IMO, this is Conor being too cool for school.

He makes that tweet and calls the UFC the next morning or week.

Would be interesting to see UFC fighters form a union and strike.

Bones VS DC 2 at 200.

Really, really looking forward to that.

Thought it was sort of weak how DC kept harping on how rusty Jones was and how his training camp was kicking themselves for not being able to take advantage of him being so vulnerable. Like, this was my big chance to steal one from him but I slanked. I appreciate the honesty though I guess.

I thought DC was fair enough on commentary. Bones was rusty and looked way off the pace at times. Fair enough it was his first fight in over a year. He is not going to be in peak shape or mod, but heh, ignore DC giving Bones credit throughout the fight.

I felt it was an expression of being disappointed that he felt he would have whooped he jones in the ring with OSP, but I do get that the noble thing would be to want to beat the best version of jones. I think he hate is so deep he just wants jones to lose. Rooting for and offering to train OSP falls in that category--he is more emotional about his dislike than he is about wanting to avenge his record or compete.

He was definitely fair and honest to Jones, I just think its a weird mentality for a fighter to have (at least openly).

I'd still really like to see OSP on a full camp tbh

Weird for a fighter to have but very professional from a commentator.

Press conference for 200 underway and McGregor has been mentioned 20+ times already.

Also, it is totally embarrassing for Aldo to be that fixated on McGregor. Looks pathetic.

So glad I tuned into the presser just as Jones told DC he's his bitch and he made him cry lolololol

Found this on my facebook today, the pikeys are from two family's that make youtube videos calling each other out to fight.
Diaz with a pikey accent is so good though.

McGregor fighting Mayweather? I never would have believed it, but articles out there talking like it's basically a done deal and they are just waiting to sign contracts. Is this real life?

Makes sense in a circus/WWE kind of way.

In a sporting sense it would obviously never make sense but before the Diaz fight Conor at least had an aura of invincibility standing(in MMA), now this is just interesting for people that like seeing McGregor get spanked.

Turning himself into a freak show and antics like fighting at 170 just because will lead him down the road to ruin.

Does he even have a manager ffs?

If he had a competent manager he would have shown up for the UFC press tour and commercial shoot.

Exactly and any half decent manager would/should never have thought of allowing him to fight anyone at 170 just because.

He cost me a couple days work and a cross country ride in a chartered plane with Misha Tate and the rest of the card, when they cancelled a stop on the press tour due to him not showing up.

That's not even funny

Maybe try find his address and order 20 tonne of stones to be delivered at his front door around 7.30am.

It seems like a no brainer for McGregor to fight Mayweather if its on the table and UFC lets him do it. Sure he'd likely get embarrassed in the ring but he gets a payday thats prob 10x more than what he gets for his UFC fights and he would still be the #1 contender for the FW belt.

Also he talks about wanting to do movies and a fight with floyd would raise his popularity.
