Compared to me, yes, Conor has very good BJJ. Relative to most mma fighters with BJJ training Conor is dog *****. Belts are overrated. Conor used to have a decent guillotine whereby he would jump on his opponent’s head and then fall to the ground. It’s not so effective anymore. Just ask Dustin. I thought of another top 10 guy who would completely starch Conor, btw. Islam Makhachev. He’s gonna get a title shot eventually. I’d love to see him fight a Gaethje or Chandler. To your point about Conor beating Mayweather under MMA rules...I agree. Was just busting some McGregor fanboys’ stones that’s all. I do think Mayweather might last longer than most expect, however, because he’s so elusive and his strike defense is incredible.

Yeah, maybe a bit of hyperbole on my part. I guess my point is I think he’s overrated because of his popularity. He isn’t the fighter he once was. He always has the chance of hitting that KO shot, but even his power isn’t what it used to be. I see him as more of a fringe top 10 guy as a lightweight. I don’t think he can beat Poirier, Gaethje, Dariush, Charlie Olives, Chandler or Hooker. He might have a puncher’s chance against guys like Ferguson or Dos Anjos. Just my opinion though. I guess my over-arching point is that (IMO) Conor will never sniff a title shot again, and if he does for some reason, he doesn’t deserve it.

Care to elaborate?

Apparently, if you don’t immediately express the desire to execute Mingo in the streets without yet learning all the facts, you are a filthy scumbag. I still believe in innocent until proven guilty like many “awful” people have also posted in this thread, so I guess I’m a proponent of raping children also 😒

Of course. I was a McGregor fan in the past, but I just couldn’t take his idiot nonsense anymore. There’s some talk now that his next opponent would likely be Tony Ferguson...which makes sense, but I think Tony would sub him quickly. Conor is too one dimensional as a striker and really struggles against better grapplers. The reality for Conor is that he’s not going to beat any of the top 10 lightweight guys. That division is stacked, and Conor’s skills are clearly on the decline. But as soon as he is healed from this injury, I’m positive Dana will absolutely roll out the Irish clown car once again and rake in the PPV money. As long as people will pay for it, why wouldn’t he? And why wouldn’t Conor collect a huge paycheck for getting roughed up for a couple rounds?

Ain’t no such thing as a free trip to Six Flags...as they say. In all seriousness though, I hope Mingo is afforded all the protections of legal due process, and IF found guilty, punished accordingly.

I think he might for the right amount of money! 😂🤣 He did just fight a ***** YouTuber for chrissakes! He’s quick enough that he could probably evade or stuff any McGregor level changes. Conor’s BJJ sucks anyway. I’d lay a play down on Mayweather for sure. I think he could piece him up.

Rock on dude! Love it. You should do Tool’s 46&2 for us!

Spiders, heights, and white people who wear camo when they’re not hunting.

Well, he is one of the better strikers in mma history, so boxing for him wasn’t completely uncharted territory. Let’s not not make it out like he was a basketball player being asked to play in a NHL game or something.

Wendy’s pretzel pub burger is legit tho.

Arby’s curly fries are elite. I don’t think Wendy’s are even fries, technically. Pressed and breaded fried potato food is more like it.

He sucks now AND is an ass hat. Bad combo. He just embarrassed himself further last night with his post-fight comments. Too bad. Was hoping for Dustin to punish him for a couple more rounds. Looks like Poirier will fight Do Bronx for the title now, who I think he will beat.

Yepppp! I wonder what position would be best with those giant muscular thighs in play?

What’s up man. This is what I’m hearing. The staff feels good about getting either of Starling/Copeland. More likely Copeland, but Starling remains firmly in the picture. Both have other big suitors. Chance Westry is out from what I’m hearing. Cuse once again having trouble recruiting bigs for ‘22.

Oh, I don’t know. It is a HUGE international news story. There’s probably going to be 160+ confirmed dead before it’s all said and done, sadly. Also some information about the 2018 reports related to the building being deemed in need of serious maintenance. The city building inspector announcing at some community meeting shortly thereafter that the building was “in good shape.” Ya know...stuff like that maybe?

You told us. Are you going to have to kill us all now? 😟

So I’m down here in Miami Beach on vacation this week. Our resort is just a shade over 4 miles north of the condo collapse. I have found it interesting that no one down here really talks about it, and there seems to be very little coverage of it on the local news. I was watching the local news yesterday morning expecting a big “story” with a lot of details. It was just a 5 second blurb about how the search for survivors was still going on. No other details at all. Very strange.

I think there’s a good chance of landing Quadir Copeland and/or Chance Westry.

I’ve contacted my attorney, @BringBackFergy, about suing you for creating this thread.

G-Mac was the primary recruiter for both Lands and Taylor. Props to the man. Mike Hopkins who?

Hope so. If he can learn to create off the dribble he might actually be a legit PG. Last season he was not good. Averaged 3.5 assists per game and shot 33% from deep? No bueno for a supposed sharp shooting PG. I’m certainly rooting for him though.

Who knows at this point? Probably better off in the long run. Talent is undeniable, but I get the impression that Dior is kind of a pain in the ass. Interesting that he could be playing with Quincy tho.

Dylan is from Whitehorse?! I had to stay overnight there twice on my drive to and from Alaska. What an absolute dump 🤢

He’s back out in California after whatever happened at Oak Hill Academy. To his credit, however, it sounds like his decommit from Syracuse was supported (and perhaps encouraged) by the coaching staff. Looks like he got his academics in order...
