I thought McGregor would win. I was floored by how easy he made it look. He completely outclassed Alverez. His striking, especially his counters, we're loads above Eddie
I knew McGregor would win, but I agree that I didnt think it would be that easy... That was a walk in the fuckin park

Conor is about to explode into an even bigger star after this performance

I have to give McGregor credit. He makes his opponents pay for mistakes. I'd hate to be a MMA fighter in his division. He continues to hold the FW division up. Now he'll hold two divisions up.

As impressive as McGregor has been I still think there are fighters that could give him a challenge at 155lbs( Ferguson & Khabib to name two)

I dont think there is a person alive that wouldnt agree that Khabib would have his way with CM.

I would guess there are at least a few CM fans that still think he's unbeatable. If he lands an early shot CM has a chance otherwise he'd get rag dolled by Khabib. Khabib outwrestles everybody.

I was just so shocked how dumb Eddie fought. Like yeah, let me be world class cardio and wrestler but imma take this opportunity to stand. Once he started getting rolled it was far to late to try that. What a dummy. Khabib might let Connor get into his head and fight dumb. Impresses me how weak minded is and how intelligent Connor is on that end.

Just goes to show you that nobody can take a punch like that blockhead Nate Diaz :heh:

But seriously... that was ridiculous. Conor drives me nuts, but the man can fight.

I think the world will see the difference between a well rounded MMA fighter and a KO specialist in the fight. Alvarez should win. After the fight I think McGregor will retire.

Man, you're always wrong.

Alvarez has so much confidence. I don't think he is rattled at all by the crowd or McGregor. I think he will perform like a Champ. I respect McGregor for stepping up but I think he's about to get beat down. Alvarez has so much experience, heart, great coaching, & elite training partners. These guys had completely different paths. McGregor has bullied smaller guys in the UFC (besides going 1 W 1 decision vs Nate) Meanwhile Alvarez was fighting more well rounded 155lb fighters.

This is why I can't ever take "fight fans" serious. Your dislike for Conor is so blinding that it's embarrassing. I'm actually embarrassed for you, and the comment you made earlier about Eddie "being able to dictate where this fight goes".

I want you to stop making threads about cards that have McGregor on them.

If I stop making threads about Mcgregor it will have nothing to do with what you want. I'm losing interest in the UFC. Having contenders wait for several months for a title shot delegitimizes titles in the organization. What's really embarrassing is your allegiance to a guy who is beyond arrogant. He acts like the worst jerk that I have ever heard. I'm glad he's not my hero like he is yours.

And sell a fight. He talks shit like he's in the WWE. And I mean that as a compliment.
