Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone [JAN 2020] Discussion

[Assface16678]

I'm really not interested in McGregor anymore. He talks big game and then gets stomped at every major fight.

He got whooped by Diaz, absolutely mauled by Khabib and Mayweather gave him a schooling.

People should stop paying attention to this loudmouth.

That's pure marketing. Kind of overdone and messy, though. And it is one thing to market something that has a hundred percent guarantee and quite another to just market it, create too much hype around it, but end up a total dud. Connor has consistently been the latter in his recent fights. His mouth is doing all the perfect talking, but his performance falls short of the walking. But at least the tickets are selling like hot cakes, or are they?

In mixed martial arts, you must have a powerful mind and body because this sport is all about the techniques and skills how do you survive the whole game. McGregor is getting back on its ring. He dominates this pentagon ring for a year and this future event there's a challenger wants to steal and wants to be outstanding in the mix martial arts. Base on the data and statistics, I think McGregor is the one who is still the king of the ring.

Which statistics are you talking about  . Conor McGregor has not won a fight since 2016 and in the past three years there were many great fighters that emerged in the scene and captured gold and he diverted his direction from the real deal and went to the boxing ring to make money and got defeated easily which was expected and then the come back fight to the UFC was against an impossible opponent and we know the results and what stat are you talking about, he might be a king outside the ring for his brawls in the bar and not in the ring  .

maybe "Media" statistics is what he meant lol ,because McGregor is still popular until now because of most media coverage and promotions he is doing this past year.from a PAID fighter to a total LOSER.

McGregor's career is just a pure advertisement and he has nothing in terms of real fight so following him is like a piece of crap.sorry for the Fans lol

This statement is somewhat true as he might be returning to have some easy fights and to promote his whiskey and make money showing up and he is certain he can make a few millions every fight and it will help with the advertisement of his products too, he has a media company and invested in other things and he needs to advertise all these and fighting once in a while will help those business endeavors too.

Kinda like Floyd. When fame gets inside the head of a person he will start to act like he is above all that he'd think people will like him no matter what he'd do. Does companies still advertise with him since he already lost twice?
We've seen him beaten already by Kabib and Diaz but I really wanted to see him knocked unconscious and then wake up asking what happen.

For that to happen he needs to have his confidence to fight Jorge Masvidal thinking he can face him for the BMF belt and if that happens then we can see him sleeping in the octagon and i really hope that fight happens, Donald Cerrone might be an easy fight for Conor because he is forcing him to move up the division to face him and i am interested to know what Conor does after this fight.

yes I agree and it will only change if there is a rematch against Nurmagomedov and he beat him the way Nurmagomedov beat him, he has two successive loses and he needs an easy fight to get into winning again, people always judge you on your last fight, after this, he should take up Nurmagomedov and he should permanently retire if he is beaten.

Personally I do not like the Notorious "Conor McGregor" because of how aggressive he is outside the ring as well. But, liking someone is one thing and comparing facts is something else, I personally feel like it will be a closely fought match with Conor coming on top because of the Cardio and the aggression he possesses in the ring.

I will be happy if Conor is taken to the cleaners and given a good fight for his money but if I was to make a bet, I would have to bet on Conor despite not being his fan.

[fortunecrypto]

The giant is back in the ring and just like every time, this is going to be a very hyped match when it comes to bets and gambling. The match is taking place in Las Vegas on January 18 next year. My favorite obviously is the Irishman Conor. Who do you think you'd be placing your bets on?

Donald Cerrone was beaten by Gaetje via knockout, and now he will be fighting McGregor, this is not a good fight for Connor he is fighting a guy coming from a lost, although Connor also suffer from two losses, he should be fighting a guy who comes from a win and not on a losing bracket, this is to establish himself, I don't think this will generate much interest.

[Ranly123]

McGregor of course would win this match that is if he will stop acting as a clown inside the octagon. Cerrone on the other hand hasn't proved himself worthy of winning a big match.

You just criticized him because of his losses, think about the good thing that he performed in the octagon. He defeated Jose Aldo who is a champion for more that six years in just 13 seconds. Imagine that.

