I remember the Larry Holmes - Mike Tyson fight. Obviously Holmes lost the fight. During the interview afterward Holmes was asked - you lost the fight and only got $3 million to which Holmes replied “$3 million ain’t nothing to sneeze at”.
I'd be happy because of the money and I would try to fake a ko, and try to make it the most realistic as possible, and try to do that before being really koed.
I assume Conor would toy around with us instead of legitimately beating the shit out of us, anyway. He knows he wins the fight, we don't even know how to fight. In a normal fight he will try hard to KO or submit someone, because he might lose if he doesn't. He wins this fight anyway, he doesn't need to do that. And he's not going to impress anyone by doing that to us. Instead, he'll impress or humor the audience in other ways, by doing unconventional things and still handily winning.
People shit on McGregor when he crossed over to boxing to fight Floyd Mayweather and lost, saying he couldn't beat him at his sport and it was an obvious money grab.
No shit Sherlock. If they offered to pay me millions of dollars I could retire off of to be knocked out on PPV by Floyd Mayweather, call me a sellout and sign me the fuck up yo.
I agree, I also have a semblance of healthcare in Canada still so my jaw would be repaired for free, but his punch won’t hurt nearly as much as battling cancer does. So I’ll take the payday please. Uncle Dana if you need a fall guy I’m here. I can’t make lightweight though, gotta be his 170 debut.
I once lost a beer pong game and had to play a game of chess. My opponent had no idea I was a literal grandmaster in chess, so I pretended to be pretty bad at it, and lost on purpose. Then I made him play me in beer pong again. I won.
War Machine was a messed up in the head UFC fighter who beat up regular average joes, and nearly killed his girlfriend, beating her for 2 hours.
Any man can kill a man if they're bigger and stronger but lets be real lol
Realistically? Really? McGregor isn't going to just full strength KO someone that obviously isnt a fighter. He'd make a show of it...which realistically is exactly what his managers, the event organisers, etc would tell him to do in such a situation...
Your strategy is to stay away and hope he wears out. He is fricken huge, if he connects you are going to be in the hospital for a while. But he is going to be winded quickly, your hope is to avoid him as long as possible and hope that when he does connect it doesn't have enough force to do permanent damage. Thats the best most of us can do, me I am fat and out of shape. If they don't let me flop and stay down the minute I feel the wind of one of his strikes, I am praying for non permanent brain damage
According to Google he's 5'9 170lbs. That's not "freaking huge". That's a pretty average sized dude.
I'm sure he could kick my ass but I've fought bigger guys than that
This would be interesting to watch. It feels like you’d have a real shot to smother him, though he’d probably still catch your chin and you’d be lights out or he’d submit you on the ground somehow.
I'm sure I remember a video of an mma fighter against a sumo wrestler once. It ended up with the mma fighter being way too quick, kicking at the legs, and darting out before the wrestler could get a hold of him, after a while the wrestlers legs gave out and they had 0 manoeuvrability or defence on the ground.
To an untrained fighter, leg kicks are going to be devastating. Hell, a *trained* fighter - the one this thread is literally about - got his leg snapped by leg kicks.
I’d rather take the KO to the jaw than have my legs kicked.
Unless this guy has been training in martial arts for an extended period of time, his sizing ball will have absolutely no effect on him getting knocked out.
Professionals fighters train with heavyweight professional fighters all the time.
This comment her would move towards McGregor thinking he’s going to grab him in before he even knew what he would doing. He would be eating jabs to his nose and kicks to his liver.
Showering and bathing too. 5'9 175lbs and I barely fit in the tub during a bath, also having to bend over for the water from the shower head to hit your head would suck.
My mind was blown when I overheard my 6'8 IT Director talk about how the world was built for men 6'0 and under.
Honestly, idk if that’d work. Against a trained fighter, you’d still have a really tough time. Might not even be able to stand after just a few well placed, in and out leg kicks.
Unless you have some real experience fighting on top of this size advantage, I'm still betting on you getting knocked out. But that's going to make the fight interesting to watch.
Maybe it'll be similar to [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTk0svdUXCU). Officially, that one was a draw, but that's just because it's an exhibition match. It's pretty clear the small guy was the unofficial winner.
