I would love to see a face off between Cowboy and Conner.


If he moves up to 155 I think we will see Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. If anyone can out shite talk McGregor it's one of the Lodi jiu jitsu boys.

Did you see what Nate Diaz did to RDA? He was getting his arse kicked for the whole fight and he was still open hand slapping RDA and calling him a bitch

I don't mind shite talking your opponent. That comes with the territory in any fighting sport. It's the shite that McGregor spews about how fighting him is the highlight of all other fighter's careers and I make all this money blah blah blah. It's very WWE like.

It's funny though because of how much Dana White says they are not like the WWE. The only difference in UFC and WWE is that the fighting is actually real. The side show bullshite is all the same.

I agree with this. I used to be a UFC fan, but now it's too much like WWE with the clown shows that guys like McGregor puts on. He is what makes UFC douchey to me with his acts he puts on about money.


WWE is fake, so not sure how you are drawing a comparison. Floyd Mayweather made $300 million and everything he says is "about money."

You're labeling an entire organization douchy because one dude from some shite hole in Dublin likes to wear sunglasses indoors and talk about getting paid.

The UFC is douchy because Conor McGregor... Yeah. Ok.

Floyd Mayweather is a boring boxer

Lebron James isn't as good as Michael Jordan

And the LSU vs Ole Miss would be more fun if the players and fans were respectful of each other.

WWE being fake is the only difference in the two.

He's not the only douche. McGregor just epitomizes everything that is douchy about it in one guy.

I'm not up to date on everyone's names anymore, but I catch highlights and I've seen similar things from other guys. I also believe McGregor is just the tipping point in the antics. UFC and Dana are going to see how much viewership they get because of him and there will be a whole lot more copycats in the future, making it even more WWE like and even more unbearable.

Sure it hypes him up, but I have more respect for the guys who respect the sport and each other.


This is possibly the most violent main stream sport out there and you think these people are the type to pat each other on the backs and drink caprisun together?

Then why are you even entertaining this conversation if you are above it all? IF it's truly unbearable then why are you here?

Well I did used to be a pretty big fan of it and now I'm just a casual observer...so when there is a thread about the current most popular UFC fighter doing exactly what started making me not be as big a fan as I once was, then I think this is a pretty good thread for me.

ETA: By unbearable I meant the side show bullshite. I still like the fighting itself, it's just the antics of the side show that make me roll my eyes.

yeah UFC sucks. Clowns like McGregor ruin it for me



Lighten up. It's entertainment. As long as the actual fights are real and the fighters are good, why must they all be meek humble choir boys? Why do fans insist their athletes exhibit no personality?

Sadly, this is why UFC is becoming more and more like WWE. It's lost most of it's fanbase, and it's losing me.


UFC just had it's biggest gate ever 2 months ago and are running a sold out 70,000 seat stadium in November. Sold out Dublin for October in 5 minutes. Is having one of it's most profitable years ever. Next July will be the biggest card ever that will probably do north of 2 million buys. UFC's biggest draw ever was Brock Lesnar. Dan Severn, Ken Shamrock, Sakuraba.. all did pro wrestling before MMA and I can name about 30 more off the top of my head if you'd like. You losing me on that statement chief. Watch amateur college wrestling if it's too entertainment for you

dude, it's just my opinion. I'm a pretty humble dude and I don't like loud mouth trash talking athletes in any sport.

I don't see what mcgregor is doing is any different than Tyson saying he was going to eat people's children, or whatever he said.

shite is supposed to be entertainment. I laughed at the press conference.

People need to lighten the frick up.

Goddmanit. I can get behind that answer.

Let me ask you this; Do you think McGregors first loss in the UFC will be as big, if not bigger, than his biggest win?