Although he talk trash, he still make more money than any other no matter either win or loss. He is still a great fighter, all of us has ups and downs.

Khabib is really a great fighter because of his grappling skills. Between Mayweather and Mcgregor, there's a big difference between their sports.

Don't criticize his performance this year, maybe sooner or later he regain from losses and dominate all fighters.

Never seen him act as a clown inside the octagon, maybe outside he does some silly stuff, but this is all is done for promotion.

Cerrone has 2 losses in last 2 fights, he will be uber motivates for that fight

[Theb]

At this point Connor McGregor isn't choosing who his fighting anymore he just wants to face someone in yhe ring just to earn that UFC money. I'm seeing a routine here that he only comes out of retirement and use his “fame” to still earn that big money he will get. Donald Cerrone isn't even on par with the MMA fighters McGregor has previously fought so I think it is safe to say McGregor here will tale the W back home, Cerrone also had loss two matches straight both of which are TKOs

Are you seriously comparing his cardio, the one thing that he lacks inside the cage, if he was having good stamina then he would be a tough tight for many but if you look at this past fights, his knockout power reduces considerably after the second round and that is because of his stamina issues, his fight style is not aggression, he is a counter puncher and he is really good at that and so is the reason he was winning all his fights.

If you are talking a lot of shit then you are bound to listen to these critics too and that is the case with Conor McGregor he talked a lot of trash and yet he got defeated in his fight against Mayweather and then against Khabib and the level of trash talking in both these fights were personal because Conor knew it was the toughest opponents in his career and when you get smashed single handily then expect the trolls having a life on its own .
 

Don't criticize his performance this year, maybe sooner or later he regain from losses and dominate all fighters.

If he is able to do that it is great for his career and the fight fans as we will see more fights from him and there is no doubt he changed the fight game.

He just want to get into the win again, because two of his biggest fight ended in stoppage, and were all bad losses, with Cerrone, he can make a big comeback by knocking him out, but what if Cerrone knocks him out and we have an upset, that will the end for Connor, so this is a must win for him the pressure is on Connor.

[DarkDays]

Conor has been out of the ring for quite a while now, just over a year if memory serves. However, no doubt he will be back talking mad smack once again, threatening to wreck Cerrone.

I really don't get why people pay him so much attention. Sure he smashed Jose Aldo with one punch, but it wasn't like he was absolutely mauling everyone like Khabib.

Pretty sure if he fought Khabib 100 times he would lose 99 times. He's not as good as he thinks, and could even lose against Cerrone.

Nonetheless I won't be watching this fight, people need to stop listing to people with a big ass mouth and nothing interesting to say, like Conor.

If Conor McGregor is not talking smack then it wont be a fight we are looking for as trash talking is a fight strategy that Conor employs throughout his career.

Pretty sure if he fought Khabib 100 times he would lose 99 times. He's not as good as he thinks, and could even lose against Cerrone.

If you consider the fact that Conor is a pure striker who does not have a great ground fighting skills as most of his prior defeats were on the ground and Khabib was a ground specialist and if anyone say that they were surprised that Khabib defeated him, i would say please watch fights before commenting as everyone knew what would happen in a fight between them.

Nonetheless I won't be watching this fight, people need to stop listing to people with a big ass mouth and nothing interesting to say, like Conor.

I will watch this match as it will be a great fight between strikers.

Its not easy to knock Cerrone, the cowboy can take a beating while can also box hard. He just isn't in the prime anymore but the promotion wouldn't match them if he doesn't have a chance to stand. This is actually a good match because like they said the two doesn't like the ground fight, they both prefer to throw fist while standing so its going to be pure bare knuckle fight.

Dana White made a statement that if Conor McGregor can beat Donald Cerrone, Conor McGregor will have a crack again to the title held by Khabib Nurmagomedov which I think is unfair to Justin Gaethje. Justin Gaethje has been active inside the octagon but according to Dana White, UFC offered him a lot of matches already but Justin declined, unlike Conor McGregor who has done a lot for UFC. Conor was out of MMA for more than a year. He last appeared inside the octagon last UFC 229 October 2018 and tapped out to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
