    Cherry picking all champs and top ranked guys in his division? Ok:roll:

    If disrespect offends you , then get away from the fight game. This isn't tiddly winks. This is combat where every combatant is out to make as much money as possible. Not everybody can talk the talk and walk the walk , but Connor can and thats why he is now the most recognizable fighter on the planet .

    The other is against a 10 year unbeaten ATG of the sport. Who most were saying had far too much experience over McGregor.

    Chose Nate Diaz? No he did not.
    He went up in weight and immediately chose the Champion -Dos Anjos. . A guy who would beat Edgar or Ferguson. A guy who Joe Rogan said is too much of a test for McGregor. At least he shed the weight in order to challenge the champion. GGG wont drop 3 pound to get a fight with the Bum Canelo - which he desperately craves. McGregor is willing to make every concession to get the super fights. TripleG is willing to make absolutely NONE.

    Then you know nothing about combat sports. Stick to cheer leading cossacks as your handle suggests.

    :rofl:silly

    Haven't ever heard that comparison. I don't follow mma. I've heard the Ronda Rousey comparisons a few times on this board before Holly Holmes knocked her out. But I just find mma a lot less interesting than boxing. Maybe, it's because the sport is young and not as mature as boxing. Maybe, it's because the talent pool for mma is 1/8 of what boxing's is so there aren't as many good fights or fighters. Maybe, it's because I think wrestling is boring, or because I'm frustrated that the rules bar a lot of strikes and favor grappling. It's just not my sport. Boxing is.

    I don't need to tell you guys what happened in the Holm/Tate fight tonight. But I like said, there are too many variables and too much to defend.

    She's probably very happy she doesn't have to fight Holm again.

    The BOXER Holly Holm loses.
    McGregor also loses.
    Weird night of the underdogs.
    UFC is very different to boxing. Losses are all too easy to pick up in UFC.

    If boxing is so easy, then why don't MMA fighters come over dominate the sport and reap the more lucrative paydays that the top fighters in boxing can make?? Should be a poiece of cake right since all they have to worry about is punches.?:roll:

    I asked a logical question which you obviously don;t have a response so you resort to calling me butthurt:-(. Its a valid question. If boxing is so much easier than MMA as some like to claim since "you all you have to worry about is punching" then why don't MMA fighters participate since the paydays for the boxing champions are more lucartive?

    And let's see, Lucas Browne has 24 pro boxing fights, and 8 MMA fights, so no, I say a boxer who dabbled in MMA a little just won a major belt. Whoops!:good
