April Fools! McGregor is rumored to be the backup fighter for Covington Edwards

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I don't expect it to happen, but imagine if it did, and Conor won (even if it is an AF joke thread).

This place would go absolutely nuclear lol

I would love it honestly. I would rather watch him fail again but if this happened I would make the best of it and soak up every moment of drama.

The "backup fighter" shit is the newest promotional scam.
That's how they've forced multiple Dana-darlings into title shots.

I’ve noticed that too

 

[Question]

This is probably an April fools post, but I wouldn't be surprised by something like this actually happening.
Not too long ago they had Anthony Smith of all people weigh in as a backup for a title fight.

 

[CPH]

Coner would get massacred by either. Would watch

I like Edwards and think highly of him, but he is Conor's best bet for the fairy tale ending. He can outstrike Conor or grapplefuck him even, but (assuming that Conor still has a bit of that old killer in him) he can be caught. Meanwhile, Conor is not going to do shit against Covington, Belal, Shavkat. Burns is another good matchup for Conor but he is never going to win the title.

I bet someone gets the Tanya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan treatment and Conor goes in there and fights for the title. Then he breaks his legs again and sails off into the sunset in his Lamborghini yacht known as “the floating potato” with dee and the wee ones in tow. Godspeed Connie, Godspeed.

It'd be fun, at the very least lol.

Hard to argue these things just seem more exciting when he's winning and all that. I wouldn't love him getting handed another shot, but the rest would at least spice things up some lol.

 

[kingghidrah]

I heard he's not just a backup, he's actually replaced Colby

And Edwards, too. It's just Conor now. Playing touchbutt with himself.

I have to keep reminding myself that it's April 1st.

April 2nd it will become true. Gregor slaps these fools like they are April 1st Joke

 

[Kalmah]

April Fools is even dead on the internet. Haven't seen one good joke this year, too afraid of offending people or something.

it's a entertainment league bought out by a hollywood management business. get ready for some highly publicized switch-a-roos in the near future.

The more we can mock and disparage the people in charge the better. They should feel uncomfortable with going out in public.

and def don't pay to watch that jake gyllenhall crap coming out.

 

[vlz]

mcgregor events are hyped up months before

he isnt the backup for anybody

 

[Uber_Noober]

Please let it happen

 

[OldCasualBoxer]

Leon beat Nate from pillar to post for 24m, Conor would have given up as soon he was exhausted!

 

[linvillegorge]

Colby is a nightmare matchup for him. He'd wrestle fuck the shit out of him.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Coner would get massacred by either. Would watch

He has the 1 shot ability to hurt Leon .but has a very small window of opportunity to take advantage off it. Leon by rights should massacre him.
