Sonam Lama Fuckin Knew Dana and Lorenzo were Bullshitting when I heard the way Gregor was talkin here... It's PLAIN to see Gregor Knows Aldo is only 50/50 to make the Fight - Gregors is talkin already as if he's fightin Mendes, just listen to him.. So I Googled and It's OFFICIAL the Brazilian Contraceptive has Pulled Out AGAIN.. Lost a little respect for Aldo after the dodgy Drug Test and I'm guessing in Brazil he managed to give a "Fake Urine" and knows he WON'T get away with that in Nevada where both Fighters are Tested again in Title Fights..

Mur mur mur mur mur!

[@sundarchip]

@Enigma McC Khabib is not smaller than him. Conor is 5'9" and Khabib is 5'10". Khabib also reportedly walks around at 200 lbs whereas Conor walks around at about 170 lbs. Conor just has a higher reach (74") than Khabib (70") although that doesn't matter because of Khabib's fighting style.

[@sundarchip]

@Kitty Razor Yes but doesn't change the fact that Khabib is not smaller than Conor. I would say they are both equally sized although Conor does LOOK more muscular and has the longer reach. Unless they stand side-by-side I guess Conor probably looks bigger.

[@shumi3735]

Credit where credit is due... I really respect how conor handled this whole situation.

[@shumi3735]

He didnt beg

[@jkino78]

***** so you don't find it strange that Aldo has postponed 5 title fights? That when there was still doubt over his injury, the whole world knew about it? He doesn't have a broken rib, he probably doesn't even have a bruised one....what he probably has is a dirty urine sample that they don't want to risk in Nevada. McGregor is an Irishman, "stand up and fight" has been the fighting Irish anthem for years now. You can say what you like, this guy respects the fans and the people investing money in him, that's worth something.

[@pablopicazos]

jkino78 Right on the money. Aldo doesn't want to fight outside Brazil especially not after Anderson was popped and Vitor was steamrolled in the first round without his TRT.

[@stephenobrien1200]

After all the bollix at the start (first 2-3 minutes), he does talk some sense and I believe he's genuinely confident in his ability. I also think he makes a fair point about the bookies and Aldo backing down at the end. Mendes will be a though task to over come regardless.

[@zeekthegeek4538]

I miss this connor and this era in the ufc 😔

[@doubleja]

Hespect to Conor for choosing to make the weight and fight Mendes on short notice, over 155 with Nate Diaz. If Mendes has been keeping in shape, I see Mendes by decision. If Conor can beat Mendes...the hype for the inevitable Aldo fight would be unreal... Datch title unification doe...

[@John_17x]

Jon Ag why did you mention Nate Diaz? conor couldn't last 2 rounds with him. or his brother (and conor said himself he would even go to welterweight) !!! I say good luck to that, I don't see him beating any top lightweight fighters let alone welterweight !!!!! people put too much fucking praise on this guy !!! do we forget he only just got done fighting the ranked no 10 guy Denis Siver in which it took him 2 rounds to do? ps. DONT even fucking use Poirier as an excuse to say conor is great, Dustin was landing a couple of shots too during that fight, he got dropped but the man was willing to fight on and was not even close to being out cold. it was not a definitive win !!! he won because of an arguable premature stoppage, now im not saying he wouldn't have won anyway but I am saying Poirier would have preferred conor to try and fight him on the ground and he was not knocked out so it was a bad stoppage !!! ive seen so much worse being allowed to continue !!!

[@doubleja]

***** Let's not feed da troll.

[@u8sumthinbad]

TruthSeeker Poirier was done in that fight. He came to after the ref stopped it and then bitched about it. Dennis Siver was a no.10 fighter and Connor kicked his ass in 2 rounds. Any other fighter would have taken longer and probably ended up in a 5 round hugging match. Slan.

[@John_17x]

u8sumthinbad Poirier was fine !!!! ive seen much worse being allowed to continue, i didn't get a shock that they stopped it early for mcgregor, they wouldn't have wanted their cash cow to go to ground to get beaten !!!! and I expect your biased opinion though cos that's all it is. regardless. chad mendes and Frankie edgar and Aldo are not a bum ranked 10 who has done nothing in mma !!! you say ranked 10 like its a great ranking to have !!!! lol pathetic. and yeah 2 rounds for a guy SO GREAT as conor to beat a bum ranked 10 who was a midget. lol great show !!!! your pathetic and I wont even reply to you. conor has fought no one and never been tested. all we have seen is his striking is very good. that's it and its been vs guys tailor made for him not a man like Chad Mendes who CAN take him down and see what he has on the ground cos we don't fucking know anything about conor other than his striking and that he taps as soon as someone gets a submission (joe duffy your a legend) lmfao

[@dubbud74]

TruthSeeker His loss to Joe was around 5years ago, as a white belt in bjj btw b4 Aldo pulled out Joe chose Conor to win in rd3.
