Robbie has already accepted fight w/ Conor at 200

[Jehannum]

Like $150 I think. The moneys not the issue its just that the idea of him beating RDA and doing the River Dance out of the octagon with 2 belts makes my stomach churn.

If he beats RDA I'm putting myself on a self imposed 48 hour cooling off period and re evaluating if I can be an MMA fan anymore.

imagine if it's in 13 seconds or under

Alright this is just getting ridiculous. Idk who this Jeremy Botter guy is but he must be a troll.

Mcmuffin isn't dumb enough to step to Lawler.

Its all a moot point anyway because no way in hell will he get past RDA. There's just no way.

I assume you know that Jeremy Botter works for CNN and Bleacher Report, and is currently one of the best MMA sources in the world... But if you didn't know that or accept that, Dave Meltzer is also reporting the same thing.

Who's Meltzer? He's not the pro wrestling guy is he?

If I hear it from someone credible like FRB I'll believe it.

Haha, I should have just allowed your original troll to happen. Now I feel duped.

of course robbie accepts. huge payday and a big chance to put the mcgregor train to bed for him. if he loses he can still sleep on a pile of cash

Shit like this is why we watch mma my friend. To see the incredible. It's why bj is so loved

Im interested in how the build up to the fight would be, Lawler has never had anyone really talk shit to him. But for some reason i dont think Conor would talk shit to him i remember after ufc 189 he was saying what a warrior Robbie was so it would be interesting to see how Conor plays it.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

I think a 180 lb Conor will have enough power to KO Robbie, but I could be wrong. His left hand just seems to kill guys. I do, however, think Robbie is the best matchup for him at 170. Not very tall, no reach advantage, almost never fights on the ground... I think if Rory, Condit or Wonderboy were champ I would be more inclined to pick against Conor.

This is a good point, and something not being widely discussed. I don't think Conor has much for the WW division as a whole but Lawler is one of the more winnable fights for him. Even his RDA fight, until a month or so ago everyone (Conor's camp included) said "he's really more of a lw, and really shouldn't cut to fw" Now he's moving up, but you'll notice it's to fight a guy who isn't all that different from Aldo, who he had like a year to train for.

If I'm him and I beat RDA, I want out too. I don't want to stick around and fight Khabib or Alvarez. At the same time, if he's ever going to make a run up to ww, he doesn't want to wait until someone who is stylistically a bad matchup for him has the chance to take the title.

Just alot of hot air... nothing to see here just another hype helper

Yeah, I don't see much longevity at WW for him. I think if someone else was champ they would have already called Frankie for 200.

When has something like this leaked regarding Conor and it ended up just being a hype helper?

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

I also to be honest don't think it's a coincidence he's taking what realistically is a smaller money fight in RDA that could have been available at LW.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

For what it's worth he can win whatever titles he wants. Everyone knows you're nothing until you fight the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

Homie i have no idea about anything with shooping, but if i ever have an idea you mind if i toss 'em your way? You're pretty good at it, and if i help in some meager ass way i'd love to.

downloaded the film and extracted that whole section as a gif then saved all the individual frames.

it is a mammoth project but if I can get it done in time for MCG vs RDA it will be epic (provided he wins)

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

I think Conor would have a better shot at beating Robbie. Seems crazy because of the weight difference, but there is no surprise what Robbie will do. He's not shooting for any takedowns. He's gonna allow himself to get hit so he can hit you back. Who the hell knows when these wars will catch up to Robbie and his chin is gone. Perhaps Conor is fast enough to catch him clean and shut the lights out. RDA is potentially a worse matchup because he isn't as predictable. He may decide to throw Conor on his head then pound him out.

I agree no disrespect to Robbie either but his style matches up well for Conor.

Sorry homie if I had any idea it would be that difficult I would not have suggested it.

well need so many angles for conors head, then you gotta make them match the image AND each other, and of course if you need to change the angle slightly, it blurs which means more work tidying it up. It's complex but ive started now

 

[Jehannum]

maybe the size advantage won't be as significant as we think

Conor appears to only be slightly smaller than Chuck Liddell when he's walking around

I'll remember that if I have any more ideas homie.

 

[Wild]

Hard to doubt Conor after he's walked the walk like he has, but I have a hard time believing he can hurt Robbie. Robbie's a fucking savage who loves to get into wars and see who's slinging the biggest dick. Conor is right up his alley.

 

[wiz]

im sure robbie is pissed that conor thinks he could waltz right into his third weight class and beat him for the belt; probably why he responded to the challenge so fast. Either way if this fight happened holy shit it would be perfect for ufc 200

 

[Papi Chingon]

I say cancel the dos anjos fight and just leapfrog the 55 division straight to lawler. Dos anjos is going to screw up the lawler fight by beating him.
