    Dana didnt seem opposed to giving conor some ownership in ufc.

    Conor loves the money but he seems to want a legacy and challenges.

    Yeah, I wouldn't fight again in UFC if I was him. I'd probably start my own UFC type thing, he's got the juice to do it. Get the best fighters by giving them more of the pie.

    Good fight. McGregor held his own for 8 rounds vs Mayweather no shame there. McGregor was strong early, but Floyd kept ducking and turning his back as well as grabbed onto McGregor so many times I lost count. I was suprised how many warnings McGregor for punches to the back of floyds head.

    In the end McGregor who has never fought that long in a fighting match lasted till the 9th round against pretty boy floyd. Not bad. Not bad at all.

    McGregor could be a champion boxer if he trained a bit more to get up his stamina now that he knows what boxing is about. It was fun yo watch. Thanks @Orion Bailey for having me over. Great party man. Good fucking burgers.

    Took the scumbag 10 rounds to beat a guy in his first fight hell yeah the best ever.

    Mcgregor could probably box professionally at a high level. Get that stamina up and he's good.

    Now imagine mayweather in the UFC. Lmao.

    Would have been interesting if they had a "halftime" and allow Conor to recover and be fresh the whole fight.
    Through the MMA guy a bone for crossing over completly to boxing.

    Those cards are silly. Judges giving Maywether round 2 when he was barely even fighting? McGregor never had a chance in hell to win a decision with all the money in Vegas. Not saying McGregor deserved to win overall, but who won more rounds than are on those cards.

    Autocorrect. Conor.

    What I was saying was my perfect ending to the fight would have been if Conor kicked Floyd in the nuts and got disqualified. I would have loved every bit of that.

    I love how people are coming in here trying to save face acting like Conor did such a great job. Oh he had more punches landed than so-and-so and such-and-such. The MF was punched so many times that he didn't defend himself for a full 15 seconds and the Ref had to stop it. He got knocked out. That's the end-all-be-all. So coming in here acting like he did a great job is silly because again, the MF got knocked out...

    If it was a "real fight" Mayweather would just shoot him.

    Here's the thing: Mayweather brought any criticism on himself by agreeing to fight a non-boxer for a shitload of money.

    Dude, it was his first boxing match against the best boxer in the world. Sports announcers like Max Kellerman were saying he would not land a single punch and how this fight was an absolute disgrace. Conor at least made it interesting for those of us that bought the fight. I was thoroughly entertained. I hated the Mayweather Pacman fight in contrast because it was boring af.

    The rightful person won. It was Floyds territory. Conor at least hit him over 100 times. He didn't embarass himself completely.

    Wow, you're the first person I've seen that has this view. Every commentator, even ones who said he had no shot and it would be a disgrace to boxing etc gave Conor credit for a good fight. Seriously, keep in mind he was crossing over to a new sport, taking on the boat at that.

    He simply got exhausted and couldn't punch or defend himself anymore. He should have conserved his energy more. Floyd's strategy was to tire him out and it worked.
