Mr. Nice! posted:I do think McGregor is a killer at FW but just a top 5 guy at LW. I never said he wasn’t elite, but rather that he’d just hang with the top guys at LW rather than just crush them. i don't really agree with your overall premise. it's not like either of them has fought anyone who resembles their opponent. i don't think anyone knows how this fight is really gonna go. maybe it's gonna look like ronda vs. holm. maybe it's gonna look like when gsp mashed up serra in the rematch.

lol i should have expected and preempted that response with i am not an IT professional, but sure, lets keep running the joke into the ground. I agree he posts the occasionally funny thing but its mostly responding with "lol" rather than an actual reason he disagrees with a poster.

This derail is stupid. What type of IT training do you guys think that Conor has? Web design? Tech support? Database admin?

Brut posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2RxePzuE-8 You probably shouldn't be allowed to keep cutting weight if you're drained to the point where putting your sports bra and panties back on and then standing still is too hard for you. Of course, that'd also mean going up to Cyborgweight where you fight Cyborg and then get cut and no longer have any semblance of a career so I guess there's no good solution here.

Khabib has fought rangy south paws. McGregor has never fought anyone like Khabib. There’s nothing special about McGregor’s striking. There is with Khabib’s grappling, though.

Alvarez still hasn't been knocked out since or really made to look like that at all and he's been in hell wars. I'm far from a Conor dick rider but this is revisonist

Saying khabib has fought a rangy southpaw is like saying conor has defended take downs. It's a new level of danger for them both.

I honestly did not expect people to be so hilariously defensive about the IT profession. The reaction was definitely severe enough and hysterical enough that I will think twice about making a computer joke in the future.

She's pretty buff and has always struggled to make this weight. I think she's in a weird spot where she's too big for 135 but too small for 145, but has to persist with cutting to bantamweight because there's just nothing there at featherweight. https://mmajunkie.com/2018/10/aspen-ladd-ufc-229-weight-cut-sure-as-heck-wasnt-fun

Someone recording their screen but here is the clip of Conor talking about Muhammad Ali from the press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWgJWk3Tbc One of the only times you might see Conor genuine and humble nowadays Although it was funny that he also said that no matter what Dana tells the truth

She's not too big for 135. She was 146lbs on Monday and she used to cut down to 125. She's gotten bigger on her strength and conditioning program and there's no way she could make 125 anymore, but she's a healthy 135. She's working with George Lockhart and she's with a new meal prep company for athletes. She'll be fine tomorrow.

Supposedly Khabib plan is to beat Conor and then retire (but would possibly be up for a GSP fight).

Conor is a hell of a fighter. I'm not saying that he isn't. But he also went 1-1 with Nate Diaz with Nate beating the gently caress out of him in the first and took two rounds in the rematch. Nate is far from the best LW in the world. His KO of Aldo was nuts. I don't think anyone will ever say anything different. He exploited Eddie Alvarez's bad tendencies and knocked him out just like he did to tons of people before at 10 lbs lighter. He's just not anything above the rest of the pack in terms of his striking game like Khabib is above everyone else at grappling. Conor is a top 5 LW, but he's not the best striker in the division.

If Conor wins we'll get beebs vs Pettis/Tony before his next fight. If Conor loses, there will be an immediate rematch The UFC has shown time and time again they want certain people to be champa and they get rematches they don't deserve because of that

Here's a story to help anyone debating Mr. Nice! One time there was a get together and he spent a chunk of the night, when not wrestling his coworker on cement, arguing with me and another friend of ours about the definition of sashimi, despite having been proven wrong by The Online. That is all
