Mcgregor’s 145 post scale interviews are always great to watch. Like how tf is this guy even talking 💀 prime Mcgregor’s mindset was just different from now that he’s rich.
He did force fights to be pulled from a card because he turned up with a gang of his mates and tried to attack a fighter and ended up injuring other fighters supposed to fight that weekend
Yea he may have attacked a bus full of fellow fighters even causing glass to fly into and damage the eye of one of them and he may have also made a classless comment about the dead father of another fighter but at least he didn’t miss weight
I disagree. He said Holland is a more favorable opponent. While Nate has better bjj, Holland actually has real KO power. Not to mention that Holland is way bigger than Diaz. He might even weigh more than Chimaev in the cage today.
Same, I was shocked by how reasonable this take was, considering Conor's the only person who would pull some stunt of this magnitude. What's even more interested is that he's taking issue with this even though he benefits hugely. This means that there will be a guaranteed victor between Nate and Tony that will likely call Conor out if there's no retirement.
The smirk on his face shows that he feels like there's no real consequences for his actions. I mean, he doesn't have to cut weight, gets a fight that he wants, doesn't get a percentage of pay taken away, I doubt he was getting PPV points so he's probably taking home the same amount of money at the end of the day.
Well, he did lose an easy win with one of the biggest names in the sport and now he’s fighting a dangerous contender who’s a higher weight class. It’s stupid that he’s not getting fined but I doubt his situation got better
I think he was closer but had to get some fluids into him. Didn’t look dehydrated much. But yeah, 7.5lbs is still 7.5lbs, that’s what the records will show.
Conor has always been all business. He’d distract people with his antics but he was always in control when it came to promoting the fight and showing up.
Conor is generally right, but the part about the more favorable bout arranged for the failed cutter is false. I understand that it makes Conor look good the more Diaz looks good, but Diaz was a dead man walking until yesterday. The perfect situation came up, allowing him to not fight khamzat while claiming some kind of victory. Holland on the other hand is the same size as Khamzat and has dangerous power in his hands.
I see his point though, we've seen Holland absolutely dominated on the ground in multiple fights now and that is obviously his biggest weakness by far, and now he's fighting Khamzat who is an absolute monster on the ground.
It's still favorable in that he's getting a welterweight. Khamzat can't make 170, he struggled last time and this time he completely missed the boat. He's gotta be forced to go up a division.
Everybody agreeing with Conor here, but Khamzat didn't get a more favourable matchup. Now he has a short notice fight against a non washed fighter with better striking and something to prove. He probably still wins easily, but he was going to walk through Diaz's journeyman ass who already has one foot out the door and couldn't give two shits what happens.
Holland is not a more favorable matchup, he’s just sucking off Nate bc he pretends to be respectful every once in awhile, he’ll be back to insulting dead relatives in no time
The only reason we don't have the final form of Dana Red on our hands is because the miss/drama hyped up a sleeper card and the shifts actually made the card better on paper. Khamzat got lucky the stars aligned, that's all. Next fool that does this will probably get crucified.
Hate McGregor, but don't like seeing Khamzat get rewarded for this. Leech and Holland getting the short end of these sticks, being suddenly thrown against opponents that are 10lbs heavier or 10x scarier. Holland been training for a boxer and now has to fight a wrestler.
This weight cutting stuff has to lead to a dimished product there’s just no way you can fully recover from putting your body into severe dehydration in 24 hours so why do we keep doing it? If I had to guess your chin takes the biggest hit and there would be less knockout finishes if they took away weight cutting. Shit, maybe that’s why they haven’t taken it away. Finishes are good for business after all. The fighters are going to do whatever they can to get an edge and at this point you have to weight cut or youre at a disadvantage because everyone else is.
He’s exactly right, which is why I think Khamzat and Dana schemed this crazy shit up. It turned into a significantly better card because he missed weight and didn’t even try to make it. This is some WWE shit honestly
Weird that they advised that, after he was photographed relaxing at a restaurant for hours the night before. It's almost like he stopped cutting, or hadn't been cutting at all really, because he knew something in advance.
The guy who threw a dolly through a bus and injures several fighters in the process causing a card to be re-configured said this. He also got rewarded with the most high profile fight ppv of all time.
Conor ruined an entire ppv throwing a dolly at a bus, got glass in Ray borgs eye when he was fighting to earn money for his sick kid. 4 fights got cancelled and conor got a title shot with the footage used to sell the fight.
He ain't wrong
FW Conor at weigh-ins looked legit scary
Mcgregor’s 145 post scale interviews are always great to watch. Like how tf is this guy even talking 💀 prime Mcgregor’s mindset was just different from now that he’s rich.
He's a lot of things, but the man showed up on weight and ready to go.
Damn, I hate to agree with him...
He did force fights to be pulled from a card because he turned up with a gang of his mates and tried to attack a fighter and ended up injuring other fighters supposed to fight that weekend
“In my day we didn’t need to miss weight to derail an entire card”
As much as I hate on him, I 100% agree with him.
True, always made weight, has fought injured, and accepted late replacements. An asshole outside the cage, but mans always delivers with the fights.
He's absolutely correct. Should have had Dustin step in and kept the card the same but either way I'm MUCH more interested in this card now.
I don’t know he didn’t look good punching that old guy either.
He also chucked a dolly with no consequence
Cranky old man
Say what you want about Conor, but he never missed weight. Even when he looked like the Skeletor at 145.
As much shit as people give Conor, he did what he had to do to become champion.
Showing up at the stipulated weight and fighting despite last minute changes is a big part of super-stardom in MMA. TALK THE TALK. WALK THE WALK.
Yea he may have attacked a bus full of fellow fighters even causing glass to fly into and damage the eye of one of them and he may have also made a classless comment about the dead father of another fighter but at least he didn’t miss weight
He also chucked a dolly at a bus with little consequences

