Topic: UFC 205: Alvarez vs McGregor Prediction and Info Thread - page 6. (Read 4040 times)
The safe bet remains McGregor win, possibly by TKO or submission. After he wins this, he will go for the Nate Diaz trilogy I presume. I think Nate Diaz said he will not fight again until McGregor fights him again. Tons of money to be made on that third fight.
Just dropping by to post a couple of videos. They're not really helpful in picking a winner but they are really entertaining. It's funny when fighters actually get real and is caught on camera, especially in the second video. 
all the British fighters are rooting for mcgregor to win ,may be because they are afraid that the fans would turn against them
the rest of the fighters are not impressed with his attitude or may be jealous as he is earning much more than all the established fighters

this is one of the greatest fight card they have,even the free fights are stacked with top level fights,i wonder how the ticket price will be,i bet it will be a huge price tag for the main card and this will easily be the biggest pay day for the UFC and it will surpass every pay per view records as well as the fighters involved in this card will earn huge .
Every movement in the celebrity world is just to get buzz and clicks/views and make themselves famous. Connor Mcgregor move to throw the glass of water and all the trashtalking is just a way to sell tickets. Mayweather is a master of this and when he was younger he used to do it a lot. In his last fights he didn't even bother to trash talk anymore since he was a cashcow and he didn't need to do anything but show up.

Too much hype being created again for a fight of McGregor, yet he is just all thrash talk after he moved up to a higher weight class. He was defeated and tapped out on his first match with Nate Diaz and on the 2nd match he struggled, let me use that term "struggled" because comparing how he fight on his old weight category he moves faster and he looks more dangerous while on his 2nd match with Diaz he is slow and looking at his post fight interview he is on crutches.
NAC Executive Director: Conor McGregor Bottle-Gate Fine $75k Not $150k

This is a simple case of the media being the media and McGregor 'over reacting' in order to promote the fight more and add more interest to it. This is a business move by McGregor. And after he earns more millions of USD from 205, he'll pay the fine and organize another fight in Nevada.

I thought instead of paying that hefty fine, Conor McGregor will just do a community service? 75K is still small amount to pay for a big payday on his UFC 202 fight with Nate Diaz. All negative publicity against McGregor will just hype up UFC 205. More PPV pay-in and more ticket sales.
Exactly. All moves coming from the camp of McGregor are calculated. They are working up the crowd to get more sales. So that means a huge pay day for them. The funny thing is we love getting played like fools.
Glad to see the full post was already released hoping to see a unexpected match between the both of them. Too bad for Jose Aldo waiting for Connor Mc Gregor for months but still no response from the champion. In my opinion this match will be over in three rounds a technical knock out by Alvarez or maybe a decision if you Mc Gregor will run away again from his opponent.

@Clement Kaliyar. You get it. That is all done to get attention from as many fans and as many people that are not UFC fans possible. I am not saying that Conor is not being fined, it is real. But he welcomes it because it will give him a chance for the media to talk about him more and also UFC 205. After the fight of course he will settle. Who is stupid enough to want to get banned in Nevada? That will be bad for business from the side of Conor and the UFC.
@Rubberduckie. They are blowing this out of proportion on purpose. Of course the Nevada Athletic Commission will settle the matter with Conor. Nothing is set in stone when it comes to these things. The UFC and Conor Mcgregor's camp are trying to gain as much publicity as possible to promote the fight.
See what the news did to you? You reacted. That is what they want.

exactly ,mcgregor knows how to manage a situation and promote himself to his advantage,such a skillful entrepreneur,just following the steps of the great Ali ,but the incident of throwing water bottles and beer can, is really a dangerous situation as there are people sitting in that media room,these sort of incidents have to be punished if not these events keep on continuing and civilians could seriously get hurt in the name of fight promotion
still cannot believe McGregor was being fined 150k for throwing water
bottles at the diaz presser lol.
He said he will never fight in Vegas again. Big loss for that state in income
and they should take back the fine that is ridiculous amount for them just
being silly promoting the fight.

Connor McGregor is a businessman at the end of the day, and he is right now a big cash cow and he knows he can get away with claiming that to make pressure because they know the will give in and remove the fine.

Alvarez is going beat McGregor because McGregor only talks big but to be honest I do not think that he is as good but the thing is that h has much confidence in him self.
Having confidence is the most important because those people will never hesitate in what they do so he has the advantage in that.

You got it all wrong. McGregor is all confidence. I mean look at all his fights after he won the FW title from Aldo. He fought Diaz twice outside his own division. Remember that WW is two divisions up. Now he's putting everything on the line in UFC 205. His reputation and his career are on the line here and that's a huge risk. I'd say the guy has the ego and more confidence than all of the UFC fighters combined. And keep in mind that taking this fight is a liability to him since he had only a short time to rest since the last fight vs Diaz.
one thing i respect about connor mcgregor is that he will not shy away from a fight and he is ready to take any short notice fight which no other fighters will dare to take ,mcgregor knows he has to make the maximum amount of money when he can and that is the reason he is doing it,if he fails against alvarez he can always go down to 145 pound division as he is still a champion der.diaz is a 155 pound fighter and the match was scheduled to 170 in the first fight because diaz took the fight in less than 10 days time and it is not possible to reach 155 in such short notice and the second fight connor wanted diaz at 170 while diaz wants him at 155,so two weight class fight is just an excuse

@pereira4. No it is much better for Conor McGregor to go after UFC history by holding two championship belts at the same time. If he becomes the light weight champion, then Nate Diaz can challenge him for the belt. The 3rd fight between them will be more exciting if it will happen that way.
There is now also some news that Dominic Cruz wants to fight Conor in either feather weight or light weight. He too is looking for a challenge.

Yeah that's right, it will be a lot more epic if he wins, but there is the chance that he loses and then the 3rd fight against Diaz becomes boring (more so than if he didn't fight now). He has balls to fight again before the 3rd Diaz fight since he can ruin his career by losing.
