🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

Found that Cowboy will get $2m for this fight and Conor would take $5m (excluding PPV earning and other).
Do thing this amount is enough or not for Conors return ?

Not for Conor maybe but that's probably one of the biggest pay Cowboy is going to get. Whether we admit it or not, Mcgregor lost some of his market value with the defeat against Khabib and the rising of new UFC stars like Adensanya and Masvidal. If he gets a convincing win against Donald, he'll probably get higher compensation regardless of who his next opponent is.

For some odd reason I got nervous the first few minutes watching this.  Lolol.  I like this version of McGregor.  Watch eeet!

If it goes to the judges and you lose, you get half of your stake back.

I was surprised that they even shook their hands. That is something new from Conor

It was a surprise that it was a complete reversal from the way in which Conor McGregor would approach a press conference and it was pleasing to hear those change in attitude after all the drama we saw in the last fight, the PPV earnings will be really huge, in this press conference McGregor said he made $80 million for the Khabib fight  , i wonder how much he will be making in this fight including PPV buys.

It is a surprising change as i never expected this because i thought the UFC was promoting the fight regarding the battle they had in a press conference when he was the interim champion but this was the best version as both respect each other and i am thinking this is another mind games from Conor McGregor as he will be respectful against Cerrone before the fight and once he enters the cage he might start abusing him to disrupt his rhythm and thereby defeat him .

It’s hard for me to say whether the McGregor will win the upcoming battle or lose.
However, I am almost 90% sure that the fight will end by knockout, I think I will put it on that, although there are doubts. His fight with Diaz pops up in his head in which he never got to the knockout.

The uncertainty is the most intriguing aspect of this fight. We know that Conor McGregor is coming after a loss and Donald Cerrone is coming after a couple of losses and this is a perfect situation for both of them to fight as the stakes are really high when there is McGregor involved as a win over him will elevate the stakes on Cerrone and i am sure he will be fully prepared for this fight.

[BChydro]

Looking at the odds i am inclined to place a bet for Donald Cerrone, i am confused why there is a lopsided odds by the match makers but Donald Cerrone is a top fighter for a very long time and it will not be an easy fight for either and hopefully the fans will get what they want, a really good fight and with the change in personality by Conor it is a surprising change and there were not many Irish fans for the press conference and that is what i noticed in this press conference.

When was the last time we see Conor McGregor reached out his hand to his opponent in a promotion. Usually its all hype, you can hear cursing all the time and gloating from the side of Conor, but its the exact opposite what we see in their last promotion.  At first I thought he is just not in the mood but that attitude lasted the whole promotion. I think we are seeing a more focused Conor in the next coming matches after this.

When was the last time we see Conor McGregor reached out his hand to his opponent in a promotion.

I have not seen these kind of scenarios in a Conor fight and hence i am confused whether he is humbled by the last loss and the outside controversies and wanted to show these kind of humble press conferences to the general public to improve his brand, basically a PR stunt which Jon Jones is accustomed to when ever he returns.

I hope Conor can deliver because he called out Cerrone and he fixed the weight division so if Conor looses this match then i think he will retire or rematch against Nate Diaz before retirement.

[bbc.reporter]

@ene1980. He is certainly shamed and humbled by his loss on Khabib. However, there might be a more important matter on why he does not presently want to entertain controversy. Those sexual allegations.

Did you watch the presscon? Dana quickly answered for Conor when it was asked by a reporter.

[notblox1]

I am now watching UFC 246 Pre-fight Press Conference and last embedded vlog episode, and I am not at all confident in Conor wining this fight easy.
Too much forcing things and it all looks fake to me.
He predicts win with KO.

[tokeweed]

^  Yup he kinda looks edgy tbh...  We'll see.  Sometimes that's a good thing.  Like a caged dog that you let go and runs wild.

*Shill Mode*  ...  And some good news.  FJ has started laying lines for some prop bets for the UFC.  Just the main event tho.

Check it out!  'McGregor & 2' looks good at first glance.

This is the same prediction Conor McGregor does in every fight and if you check out the press conference against Nate Diaz in the first fight he too predicted the similar knockout as they are not on his level but when his shots was not having any effect on Nate Diaz he gassed out completely and he wanted to get out of the fight and went for the suicide move to get himself chocked out, we might find a similar situation in this fight if Conor is not able to finish Cerrone in the first two rounds.

That was spot on when the sexual allegation questions came Conor McGregor went completely silent and i was surprised Donald Cerrone chipping in and telling them to ask something else regarding the fight rather than going after personal issues and Dana White too wanted to get rid of that question claiming he gave an comprehensive interview earlier to ESPN. Conor McGregor messed up outside the fight scene and i think he wants to redeem all those and concentrate on fight rather than getting into trouble.

[YuginKadoya]

UFC 246 is getting near and I think this fight is really getting some hype because of how the way McGregor change his body build and I don't want to assume if his cardio has getting a solid upgrade but I wish he does and that this fight wouldn't become another McGregor VS Diaz II fight, I think I will be rooting for Conor McGregor this time I really want to see a rematch against him and Khabib Nurmagomedov, And if that time skip in not getting into the ring of UFC really paid off.

It is a complete turn in his approach and looks like he is really focused to compete again and by his words he will be active this year and it all depends upon how the fight goes and if he wins he have a lot of options to choose rather than picking Khabib Nurmagomedov as i do not see anyone defeating him who is not having an extensive ground game and Tony is the closest to that pedigree because of his high level ground game.

I think we are seeing a more focused Conor in the next coming matches after this.

Focused or afraid to lose/nervous. He havent fought for a long time and last time he won was in November 2016.
3 years gap from his last “success”.

If he starts trashtalk like he used to and loses, that will be such a humiliation
