The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

I mean Aldo already beat Frankie before Conor slept him in 13 seconds so what does another decision against Frankie prove?

Frankie finished two opponents after losing to Aldo so he obviously improved

Again if Aldo goes on to dominate pettis or Holloway he will have done more than enough to deserve a rematch

As far as nate vs Conor, thats true Dana could save it for a rainy day. Nothing in Mma is guaranteed though you never know. Conor could lose badly to khabib or woodley or even Ferguson and decide to retire. I say you put the fight on when you can and cash out

I can't find the links, but there's video of the fight out there, one with Alvarez's corner as audio and then another with McGregor's corner as audio.

Mark Henry speaks in code, it's really interesting to listen to. They were yelling at Eddie from the moment the bell rang. During the fight I thought he was talking to Conor, but maybe he was talking back to them. There's also some woman yelling EDDDDDDDDIE as loud as possible. It's funny

Here's a link to the transcripts.

I also thought the 2nd win against a streaking Edgar was more dominant than the 1st if memory serves.

I honestly wonder what the UFC will grant Conor. He asked for the moon my guess is to get something right below the moon

I also can't wait to see the salaries for 205...

 

[QU!K]

I bet Alvarez made at least 1 mil and Conor made 15-20 mil

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Damn Eddie said he won't even be able to enjoy his money

True fighter

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I see Floyd keeping the fire burning lol

Dude letting it be known Conor is an ant compared the elephant that Floyd is

Yikes

 

[carver]

Wouldnt eem be surprised if Conor made 20+

 

[dedafyats]

McGregor at 28 years old is pooping on floyd at 28 years old
So floyd best watch himself

McGregor at 28 years old is pooping on floyd at 28 years old

So floyd best watch himself

No way his career can have the same longevity in MMA as a boxer who doesn't take punches, though.  And I don't think Conor intends to either.

 

[boxer15]

He wants a stake in the company because unlike Mayweather, he'll never be able to promote his own fights on the same scale. The MMA promotion game just a different beast.

I'm not sure Conor took a punch in his last 2 title fights

 

[maicolkickhead]

Wait he didnt eat punches from nate? Lol

 

[dedafyats]

Wait he didnt eat punches from nate? Lol

A little bit of sarcasm given how Eddie did not touch him.

Nate pushed him to the limits both fights, almost TKOd him the second fight.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Phillip said title fights

The nate fights were not title fights

 

[Cashflow]

Wait he didnt eat punches from nate? Lol

The key words up there are Title Fights

Fedor vs Brock co-main

 

[SORIANOTRON]

doubt conor fights khabib, i mean why would he at this point

 

[three00zeex]

I just want to see what Khabib would do w Conor on the ground.. if he's able to get him to the ground

 

[carver]

Khabib can get anyone to the ground 

The promo was set when Khabib did the Russia vs Ireland thing.. but once his coach brought up Nate and Max that's all we need to know

 

[spiderjericho]

TMT speaking the real. It was more of a slight by the reporter and the ridiculous comparisons we tend to do with athletes.

Connor is a unique, one of a kind athlete. He's had a positive impact on MMA. But let's not pretend MMA has the history as boxing. And the way the sport is managed/organized doesn't allow fighters to be autonomous independent contractors. It would be awesome if Connor could go challenge Chandler and whoever is the champ in WSoF. Say he dominated the Sport.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

That's ridiculous lol.. the UFC has the best there is. Wsof? Lolllll

But yes it's stupid to compare them .. unless you want to talk about a real fight of course

 

[illphillip]

Even that's ridiculous.
