no what is being implied here is that, Cerrone is an easy freaking fight. And that's why he said he admits it.

So if you don't think so, obviously you might think it's not right.

admitting is a confession of a fault

i guess we have another one who doesn't know what 'admit' is.
funny thing is he's most likely a native speaker

It clearly does. You should read the OP again where it mentions he wants to be the "BMF champion". Cry more for me though bud.

Special fighter? Giving up his neck and running away is special?

While he was "running away" someone punched Diaz in the face about 100 times, making a mess of him.

If opponents dont fight exactly the way the Diaz bros want them to, the excuse is they were running.

Conor McGregor believes Donald Cerrone looks better at 170 pounds but claimed he could beat his UFC 246 opponent at any weight, even if he had the flu.

Former featherweight and lightweight champion McGregor will make his return to the octagon next Saturday, having not fought since losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in an October 2018 clash that was overshadowed by a post-bout brawl.

Upon announcing his return from retirement, the Irishman said he was planning three fights in 2020, with Jorge Masvidal – due to his victory over Nate Diaz to clinch the BMF title – and Nurmagomedov his primary targets.

McGregor has also spoken of an interest in taking on UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman after opting to make his return at 170lbs, which he feels is more comfortable for Cerrone.

Asked why he did not decide on a lightweight bout and make things difficult for Cerrone, McGregor told ESPN: "I know, I could have. I just don't think he looks well at 155. He's a 170 fighter.

"I'd beat him at any weight. I'd beat him if I had the flu. I don't need that. I just want to focus on my training and keep myself sharp. I don't want to cut and then build and then cut. I'm happy where I’m at.

"Also 170 is an exciting one for me. I like 170. I like what's going on in the 170 division at the minute.

"You've got Jorge with that [BMF] belt, you've got the other guys fighting for the [championship] belt. I like all of what's going on at 170, and I feel good at 170. I feel energetic – it's what I weigh and that's it. It opens up so many more options, right?"

A potential rematch against Nurmagomedov is unlikely to take place outside of the lightweight division, which McGregor assured is no problem.

He added: "I'm not done at 155, I could make 155 this fight no problem, but I just want to go in fresh and as it is, let the fight play as it is and open up all my options.""


desperation lowers comprehension levels i guess

Classic panic-running. Not to mention clock-watching.

I've brought you down to "a reach" from "literally nothing"? Progress.

Just admit you made a mistake and be on your way little fella.

Conor covering his basis incase cowboy beats him. Post fight conor "ah fut with a fuckin flu, I thought it was that easy I TOLD ya before, respect to him, but if I was healthy {<Mcgoat} "
 
JustOnce said:
He would. I think COnor in his prime would beat Cerrone in his prime with his right hand tied behind his back.

Cerrone is awful, a journeyman level fighter. Conor is a special fighter. Only way Conor doesn't kill Cowboy in this upcoming fight is if and only if Conor ruined himself.

The only thing special about Conor is the level of hype he gets for a fighter who has never, *never*, successfully defended a belt.

I would gladly admit fault, but no where in that article does it claim that he wants to be a BMF champ

Not to mention the BMF title is a one and done affair

Also, the title of the thread pertains to his upcoming fight

Against Cerrone

But you posted a photo of conor and nate

which, again, has nothing to do with the thread.
