I bought FightPass in large part to watch this card. What can I say McGregor kind of intrigues me.

McCall was on Rogan's podcast last year and he was a cool guy.

2-0 McCall but MMA judges

That fight was so far from close that the 29-28 has me kind of mystified.

Eh I could def see someone scoring the first for Pickett even if McCall pretty clearly had it.



I had money on McCall and really thought he had to take the third to have it in the bag, and even then I wouldn't have been shocked to see some dickhead score it 29-28 Pickett.

you are apparently awful at scoring fights

No I just realize MMA judging is very bad. I never said I scored it that way (I had it 30-27 McCall) but I've seen fights just as lopsided scored in retarded ways.

I don't get it.

What's hard to understand? I said I wouldn't have been shocked if, because of stupid judging, it was even going into the third round. I put almost nothing past the judges anymore after Diego Sanchez's last two victories.

I'm not one to jump on hype trains but Conor McGregor has totally won me over between his fight with Holloway and the buildup to this fight.

Conor vs Porier next please. That can easily headline a FS1 card.

Edgar is too much for Conor at this point. I think.

you're loving delusional if you think using the word hyped around Conor is an outlandish statement to make

I like you but I have never seen somebody who hates cool fighters as much as you. Even if you probably are right in this case.




McGregor hasn't fought the best competition but he has destroyed all 3 fighters he's stepped into the cage with. If he was getting by on split decisions against this competition that's one thing, but he's done to those 3 fighters what *really* good fighters would have done also.

Now that's a midcard fight you can set your watch to having too many words written about it!

This would probably headline an FS1 card.



Also who ever said Glover was a threat to Jones besides Dana "Barao #1 P4P" White?

I agree, McGregor is at least as good as Russell Doane.

Well Doane fought Brimage to a SD which sort of proves my point. It's not that Conor is beating these guys but the way in which he is beating them.


Also he's fun as gently caress to watch.

P4P is a really hard discussion because it's almost impossible to back up your argument with facts but Barao probably could never be higher on that list than Cain, Jones, and Aldo.

DDP easily blew the doors off Brandão AND Max Holloway and he'd still get murdalized by the top wrestlers at featherweight.

Fair point.
