I suppose you kind of have to one when you talk the talk like him but it was refreshing to see any how.


Wouldnt have lost many admirers, and in fact might have gained a few


Didn't really have any option, but agreed, he's been classy and humble in defeat. Not something I think any of us saw coming.

His comments about Diaz taking his shots, how guys in his weight division would crumble under them, about as spot on as his over hand left is. Diaz took two big shots and didn't get rattled, then when Diaz got some contact on McGregor it was wobble wobble and look out.

I'm a big McGregor fan, I love his attitude, I love his ability as a showman and none of his quips are scripted, he's out and out one of the best self promoters in the world and one of the best sledgers going around. His crack at Diaz on the live interview where the reporter says "The producer has asked that you both just count to ten for the sound check"

"Dat's no good, Nate can only count to 5!" Gold. :lol:

Some interesting results since I last posted. Anyone still watching?

I've been watching Bellator and UFC Fight Night, UFC on Fox and UFC up to 201.

Can't see Connor beating Diaz at 170 pounds, but very much looking forward to seeing him try.

One of my favourite fighters retires... Dan Hendo Henderson, what a legend! 46 (same age as I am), what a legend of the sport.

mcgregor is a friggin freak he doesn't even seem to punch with much power but when he hits u with that left u r truly f@cked. In His presser after he was saying his partner is expecting there first child and said he was still getting his head around it as he doesn't want the child to basically be bullied because of whom he is. What he has achieved in his short time is a fair effort and he has only just turned 28 the bloke probably hasn't hit his prime in this sport.

Thought Thompson was a bit stiff in his bout too, and poor weidman his face is totally f@cked hope he can come back from it.

Will admit I'm a casual fan and not a die hard who's seen every fight or anything, but he'd certainly have to be in the conversation.

Anderson Silva and Mighty Mouse have strong claims to the GOAT title too I would have thought.

I think Mighty Mouse or Cormier would be in the conversation. Jones, no. Big fan of is but it's a tarnished one. He can't be held in the same conversation as anyone else.
