Conor's UFC run has been a disaster, agreed.

Conor should leave SBG so that he has no connection to Cathal Pendred and he UFC can put Pendred on a boat to push out to sea.

Three games, thousands of playthroughs. 90% of the players don't know I exist. Still a redhead saving the galaxy with a [Right Hook].

Conor has said a few times he wants to fight in a stadium show in Ireland. If the UFC doesn't want to wait until UFC 200 they could probably build a really good show around a Aldo vs McGregor unification and say Joanna Champion vs # 1 strawweight as a comain. Then pepper the undercard with people like Bisping, Gunner, Calderwood, Gus, and Amirkhani and you could have a really European focused event.

Problem is that they're already doing a Fight Pass card in Dublin.

Though maybe they can finally do a UK PPV that's worth a poo poo.

They're not going to do Conor/Aldo in Europe, Dana said as much last night. Granted Dana says a lot of things but I don't see them doing that.

Yes? Is is really controversial to think that having better coaches than Paddy Holohan and a z-tier Eastern European wrestling coach would make Conor better?

For something to be controversial it requires that there be two reasonable sides to the argument involving opinions that are logically argued from reasonable evidence. What you've said is a baseless assertion that it requires full contradiction of the available evidence. For example, whatever you think of his wrestling coach's credentials, his wrestling coach is obviously a very good wrestling coach, because he has coached Conor into being able to beat up very good wrestlers. Remember, Eastern Europe is actually a source of good wrestlers, and remember, few good coaches were famous competitors in their own right.

You're basically trying to argue that the sky is orange: it's not only untrue, you have to be reversing what you see into the exact photo-negative reverse of the truth to be able to consider it as something that resembles truth. That's the depth of the stupidity in your claim.

Having local fighters be the under card is the worst thing.

If you get one chance to see 1 live MMA event a year, the last thing you want to see is a Terry Etim or a Norman Parke.

Saying Conor needs to work on his wrestling is for sure a fair point, saying he needs new coaches seems very excessive.

That was one of my options!! He should spend some big time Euros to get Mark Coleman, Jordan Burroughs, and Funky Ben to join SBG and watch him become the best wrestler ever.

I hope that Rory gets a bit more respect around here amongst the truly autistic. Also, things that give Robbie official very cool man status:

Spitting out a ton of blood then doing the death stare

Yelling "I FEEL FUCKIN' GREAT" in his corner before the fifth

Suddenly getting way in Rory's face and landing basically every left in the fifth until his face fell apart
He certainly will from anyone with any sense. He's going to be immortalized even in defeat now that he was a crucial part of the new Shogun/Hendo level legendary war. Good for him, hopefully he isn't permanently damaged so he finds new ways to keep getting better.

They're both tough, aggressive and hittable, plus a lot of people watched that fight and would like to see more. Seems good and cool.

Only drawback is that Stephens has to beat #8 twice like Dennis is Anderson Silva or something, but if he's game, why not?

I think they should do Condit vs Brown to determine the next guy to fight Robbie so that way there's a good chance we get back-to-back fights everyone has wanted to see for years.

Robbie and Johny could do part III in the meantime but I also feel like after that fight Robbie might just sit out for 6 months or longer anyways. That was gnarly.

The fact we never got Brown vs Condit is an atrocity, so Condit vs Lawler is the least we deserve.

It was lost in the hype from all the cool poo poo that happened last night but I love that even when Pendred's streak of somehow failing upward came to an end, he still managed to bewitch one judge. Live by the boring split decision, die by the boring split decision.

It's probably because Stephens came in like four pounds over. It was a good fight and Bermudez deserves a shot at a guy in his own weight class.
