News Conor McGregor says he will return June 29th against Michael Chandler at Middleweight

[Ogata]

The Conor Era is running on fumes (and Coke)

Era ended Khabib. After that, it was downhill. Cowboy win did not prove anything important.

 

[-Sideways-]

Chandler by decision.

 

[KOPPE]

McGregor has devolved to a near freak show exhibition.

What's next.. vs Holloway at LHW.

Holloway would kill to get this fight

 

[BOTTICELLI]

Why fight at MW ? I am missing something here? Weird

 

[jeskola]

Chandler appears to be confirming, although saying "would" instead of "will" is suspicious.

Why a half a year away?

What happened to stay ready?

So he can make Chandler wait until May before dropping out

 

[markg171]

He said he'd be announcing it on New Year's and it's not NY's yet. It's only 8pm over in Ireland.

I'm going to have to assume he's trolling, knowing that everybody was waiting for his tweet.

You can rightfully shit on Conor for a lot of things, but dropping out of fights isn't one of them.

Mac figured out a way to get size advantage and not to cut at the same time. smart man.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

My first thought was 185? That tells me Conor isn’t taking this too seriously. At least not today. He should be able to make 171 pretty easily if he trains like he really wants to make a “comeback”.

He could roll off a barstool and make 186.

Just my opinion.

 

[Khaosan]

I think the person Connor cares the most for is himself. Seems like he'd throw his kids and wife off a bridge to save his own ass.

Who wouldn’t do the same?!?!

That’s the point.

Sorry, I mean, he'll continue to make empty promises of something he never plans on actually happening.

God he’s so fuckin thirsty for this fight he’s throwing away the back half of his career to fish for it.

 

[Tapatio]

That delusional, coked out, wife cheating, fragile legged little rat has gone mad!

 

[markg171]

This is the dipshit plan, he is keeping chandler out the ring as long as possible so he can fight a rusty chandler, its clear as day. conor only fights people when he has advantages or special rules such a fraud.

By contrast 3 years off Conor, coming off of a shattered leg, is going to be the epitome of an active and healthy fighter eh?

That's wildly different than dropping out of a signed fight.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Fighting a career lightweight at Middleweight. Fucking wild. He's gonna come in looking like potato farmer UberReem.

 

[Dmac07]

Won’t be laughing when he KOs Chandler

Will still be laughing cause it will be a meaningless win if this does happen. Beating the 6th best fighter from a 155 at 185. He will never make 155, and will never fight a 185 fighter.

Maybe Cannonier v Hooker and DuPlessis v Bobby Green on the same card should happen to.
