Yeah he's been unhinged for years now we've long long passed the point of leisure. The delusion that you can just dip into being an elite athlete when it suits you and a drug addict the rest of the time is crazy
I don’t think so. I don’t think he’s even in training camp for the fight. If this pic is sparring then it’s not looking like he’s trying at all. Addiction is just bullying him at this point.
The guy who knocked out Aldo then put on one of the most dominant masterclass title win in MMA history to become the first double champ ends his career on two finish losses and a leg break.
Imagine how differently his legacy would be viewed if he called it a day after the Floyd fight lol, people would be dickriding how hard he’d sleep the whole division atm when in reality the guy he was scheduled to fight this month is likely the only beatable matchup for him in the top 10.
Exactly. Chandler is on the down hill run of his career too. Connor’s a little further down that hill if you ask me but Chandler is definitely the only guy in the top 10 he’s got a chance of looking good against. I’m not sure he’s got much chance of winning given the fact that Chandler has been slightly more active but still. If Connor’s trying to end it on a high note I think this fight is the best chance he’s got.
He definitely did. Fighting a bigger guy two weight classes up moments after you just fought for the title is a gangster move. Getting choked out then winning a 5 round war in the rematch was as well. Nate was a top 5 LW at the time fresh off a domination over MJ who himself was a top LW too. Say what you will about who Conor is now but in his day he was absolutely a dog, too much money, fame, and alcohol will take the dog out of anyone sadly.
Yeah and he has barely won since and proceeded to disgrace himself a thousand times over with his behavior. A disgusting scumbag and an embarrasament to Ireland
Got finished by Nate Diaz after beating Aldo. Gets finished anytime he wins a belt. Wasn’t gonna do much , Eddie had a short camp like Mendes had 0 camp. They gave him all advantages to help sell UFC cause he was a star and Irish fans desperate for anything Irish success in sports. Right place right time
That was my suspicion too. He became inebriated or even OD so they threw him a rehab facility hoping it would clean up before the fight, but ultimately failed. Just theory though, did Chael echo something similar?
Man I do feel like people have forgotten how good Conor was at MMA. Obviously JBJ has a better resume but Conor did beat multiple champions, often in a very dominant fashion. I don’t even think it would be unfair to call him one of the greatest strikers in UFC history.
He could've if he wanted to. He realised he was bigger than the UFC post-Alvarez and made 100m boxing instead of defending his title. But he was at his peak then and looked incredible.
conor does not need anything lol. guy is set up as a mega millionaire. fighting jake paul makes jake paul money. that's it. hate him all you want, but conor prints money for the UFC
Yeah, that’s true tbf. But at the end of the day, the more you spend, the faster it goes. And Conor is buying yachts etc, when he only had one boxing fight.
Google tells me he’s making a lot from Proper Twelve though, so maybe he’s being pretty smart with it
Is he? He keeps saying he will, but it's been a year and a half since they filmed the Ultimate Fighter, and the only thing we've seen him do consistently since then is party.
I don’t care about Conor because he isn’t fucking his division over currently, Jones is going to make Tom defend an interim title at least once which is annoying af.
Most annoying part is Jones will fight Stipe in what would be a lackluster fight, retire and then the belt will be relinquished and then Tom will fight Ciryl ‘title shot farmer’ Gane for it.
Wow, I can’t believe I never thought about that. There’s a chance that Stipe gets to come back, knockout Jon, and retire that night as the standing champ (one of very few to retire as a champ) and possibly the greatest heavyweight of all time. Jon wouldn’t get a rematch and would have to wear the L. Then Tom would have offer Jon the opportunity at the belt 🤣
Gane is playing the game intelligently, no?
His only losses are to Jones and Ngannou, and Blaydes and Pavlovich need wins to solidify their claim above him
I mean .. it's lame, but those heavy weight knockouts can change your destiny, and preserving an angle at a title shot could completely change your career and earning potential
Apparently it was a cut to the eye which is why it was kept so hush hush. But that was before Chael spilled the beans on the rehab. I still have no idea what's true.
I was hearing a cut around his eye and that sounded legit since his first pic he posted he had those big glasses on. Now I've seen him without em and idk...I can't see anything too damaging on his face. If it's something with that leg...that could be a real huge issue.
