@cjmoles. Maybe Conor is a bad match up for Eddie Alvarez. There are some instances like these where it is different with how the fighter played the match in his mind and how it really is in actual fighting. Whatever the reason is, the fans will not pay to watch Conor versus Alvarez 2 for the time being. Maybe in the future if Alvarez improves and shows that he is in the level of Conor.

Yeah. Thats right. Maybe they were just intimidated with the fighter. I remember how Conor knocks Aldo out. Conor is really good at precission and precission beats speed. At McGregor v Alvarez, Alvarez has a weak defense and thats Conor expose.us. No match against a fighter with better accuracy. Alvarez is careless so hes fucked.

See....Alvarez was a wrestler who knew that McGregor has a history of gassing out in three rounds, yet he didn't even shoot in on Conor and stayed right within Conor's range....Alvarez knew Conor had the reach; why didn't he close the gap? It was just a very odd fight....it smells to me. Can't wait for Nate to hold up that belt though....smile. Nate won't mail it in....that's for sure!

It is obviously that Conor McGregor had the reach advantage compare to Eddie Alvarez. In the first round McGregor always keeping the distance with him, cheap shot with his right on the face...bang bang... connected near on his ear... knocked down and round 2 Conor dominated it. If Eddie attack using using his leg as a decoy maybe he can take down Conor and got a chance to defeat him but I doubt. I am looking forward for the triology of Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz, or Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo or, Khabib vs McGregor.

I was away for the weekend and finally just got a chance to watch the fight. I was
avoiding all the threads and all the sports news lol.

Wow I think it's fair to say Mcgregor is the most polarizing fighter
since Mike Tyson. I know mayweather is great but was kinda boring and just
so good at defense.

He is probably the current "baddest man on the planet" right now. Mayweather just called him out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVeRk7piOnk

He called him an ant, saying he is an elephant. I think the fight will happen.. look at the millions of views this stuff gets. If the Conor Mcgregor vs Mayweather happens we could be talking about the highest paid fight ever with the most views ever. Im sure both will agree to fight for the right amount of money.

Perhaps, I agree with you that Conor McCregor is a bad ass.

Regarding on Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather this just a bullshit I am sick of this, respect for the both fighters, you can't compare of the two because they have a different ground. Some fans don't understand the difference level of MMA compared to a professional boxer. A mma fighter focus on his striking both hands and feet, grappling, etc... while a boxer has completely dedicated his hands for perfection. If both fighter clashes on their prime fight with both hands only? Off course I will go with Mayweather. Just a vice versa though.

Mayweather is a good boxer and one of the best ever to have played in the sport but he's beginning to be a joke now. He's surely doing this to gain publicity and hustle McGregor out of his money. And I think McGregor knows this, hence the 100 million USD asking price to fight Mayweather.

just saw on tmz the guy asked mayweather about mcgregor and he said
that he didn't even know he fought lol.... cmon now, he also went on to
say how he was insulted to even be mentioned with cmac in the same sentence
or being compared to him as the floyd of the ufc.

I am hoping he is hyping up the possibility of the fight and a huge payday.

Conor already replied to the Mayweather fight and he said he is willing to box with him if the money is right and he is looking for an amount of over 100 million for the fight and he even said that Mayweather wont dare to step inside the cage for a real fight which is MMA and that is true,Mayweather wont have a chance if he is to fight in MMA but he is the best defensive boxer of all time and he does know how to promote a fight

McGregor has reached the top of his career now and he can do something that can not be done by other fighters since he did first debuted on MMA it all happened fairly quickly untill the latest fight and i remember that when he was interviewed after his victory he say that will not apologize with all that he had done because the champion can do anything what he want

@DaddyMonsi. Try looking at the situation from the point of view of Conor McGregor. What would his interest be in a rematch versus Eddie Alvarez? The fight was dominated by Conor and it was like Alvarez was put to a clinic to show how a real fighter should fight.

If Alvarez climbs the ladder again to the no.1 ranking at light weight then maybe Conor will fight him out of duty. He may not like it, but maybe he will. We all know Conor calls his own fights. He was urged to defend is bantam weight belt vs Aldo by Dana White but chose to fight Alvarez.

Its still too early to say that a McGregor Vs Alavarez 2 will not be as successful as McGregor Vs Alavarez 1. McGregor won in a very convincing manner so if you say that today, its like asking people to watch the fight again. But, if Alvarez takes a few matches and win just like how he ends his fights prior to UFC 205 and climb the ladder again to the number 1 spot in his division then who are we to stop UFC to give Alvarez to redeem himself.

