UFC 246: McGregor vs Cowboy

[lazerhead]

Conor is using psychological warfare on Cowboy by pretending to be his friend. He's gonna come out of the opening bell like Robbie Lawler on PCP and fucking decapitate him in a humiliated rage. All of this hate has been brewing in his heart for a year. He's only pretending to be chill right now... Just watch.

“It’s me next. I’m just coming back in fresh, ready, prepared – looking to compete.” “Consistency and structure was missing.” “People have real problems, this is not a real problem. I rolled up in a bleeding Rolls Royce truck. My family's back home, my son is playing in the pool in our Vegas home. People have real problems, so I'm very, very blessed.” “I wake up every day and I’m very, very blessed.” – Conor McGregor - Conor McGregor on Donald Cerrone respect, possible March return and Masvidal/Usman - TheMacLife

conor gave him friendship vibes.

Will friendship and father time Cerrone join forces for a victory

I remember these two being an actual thing lol, until he got his ass beat by Tony and Justin.

[lazerhead]

the fate of the UFC universe is on Conor's shoulders. srs.

If Conor loses, at the height of his ability/confidence... he will never be the same again as a man or as a fighter.

The staredown went to Cerrone.

I want cowboy to win and think he has a solid shot, but sometimes you get world champ calibre cowboy, and sometimes you get slow old man vulnerable cowboy.

[AgentSkyhawk]

well obviously its a more normal fight instead of fighting a bigger guy, or the best boxer ever, or the hardest counter to his style possible in khabib.

so obviously its set up to set an updated baseline of where his lazy ass is now and how much of the skills he still has.

Donald is good because he should be able to beat him if he is still as skilled as he used to be, but also Donald has the potential to make something happen too so its not a complete can hes fighting.

its a pretty good test to see where he is at, if he truly still has the skill he should win but if he just took too much time away from the workout game then Donald might win.

its also important to win in a dominant and convincing fashion if he does to re-bolster the mystique. if he just does average and kinda barely does whatever and Geta decision, that would still be a lot of mystique left on the table and kind of a net loss of draw power.

him winning handily would support the underlying idea that 145 Connor is still official cannon and the rest were unwindable exhibition fights where he tried to reach for the stars and fell short which is a big bold part of his fame in the first place.

so if he wins this “winnable” fight easily its all good but if he doesnt look good out there or loses it loses that mystique both for now and the future but even retroactively a little because a real alpha wouldn't stop lifting or lose his savage fighting IQ just because they got rich so it kinda makes him seem like a ******* trying to cash in and not do the work it takes to fight well.

Good points here, agreed. This is more a normal fight vs a one sided in terms of technique, especially with khabib's level where people know what you're going to do and they can't stop it.
IMO i think he has some rust. He did with the khabib fight, but nobody talked about it. Had cowboy had more time to recover and he gets done in like Eddie, no doubt the mystique is rebolstered. I think my beef is with dana with the terms. It'd be another thing also if Cowboy would have a fight for the gold as well.

And GSP comes to mind when it comes to not stop lifting or losing that IQ. Aside from the alien chit after johnny where he took a lot of damage, he still kept training. But we'll see today

I think there must be some hormonal, water retention issues with women and cutting. It's not as easy to make diet calculations/emotionally for women, they're handicapped in that sense.

This was a fight I was actually looking forward too as well, mainly cause they're both reasonably attractive girls.

yup. its probably shark week for her and shes all bloated.

Looks like a weak card besides the main event. LOL at Conor fighting someone who got knocked out in the last 2 matches.

Rooting for Conor though because he's a manlet facing a taller guy.

Wait, how can you be 4 inches taller but have the same reach as the shorter guy?

[Jameson11]

Damn son, Dober just ko'd mini Gastelum

[p7nk]

Conor by 1st RND TKO and it will be a controversial stopage. You read it here first.

[Gomi]

I want the chit talking, Monster energy throwing hooligan back LOL

You seem to be the only one

Would be how I think he would think... come out real fast and heavy right off the bat

[Jameson11]

Got a free $3 bet on an online casino I use. Threw it on Roxy for 6-1 odds as the biggest dog of the night. Go big or go home.

[VegasLifter26]

1-0 so far..won money on Askarov

also got cash on Cerrone and Aleksie to win

[tnel00]

[adamsz]

[Gomi]

good call mate..i was considering betting snack money on her, especially after she beat valentina shevcenkos sister...but i just didnt..damn

[adamsz]

well that was awkward

[Gomi]

I cant stand when they interview fighters that lost that were expecting to win and they have to give excuses why they lost

[Jameson11]

That Maycee speech seemed to be a little pretentious no? Should have just let Roxy have her moment.
