Here's another tape of McGregor. Watching it again, I think an argument could be made that Diaz won? I mean it can go both ways... If McGregor won, you can argue Diaz won and if it was Diaz, you can argue for McGregor.

I fear for him vs Cerrone.

That was a great performance for Conor McGregor you can surely see the precision and accuracy with his hits, you can see his composure and that he is calm in this matchup, You can see that Nate Diaz's Nose was already red on the first round, but on the Second round Nate Diaz sense that McGregor was fading and Conor on the Third Round was Running around the ring, I think if this issue in Connor was still there when he fights Cerrone even if he get bulkier now he can not last long for 5 rounds on his momentum.

Nice! find speculation on what may happen on McGregor VS Cerrone fight but let's just wait and see.

It would be funny if he would not say that Grin

You know world, we have been training hard, but managed to get only 80% of what Conor is able to show.

That would be a master piece dialogue of Kamaru Usman when he fought Emil Weber Meek that he fought only 30% because he was expected to finish the fight fast but went to a decision and that was his post fight delivery Cheesy

, now reports are coming out that Conor is more interested to fight Kamaru Usman for the belt than Masvidal, not sure what is intentions are but he is eyeing a lot of opponents to make things interesting for the fans.

McGregor's head coach John Kavanagh seemed pretty confident that we'll get the best version of McGregor in the coming event. He says the ex champ has been training hard... We'll see.

I do believe what John Kavanagh says is true as Conor McGregor was really humiliated by Khabib Nurmagomedov and i am sure he wanted to prove to the world that he still belongs in the cage and can perform and make money and that is the only reason he is coming back and he will be training his hearts out to win the fight against Donald Cerrone as he will be having other plans after the bout.

The reason Conor McGregor was successful earlier in his career is because of the high confidence he had in himself and that same confidence is seen when he went to fight Floyd Mayweather who is arguably the greatest boxer in history and the confidence to debut against a fighter like that shows his confidence and after the amount of money he made with that fight he did not need to return to MMA to fight against Khabib and he thought he was able to walk through him like he did with everyone else playing mind games but that backfired big time but i am sure he can fight against Nate and Cerrone and win the fights but rematching Khabib right now will be a bad decision as he has other fights that he can win.

In my opinion, maybe he is just jealous about Masvidal getting the BMF belt but he really likes a good return so he is aiming for a great challenge even if he would challenge Khabib the one that defeated him in the past I think that there is no stopping him from that route.

The smart move for Conor McGregor and Dana White is a rematch between Nate Diaz and it will be a blockbuster event and then must rematch Aldo and Max Holloway and these are easy big money fights and the fans will be watching those rather than going after fights that are impossible to match at this stage of his career. He surprised many with his skills in the past but against a ground specialist like Khabib i do not see a chance unless he could catch him in the first or second round.

Well, I think that is very real that Mcgregor can take on Nate Diaz in a fight that forcing his way to Khabib that had a ground advantage over him, Well maybe if he could win over Cowboy Cerrone on UFC 246 and if he could defeat Cowboy Cerrone maybe he can get a shot against Nate Diaz But Dana White had a bigger plan for Conor and that is if Khabib can win against his fight with Ferguson he might have a title shot even though his fight is taking place on a 170-pound division he can surely get a shot against Khabib again.

Conor vs Cerrone
The ratio is totally 1-sided for Conor , it would be smart to bet on Cerrone .

If a betting house is favoring Conor McGregor to win then there might be something to think rather than thinking about keeping the smart money for Cerrone to win, the problem with Cerrone is that he starts really slow and to get to his grove he needs to drag the fight to the third round so that Conor's patented cardio comes into play Cheesy

and only if that happens i see Cerrone winning this fight.

The BMF belt is quite tempting for the most baddest fighters out there I think that Conor really aims for that shot and aiming for a Jorge Masvidal fight I think the belt really gives Conor the engine to get a shot against Masvidal but apparently Dana White doesn't like the sound of a Conor Vs Masvidal fight so I think even if he like the BMF belt he would likely need to wait for that title shot because Dana thinks it is a bad idea and said that the BMF title fight was only a one-time deal, So I guess Conor really needs to wait.