@thejaytiesto. Are you saying that Conor had the total advantage due to his longer reach alone? This has not been a problem for Alvarez in his past fights, so why mention this now? Conor won because he was clearly the better fighter. He was fast, had good timing and was precise with his punches and kicks. What does he need to do to prove himself to the doubters?

A loss is a loss, there still time for the two to fight again in the future, it was a good fight indeed but I can tell already that Conor is gonna win the game, he is so aggressive and has a good work ethics. Sadly, I miss to be the game because I was busy on my work, can anyone tell me what is the odds for betting with Conor on the fight? Should be a better odds because he was the challenger..

I don't think so. Alvarez is done and a non factor now as long as McGregor is concerned. The fight was a one sided affair and there wasn't even a peep from Alvarez except for the couple of leg kicks thrown in the first round.

However if the fight was close and came like the McGregor vs Diaz II fight then who knows, Alvarez might be given a shot in a big money fight vs Conor again. For now, McGregor is going for bigger and better match ups.

Well, I'm not buying it....Eddie didn't fight as he usually does. He knew Conor had the reach advantage....everybody did....so, why wasn't he closing the gap by shooting in more....This fight just didn't feel right! But, well, we know how these things go down when big money is involved.....Eddie didn't even show-up for this fight.

Honestly McGregor had the reach advantage.... he had same height as Alvarez, with a big ass advantage in reach! how is this possible? is it only because his arms are longer?

Reach advantage is a major key in fights... this fight was a safe bet for McGregor, but so was the Hillary win bet, and she lost.. so you ever know.. beware when going all in on something that seems impossible to be lost, that small % of lossing may cost your entire net worth.

I just saw the fight because I was too tired to stay awake until it started, so I went to a website and saw it. Well, what can I say? It's really awesome how McGregor handled it. The combination of punches that KO'd Eddie were awesome, he's so quick and sharp.

I didn't gamble because I wasn't sure so I didn't win or lose any money.

Now the Mayweather vs McGregor rumors seem to begin again.

Oh please. I would rather watch McGregor vs Ferguson in a real MMA fight than watch Mayweather fight him. And from what I hear, Mayweather wants a lot of rules and limitations set up if he fights. He's just out there for the money and to stay relevant. I say Conor should just avoid fighting vs him if it wasn't by his rules.

Let's face it, boxing is dying in a real way. There's just no growing interest in it if you compare it to MMA and especially the UFC. This is its golden age and we should feel lucky to have lived in a time to witness it happen before our eyes.

McGregor needs Mayweather if he wants a 9 figure payday, and even if Mayweather is rich for life and retired, if he is offered a 9 figure payday, he will come out of retirement because he is a businessman at the end of the day.

Im pretty sure McGregor is really interested in seeing the fight happening, and he will accept Mayweather rules (basically a regular boxing match) because again, Mayweather is the strong hand in the negotiations. I think he has like 1% chance of winning against Mayweather in a boxing match, but everyone is going to see that fight like it or not, which is why a lot of people think it's very possible that it happens.

There will be millions of dollars in bets alone that night. I know if the fight happens, im going all in on Mayweather.

I just recently saw the fight. I havent seen the way alvarez fights like that. He may be not in the 110% condition it is just because mcgregor is too good."they are not on my level" whos next?

i did watching too this fight and since the beginning of fight Alvarez has knockout by McGregor it's looks like McGregor has very enjoyed and very dominate the fight and this time McGregor is more confident and also he fight with very entertaining and he has deserve to win

This guy may really be the biggest star in the UFC right now. This is mcgregor's era. Well yeah alvarez is a good fighter as well but as mcgregor said " they are not on my average" and he continue proving this one. I am much more excited on his next oponent.

His (Conor) performance in UFC 205 is superb, he is cool and wait for the right timing to throw his jabs. He did not panicked when Alvarez tried to take him down. After every knock down, he checks if there's an opportunity to finish Alvarez, unlike others when they knock down their opponent, they immediately follow up with a barrage of punch or hammer fist but sometimes it backfires one example is the first match of Lesnar and Mir.

Conor's mic skills is his strength and he is quite accurate when he throws a punch last weekend. It's going to be another box office hit if UFC will push for the Conor vs Nate 3 but there are some articles written after UFC 205 that Woodley also wants a piece of Conor.

I was also able to see those, the other thing that i saw about how gregor fight is that he open his fingers and try to hold alaverz arms which is so annoying for alvarez of course, and that stabbing front kick is keeping gregor from his phase. I think woodley would be to heavy for conor but let's see on what is going to happen