Lucid Conor frightens me
The fact he used “where” instead of “were” is the only thing that gives me comfort
Mythical Teetotal Conor.
New character arc. Logical, level headed Conor.
It's like when the schizophrenic dude on the subway suddenly calms down and asks you if you're having a nice day.
Can't take coke when recovering from that kind of leg break.
I agree, the issue is that leaves the Leech with no opponent.
Give him his money, let him wear the suit and make him the ring girl.
That’s what I’m confused about. Leech is fighting someone 10lbs heavier now due to all this. Why not let Khamzat and Nate fight then?
Would it be dumb to bet on Leech for this?
Have DP step in and keep everything the same?
He’s right here
You know, for once I actually agree with him.
I disagree. He said Holland is a more favorable opponent. While Nate has better bjj, Holland actually has real KO power. Not to mention that Holland is way bigger than Diaz. He might even weigh more than Chimaev in the cage today.

For once I agree with him 100%

Because it was set up
it did make the card like 2x better though.
Well, he did lose an easy win with one of the biggest names in the sport and now he’s fighting a dangerous contender who’s a higher weight class. It’s stupid that he’s not getting fined but I doubt his situation got better
With all that sense he's talking Conor's dealer must be running late today
Post nut clarity conor

He always made weight like a pro
Totally agree with him here.
Completely agree. Missing weight by 7 pounds is really unprofessional.
I think he was closer but had to get some fluids into him. Didn’t look dehydrated much. But yeah, 7.5lbs is still 7.5lbs, that’s what the records will show.
Conor has always been all business. He’d distract people with his antics but he was always in control when it came to promoting the fight and showing up.
That bus incident begs to differ.
Holland is going to get wrestle fucked for 5 rounds.
Holland by KO.
Nah it won’t last that long.
The smirks on the scale where enough for me as well
Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point
I don't know, I actually know the Jones brothers and Jon is.... Somewhere on that list
Saw this earlier and was shocked at the level headed, non-shit talking response from him. I actually agree with him.
Conor is generally right, but the part about the more favorable bout arranged for the failed cutter is false. I understand that it makes Conor look good the more Diaz looks good, but Diaz was a dead man walking until yesterday. The perfect situation came up, allowing him to not fight khamzat while claiming some kind of victory. Holland on the other hand is the same size as Khamzat and has dangerous power in his hands.
I see his point though, we've seen Holland absolutely dominated on the ground in multiple fights now and that is obviously his biggest weakness by far, and now he's fighting Khamzat who is an absolute monster on the ground.
I partially agree and disagree. Khamzat is gonna wrestle Holland and dominate him, while Nate has great bjj so he'd probably stand and bang.
It's still favorable in that he's getting a welterweight. Khamzat can't make 170, he struggled last time and this time he completely missed the boat. He's gotta be forced to go up a division.
That's the most coherent thing I've heard from Conor in years.
"Wow, this guy is a real cocky and pompous asshole."
He’s now wrong
No one’s gives a shit
As if Dana didn’t orchestrate this
He ain't wrong
Everybody agreeing with Conor here, but Khamzat didn't get a more favourable matchup. Now he has a short notice fight against a non washed fighter with better striking and something to prove. He probably still wins easily, but he was going to walk through Diaz's journeyman ass who already has one foot out the door and couldn't give two shits what happens.
And someone that can't stop a takedown to save his life with very little bjj off his back
He’s completely right. Now Khamzat gets to beat up an inferior opponent and flex on the crowd after being a complete amateur
Holland is in no way an inferior opponent, he would fuck Diaz up and has a much better chance on the feet
Am I the only one who doesn't think Holland is an inferior opponent?
In what world is an ancient lightweight a superior opponent to Kevin Holland
