Boxers or MMA fighters coming out with this guff sound like little kids screaming 'look how hard I am'

Bit classless from Mcgregor.

Sorry, I forgot we were talking about Floyd Mayweather, the living embodiment of the word "humility"

Pointless argument but McGregor annihilates Floyd. McGregor for all his bluster and bullsh!t is on a tear at the minute. Aldo will have his hands full in July and if he wants to keep his belt and his head, he'd better be prepared to put in a superhuman effort. Can't say I'm a fan of McGregor's babble but he's a good fighter to watch and always give value for money (might even be the first entertaining fight Floyd's been in!!!!!!)

Dipper Brown wrote:Yeah pointless statement from McGregor. Sounds like a bit of a mug, always giving it the biggun but utterly charmless and humourless.

Shares a lot in common with Mayweather himself in that regard. I think someone on the podcast was commenting the other day how boring they find the money character. Couldn't agree more.

Just a bunch of girly boys kicking people and love-biting eachother on the ground...

If you can't box try MMA..

Anyone remember Pele Reid ???

He knocked out Vitali, didn't he

You ignored the point. The Americans have dominated the belts/title fights. Once the foreign fighters take over they won't give two craps.

Ryder Cup viewing figures are down because they get their arses kicked each time. They view the UFC as an American brand with American fighters dominating the divisions.

Coxy001 wrote:Dave not discounting the skill level, it's just an each to their own on enjoying MMA though. That and boxing could learn a lot from the one divisional title holder, better ranking system and so forth.

Just can't see it as a sustainable business model. The guys you mentioned have personalities and seem a bit oblivious to the pittance they get paid compared to how much the business itself turns over, it's only a matter of time before there are a load of UFC level business with the best fighters fighting across different organisations. Much like we have with boxing with the belts etc.

F*ck me Rodders, I know people accuse Manny of cherry picking but to suggest he'd deliberately fighting old African women is a bit strong
