he lost to Edgar that opportunity would be gone.

Aldo needs a rematch first. I feel bad for Frankie but like you said ten years. It all happened so fast. Very disappointing fight, I wanted to see a war.




Nobody got too hurt I think mcgregor might have fucked up his hand. Either way they are ready.. Or can be in a few months. Edger should fight max holloway.
