Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone [JAN 2020] Discussion

[Mahanton]

If Khabib loses to Ferguson and he will be the next title holder, will Conor still be interested to fight Khabib?
Or he will be more interested to get his belt back?

He should remember the defeat is very decisive it was one of Connor's fight that he was defeated decisively, he has something to get back into and that is to redeem himself, although I don't believe Ferguson can beat Ferguson, but I really love to see Mcgregor - Khabib to push through it is a fight that will generate greater interest.

Maybe Conor would prioritize first to fight Khabib and then later on to recognize on getting his belt back but as said where i dont believe that Ferguson would deafeat Khabib.

I would probably go with Jorge Masvidal. He seems really strong and competitive to Conor. Their fight would have been something out of this world. What's more is that they both have fiery style of fighting. Please guys, entertain us.

I would go with either Masvidal or Khabib. Ferguson looks like an easy opponent for Conor. If Ferguson will defeat Khabib, which is highly unlikely, I think Conor is still better off fighting Khabib first. He has yet to prove something to him. If he thinks everything is already settled between the two of them, then that would be tantamount to an admission that he is not the best.

Somehow my instagram is filled with posts that Cerrone lost this fight on purpose...
Saying that he didnt even wanted to fight that night and never act so passive in the fights.

There is a lot of rumors surround the fight because there was no offensive move from Donald Cerrone and everyone is calling for a fix but i highly doubt that you can get off fixing fights right now because the consequences are really high and the UFC will be prosecuted if they ever did that, so these rumors are social media created and nothing else.

That would piss Dana off if he just knew he just want the millions of USD without a fight.  That's not how it works. Cerrone can fight bigger fighter than Mcgregor but he was just bombard with punches and not giving him the chance to get back up. It happens so fast the attack is rapid and the referee stop it. No controversies there. He lost the fight that's it.

Whatever happened inside the ring there's always additional opinions outside. There are people who will see different sides of the outcome they will bring their own opinions, thinking that what they've noticed have basis. This social media venue don't have anything to do with how the fight ends up. The fight was ended Connor win that's it.

[Yatsan]

This will be the rise of Connor after the downfall, Sure it's a mismatch, but it's a stepping stone to fight someone bigger. This would be an easy win to Connor. I hope he can go back after the sideways win and lose in the previous year. 

Conor helped build to where the UFC is today because he helped take it to the next level with his talent as showman and a troll. There was no one else before him in this level. He is the cause of why this sport has many casual fans hehehehehe.

Conor McGregor put more eyes into the sport because of his trash talking skills and his cross over to boxing brought yet another fan base and he is a showman but after that his graph went down because of his troubles outside the fight arena and Donald Cerrone is the perfect return fight and i hope he will not take on Khabib once again as he has other great fights for the fans to see and with a new champion in 145 pound division i hope he will once again challenge the champion in that division rather than challenging anyone in higher weight divisions.

On his days when he was training diligently he was also one of MMA's best fighters. Remember the unbeatable Jose Aldo during his time? Conor knocked him out in a few seconds.

I watch this fight, and surely this is one of the best highlights of his career, I'm Connor fan, so I hope he can come back to this fight. I am hoping for Khabib and Connor rematch, and I hope he can win it, every Connor lose is mostly on the grounds hope he can manage it now.

Just quoting my reply LOL, easy win! 40 seconds and it's done. I knew this is will be Connor year! haha. The fight showcase how Connor recover from his lossess and those shoulders are deadly!

BTW, with regards to Khabib and Connor rematch it's happening! I hope this is going to be a great fight, their last fight is easy win for Khabib, I am hoping for Connor to win this!

Win is win LOL, Those brats that are talking that Connor just win because it's scripted shouldn't watch UFC. Those are just nonsense rumor what you see is what you get in UFC, Connor win no script, no fixing of fight or anything.

Conor is a sniper with his precision counter punching and he can defeat anyone who prefers the stand up game in the UFC but taking on Khabib Nurmagomedov is a different story, Dana White wanted that fight because he really thinks that it will be the biggest PPV in sports history because of the drawing power of Khabib and Conor and a rematch could make half a billion business, who knows and that is the only reason Dana White wants to push Conor to fight Khabib yet again.

