Conor McGregor - UFC Debut

What's everyones thoughts on this guy?

He looks like hes pretty good , beating almost everyone CW threw at him . but he better have some good TDD if he wants to win his debut.

@curtwag

I don't think his TDD is what he needs to worry about in this fight. It's the power that Brimage throws is what he needs to worry about. Marcus believes that Conor will turn into the wrestler once he hits him.

This is a really interesting matchup. McGregor has fought some solid competition in the Euro circuit and has looked impressive doing so, but has he fought someone as tough as Brimage before?

Brimage has looked solid throughout his UFC career thus far with his recent win over Hettes and Blanco. He's extremely dangerous in the opening round, but he sometimes slows down in the later rounds.

I like McGregor in this matchup... but Brimage has solid boxing and will put Conor to the test.


With all that said, I'm glad Conor is finally in the UFC. I like Brimage, but I'll be rooting for McGregor as he puts on high energy performances, likes to finish fights, and overall is just really fun to watch.

I dont see Brimage offering McGregor much at all.

Mini-Rampage will beat whoever the **** Conor McGregor is.

McGregor is no slouch! The problem is that his debut will be against Brimage.

Tell me about one European prospect with multiple losses who lost to the only guy he's ever fought with a Wikipedia page that lived up to the hype... Don't worry I'll wait.

Mcgregor doesn't make it to UFC 180.

I'd have to agree with nick here.  I have conor winning in the 2nd, maybe third.  But it's hard to tell what can happen.
