Essential The Official MMA Thread

If Conor goes out there and starches Nate, Dana n co might try to set up Mcg vs Lawler for the strap. Dana pretty much admitted this at the conference today. This shyt is becoming a circus. It's asinine how they're portraying Nate to be a true ww, when he's barely successful at that weight. They just wanna prop up Conor by any means.

A fw with zero title defenses, 0 Lw fights under the Zuffa umbrella, and 0 fights at WW

He'll beat lawler though, wonderboy will be his true test

Againts lawler, He won't have the reach and speed advantages. I really don't see how conor wins that fight, as Lawler hits just as hard, and has proven to have the gas tank for 5 rounds. The only thing that might give Robbie trouble is Conor's footwork

Tbh Conor doesn't deserve that fight. I can see Rory, Nick, Twood, and Thompson all beating him

lmao he'll be way faster than lawler

he's more skilled than lawler, it will be a pretty easy fight for conor really, lawler is really basic he won't need those advantages

nick diaz knocked out lawler lmao

I expect him to beat up nate pretty bad, finish him within the first round

these mma guys lack overall fundamentals and conor is exposing the sport right now, I sad the same thing way before the aldo fight

this will be no different

Breh has had 12 fight bonuses and has headline multiple cards and gets paid 20/20grand a fight. While sage making 40/40. That aint unfair?

Honestly? That's poor management and just exposes the people around him and makes Nate and his brother look really fukking stupid

I don't think it's unfair and I don't blame the UFC for it either

Diaz knocked Lawler out over a decade ago Conor isn't unbeatable and beating a career LW on 10 days notice shouldn't earn him a shot at the WW title.

Yes now Lawler is older with more wear and tear on his body so when Conor connects he will be hurt and he will be hurt bad

It has nothing with him being a better fighter now than then, but you lack any type of vision and just look for disagreement

I didn't say Conor is unbeatable, I just said Wonderboy would be his test

lawler is just too basic and isn't great at anything, and he is way too slow, he just lacks the skills to beat conor

If Nick Diaz somehow manages to beat conor I will be surprised and I admit I was wrong

unlike the people who laughed when I said Aldo who stood no chance against Mcgregor

Conor is pushing MMA into the direction it needs to go as far as skills, because 90 percent of the guys are hot trash and shouldn't be considered professionals

Him and Michael Page are the future, and hopefully they will fight one day if Conor stays at 170

If you honestly believe that is what nate makes then more fool you

Jones doing promo work with the belt Cormier's days as 'champ' are numbered.

this official! The savageness is real!

 

[The Infamous]

this official?

Yeah. Even the UFC acknowledging Cormier not the real champ.

 

[Screwface Exchange]

I'm really interested to see how Connor looks and performs in this fight, simply from the standpoint of him fighting and training with zero weight cut.

Outside of some HW's and open weight tourneys it's rare in Mma to see guys fighting and training while eating full meals, protein carbs whatever. Let's see if this has a negative or positive impact on the ring.

Maybe Connor will make it a new fad not to cut weight for smaller weight classes n guys tryin 2 bulk up more.

 

[BlackSuperman]

Yeah against journeymen and non top 10 fighters he gets the job done. And then you throw him in against legit guys and he either loses or squeezes out a decision. I'm just tired of him talking like he's some destroyer who's been treated unfairly when he isnt

Miller and Donald Cerrone were/are top 10 and possibly Johnson. And when has Nate squeezed out a decision? Against Johnson, only round 1 was debatable. And he beat the horse sht out of Cerrone.

clearly Jones put that in his instagram to send the point home to Cormier who the real champion is. Did people really think zuffa back tracked and handed him back the title they stripped from him (without any publicity mind you) to try and make this a title unification match?