[TheGreatPython]

I hate conor as much as the next guy and think that he is a good fighter but a bad human (yet his character sells a lot of tickets I can understand that), but to tell that this match was fixed would be very disingenuous towards Cerrone. Dudes first fight was in 2011, he is one of the veterans of the ring and has a record of 36-14, I mean that is 36 wins in UFC which is a lot of fights and a lot of wins, maybe he is getting a little bit older at 36 but dude is still a great fighter, nobody can say it will be an easy fight to go against him, Conor just lucked out early, give them 5 more matches and none of them will end this quickly.

Conor should focus on the title and not khabib, if khabib loses which I doubt he will, conor should get the title and defend it against khabib which would be a better fight honestly, yet if khabib wins which I am sure he will, the rematch would be very fun to watch.

It doesn't make any sense though, if Cerrone has deliberately took a dive on this fight. I mean what is he trying to achieved career wise.

If this is true, they maybe that's why we are seeing lot of respect coming from Conor?

Prior to the fight we've seen Conor like we haven't seen him promoting a fight, no trash talking, very respectful and cordial with his opponent, even a handshake.

@Jating this match wasn’t fixed it was simply a case of bad luck and misfortune for Cerrone, who never expected McGregor to attack him so swiftly. @TopTort777 those people may have placed a bet on Cerrone to win and since he the lost the match they may be pissed at him, and now are spreading fud that he fixed the match. Furthermore if anyone saw the match they’ll realise that Cerrone nose was bleeding, and McGregor was attacking way too quickly then he had prepared for hence I don’t feel this was a fixed match.

This is what I've been trying to say, hehehe, did Cerrone took a dive so that Conor could win and make him good at his comeback? Lol, all speculation. Did that shoulder really broke his nose or somewhat make his confused that's why he didn't offer any resistance at all?

Conor vs Khabib is next, definitely huge, I reckon before the end of the year (Dec 2020).

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?

Correct me if im wrong but the fight never lasted a minute, i think cerrone made a huge mistake of taking connor lightly in the fight he's guard not totally up, thats why conor took advantage of the situation at the same time he looks in shape but he's not prepare more like conor , because that shoulder of conor fave the way for the knock out , but still as we expect conor finish the deal in a matter of seconds

This is gonna be huge as Conor can sell any fight, even in boxing he can sell a fight. Even with his win now, I still think that he will be an underdog when rematch will happen, and I would not go with his hype, I'll bet on the better fighter which is Khabib.

[DeathAngel]

I’m interested to see who will be Conor’s next opponent. The Cowboy fight he didn’t break a sweat. I really want Conor to get the Khabib rematch but he probably needs to win another fight or two first.

Here are the possible opponents
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/20/sport/conor-mcgregor-ufc-next-opponent-mayweather-khabib-spt-intl/index.html

Which one would you bet? Khabib will be more interesting among the 3.

Like you, I wanted to see a rematch between McGregor and Khabib. The first fight is so intense with a back and forth advantage against each other. These two fighters really are gonna make some more money if they progress with their rematch.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is clearly not interested for the rematch and if Conor McGregor could win a fight in the Lightweight division then he can claim for a rematch, he won against Donald Cerrone in the Welterweight division and for him to claim for a rematch he needs to fight in the lightweight division and there are many opponents waiting to face Conor but my guess is that he will be looking for the Nate Diaz trilogy which will be another big fight.

I sure also want to see a rematch between McGregor and Khabib as well and after that devastating fight against Cowboy I surely think that Conor McGregor had an upgrade and has a chance against Khabib Nurmagomedov but there are 3 candidates that McGregor can choose for his next fight and that will be

1. Nate Diaz - because they both scored 1-1 on each other and settling the score once and for all and Diaz had twitted a taunt referring to the UFC 246 after dismantling Cowboy.


2. Justin Gaethje - a next in line for McGregor but both parties had been saying that each fighter was ducking the offer for a fight I don't know if who's really evading a match but I really think a Gaethje maybe a good conditioning fight for McGregor.

3. Jorge Masvidal - This is what Conor McGregor wants and the belt that Masvidal is holding surely Jorge Masvidal is now the Baddest Motherf**ker in UFC after that vicious flying kick from hell on Ben Asken, this could surely lead to a great deal of interrogation for Conor to have this fight but fans really want it to happen.
