Conor McGregor to UFC: 'Cut the bullsh-t', give me Nate Diaz
- Thread starter Wild
- Start date
next time tell a joke then!
Someone: "blah blah blah Potato Army"
You: "Good I don't want them watching MMA"
Me: "What's your problem with Irish people?"
Far from my best work, but it was pretty obvious, lol.

I'm starting to think this fight will happen.....
I bet he didn't call that RNC coming. Conor diggin himself deeper and deeper, it's getting pathetic now.

thenotoriousmmaWorking the rear hand uppercut with Roddy prior to UFC 196.
A shot I called pre fight.
Who else can call a shot like the rear hand uppercut on a big 6 foot lurch and then go out and dig that baby repeatedly into the nose?
Anyone?
Didn't think so.
Mark my fucking words I am going to toy with him in the rematch.
Believe that.
Like the size doesn't matter eh Conor.
Bullshit.
Maybe 2-3 people suggested it, that is not a common narrative, and enough people, like me too, argued against it. I don't think anyone was so adamant about it. Its just a discussion bro, sometimes what you suggest is wrong.
The same 2-3 people? I don't know, your whole argument is weird anyway and hinders a rational discourse. You just put together some stuff that sounded good in your (here) tinfoil-covered head.
There are irrational people and posts on both sides. No need to attack everyone for it and call it common.
"They". You are actually doing the exact thing you are trying to criticize.
I like you, dude, but this post is a mess on many levels in this context.
Now I do get why Conor-supporters and others feel weird about the current status, and that they do see a lot of negative things posted about him. But its no reason to start up a "we vs them"-thing, or to put people in groups they don't belong, or even make groups out to be much bigger than they are. I have been put into one side from several Conor-supporters here, just because I'm not 'on his side', but I do not belong in the other either.
Just nip this populist shit in the bud, okay? Its not a positive thing.

Wait, how am I doing what I am trying to criticize? In order for me to do that, I would have to present an argument that says that Conor has done no wrong. That is not the case. I am also not speaking of all people who criticize Conor. I do not want to tag people's names because I know what it will turn into if I do. There were entire threads about it, and it is literally all over the internet. If I tagged the specific people on here that do it, there would be zero productive conversation, and they aren't being active in the thread right now so I don't want to pick any fights. It will absolutely clog this thread up for hours if I do.
It was definitely more than 2 or 3, and and it absolutely is a common narrative. Just because you yourself criticize Conor without being irrational doesn't mean that you are a common occurrence. People were very adamant about it. I think you might have missed a few threads on here, man.

That "tinfoil" comment is ridiculous. You are insinuating that I am a conspiracy nutjob? What's the conspiracy? Who is conspiring? It's hilarious that you did this whole breakdown of what I said trying to speak of rationality and then you pull that one out.
Oh, I get it now. This is about your defensiveness because you have been lumped in with the Conor detractors. Maybe this will help- I wasn't talking about you. You have been released from my comment.
Look, if what I said doesn't apply to you, it doesn't apply to you. If I tagged the people who I am referencing there would be a giant argument on here for hours because as (apparently) we have both observed, they aren't the most rational people in the world. I did not lump everyone into anything. "Common narrative" doesn't mean everybody, and it doesn't even mean most people. It's just common. It's all over the internet, anywhere where there are people talking about MMA. If you think that I am the one who is being populist and irrational, I think you probably missed the threads where this was discussed. If you didn't, my apologies. You don't seem like one of the people who I am referencing, and I wasn't lumping you or others who think and speak like you into it.

I initially thought they'd run it back, or have Conor vs Aldo/Frankie in New York, but it seems they may do it sooner.
My guess is that Conor and Dana/Lorenzo have made up privately. It's a lose-lose situation where Conor got his hand slapped and put back in his place. They'll make it back by having Conor vs Nate shortly after 200, and then have Conor fight Aldo/Frankie winner possibly still on that New York card.
If Nate is serious (and I think he is) that he'll only fight Conor the UFC has to strike while the iron is hot with these two and cash in on a mega rematch.

I'm really thinking about tweeting this to Conor, with the quote included (with that website cropped out)
"I am facing a taller, longer and heavier man." - Conor McGregor
That was regarding this:
I'm pretty sure you are lumping people with it that shouldn't be lumped in with it, me totally aside. Same as you were lumped in wrongfully.
Hehe, well, you spoke about seeing a pattern, spoke about "they" who built a foolproof system, spoke about that the same people who called him a pussy before are calling him a pussy now. (are you sure?)
Your choice of words, don't be mad if I take it to the conclusion.
And really, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't believe you remembered every person who said this or that, or that you made a list even and compared it. I think this was more a feeling you had, am I right?
A little bit perhaps, but, I wanted to speak out against that sort of thing since I do believe its bad for the forum culture in general to make out these groups and build a group vs group thing over a topic that isn't worth it imho. You will alienate the wrong people with it.
I get that your discussion was a little vent off, and that the Conor haters are not creating a good culture either, but still, I just don't think its a good thing to do. And I don't think your assessment was that correct to begin with either. I don't think I missed threads about it, but I could be wrong since I didn't really pay that much attention to them or who said what. Still, that there is a large group of people who said both things, I do not believe, sorry.
I didn't lump people in with the statement that the above was a response to. The people who I am speaking of hold the belief system that I laid out. I am not sure what lumps people in there. I said "Everybody who..." because that is what they portray.
The first paragraph isn't a bad point at all. I can see what you mean there, but they didn't have a meeting and plan all of this together. It is a common thought process, but it was not a conspiracy. I don't really think the "tinfoil" comment was necessary, but it's no biggie.Hehe, well, you spoke about seeing a pattern, spoke about "they" who built a foolproof system, spoke about that the same people who called him a pussy before are calling him a pussy now.

In terms of the second paragraph, I doubt I have remembered every person, and I definitely did not make a list. I do have multiple people in mind, and not all of them are on TMMAC. I think you are assuming a lot. This is a feeling that I have based on the extensive amount of information that I have received from people on the internet, whether it be twitter, TMMAC, or a conversation that I had on Instagram the other day. I think you are assuming that I am some typical internet whiner, but you are mistaken.
I understand your point here. I have some opinions about what is the worst cancer for MMA forums in general, and it ties into the comments that I made above, but I have already stated my case and I don't want to further antagonize. I can tell you are rational, though a bit snarky, and I don't have any beef with you. You're obviously a productive, positive member of this group.

Now I will always imagine you are hanging around somewhere in my blind spot..