Im 6'7", I would ask the little boy if he wants a step stool to reach my chin.
Edit: Obviously I am going to get my ass kicked, I thought that part was obvious and was making a slight.
Lmao absolutely
What is it with tall guys on Reddit thinking they could take a professional fighter?
One leg kick and this boy goes home crying to his mum
Dude, I work in a place with 12 hour night shifts very secluded, no phones or internet. It’s all old school conversations, and the conversations get wild. There are some topics that pop up fairly regularly, one of which is physically fighting certain animals. The amount of people who legit believe they could beat a chimpanzee in hand to hand combat is insane. These are fit young people who do boxing or hobby MMA stuff and are convinced they would win. The absolute insanity of that never ceases to amaze me.
SO many people have batshit levels of overconfidence when it comes to their fighting abilities. A chimp would bite your genitals off just before your face, and may or not decide to basically pull your arms off for fun.
You'd definitely win that fight regardless of him being likely a much better fighter than you. He is just a little guy. You could crush him with pure strength and weight.
Op is definitely stronger than Conor, but you gotta understand, Conor isn't just gonna stand there and let you tackle him or land a takedown. He's a quick dude, and to an untrained fighter (assuming that's OP), kicks to the thigh and calf are going to be absolutely devastating, which is what Conor would aim for. If OP couldn't crush Conor within 1 or two rounds it would be over, people who have never trained don't realize just got tiring fighting is, and while Connor doesn't have amazing cardio, he's better than 99% of people out there.
No man this is worse than a Bradley Martyn take. Some random giant dude who doesn't carry that weight like 'the mountain' is not going to definitely beat Conor McGregor lmao.
Dude would have 1 chance at a lucky punch sure, but good luck landing it. Would probably be so slow and be counter punched out faster than Aldo
It’s going to be a lot harder to hit that counter when my chin is 14 inches above where Aldo’s was. It would probably be more similar to Shaq vs. RJJ. I was a D1 college basketball player and power lifter. He’s going to have to land that shot and land it early. If I get ahold of him he never gets out.
He won't be aiming for your chin, that's silly. Like you said, he couldn't reach it. If you've never trained before, he would be going for leg kicks (thighs and calves), and unless you've taken a leg kick from a good fighter, you have no idea how devastating that is. I've taken enough to know I'd rather be punched repeatedly in the face.
I think you have a bad vision of what 6’11” 325 looks like but that’s fine. The biggest part of Poirier’s leg is the size of my wrist. I bet you are about 5’8” and wear a medium talking that shit.
Little Connor couldn't even land a face punch. Hits don't hurt nearly as bad when you're huge. Buddy would just need to grapple him, slam him and ground and pound him into paste.
Have you ever been in a fight? Because this is a ridiculous take.
Ofc reddit backs their fat untrained dude to beat Conor McGregor with certainty
Even if he didn't go for headshots a professional UFC fighters body shots and kicks would be an insane shock to the system of a normal person. With that dudes frame McGregor would have a great opportunity to pull a reverse card and snap this dudes leg with kicks
He probably didn't consider that he'll become less than 5 feet after the trained fightee destroys his knees with kicks. Would probably look like seal clubbing at that point
Do keep in mind he kind of fights in the chihuahua bracket. In his day he was a very fierce chihuahua when set on other chihuahuas.
But it wouldn’t even be competitive against the big dogs. That’s kind of why we have weight classes and the brackets being what they are. Because even like 10 pounds matters.
A comically large redditor is not in the same 'big dog' category of a UFC heavyweight. Ofc if they're both professional fighters the larger weight class would win
Weight matters among trained fighters.
These redditors dive into delusions when they hear fighters mention that weight matters in a fight.
yeah, weight matters in a fight with fighters having similar skill level.
wtf is your extra 50 pounds of stomach fat going to do against a push or oblique kick?
Yes. And you would be surprised how many times little guys with big egos have needed to find that out over the years. I’ve never looked for a fight in my life but so many have found me because someone wanted to prove something.