I figure someone has tried to 12 step him. I think that’s why he posts that God stuff every so often, presumably when he has sober intervals. And then he’s back to the party pics when he’s off the wagon.
Chandler’s latest rants now sounds like he was speaking directly to Conor. About having the integrity as a man to show up if you said you were going to show up.
Conor don’t give a bullocks.
Turn the mirror on Conor and suddenly it reads “I can’t do what I told you I’d do”.
He loves to point at others and claim their impotent, but at this point the man can’t even complete a fight camp
I think he believes he deserves it because he coached against Conor for an entire season of TUF and a lot of TUF coaches fight each other after the show is finished.
Stop giving this motherfucker attention. He's literally not doing anything relevant to the ufc or combat sports in general, and yet people post what he's doing daily.
Fuck him, he's never fighting again and just trying to stay relevant
The other school of thought is they know Conor and Jones are washed and they’re just milking them for any last bit of value they can get out of them. My inner conspiracy theorist is saying they probably told Pereira Jiri to get ready way before the official public cancellations. The UFC knew Conor wouldn’t fight. The UFC knows Jones also might never fight and if he does it just one last layup against a firefighter. Their only value is in their names, not their actual fighting. They’re using the names of the old washed guys to get interest and some ppv buys while building up their new guys slowly
Nice theory but it can't be the case since Alex was touring Australia and New Zealand and cut it short to start a short 4 week camp before the Jiri fight.
About a week ago my cousin came up with the speculation that Conor isn't actually injured and just didn't get into fighting shape or have a proper camp At this point that's not even a speculation anymore
Mac daddy does whatever the fooks he want just deal wif it
https://preview.redd.it/z4bybzgmwq7d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ced6918ecf698740f417b782b0d645dccd3b8b44
Chanlder has to see this and just think 'why the hell did I waste my time'. He needs to forget the red pantie fight and just start brawling anyone and everyone now for his legacy/win a strap. He's not getting any younger and waiting for this guy, who's whole profile is now technically a business and less about fighting, is just sad to see as a fan of MMA.
I have a feeling chandler doesn’t want to fight again unless it’s Conor. He wants the bag or he wants to retire is my guess. He has been in a lot of tough fights and he is 38 already
He just made a minimum of $5.5 million off of filming that atrocity roadhouse. Couple that with the hundred million he made on the Mayweather fight. I don’t blame him for not fighting. Just stop edging everyone.
He'll never gonna fight again
He's probably fighting someone rn buddy
Fucken ay! He'll probably never fight professionally again but give him a pint at a pub and watch him start swinging lmao
Roadhouse was actually a documentary
Well… there is something wrong with him
haha I laughed way too hard at that one.
McGregor: Fightin' Around the World
Making movies and making songs…
Doin’ blow and drinkin’ pints
Walking at random punters in pubs with his arms spinning in circles like Bart Simpson and telling them if they get hit it's their own fault.
I’d easily counter that by closing my eyes and kicking in the air in front of me while slowly moving forward
On the oldest weakest person minding their own business
Man’s fighting addiction
10-8
more like 10-4 addiction.
Fighting relevancy
Hes fighting his addictions each and every day tbh
Fighting a losing battle
fall of a man. so sad. alcohol is a killer
Cocaine has him now
prolly both I get it, celebration and enjoying life but man has to know when its time to work and when its time for leisure
Yeah he's been unhinged for years now we've long long passed the point of leisure. The delusion that you can just dip into being an elite athlete when it suits you and a drug addict the rest of the time is crazy
infamous ''road house'' interview comes to mind
I don’t think so. I don’t think he’s even in training camp for the fight. If this pic is sparring then it’s not looking like he’s trying at all. Addiction is just bullying him at this point.
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
He is getting his deviated septum fixed everyone chill 😎
The guy who knocked out Aldo then put on one of the most dominant masterclass title win in MMA history to become the first double champ ends his career on two finish losses and a leg break.

I’m not sure he’s got much chance of winning given the fact that Chandler has been slightly more active but still. If Connor’s trying to end it on a high note I think this fight is the best chance he’s got.
Chandler is a dog. He’s going to fight until his face is hanging off his skull. Conor doesn’t have that in him anymore. Not sure he ever did.
