[LethalGunz34]

Well, fook.

[Sezzors]

Don’t really give a fukk about this guy and his BS

[Aristotelian]

To quote him directly, "We have heard this all before" - this is part of his bs self-promo before every fight, both vs. Floyd and vs. Khabib.

Masvidal vs McGregor would be nice "I'll K.O you inside the first round" - yeah, flying knee style though boyo.

[Deathstroke]

Masvidal be good
Or Brock lesnar at a catch weight

[Gainzzz]

He's still more than capable of putting on exciting fights and events. Conor vs any of the names he mentioned is a just bleeders dream. Except Khabib.

I think he beats Cerrone/Gaethje comfortably. I think it's quite likely he beats Nate/Masivdal. I don't see how he beats Tony/Khabib.

Based on clocking a grandpa in the bar? He hasn't fought for years whilst Cerrone, Gaethje and Masvidal have been active. Nobody has an idea what his level is like at the moment.

[lazerhead]

For the love of God, he did not punch an old man at the bar. He was 50 years old. People act like he was a grandpa. It’s actually disturbing to me how easily misinformation can spread and become fact.

also lol @ people giving a sh*t about what these guys do outside of the ring. News flash: They’re degenerate cage fighters. That goes for athletes in general. LeBron would be working at KFC if not for his freak genetics. Reading his tweet about China, he appears to have the intelligence of a 5th grader.

You're an idiot.

He sucker punched a man, much older than himself, who was clearly no match physically. It's "disturbing" that you'd defend that type of behavior.

Secondly; As MMA becomes more mainstream, the last thing we need are the fighters giving a bad name to the organization, or the sport in general. They are representing said organization and getting paid very well. They SHOULD be held to higher standard inside AND outside of the ring.

Lastly, go fist yourself.

Please point to the part where I defended him. Pretty sure I called him a degenerate, actually.

In all fairness, you called all athletes degenerates; which certainly shows your level of ignorance.

"In all fairness"... nice backpedaling. You're unable to point out where I defended Connor, and now I'm ignorant because you have another disagreement about something I said. Ok lil guy.

[ndiguy]

Ok lil guy.

lol

[lazerhead]

something humorous? little boy?

[Aristotelian]

He's still more than capable of putting on exciting fights and events.

That is undeniable - he manufactures drama like a WWE superstar, one of the best trash talkers in the game - even where he goes too far. I think he's a chit human being for dragging religion etc (Khabib) into his trash talk, and the cart nonsense with the bus was also too far, and yet - how long did it take the UFC to use the bus incident in their promos? Khabib was right about that.

And they use Conor tapping in promos now too...LOL.

On fighting: I don't see how he could beat Masvidal - who has also been putting on exciting fights for a while. Still hope Diaz wrecks him though as he should bring the BMF belt back...patent that chit with the Stockton slap.

[Groce]

Gaychee is the fight.

[anderchelenko]

After his lose to Habib and whiskey present to Putin - he is nobody. He is returning just to promote his whiskey and lose again by submission... Weak guy!

[ndiguy]

Gaychee is the fight.

^This.

Justin vs Conor would be a fantastic fight

[jfindon]

Uncle Dana said this is nowhere near finalized.

But both are dip**** ****ing morons. I wish Conor would fight a heavyweight and get knocked into retirement, I'm tired of his idiocy and hearing anything about him.

[Yotone]

i dont believe it. he just wants to stay relevant but i seriously doubt hes ever going back in the ring.

[NorthernLad93]

Conor must be praying for a Diaz win this weekend. If Masvidal can knock someone like Darren Till out cold, he'd fuking murder Conor.

[adamsz]

don't really care until the fight is signed and delivered and we know who the actual opponent is.

[CellyTech]

Masvidal is a big boy in comparison. Personally I want to see Justin vs Connor.