Do you really think that Dana White will not allow Conor McGregor to fight for another title and that too BMF title against Masvidal, the reason Dana White has a negative point in that match up is only because he knows very well that it will be a hard fight for Conor McGregor as Jorge Masvidal is having a good momentum and tearing apart fighters and with that confidence it will be a difficult match up, if Dana can give a rematch against Khabib where he lost some rounds 10 to 8 you can make a title fight for the BMF belt.

That is why I say that he needs to wait for his shot and actually I am thinking the same as well that Conor is not ready yet to fight against Masvidal and in my opinion, even if he would get a shot against Khabib I don't think that he is ready for it as well, The BMF belt is safe in the hands of Jorge Masvidal and in my opinion, he would go a long way with it.

May be he is obsessed to win another belt and may be he is targeting the welterweight division to make in return and possibly challenge for another title run in the welterweight division or the BMF belt as there were many critics claiming that if Nate Diaz would have won Conor McGregor would have jumped into challenging him and when Jorge Masvidal won he is silent and may be the ego inside Conor is hurting him and i will not be surprised if he calls out Jorge Masvidal for the BMF title.

In my opinion, maybe he is just jealous about Masvidal getting the BMF belt but he really likes a good return so he is aiming for a great challenge even if he would challenge Khabib the one that defeated him in the past I think that there is no stopping him from that route.

White: Conor McGregor would replace Khabib or Ferguson at UFC 249 in case of injury

If Conor McGregor was really looking to be a back up fighter if Khabib or Tony falls off he would prepare for a 155 pound instead of bulking up and drag a fighter who is fighting at 155 pound and make him fight at 170 pounds, to be frank none of these makes sense as it will not be an easy task for Conor to cut down the weight even if he wants to in a short period of time.

Looking at this shoulders and muscles for McGregor I cant think of anything else but him using some kind of steroids.
I do hope they will be testing them before the match.

Or he could have focused more on shoulder and biceps/triceps during his training with metal Cheesy

Or this was achieved due to lots of wrestle training

From I cannot see the transformation to I can see the use of steroids hehehe.

In any case, @TopTort777, agreed that this new bulked Conor might be from wrestling. I speculate that we might see a different fighting style from him with more wrestling included similar to GSP style?

White: Conor McGregor would replace Khabib or Ferguson at UFC 249 in case of injury

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion, Conor McGregor, will be on standby in case of injury in the upcoming UFC 249 pay-per-view (PPV) main event, featuring Khabib Nurmagomedov (champion) and Tony Ferguson (challenger) in Brooklyn, New York.

when he was active and he helped changed the concept of fight promotion to a new level and if Conor wants to rematch Khabib or wants the BMF belt he might get that shot.

This is what is said earlier and if Conor McGregor wants to fight he will have the option to select any fighter he wants as the UFC match makers will give him any fights he wants but the only fight he cannot win is against a long time wrestler and i bet he cannot win a fight against Usman or Khabib nor Tyron Woodly as they will come up with a game plan to take Conor down and handle him on the ground.

Aside from Nate Diaz and GSP, Conor is also one of those guys who doesnt want to be juiced. I'm not ruling out the possibility though, let's wait for the test results after the fight.

All of the fighters in the UFC are undergoing intense drug testing process and it is difficult to avoid the testing agency for a long period of time as they can even test the past results because they will be holding all these specimens they collected for decades and that is why T.J. Dillashaw was caught even though he was escaping for a long time.

Quote from: Bttzed03 on January 02, 2020, 09:15:43 PM

I just watched a video from Masvidal's youtube channel, he and Usman is going to excite many fans if they decide to do it.

It will be a huge fight and Masvidal deserves the title shot and it will be a huge fight against Usman because of the recent fan following he got considering the long career of Masvidal.