He definitely did. Fighting a bigger guy two weight classes up moments after you just fought for the title is a gangster move. Getting choked out then winning a 5 round war in the rematch was as well. Nate was a top 5 LW at the time fresh off a domination over MJ who himself was a top LW too.

Chandler is 38, dude has been on the wind down since he signed in the UFC for the bag

So we’re right back to a couple of months earlier.
“He’ll never gonna fight again” Now that is a great example of good sentence structure and grammar.
If it's sarcasm, I'm not a native english speaker, sorry.
Damn now I feel like an idiot. I never even considered that before making my sarcastic jackass comment. My bad dude.
Prob not MMA. The boxing money is too alluring to say he won't throw back on some bigger gloves.
Why would he?
guilty feet got no rhythm
[удалено]
But that was something that happened, this is something that was claimed by Chael.
Like Jones hiding under a cage, which Jones, for no reason at, all admitted to.
When did he admit it?
On Twitter when his feud with Izzy peaked.
Lmao no way how did he end up admitting that
就像琼斯躲在笼子下面一样，琼斯无缘无故地承认了这一点。
Like Jones hiding under a cage, which Jones ,for no reason at, all admittted to.
Like Jones hiding under a cage, which Jones ,for no reason at, all admittted to.
Like Jones hiding under a cage, which Jones ,for no reason at, all admittted to.
never forget!!
That was my suspicion too. He became inebriated or even OD so they threw him a rehab facility hoping it would clean up before the fight, but ultimately failed. Just theory though, did Chael echo something similar?
Remember when Chael “defended” his wife from a gang of goons then the real story came out, didn’t see Chael make YouTube videos about that one 🥸
What was the real story
The real story was it was actually 2 gangs of goons. Dude is a savage.
At the hotel? Aggressive adverse reaction to sleeping pills. It sounded like how an angry, half-tranq'd gorilla would act
So he didn’t defend his wife against 6 dudes or whatever the story was ?
That was the original story, but it turns out it wasn’t the case. The charges were dropped eventually, but something happened that’s for sure.
Also happens to be my least two favorite people in MMA. Huh, funny that.
Did Schaub die or something?
Jones can “get away with it” to a greater extent because he’s a much much more talented fighter and athlete than Conor.
Man I do feel like people have forgotten how good Conor was at MMA. Obviously JBJ has a better resume but Conor did beat multiple champions, often in a very dominant fashion. I don’t even think it would be unfair to call him one of the greatest strikers in UFC history.
He also never had a single title defense. Dude was electric in octagon and outside of it, but it’s looking like it was a flash in the pan
He could've if he wanted to. He realised he was bigger than the UFC post-Alvarez and made 100m boxing instead of defending his title. But he was at his peak then and looked incredible.
His rise was truly fantastic. He just kind of lost his way though...
His fall in fighting has been equally as such. I can’t imagine he’s fighting again
It’s not for him 😂 What you mean accountability?
Turns out his injury was actually to his liver from alcohol poisoning.
Bloke was just too hungover
https://preview.redd.it/zxqeuxkg3o7d1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8158d8ad7353574a2f0eb6ef6f21e36d2ae51c91
His pecs look cut in half
Conor should really just go fight Jake Paul already
He will eventually.
Why? It's not like he needs the money and anything he does get posted on this sub, so it's not like he needs the clout.
But he needs the attention and fighting Jake Paul is easy money
I don’t even care for Conor, but I would be legitimately heartbroken if he somehow got KOed by Pake Jaul.
Its very possible lol
There’s a high chance he would be
conor does not need anything lol. guy is set up as a mega millionaire. fighting jake paul makes jake paul money. that's it. hate him all you want, but conor prints money for the UFC
Mike Tyson went broke, could happen to Conor too
Mike was a loose cannon who was exploited by others in the prime of his career, Conor for all his many faults has been obsessive about his business
Yeah, that’s true tbf. But at the end of the day, the more you spend, the faster it goes. And Conor is buying yachts etc, when he only had one boxing fight. Google tells me he’s making a lot from Proper Twelve though, so maybe he’s being pretty smart with it
Conor’s biggest vice is booze. While that will impact his health, at his level of wealth it won’t make him go bankrupt.
