Faber clowning and explaining the altercation with Connor:



Hopefully, the UFC cakes off tonight. Sucks that their partner is Fox Sports and not Showtime/HBO/ESPN or the hype would be off the rails.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Conor always looking like a skeleton on weigh in day. Dude said he would be champ in 3 divisions 

 I think he'd get destroyed at 155 so he had better find a way to keep his walking weight down if he wants to have a long term career. I just don't think he survives at all if he goes up

 

[DadNboujee]

Not a believer in McGregor, but then again i wasn't a believer in Weidman. So he's just gotta back it up.

 

[carver]

Yeah I still don't believe in him. He will shut me up if he can give Chad that work.

Dana ain't eem gonna be in the ring to put the belt around mendes if Conor loses

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The tears from Dana and the Ferttia brothers will flood MGM

 

[spiderjericho]

Not a believer in McGregor, but then again i wasn't a believer in Weidman. So he's just gotta back it up.

Weidman was a relative unknown when he fought Silva the first time. In some respects, he still is (mainly blame the UFC marketing branch). However, many picked him to win against Silva. He presented a serious matchup issue for Anderson. He could wrestle and had solid striking. Chael Sonnen exposed Anderson's issues against a good/competent wrestler. Weidman was a legit competitor at the time of the matchup and probably the only real matchup the UFC could make at the time.

Siver exposed McGregor takedown defense. He didn't hold him down for long, which is probably a skill issue on Siver's part. Mendes truly presents a huge question mark for Connor. If Connor wins, the hype and money invested in him will grow. If he loses, he'll just become the new Chael Sonnen/Michael Bisping. A solid MMA fighter with great trash talking.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Siver was able to take Conor down a few times but at the same time Conor didn't seem all that interested in getting out of the way. He literally got up right away, in fact Fight Metric didn't credit Siver with a single take down.. which is curious.

Tonight Chad could take him down with ease of course but Conor will be weary for sure

 

[RustyShackleford]

I dislike both fighters, but my hatred for McLame runs deep.

So I got Mendes

Who is on the Conor war wagon doe? Come forth, I need to know who to throw shade at in case he gets KO'ed

*raises hand*

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You already know I been on with the boy from Ireland. That doesn't mean I think he won't lose though 

 I said Chad was a worse matchup than Aldo. Not necessarily a harder fight but Aldo was going to stand with Conor all night, which is what Conor wants obviously

What don't you like about Mendes though Rusty?

 

[RustyShackleford]

Nothing really.

I just dislike Faber and the entire Alpha Manlet Hunger Force. Their Podcast

Mendes is guilty by association I guess. He seems like the least lame one in the entire squad

After the Thursday press conference, I'm rooting for McGregor. Mendes came off like a natural douche. Connor has all of that braggadocio but it's all part of the presentation. He knows what he's doing.

Team Alpha Male, though they're very competent and produce a team of high-level competitors, can sometimes come across as jerks. I also didn't like the Bang Ludwig situation. And if I were T.J., I'd be looking wary of Faber. Eventually, he's going to have to fight Faber.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

TJ knows Faber aint got nothin for him 

I would love to see TJ v Frankie at 135

Or DJ v TJ at 135

Random but yeah

 

[notoriouslar]

War McGregor. That is all.

#Eire.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Conor slowly gaining momentum on NT 

 

[RustyShackleford]

If Conor loses, y'all better block me.

That's all I'm saying

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'm in for the lulz either way because if Conor wins, I want to feel all yall tears through my screen 

Welp, I gave in and put the order in for the PPV. I haven't done this in years. Didn't feel like going to friends or the bar tonight...

 

[retroflashbacks]

Will be on Mcgregor bandwagon. Hated him at first, but really grew to like him in the recent weeks. Not really a big fan of mendes, and his tweet with aldo was cheesy.

I know Aldo has respect for Mendes. But this is Chad's fight not Aldo. If I were Aldo, I'd hope Chad loses so I could have that million dollar pay day.
