Malapropismic Depository Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 MMA was just voted legal in New York. Â Does that mean they're gonna move the Jones/DC fight to MSG in NY now, or is it too late, and they're stuck with Vegas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 That turning of the right shoulder by Bones against Glover was brutal. Dunno if that's even legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â its legal, just an arm crank really. If thats illegal, then they might as well take away all armbars.

Chachie Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Zero logic to this whatsoever. Pretty clear McGregor avoids no one at this stage. He simply wants to avenge the loss of Diaz who he believes he can beat. Nothing else to see here. Â Â Â Zero logic... Pretty clear. I was admittedly speculating but I'm not sure why you claim "zero logic" to my post and then make your own statement with nothing to legitimize it except "pretty clear." Â Â ??? That turning of the right shoulder by Bones against Glover was brutal. Dunno if that's even legal. Â Â Â I remember seeing that happen that night and thinking "Wow, he just totally eliminated Glover's chances with that crank." I don't remember Rogan noticing it in the moment but I knew right away Texeira was hurt for the night. Turned out to be true. Â Honestly, I think Cormier is in big trouble. The only thing that could beat Bones right now is rust. He's amazing even though he's a douchebag. Edited March 23, 2016 by Chachie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So McGregor has no problem fighting Chad Mendes on a few days notice, fighting Jose Aldo and on short notice moving up to 170 to fight Nate Diaz but for some reason he's afraid to fight Frankie Edgar?  Find it difficult to find any logic in that tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Mendez had like 2 weeks to prepare. Conor was in shape and in a much better position than Mendes. The Aldo fight wasn't on short notice. Diaz was literally on a boat taking shots when he got the call. He said he was sick for like 3, while Comor was inshape. The circumstances favored Conor. I don't think he afraid but it doesn't see like the ufc wants him to fight Frankie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he afraid but it doesn't see like the ufc wants him to fight Frankie. I never said the Aldo fight was on short notice!  My point is McGregor could have easily ducked Mendes or Diaz in the past. He had a valid reason given the fact he was training for a different opponent. There are many fighters out there who I expect would not have agreed to those conditions. I don't believe fighting Diaz at 170 favored Conor whatsoever. The fight reflected that.  All I'm saying is that there is zero logic in believing he's scared of Edgar. No valid argument to be made for it. The Diaz fight will make more money and give him the change to avenge his defeat so it makes sense he'd take that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) That's not necessarily an excuse for losing at the 170 weight. Whether he fights Diaz at 155 or 170, obviously Diaz is still going to be the "bigger man" in Conor's alleged words, either way. His height isn't going to change to the smaller man, if they fight at 155 as opposed to 170. I'm pretty sure Diaz' height is what Conor was referring to, not the fact that they fought at 170...at least based on what was written above, since I didn't read the actual quote.

Conor knows he had great first round success vs. Diaz so he is making his decision to rematch Diaz on that. There is also logic in assuming his camp has a lot of say in who he should line up as his next opponent. Edgar is a pitbull who easily beat Mendes when Chad had a full camp. Edgar is as complete a fighter as Conor would ever face.  So AFTER losing to Diaz, Conor is having 2nd thoughts (or his camp is having 2nd thoughts) about taking on Edgar right now. If Conor had beaten Nate, he might have been under the impression he can beat Frankie Edgar but his confidence is low right now and he won't want to risk losing his belt.  Hey, great idea! let's get Nate Diaz again (we almost had him in round one) so we wont have to lose our title to Edgar! That way even if we lose to Nate a second time we can AGAIN blame 170! Win-win!  Dana sees the dollar signs and agrees, all is well for Camp McGregor!