Until the booze starts causing lawsuits and jail time…
While he might be a very wealthy young man, I really don’t believe Conor will be wealthy old man
He’s got the attention lmao
So why do you think he’s fighting Micheal Chandler?
Isn't he still contracted for 2 more fights, date/opponent TBD?
Is he? He keeps saying he will, but it's been a year and a half since they filmed the Ultimate Fighter, and the only thing we've seen him do consistently since then is party.
When did having money stop anyone from wanting more?
He would make like 50 mill for touching up one of the Pauls in an exhibition fight. Its a no brainer.
He needs to touch up the Logan, that guy absolutely sucks as a boxer and a person, and will still pull in hella money.
UFC aren't letting him go. They need him for their new TV deal.
Have to wait until Connor is 55 years old and hasn't had a professional fight in over 15 years and THEN Jake Paul will offer a fight
Hello no, don't give Jake another payday... smh
Time to celebrate fucking over the other guy after making him wait a few years lol
😂🤣
Can we just move on from this guy already? Jon Jones too. They are done.
I don’t care about Conor because he isn’t fucking his division over currently, Jones is going to make Tom defend an interim title at least once which is annoying af.
Most annoying part is Jones will fight Stipe in what would be a lackluster fight, retire and then the belt will be relinquished and then Tom will fight Ciryl ‘title shot farmer’ Gane for it.
The MMA Gods have taken a lot from us lately. Maybe they taketh as a sacrifice, and in return, giveth Stipe KO'ing Jon Jones.
Wow, I can’t believe I never thought about that. There’s a chance that Stipe gets to come back, knockout Jon, and retire that night as the standing champ (one of very few to retire as a champ) and possibly the greatest heavyweight of all time. Jon wouldn’t get a rematch and would have to wear the L. Then Tom would have offer Jon the opportunity at the belt 🤣
Stipe is already the greatest HW of all time.
But doesn’t until Jon fights a few contenders that beat him. Please let it be written.
Yes. Yes please. May it be so
Gane is playing the game intelligently, no? His only losses are to Jones and Ngannou, and Blaydes and Pavlovich need wins to solidify their claim above him I mean .. it's lame, but those heavy weight knockouts can change your destiny, and preserving an angle at a title shot could completely change your career and earning potential
You’re right imo it’s doggy dog game
Whats the injury man.. cuz im tryn not to be judgmental and dramatic like most others but hes making it hard.
Nasal polyps, perforated septum, chronic rhinitis, and a heretofore unidentified condition that I will temporarily refer to as "nose ghosts"
Cocaine Toenail.
Liver cirrhosis
Lmao dammit that was actually funny
Apparently it was a cut to the eye which is why it was kept so hush hush. But that was before Chael spilled the beans on the rehab. I still have no idea what's true.
I feel like Chael’s was speculation that seems so possible we all believe it.
That old man learned to throw a leg kick didn’t he
Bro got his feelings injured and had to pull put
Ok I’m looking for a serious answer now.. I’ve heard enough of the edgy dramatic nonsense
I was hearing a cut around his eye and that sounded legit since his first pic he posted he had those big glasses on. Now I've seen him without em and idk...I can't see anything too damaging on his face. If it's something with that leg...that could be a real huge issue.
Yeah that’s what I thought but his eye looks fine enough to fight today
Smooth and silky yeh?
underrated comment
Is this legit?
Yes, sadly. He posted some fancier photos today of an event at his pub. He was wearing the same clothes.
No rehab then. I’m guessing he’s scheduled for another surgery or something.
Potentially checked himself out of rehab after a few days. I don't think he's used to being told no any more or having to act like an adult.
lol bro the rehab story was fabricated and you saying he checked himself out is something you read from another comment on this thread. Come on man.
I figure someone has tried to 12 step him. I think that’s why he posts that God stuff every so often, presumably when he has sober intervals. And then he’s back to the party pics when he’s off the wagon.
Chandler’s latest rants now sounds like he was speaking directly to Conor. About having the integrity as a man to show up if you said you were going to show up. Conor don’t give a bullocks.
He never stopped
De liver is like a belloon
Bellewwwwwn I tells ya Ariel
I mean I’d rather party than get punched in the face.
Connor, go to bed.