The fact that Khamzat missed weight by 8 lbs, got an easier matchup, and still kept his full purse is crazy
Easier? Okay.....
BROKEN CLOCK - SPOTTED
Holland is not a more favorable matchup, he’s just sucking off Nate bc he pretends to be respectful every once in awhile, he’ll be back to insulting dead relatives in no time
I don’t really buy the “everyone else is gonna try this”, but he’s right about Khamzat not getting punished is whack af
The only reason we don't have the final form of Dana Red on our hands is because the miss/drama hyped up a sleeper card and the shifts actually made the card better on paper. Khamzat got lucky the stars aligned, that's all. Next fool that does this will probably get crucified.
Why?
The rare Conor McGregor W
Fuck, he's right. I hate it when he's right.
Irish clown tryna stay relevant any way he can. Bitch u old news stfu
Imagine if Conor got in a scuffle backstage, missed weight, and turned one of the worse PPV cards in history in to one of the most hype of the year.
Have you not been in this sub for a few years?
Lads...I never thought I'd agree with McGregor
Lol this dummy. Also Holland's more favorable? Dobut that.
Guy who wrestlefucks everyone vs guy who gets wrestlefucked by everyone
only thing he's ever said didn't sound like his dick was talking for him.
I hate this fucking guy but he always made weight and he is 100% correct.
I think they should fine him 30% and give it to the leech. He's the one that has to now fight a heavier fighter
Hate McGregor, but don't like seeing Khamzat get rewarded for this. Leech and Holland getting the short end of these sticks, being suddenly thrown against opponents that are 10lbs heavier or 10x scarier. Holland been training for a boxer and now has to fight a wrestler.
Holland wanted the smoke tho — now he got it. He’s done for
I wonder how Khamzat will take this given McGregor was one if his ‘idols’. Or at least got him into MMA
You know the situation is fucked when Conor is a voice of reason
I disagree with Holland being more favorable but yeah I would have been happy if they just cut him from the card
Even when Conor is right he can't help but gaslight himself. Holland is a much more difficult fight than Nate.
Khamzat has no subtlety about him at all.
In a just world I 100% agree with him. But I watch to be entertained.
Well then nobody would buy the card
Gonna have to agree with Mac on this one
One day he'll make it through a full tweet without somehow puffing his chest out, he was close on this one
This weight cutting stuff has to lead to a dimished product there’s just no way you can fully recover from putting your body into severe dehydration in 24 hours so why do we keep doing it? If I had to guess your chin takes the biggest hit and there would be less knockout finishes if they took away weight cutting. Shit, maybe that’s why they haven’t taken it away.

Why are we all ignoring Dana saying UFC doctors advised him to stop cutting?
Weird that they advised that, after he was photographed relaxing at a restaurant for hours the night before. It's almost like he stopped cutting, or hadn't been cutting at all really, because he knew something in advance.
Khamzat went from fighting number 2 contender Gilbert burns to fighting a unranked kevin holland who gets raped in wrestling
As Santa Claus would say, "unprofessional bullshit"
They need a fight though
Rare Conor W
Damn he must be sober bc he’s been saying some decent shit lately
The guy who threw a dolly through a bus and injures several fighters in the process causing a card to be re-configured said this. He also got rewarded with the most high profile fight ppv of all time.
Turns out even a coked-up, OAP punching, racist dickhead can be right from time to time.
Are we back to hot sauce Conor again?
I agree 100%
Rare Connor Twitter W
Conor ruined an entire ppv throwing a dolly at a bus, got glass in Ray borgs eye when he was fighting to earn money for his sick kid. 4 fights got cancelled and conor got a title shot with the footage used to sell the fight.
Since when did Connor sober up??
100% right.
I agree, they rewarded him for missing weight.
Ummmm Connor
"The smirks on the scale where enough for me"
Anyone who believes this drama wasn't manufactured needs to be more skeptical of the media
All spoken
