Which Conor is funnier, God or clown?

the conor that can't support his lifestyle without the money that frequently fighting gives him, and who is becoming more and more desperate about it. that's the funnier conor

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Conor v Nate I was the greatest draw in UFC history, both men equals.

If this somehow turns into Nate Diaz being the top man in the company, 2016 will be the greatest year in the history of MMA. That was something I didn't think possible after Conor lost, but he's handling it so badly I'm starting to wonder if it can somehow happen.

how do you guys feel about Overeem vs Arlovski? I feel like I personally favor Arlovski by a fraction of a butthair

the again, every time I make a prediction about an Overeem fight I end up dead wrong

Arlovski is probably going to get laid out in a really sad way just like his last fight.

as far as i can tell they're both extremely good strikers with glass chins. arlovski is a significant underdog so i will be betting on him.

Arlovksi has lost two of his last 13 fights. Thats pretty impressive for a man of his age. No idea how this helps pick the fight.

Neither guy reacts well to getting hit, but Arlovski always starts backing straight up with his arms out whereas Overeem occasionally finds it within himself to rally. I think they'll both get hurt but Arlovski's chin will give out first.

Or Overeem will have one of his rare performances where he overwhelms his opponent in every regard, since Arlovski's game is largely striking and Overeem is better than him at it.

I think Arlovski's chin is actually reasonably sturdy despite his reputation and several knockout losses, but his defense is so bad he frequently presents opportunities to be hit clean and knocked out in the most devastating of ways. I am not sure someone with a glass chin can have his jaw broken by Rumble Johnson in bonus overtime of the first round due to a timekeeper's fuckup and still fight to a decision. Overeem on the other hand seems to genuinely get loopy any time a big strike lands.

this is a fair point but then i see an armswing strength travis browne flailing backhand almost kill him i think the truth might lay somewhere in the middle

It's crazy that we got a fight as good as Lawler/Condit this year, and that's by no means the biggest news story.

Either someone hacked Conor or he's honestly arguing with fans at this point which is kind of sad.

I wonder if Conor has even accepted the fact he isn't on the 200 card. He might be that delusional that he still thinks he is and shows up ready to fight.

Jon Jones could show up at someone's house, follow them around while they do their daily routine and repeat "fagggggggggggggoooooottttttt" then claim he was hacked and it would come across as more likeable and relatable than conor claiming he was winning because he hit the dummy sweep