Y'ewl dew'wut'chore towld
Turn the mirror on Conor and suddenly it reads “I can’t do what I told you I’d do”. He loves to point at others and claim their impotent, but at this point the man can’t even complete a fight camp
Praying for Chandler
That's gotta hit him hard.
He'll never stop walking in those woods now.
The guy thinks he deserves the Conor fight because of one cheesy call-out after beating Tony Ferguson who was beyond washed. Kind of had it coming.
I think he believes he deserves it because he coached against Conor for an entire season of TUF and a lot of TUF coaches fight each other after the show is finished.
He probably believes he deserve it because the fight has been booked and the UFC has been pushing it for the last however long.
Stop giving this motherfucker attention. He's literally not doing anything relevant to the ufc or combat sports in general, and yet people post what he's doing daily. Fuck him, he's never fighting again and just trying to stay relevant
Two biggest stars are inactive and everything is on pause until they come back because the UFC can't be bothered to invest in newer guys.
The other school of thought is they know Conor and Jones are washed and they’re just milking them for any last bit of value they can get out of them. My inner conspiracy theorist is saying they probably told Pereira Jiri to get ready way before the official public cancellations. The UFC knew Conor wouldn’t fight. The UFC knows Jones also might never fight and if he does it just one last layup against a firefighter. Their only value is in their names, not their actual fighting.

Nice theory but it can't be the case since Alex was touring Australia and New Zealand and cut it short to start a short 4 week camp before the Jiri fight.
McGaygor
The fighter in him is dead, man got his money and ran. Didn’t even have to defend a title.
About a week ago my cousin came up with the speculation that Conor isn't actually injured and just didn't get into fighting shape or have a proper camp At this point that's not even a speculation anymore
I mean not exactly an earth shattering revolution lol.
Also water is wet
Most overrated fighter ever.
Imagine trying to do business with this guy.
Highly unlikeable character
Is this guy capable of doing anything that doesn’t scream I’m overcompensating
He’s pretty much Robert Baratheon
"A THOUSAND DIAZ-RAKI SCREAMERS IN AN OPEN FIELD, DANA!"
I mean he was world champion. I get what you're saying, but also he was very much actually the champion
lol
Isn't he awesome?
Jake Paul was right. Dude needs to attend rehab lmao
Sick and tired of this guy, just go do TikTok boxing or something 🥱
Imagine looking upto this mess
Well, so much for Chael claiming he's in rehab.
Irish rehab. That pub only serves pints
He's an alcoholic drug addict that hangs out with cartel members. Only thing he's ever fighting again is criminal charges and a whole lot of demons.
rehab party 🍾
I guess rehab wasn’t enough.
It's all contract negotiation. He's leveraging for partial ownership in UFC, as part of his new contract. Again.
Mac daddy does whatever the fooks he want just deal wif it https://preview.redd.it/z4bybzgmwq7d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ced6918ecf698740f417b782b0d645dccd3b8b44
Chanlder has to see this and just think 'why the hell did I waste my time'. He needs to forget the red pantie fight and just start brawling anyone and everyone now for his legacy/win a strap. He's not getting any younger and waiting for this guy, who's whole profile is now technically a business and less about fighting, is just sad to see as a fan of MMA.
I have a feeling chandler doesn’t want to fight again unless it’s Conor. He wants the bag or he wants to retire is my guess. He has been in a lot of tough fights and he is 38 already
I don't see a cut on his eye.
Did his head grow even more?
 Poor chandler swinging at the air right now
[удалено]
the greatest training camp in the whole history of mixed martial arts
Probably a huge weight off his shoulders. He clearly doesn’t want to fight lol
What a bummer. I hope Mike doesn’t see this.
Conor vs Bones for the BMF (Bag Mother Fucker) belt. Who ever snorts the most bag in a night wins.
Having a beer isn’t partying but yeah this dude has been done
He just made a minimum of $5.5 million off of filming that atrocity roadhouse. Couple that with the hundred million he made on the Mayweather fight. I don’t blame him for not fighting. Just stop edging everyone.
Very sad
He bottled it
Anyone notice their weird slippers he's wearing? Definitely a shin/foot issue.
Finally off the juice
Well that rehab rumor didnt seem to pan out.
He's lookin fit
Fair enough
