McGregor skip lightweight belt altogether. Go straight for Welterweight belt UFC 200?

**jordanft19** · 02-24-16, 01:26 AM

But then again he may leave his featherweight belt in jeopardy with all the weight, idk.

**JoshKnows46** · 02-24-16, 06:57 AM

Good possibilty, he already cleaned out the featherweight division, the edgar fight is a no win situation after he takes the 170 and then the 155 pound titles, edgar will have to move up to fight him for the 155 strap if he wants to fight him and Aldo as well if he wants a rematch.

**JoshKnows46** · 02-24-16, 07:32 AM

... McGregor adds one more note: "Make it 170," he says. "Tell him to get comfortable."

"God bless this hard work. I don't care about weight divisions. I'll run through everyone on the roster. #11Days"

Mcgregor setting up the robbie fight at ufc 200, that's where we make our money, I'm praying they make robbie the favorite -150 or better would be nice.

**Unwritten Law** · 02-24-16, 08:08 AM

Let's see how he does vs Nathan first! He's gonna be trolled harder than Rousey.

**brooks85** · 02-24-16, 08:58 AM

lol would love to see this. I honestly thought it was a joke as did anyone using logic when I first heard conor talking about fighting lawler. What a terrible matchup for conor, if his luck continues then he could win. Other than that, absolutely terrible matchup for him when you consider the facts.

Robbie "stuck in the mud" Lawler

He's gonna work robbie over worse then condit did the first 4 rounds of that fight. McGregor by domination..once he starts fighting guys like pig rig, wonderboy, ferguson, and kabib then this run starts to become harder to predict. He has three easy fights lined up for himself in diaz, robbie, rda, and maybe edgar first before he gets to those other guys, enjoy the money train for now.

**TPowell** · 02-24-16, 10:49 AM

Yep, Lawler fight would be hilarious. Lawler is a tough guy but he'd be lost trying to figure out where Conor is coming from striking wise

oh look someone who is bias for conor and someone who is bias against lawler...

as I've said, seen this story too many times.

**Deceptakhan** · 02-24-16, 12:11 PM

What does Robbie have that the others don't, other then a chin.

power and the fact he is probably the best headhunter in the game right now so match him up with someone who doesn't have head-movement. Not hard to deduce what will happen.

Mcgregor is my little Irish atm, so in that sense, yes I'm bias to those that make me money. As far has him as a person, and his views of him being a god or their having multiple gods, I don't agree with, and it wouldnt hurt my feelings if he gets humbled, but that's not happening anytime soon, as far as his fighting, I'm a fan of his striking, it's brilliant. Conor has a chin on him, and his movement will make it near impossible for lawlar to connect cleanly with any consistancy.

Weird angles and a really good powershot. His power can turn things around real quick.

The UFC is excellent at milking their cash cow. They are not gonna pick Cerrone whos fresh and not injured...they are setting up a welterweight championship fight with Robbie Lawler where everyone including Zuffas cleaning personel thinks Conors winning.

So they set poor Nate up for a bigger plan. They found a way to make Macs entry fight at WW a big one with a draw which he is winning. Lorenzo and Dana are having a party at Burger King right now. They cant believe it.

examples?

I've seen him get hit A LOT because he has no head movement and all but he has NEVER taken any kind of shot that would even begin to imply he has a chin to withstand a real power puncher(someone on lawlers level which he has NEVER fought)

and if his movement is so good why do other fighters have no problem hitting him in the head?

Correct, cerrone is a tougher matchup because he atleast has the option to take it down and has 16 sub victorys, it's too risky unless it's for a title match. McGregor would kill his body however.

Watch his fights, he walks through everything he's hit with, he has head movement as well lmao he either has an amazing chin or a really good poker face because nothing has even made him flinch.

**Sato** · 02-24-16, 12:30 PM

Josh, you got a link to that press conference for Nate/MAc as I dont seem to find it.

Fuk man, you're so dumb Brooks. I have never seen you make an intelligent post on this forum ever. Let me break it down for your pants-on-head-type drooling ass.

Mcgregor knows he can eat shots, and his opponents can't eat his. Why would he play around, when he can get in there and exchange and come out on top. If he can do this at +155, is another story.

But If you don't think the shots he ate from Mendes, flush, shows a good chin, I'm not surprised that you're living in a one roomer, eating cat food. Not that I was before, but damn. You dumb *****.

truly some of the dumbest logic ever but it is miri so can't even say it is the dumbest thing he has said... it is up there tho

lol that isn't a skill especially against fighters with no power... and no he doesn't have head movement. You're either biased or haven't watched his fights.

well, there ya go. Now you're actually making sense because when you said conor had head movement I got a hearty chuckle. Hey, at least you're not biased. All you have to do now is watch his fights and see his head get hit repeatedly.

His head gets hit repeatedly, but he doesn't have a great chin, he must suck, i better start watching fights, should I place my bet on diaz now or u think it goes up more?

Mirin isnt sayin that its a smart thing to do or how somebody should fight - he's simply stating that Conor has chosen to do that in previous fights cos he has no concerns about FW's power and that is a fact....Conor has said that himself, and Kavanagh has alluded to it. Would that work against a WW like Robbie who has legit power - probably not, but that doesnt change the fact that that is what he has done so far and it has worked

**bjpenn85** · 02-24-16, 03:47 PM

Brooks has a point though Miri and Josh. Conor gets hit ALL THE TIME, but he doesnt care. He just walk right through it. But, because he walks right through shots, he still got bad head movement. A good chin doesnt give you good head movement, what the hell is this kind of low life logic?

I do think Conor eats lawler for lunch. All day. Lawler is a garbage, he has lost three fight in a row now against better strikers, good luck beating conor. Good f luck.

commendable how you guys have each other's back. It is like you guys have some kind of light to shine in the sky when one of you is in trouble.

If that is what miri meant then I don't see what he thinks he is telling me? I already said the exact same stuff. Conor takes a punch to give a punch and has yet to fight someone with lawler's power. And the point was not that conor can't win, it is that it is not a smart fight for him. Win or loss he is going to get clobbered by a guy who can ruin his career.

not necessarily. FLoyd Mayweather has amazing head movement doesnt he. And if he decided he wanted to throw-down for once and just have a brawl in his next fight that wouldnt mean he suddenly has no head movement. It is all about choice.

Plus its not all about head movement, aside from footwork and angles, judging distance and timing are just as important and there are none better at that than Conor
