I wish they take up HHH's offer and take this feud to the WWE ring. Just go full on with it. Only bad thing is they'd need to self censor their selves since WWE is PG these days

 

[Levito]

No one's going to be as sharp as Conor, but it's pretty clear Floyd ran out of ammo after the first tour stop. Repeating the same corn again and again.

Spoiler

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He did that "You and me got money Dana" bit 3 days in a row, nearly verbatim. So bad. lol

 

[Chumley]

this was the worst one

No way. Yesterday was by far the worst.

 

[RK9039]

Oh shit! Khabib time.

The Eagle is hungry.

 

[Fried Food]

People who think there is even a shred of real beef lol

 

[Chumley]

Now we can focus on the fact that we're only 2 weeks away from DC v Bones 2

 

[Levito]

Calling it now: Conor will fight Nate again before Khabib.

I can't freaking wait for this! McGregor is toast though...

I know, hand someone 80 million who has never boxed before, and you've got to be pretty much best mates.

 

[Dazzler]

I can't believe Floyd dropped a hard F, in 2017

 

[jett]

They clearly ran out of gas. Toronto was the high point of this circus.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

He'd be stupid not to fight Nate again before Khabib. Actually, he'd just be stupid to fight Khabib ever.

Khabib is:

- not a draw, like, at all
- a high risk to pull out due to his 759th injury in the last 5 years
- likely to sit on Conor for 5 rounds and decision him

He is fighting later this year right?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

So it's safe to say that Canadians know how to party.

 

[joshcryer]

It just hit him that when Mayweather said "defeat" he could've come back with "In the octogon I'd show you the feet in your face."

 

[RK9039]

Ufc Russia.

The casual use of racism, sexism and homophobia as a promotional prop is a deeply-ingrained aspect of combat sports.

It just feels so grade school level. I havent seen people going around like that, saying it constantly, in 15 years. I love CM, but damn, don't call Mayweather a kid and then proceed to have softball stuff like that.

They both sound like broken records, it's funny though that people think McGregor doesn't sound like a broken record or that most of his jokes are corny as fuck too.

Did he bring out the backpack again?

 

[RivalCore]

Weak ending. Toronto was the highlight, but they really should've paced out the conferences. Too much repetition, too many "BITCH!" air fillers, too many scripted moments.

I did laugh at them bringing in chairs at the last moment into the ring. The conferences were so badly organised.

As a fight fan I prefer classy fighters in boxing and mma that don't have to stoop to those levels to sell a fight. Those are the ones I give support. Urijah Faber, Timothy Bradly, Terence Crawford, Keith Thurman, George St Pierre, Vasyl Lomenchenko, Mikey Garcia, etc

 

[mugoldeneagle03]

Wanting to see this fight so fucking bad vs not wanting to root for either guy is a really weird feeling I can't shake

DC is one of the classiest dudes in UFC history yet he gets tons of hate even here.

Yeah, it's sad. Anyone who watches boxing and/or MMA regularly will tell you this far from a unique scenario.

There's just an incredible lack of accountability for any of this behavior that you'll see in other sports. Machismo and ignorance run amok, solely in the name of promotion.

That's probably a part of the disconnect you're seeing in this "Conor is racist" debate. I think a lot of fight fans become completely numb to this behavior and stop taking it at face value. It shouldn't even matter if they're "being serious" or not.

 

[cordy]

Shit's really getting to him.

Also I'm saving this gif lol.

 

[velociraptor]

Mayweather is so fucking boring.

At least Conor is entertaining with his trash talk.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAH! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

BITCH!

Just remember when the fight is boring you got your 4 days of entertainment

[Obliterator]

Jesus I know I'm late but Floyd really drop the F Nuke. I'm surprised there isn't a thread on it considering the one that was made on Conor.

I'm just glad this is over now, Conor and Floyd both showed their ass on those last 2 stops

 

[dream]

But at the same time, the aim of any combat sport is to establish dominance by incapacitating your opponent, forcing him or her to quit, or beating him or her so badly that a third party has to halt the action. It's the ultimate expression of hypermasculinity, even when it's a contest between women.

 

[WiseguyMVP]

Maybe we'll get lucky and see a double knockout so both of these assholes can STFU. Lol

 

[ipukespiders]

I can't believe Floyd dropped a hard F, in 2017

The way he said it... that's a practiced n-word f-word right there. Rolled right of the tongue like a well aimed loogie.

Fuck you, Bill Floyd.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

Conference sucked. 4 days across time zones. These guys ran out of content and energy. But Floyd took the automatic L with the "faggot" drop. I'm sure he knew he fucked up immediately after. Dudes getting sloppy. Probably jet lagged af. If it wasn't for that, I would've said Conor took the L, resorting to putting his hands on Floyd. Right away, Dana was like, "Yo. Don't be doing that, Conor." I wonder if that'll cost Conor any contract money. Floyd was telling Conor, "Don't worry, I ain't gonna touch you until August 26."

He did that "You and me got money Dana" bit 3 days in a row, nearly verbatim. So bad. lol

You forgot to add that it's always in combination with Floyd calling Dana Conor's pimp. It's the only jab that seems to always get to Conor, so I can see why Floyd would keep going back to it. It clearly bothers Conor every time Floyd says it, and Conor never has a response for it. It's a jab that none of Conor's other opponents could use since they all fight for Dana.

Looks like Conor is having a sudden onset of diarrhea. I wonder how many people from each camp are getting physically sick from all the travel and fatigue.

 

[Obliterator]

You could tell during all the interviews over the past 2 days everyone involved is exhausted. Doing 4 days in a row in 4 different locations was a really shit idea. Everyone was just tired and sloppy for the last 2 stops
