Media Conor McGregor and Petr Yan face-off in ring at Boxing event

[The Boomerang]

Islam looks shook

Like “omg please don’t look at me Conor, I don’t want to have to acknowledge your presence”

J'aurais cru voir

What tense is this? My French is rusty.


Never in my life did I (think? Expect? Believe? ) that I was going to see a face of between Petr Yan and Conor.

Close?

"Never in my life would I have imagined seeing that someday", along those lines.

 

[CPH]

I know it has been said a thousand times before but man, Conor looks like a ruined old drunk. There is no way he looks halfway decent if he ever makes it into the cage again.

 

[Mentallooser]

Both are probably a bit irritated with the UFC right now. Doesn't really mean anything, but the talk is funny

 

[Clark Rogers]

Islam looks shook

Like “omg please don’t look at me Conor, I don’t want to have to acknowledge your presence”

Islam was quoted after to say "whole life I wrestle bear, fight Eagle Khabib, but never taste fear like witnessing McGregor."

 

[BigTruck]

Conner has a higher fucking head wtf.

 

[Jihad-MMA]

Conor would kill Yan, wouldn’t be competitive at all.
Nice post by the way.

Overall skillset, Yan's still superior. I have Yan beating him before 2016, after Diaz-1, the size's simply too much to overcome.

Finally, a man Conor could pummel

Yeah, that 'aurais' part had the sound of the weird past/future unusual tense that I probably should have paid better attention to in French class instead of focusing my energy on the girls in class.

"Would I have thought I was going to"
(general idea/concept)

Weird. Even seeing that concept mumbled out in English makes me wonder if there was a more linear way to convey that, which is how those type of tenses tend to hit me.

I wish I could still read and write decent french. Made me feel cool for whatever reason

To be fair I follow this guy on twitter, he makes a lot of mistakes in french, it's hard to explain mistakes and correct them to another language. His choice of sentence is not necessarily what someone else would have said.

 

[mahavishnunj]

Anyone to Conor,"Hey we've got something cheesy and awkward as fuck for you to be involved in to make you look like an even bigger douche than before".

Conor,"I'M IN!!!"

That makes sense.

I don't know what the original French is.

But

"I didn't expect to see Conor and Petr Yan"

Or something along those lines...

Seems more plausible than

"Never would I have expected I was going to see Petr Yan and Conor."


And that is the kind of, let's say, unnecessarily clumsiness, you might get with a bad translation.

 

[BigOlJeet]

Am i crazy to think Yan could beat mcgregor?

Not crazy at all, Conor is a step down in competition.

 

[ColombianFist]

If something comes out of this, the sheer idiocy of the match up has no bounds.

Of all the people on mma he had to pick Yan who's a BW... talking about favorable match ups

 

[Sean_wongster_wongmastter]

Conor would murder Yan lol.

 

[BigOlJeet]

Conor would murder Yan lol.

He was also supposed to murder Khabib, Diaz, Dustin in the rematch etc.

 

[TCE]

He was also supposed to murder Khabib, Diaz, Dustin in the rematch etc.

Yan is a BW, weight classes are a real thing in case you've been living under a rock? Conor would smash Yan.

 

[Istryker]

would watch

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Wow Conor is so good.
