How would a boxing match between Conor McGregor and Islam Makhachev play out? 🥊
harvey.leonard18d ago
McGregor. Makhachev's striking is good but against top boxers in the UFC he relies on the takedown threat, similar to how Khabib was able to knock down Conor. Without that, he gets pieced up
jamie.theodosi20d ago
Yeah Conor beats him if he dedicates himself to training for a year.
kyle.dimond20d ago
Would have to go with McGregor, that’s probably the one ruleset he could beat Islam in. Has experience focusing only on boxing too
McGregor vs Ricci. Who gets the W?
benabdllahsami16d ago
Conor 👍

How excited would you be for Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 3 at this stage?
jaymercer3232d ago
At this point the only named fighter I’d give Nate the odds to win are BJ Penn and MAYBE Matt Hughes. If his stem cell therapy hasn’t improved his state. Even then I bet beating someone down would be the last thing that train knocked out of him. All his training if someone messed with Matt he’d instantly click into old gorilla mode Matt.

The first two weren't that great. The build up and drama had a lot of people entertained, but the fights were bad. Especially The second one. If it was to no name fighters they'd gotten booed. A third one wouldn't be any better.

And this post must be ragebait. Nobody who knows MMA to any extent, would say that he's the overall GOAT of the sport.
raadahmad036151d ago
Well it got me raging while listening to Rage Against the Machine
If you are the greatest Mixed Martial Artist you are great at all aspects of fighting. Conor has good striking, that's it. He is the greatest at marketing himself and creating drama, but those aren't things to consider when talking about The GOAT.

Do you agree with Urijah Faber?
The UFC Hall of Famer insists there is 'no bigger fight' than Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 3
jordan.ellis220d ago
McGregor vs Diaz 3 is the biggest no-brainer ever.

Who had the bigger impact on the UFC? 🤔
adnan.riaz104d ago
Defo Conor. But Rousey deserved to be in a similar company to him. No doubt.
seabright05170d ago
When anyone starts talking about these 2 when they find out im a mma fan I just control my desire to yell stfu!!!
harvey.leonard220d ago
Rousey's role in women's MMA is greater than what McGregor's stardom has added to the UFC
Conor vs mvp would be dope too
richknife100103d ago
MVP would play with him like a basketball like he did with Cannonier
adnan.riaz104d ago

Masvidal and Mcgregor is the Ultimate Mafia Boss clash
adnan.riaz104d ago
Back in the day, this would have been MEGA. Who would have won it, though?

Plus do actually believe either Silva or McGregor could've come back from those injuries without steroids? If so you're kidding yourself..
dynel3168d ago
Islam and khabib been using them since 9 or 10 yrs old , Islam said it
Name one other UFC star and I’ll call bullshit. There is Conor, that’s it. The rest are fighters, Conor made all of them more famous, made them more money and brought UFC from the shadows.
dr.cheyno228d ago
That's what all the casuals say.

sphentastick238d ago
He definitely drew me into the sport for sure

Anyone who actually defended a belt. He never defended a belt, got beaten by Nate Diaz. He excelled at talking smack. That's the only reason he was popular.
jordan.ellis259d ago
People love using that didn't defend reason, but reality is he didn't defend cos he was busy achieving the next great thing. LW title and then fighting Mayweather.

CHANGE MY MIND: Conor McGregor is the UFC's greatest legend
'Notorious' took MMA to the next level at the height of his legendary career.
galacticbreakdown28d ago
I don't think it's really even debatable. No one has generated more success for the industry than Connor. No single fighter has raised the profile of the sport more than him. He's a household name that people who don't even watch UFC still know who he is. He's Hulk Hogan, he's Stone Cold & The Rock of UFC
jaymercer3232d ago
He’s certainly the most notorious in mma history thus far
adnan.riaz104d ago
Not. A. Chance. At. All.

Who wins this fight and how? đź‘€
It looks like we may finally see Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler in 2026.
s11gibbs6262d ago
1st round TKO
donaghcorby1997265d ago
Conor wins by KO and the comeback begins!
louis-mazzitelli266d ago
Ko

Name a more impressive UFC performance than Conor McGregor's win over Eddie Alvarez.
Got one that you think is better? Comment below.
donaghcorby1997265d ago
One could argue that the likes of Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov are more dominant, but very few are more impressive
harvey.leonard266d ago
Volkanovski against Holloway in their trilogy. Just the perfect performance across five rounds. Showed he had become levels above after two close fights.

bradydepue266d ago
Rory Macdonald vs Dustin porier Rory never fight the same
What do you think about Conor McGregor's comments about the WWE?
Fair or foul? The UFC superstar aimed an unprovoked attack at John Cena in 2016.
kyle.dimond262d ago
As a huge pro wrestling fan, I'm conflicted. He's bang on about John Cena though

Name a KO that rivals McGregor vs Aldo for the most iconic finish in UFC history.
Can anything match the main event of UFC 194? Let us know in the comments below.
kyle.dimond286d ago
I don't think anything comes close. Even Holloway's KO of Gaethje is great but not on the same level.
bariloliverg293d ago
Francis ngannou vs Allister overeem
xsivxlr8tion294d ago
James Irvin vs Houston Alexander 8 seconds
How does Conor McGregor vs Petr Yan play out in a boxing ring?
george.patten296d ago
Depends what weight they go for... I think Yan is the better boxer though
kyle.dimond296d ago
Yan's boxing is phenomenal but Conor is way bigger, especially now. If he was dialled in, McGregor.
Do you think Conor McGregor would have any chance against Islam Makhachev? 🤨
kyle.dimond262d ago
Nope. Prime Conor vs Makhachev is a different conversation but not a chance at this stage.
mike12yankees277d ago
Conor has no ground game
jamie.theodosi289d ago
Definitely not. Makhachev deals with him easier than Khabib did.
Who should Conor McGregor fight in his UFC comeback?
jbdizzl545193d ago
It won’t be anyone because the clown isn’t coming back.
otisjai0907225d ago
Volk
matt.elizardo26228d ago
Izzy or nate
Since there are no more ppv buys on paramount and the only people that will be able to see it live will be billionaire trump donors and insiders what difference does it make, lol, they will never let ordinary people buy tickets, even if they mortgage their house to afford it!
deenaneilson310d ago
Yes, but I've been subcribor to Paramount for years because of other content, I rarely bought ppv, usually went to my local sports bar to watch. Now I don't need to spend additional money on outside food and drinks so I'm saving in the long run

donaghcorby1997310d ago
It will be free for viewers on TV though, will you be tuning in?
Conor McGregor is back in training for a UFC comeback
kyle.dimond262d ago
I think I speak for a lot of fans when I say I'll believe he's coming back when I hear Bruce Buffer's intro and not a second before.
Hey guys, Donagh here! I've been covering Conor McGregor for years, and particularly the past two I have not been optimistic about his return to the cage. However, I'm starting to get cautiously optimistic about the White House event, not just from his posts but from sources.

Conor McGregor says he's 'living' in the gym, do you believe him? Let us know below!
kyle.dimond262d ago
I do believe that he wants to fight again. Whether that happens is a whole other conversation.
mike12yankees306d ago
Doesn't matter, he's yesterday news
Do you believe Conor McGregor will make his UFC return at the White House?
kyle.dimond262d ago
I do. I think Trump will make it happen.
mike12yankees303d ago
I don't care
harvey.leonard310d ago
My Conor McGregor policy at this point is do not believe anything he says until it actually happens
