UFC 246: McGregor vs. Cerrone

lol Mcgregor is not 'one of the best ever'. He's never defended a belt and he's 2-2 from his last four. He's a Gimmick with a good left cross.

Nobody who is one of the best ever loses to Diaz then sc****s by him in the rematch. Masvidal just beat the living **** out of Nate to put that into perspective.  He's the best of all time at inspiring idolatry from tweens and imbeciles, but that's about it really.  The same type of people who fan out on Conor give their money to TV Evangelists.

His FW run was good, but I do believe that this was in large part owing to the fact he's a LW. I'm pretty sure if he fought Max again now he would get merked.....that was pre reinvented Holloway who became far better than I ever though he would.

The LW title capture didn't impress me, I knew he'd KO Alvarez. If he hadn't done it, Eddie wouldn't have held that belt long anyway, I believe his best years were behind him before he was on the UFC roster. I like Eddie but he's great at getting starched....I mean really he kinda pulled a rabbit out of his ass against RDA. And you're forgetting the most important part; he didn't do anything to deserve that fight anyway.That was the most ridiculous **** in the history of the division. He earned the fight with Alvarez by getting subbed by Diaz, then getting a rubber match, and scraping through that. 

Conor Mcgregor is a good striker who does well against Orthodox Muay Thai guys (which is why he will smoke Cerrone incidentally), but he's not rounded, doesn't do well against fellow boxers who he doesn't outsize, and will basically never beat someone like Khabib. Really any high-level grappler in good condition will control him pretty easily.  I actually think Gregor Gillespie would dominate him, even after the Kevin Lee loss. He's got a better shot at beating Ferguson than either of those guys but it's equally possible he gets murdered by Tony.

eh, I dunno. He might not have gotten finished but he got wobbled in just about every fight. As I say I wasn't surprised he got smoked and I think if RDA had rematched him RDA would have won. I was surprised he didn't get deaded by Gathje but I mean really that's the kind of fight that ends in KO for either guy 50% of the time.

I dunno, I never bought a ticket to the circus. He got shoehorned into a title shot against a guy he matched up well with and overall his LW record is pretty ordinary. When he faced someone he didn't match up well with he got ****d horribly...that fight wasn't even competitive.

To be a great you have to beat the best...and he's not done that, yet. My guess is he doesn't.

@Free dunno why you think I'd be crying. After all I got to watch Nurmy put a righteous assraping on him then jump out of the ring and start laying into his dork of a trainer. And then I got to watch him have a meltdown about it ipso facto on social media like the narcissistic spanked Diva he was and still is, going by all appearances.

Addendum: Don't talk to me about how Jones is a ************* while supporting a ****** who punches old men at the Pub. Neither is worse than the other--unless we're talking about fighting in which case Mcgregor is definitely worse.

Yeah, I know. The whole clownshow is about to begin again. It won't be different, and anyone actually looking forward to it is more than slightly ******** or has a short memory. It was boring about a week into it the first time....I won't even tune in til the day of the fight this go around.
