The MMA thread

He is but this is too much. Jesus if a footballer breaks his leg its thoughts and prayers and oxygen, fecking Rogan interviews him minutes later when hes in shock in the octagon. Shift over there Conor and let me sit down.
Im not a fan of Conor but that was disgusting from all sides. Leave him to the medics and his own thoughts
Mate let us not pretend that this outburst from Conor is due to circumstances. He's a bloody cnut ffs, always has been, always will be.
 
McGregor is a scumbag. Would have absolutely loved it if the fight went on because he was getting his ass handed out to him. fecker got the easy out with the ankle.
You never wanna see that type of injury happen, but that was prolly the best case scenario for Conor. He would have gotten destroyed if the fight kept going.
 
Conor already saying this isn't over. Too much money to be made for Poirier.

Except Poirier is going to be fighting for the belt next and by then Conor will have moved on to something else.

If it looked like Conor was dominating Dustin only to suffer a freak injury then there might have been an appetite for another fight, but he was losing and would’ve likely been knocked out in round 2 just like in fight 2.
 
The irony of Conor saying all week that Dustin will leave in a stretcher after their match, and then having this happen.
 
Why don't they get the wives to have a fight at the next UFC.

Hea a cnut but he's laying there with a broken leg. feck knows where hes at mentally. He's definetley in shock for one. The last shot before cutting away where he put his hands to his head with his eyes bugging out... feck.
I dont like scumbags, don't get me wrong but if this were a matchday thread there would be bans handed out and the reporter raked over the coals.
I cant get my head around interviewing a man who literally broke his leg minutes prior. Its Shreeves chasing Luke Shaw down the tunnel and im shocked reasonable posters on here cant see how fecked that is. I made a joke post here that Joe would try it.. And he did!
Anyway thats Conor done so hopefully the sport moves on.
 
I doubt they fight again to be honest. Conor should get a rehabilitation fight against Ferguson or Dariush imo.

He will be out for a while following this injury. Which sets up the timelines for them to fight again if Dustin beats Olivera.

UFC match ups never make perfect sense anyway, I'm only going by what Dana White usually does.
 
I see it the same way as Raoul. I think that if Conor were dominating and then had the injury happen, you'd be able to make a claim that he deserves to run it back, but Dustin was ground and pounding him non-stop while Conor was covering up, trying to stay safe until the bell rang. I'm not sure you can sell a rematch. Everyone watching understands that the man dominating the round won.

It's just a shame it had to end this way.

Caption this:

"your legs going to break riiiiiight, here."

Someone needs to photoshop this, it was made for what happened tonight :lol:
 
10-8 in round one



I'd bet that's due to those two judges thinking the punch that missed when he did his leg had floored him. He was getting beat fairly handily, but not sure how else it'd be 10-8 worthy.
 
Don't see Dustin beating Oliveira unfortunately, as tough as he is, Oliveira is on another level for me.

Im not so sure. Oliveira is good, and a very complete fighter, but hes not in the khabib tier. Not invincible at all. I can see the fight going either way because poirier has been tremendous after the khabib defeat. Both fighters at their peaks. I hope we get this fight before the end of the year
 



Title shot for Dustin and then a rematch. Conor couldn't hope for a better scenario the way this fight was going.

Dustin should just feck him off at this point, especially if he gets that title.
 
Just seen the ending.
Connor, you lite up the sport becoming a two division champ, but its time to drop back down to your original weight or just give up. Becoming an embarrassment now.
 
Anyone got a video of the full fight or round should I say.

feck off Conor, you twat. Back to sniffing gear on the counsel estates of Dublin you go.
 
10-8 in round one



There we go. Shades of Carwin Vs Lesnar in that GNP in round 1. Dustin looked great and he's a legitimate champion if he beats Charles. He really should be regarded as a great fighter, and I'm glad he has started to get some respect.
 
Connor McShitbag

He’s done. At least he went out with an excuse though he’ll love that. We’ll probably hear how he would have smashed the division and reclaimed 2 titles if it wasn’t for the injury.
 
Poirier had some digs at Connor but ended the interview saying he wishes McGregor recovers and goes home to his beautiful family.

McGregor ends his interview with "your woife is on me DMs the ho!"

What an immature idiot :lol:
