Official TFK UFC Thread

funny to see how the gahliban here go nuts over some guy that stars in the munster hurling championship yet this guy takes on all comers throughout the world in a tough tough sport yet they give him no credit at all because he has high self esteem and is a dapper dresser

Most of these lads are threatened by a scarf, mate. I can only imagine the bruises they inflicted on their wives and kids after finding out Conor won.

Eh, of course he “won”. Oh yes he did. That’s the storyline. It’s a pantomime.

:rolleyes:

Wrestling has as much credibility as this shit. Failed boxers turning their hands at acting.

Wrestling is far more credible.

Sheamus. Now there was an Irish world champion we could be proud of.

Whereas McGregor seems content to merely shame us.

nonsense…Micheal Bisping has never even fought for a title, has got sparked out as few times , is ranked no. 4 and is still one of the highest paid…he got €400k in total for winning last fight…

Did Sheamus win a world championship? Where/how can I sign up for this bandwagon?

I seem to remember he won it circa 2009/10. I have no idea how long he held it for.

fasten your seat belts folks

How long before there’s a UFC break away group similar to the PDC / BDO based on this low pay?

This will split the forum, @TreatyStones[/USER] and [USER=2533]@Il Bomber Destro[/USER] have already aligned themselves to the Dubliner, while [USER=189]@massey ferguson has rowed in behind the Corkman. Thank God a few of us will be in a position to remain neutral on this one as we find both of them equally dreadful bores.

It’s a fairly brutal sport, but I can’t see them introducing darts into it any time soon.

[QUOTE=“myboyblue, post: 1076624, member: 180”]Anyone who knows this shit, @Turenne[/USER], [USER=41]@Captainshan, is it true to say McGregor has gotten a title fight without fighting ANYONE of note?

If so, its fair going/a pisstake.[/QUOTE]

He hasn’t fought anyone good. Aldo will destroy him.

Has McGregor even fought any of the lads aldo has beaten?

Safe to say he’s doing exceptionally well to have gotten himself to this stage based on “personality” alone then? Given his abilities (of which I have little clue in all honesty) is this the best he could have done even had he gone about “earning” his shot in the normal manner?

Like I said earlier, my bro and his mates (UFC nerds) reckon he is the real deal- No doubt he is being fast tracked because management want to cash in on the hype but every time he comes up a levelhe wins and people say he hasn’t fought anyone yet, wait till he… He has looked comfortable to date- I still don’t think he is up there with Aldo or even Edgar but he keeps rising to it- He’s still relatively fresh to the sport, the high end of it anyway, so there’s more to come from him.
