    I feel you, to its their own when it comes to fighters, I just think that's one of the coolest things a professional fighter has ever done for a fan. Love em or hate em, I bet you'll watch his fights though lol

    HAHA Doubtful but that sure would be funny as hell to see. Cmac is the real deal! Can't wait to see the fight either way. I give the dude props for going from 145lbs to 170lbs (skipping 155), he isn't afraid of anybody, love that! He'll win this fight then hop back down and rematch with Aldo, knock him out again, then back up to take Dos Anjos LW belt when his poor little foot is healed. Damn Brazilians don't know how to train without getting hurt. And then he'll end up back at Welterweight to take that belt too (beating Lawler) and will be the first fighter to hold 3 belts in the UFC. Write it down, this dude is going to be a mega star!

    He is a bad dude, but I am with Sheldonne. Someone needs to shut him up!

    LOL I started to feel that way at first when he started running his mouth but then he backed up everything he said, ever bit of it and then some. He knows how to sell tickets and put butts in seats. He's making $$$ because of it, he aint stupid, very smart actually. This video shows who he really is I believe. People hated Muhammad Ali for a while too, now he's beloved and revered as the GOAT by most. It's part of the fight business.

    At the end of the day, people want to see him get KO'd or they want to see him KO someone else, either way he wins!

    Yeah, I will admit he has backed it up and it's pretty funny watching him run his mouth, but then it got old for me. He is little too cocky for me. But hey, like you said, he is a smart dude and making loot

    I actually like McGregor... He talks a lot of sh!t, but it seems like an act. Every interview I've seen when he was actually being serious he seemed pretty cool... But who knows.
    And the fact that he backs up the sh!t talking makes it great.

    But I don't think he's knocking Lawler out... Not that he doesn't have the skills. I just think he's too small and will give up too much power.

    Lawler is a tough out for sure, I love watching that guy fight, seen him fight since he was a 19 year old kid, happy that he finally got him the WW belt, but he will get put down just like when Nick Diaz put him down, he's just not fast enough for Conor I don't think. It will be a great f'ing fight though, I can assure you of that, it'll be a war!

    I used to think he was a douche. The schitt he talks before and during the fight is over the top. But after the fight he's a good sport.

    Exactly, it's a business, and he's making bank!

    He's a badass, but he will burn out soon. He goes toe-to-toe too much. If he wants any longevity in the fighting game (if there is such a thing, lol), he will learn to be a little more strategic rather than being a brawler.

    I agree with being strategic and not brawling if you want to have a long fight career but take a look at what he's done in his last 10 fights.

    6 out of his last 10 fights he has finished in the 1st round by TKO or KO

    3 out of 10 he he finished in the 2nd round by TKO or submission

    Only 1 of 10 went to a decision after 3 rounds (before he was champ). This is the only fight that went past round 2 in his entire career.

    His last fight against Aldo (the former #1 Pound-for-pound champ) lasted only 13 seconds. He knocked him out cold and didn't have a scratch on him.

    I don't think he should be considered a brawler, he's very technical and just puts dudes down quick. He's got a lot of mileage left, he's just getting started actually. His only two losses were early in his career and they were 1st round submissions, never been KO'd or TKO'd.

    I want him to lose because of his douchiness, its a fight in any fight anything could happen. Everyone has a punchers chance. Would have liked to see him fight Edgar instead.

    You might still get to see that fight eventually, who knows, but I think Frankie's best days are behind him

    That being said Diaz is also a bit of a douche. I always route for the guy I bet on first.Next I route for the American. If there's no American I route for the white guy. If there's none of those I have no allegiance. Then im just like ahh whatever just don't fight like pu$$ies.
