UFC 196 |McGregor vs. Diaz & Holm vs. Tate| March 5 2016

Delete this then and wait for official announcement...

 

They have to do it just because of how great this fight poster could be

 

It looks like the announcement of this card has been delayed because McGregor is demanding more money.

I'm not saying he isn't doing the right thing, but I have a feeling it's his way of backing out of the fight due to risk/reward. Which makes sense for most people, but it goes against McGregor's over-the-top confidence.

 

no, he's the ANSWER

 

REED Would Rather See McGregor vs. Edgar 1st, but it's NOT like REED's Complaining Either...





REED:mj:

 

A classic poster for sure! :bears:

 

It's impossible not to be a fan of this dude His rhetoric is hands-down, absolutely the best in all of sports

 

:l3:

 

fix the fvcking ttitle, Anthony!

 

Since Muhammad Ali, REED's Hard Pressed to Think of a Fighter As AMBITIOUS, that PROMOTES Himself as Well, TALKS as Much Shit & BACKS It Up, Against ELITE Level Competition, to the Degree Conor McGregor Does...

If McGregor Beats Dos Anjos, it Would Be One of the GREATER Accomplishments in Combative Sports History...




REED:clapagain:

 

great fight, as I said in another topic, I think that McGregor talk is mostly lame (yet sometimes funny), but it's hard not to be a fan of him since he's constantly challenging himself even though, as a draw, he could cherrypick his opponents and still make a lot of $$$$

 

Great point. I think McGregor was also offered Diaz at 155 but chose Dos Anjos. I can't help liking the dude for his willingness to push his limits. Diaz would have been easier and a gold mine but McGregor dove right into the 155 deep end.

 

I'm no Mcgregor fan, but he deserves all the credit in the word for taking this fight. I personnally think it's a mistake, but at least he has the balls to try to prove me (and all the doubters) wrong.

 

I think that the Conor train is going to come tona screeching halt here. RDA Is going to destroy him.

 

nah, Conor by KO.

 

Sig bet?

 

lets do it

 

Ok its a deal.

 

If RDA could smother Pettis so easily, I have to think he could do the same to Conor. I really want Conor to win this, though. This would be the best thing to happen to MMA in a long time. I might cum in my pants if Conor wins by knockout. In a non sexual way.

 

Edgar is a great fighter, but RDA is bigger, stronger, and a lot more dangerous. This fight is about as big as it gets, a champion moving up to fight the champion at a higher weight class.

Edgar should get the next title shot at featherweight no matter what happens at UFC 197.

 

:: McGregor's expression.

 

McGregor isn't looking to be coddled. Taking the Mendes fight on short notice was ballsy, but this is a different level.

I'd sure like to see McGregor vs Pettis if he wants to hang out at lightweight. He seems to be giving up a lot of advantages going to lightweight, though.
