I come from an Irish heritage myself, and I think MacDucker is a total douchebag, as well as highly overrated as a fighter. Certainly not representative of what my grandparents taught me what "being Irish" was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was cashing welfare checks before the UFC and looks like he is acting like the welfare trash that he is. I mean who the hell flies with a bunch of thugs all the way over from Ireland to attack Khabib because he " disrespected " Connors friend!? Get over yourself! That is just retarded , unprofessional and uncivilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Great, Ferguson is out and now Max Holloway is out because he couldn't make weight and now they put in Anthony Pettis who has lost a bunch of his last fights. Doubt I pay for this card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just retarded , unprofessional and uncivilized. I never even thought he was that great of a fighter. Good Power and timing, but little else. Knocking out Aldo was ver impressive (perhaps lucky punch but still) .... the rest of his fights have been carefully selected ... Denis Siver hyped up as contender, which we was not. An out of shape Mendes on short notice), Nate Diaz sells sue to his personality... but is only average as a UFC fighter. A very overrated Eddie Alvararez .... if he ever got in the ring with Khabib, woodley, even dos anjos he would be exposed very wuickly. Too bad about UFC 223.... Pettis vs Khabib will be a total mismatch. Pettis cannot wrestle at all .... and as soon as he throws one of his kicks at Khabibulin, he is getting taken down. Edit. Apparently changed again to raging AL I a Quinta. Edited April 6, 2018 by CamboBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way. There are going to be numerous lawsuits over this and it wouldn't surprise me if one of them was filed by the UFC.

He's not a great fighter, which is why he avoids anyone anywhere near his size with even the remote possibility of taking him down. He's a promotional machine who can sell his fight to a buncha mouthbreathers, which is great for the bottom line and the biggest reason the UFC keeps making the matches they're making.

They don't want him to lose, bottom line. Aldo should have gotten a rematch. They are reluctant to do a trilogy with Diaz because they know he can beat Connor. 10 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: There is always another cash cow, Dana is not worried.

Buffalo716 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Connor is Ok but a bit overrated... like others have said he is a promotional machine and knows which fights to take the fact he did lose to a Diaz who is a fan favorite but not a true champion shows he is far from untouchable he has a **** personality too... way too much of a dbag When Lesnar comes back I bet he fails another drug test eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there was words between connor's friend Artem Lobov, who is from Russia, and Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is also from Russia but they are different ethnicity. Who knows what was said but it must have been big enough for Connor to throw a temper tantrum. 5 hours ago, RaoulDuke79 said: When you essentially make a living talking **** on other people, how can you get that offended by someone disrespecting one of your friends?

The UFC president did not have a date in mind the for ex-heavyweight champion’s comeback, however. Lesnar still must serve six months for his USADA suspension stemming from failed drug tests in relation to UFC 200."

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Nurmagomedov put in a solid performance against one days notice Al Iaquinta but he will get knocked out by Connor Mcgregor if he tries to strike with him as his head up position is begging to get cracked.

You mean because every fighter fights every other fighter using the same strategy? Khabib wouldn't stand with McGregor for any length of time. He'd start pressuring him immediately to ensure CM's minimal gas tank and pathetic take down defense and ground game would guarantee a short fight.

Khabbi could afford to play a bit against Iaquinta. It seems he wanted to prove he could go 5 rounds and also prove he could hold his own in stand up against a qualified striker. He did both. Against McDucker, Khabib will drag him down and poor old Conor will tap out within a minute. The dude has no heart as shown in the first Diaz fight where he started looking for a way out when Diaz started busting him up in stand up. All in all, it turned out to be a pretty good fight card ... the ladies brought it and some unknown guys like Bochniak put on good shows even in defeat. Respect to IaQuinta for a gutsy showing .... Lauzon needs to hang them up though. Edited April 9, 2018 by CamboBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor made a to of improvements after losing to Diaz and is why he beat him the second time. Connor may be an arrogant prick but he knows what he has to do to be a better fighter.