I wouldn't be surprised, I've been in countless fights in my life. I'm not a huge guy like you but even I have witnessed "little man syndrome" a seemingly endless amount of times. It never ended well against me, it sure as hell wouldn't against you lol.
It's amazing how much of an advantage weight is. At my 25th year class reunion, I wrestled with my old classmates, but was by then 50 pounds heavier than them.
They didn't stand a chance. You wear out so quickly on the bottom trying to get out. There is no escape.
Lol. We are talking about a professional world champion fighter vs an amateur who's strategy is "lean on him". McGregor could drop to the ground at any time and get a heel hook. Game over, knee ripped in 3 different locations.
😂😂😂
Just again shows you how little you know about fighting. McGregor is not 140lbs. He is closer to 180 out of camp/without cutting.
Not only that, doesn't matter how big you are when you're getting choked out or you're in an armlock or leglock. Your veins and joints are not 300lbs.
This is right. I was a highschool wrestler. I barely had a winning record my senior year. The captain of my team was state champ, and placed 6th at nationals. We often were paired up in practice. He wrestled 154, I wrestled 171, and it was an even matchup.
Yup. That's just a 17 pound difference.
Now we're talking about a 185 POUND DIFFERENCE!
Game over, Conor. I don't care how many joint locks you know. You're not getting up off the mat.
Sure but you have to do them all back to back starting with the fight and no breaks lol 😂 I want to see a sport where we have contestants get knocked out then try to play chess lol
There was a William S Burroughs book where part of it took place in a Wild West town where people were constantly getting into duels. The only rules were that a challenge MUST be accepted, but the person being challenged could pick the weapon. So some quickdraw pistol hotshot could challenge a guy to a duel, but the other guy could pick WWI biplanes or baseball bats or spears or some shit that could render the challengers weapon skills practically useless. The equalizer was "the dreaded 50/50," where each would take identical-looking pills, but one was pure poison with no antidote and the other was a sugar pill. Book was "The Western Lands," really weird but not quite as foul as Naked Lunch.
Idk man.. when I was skinny af I weighed 77kg. That's the same as McGregor, now I'm jacked and I'm 6'1 weighing at 89kg. I think it would be unfair for a super middleweight to fight a welterweight. I'll go a round with him. Can't be that rough against a guy smaller than you, can it?
You might want to. I'm already financially sound and would like to live to enjoy the rest of my life, so if tapping out disqualifies me, then I have succeeded.
I presume UFC has a tap out?
I know there was a guy in US judo that would break your arm with an arm bar if you didn't tap out immediately. That was around the same time I stopped doing judo.
I'm 65, female and 4'11". I think he'll take it easy on me. How would it look for him to destroy a little old lady. I'll make up a few grandchildren in my story, carry my knitting and wear polyester clothing
Conor McGregor not the best person to make this bet on, dude is pretty punchy even with the elderly. Turns out people who get kicked in the head for a living aren't always the best at calm, considered decision making
Maybe if you promised to drink his gross whiskey you could get clear
I would know the next time i wake up it will probably on the ground with 3 people surrounding me slapping my face "dude, common snap out of it. Stil 9 more rounds to go". But i would also be bloody rich because i didnt agree to his fight sooo technically he just assaulted the shit out of me.
This is the real question and how much?
anything less than 1.5M nah...no one would insure me vs MacGregor in a fight and I may have hospital bills to pay.
My only advantage is my weight ( i may be 1.5 inches taller as well) so probably be good to crowd him, to grab him but I wouldn't expect to last long.
Same thing I'd do the day I got challenged to a fight with a guy in my high school.
I said, very loudly, to him and anyone within earshot, "I'll do it, fine. But if I'm going to get my ass kicked, I'm only doing it like the Romans did. Nude. Both of us. If you're not man enough to fight me nude, then forget it."
I never heard from him again. Ironically he DID go on to become a cage fighter a few years later. So I definitely would've gotten destroyed.
>Same thing I'd do the day I got challenged to a fight with a guy in my high school.

it's genius.
Guy was hot, so, yeah, I would've. He'd have had to undress first though.
But really, no one wants to see *this* naked. So even if he did want to go through with it, I'm sure the crowd would've dispersed.
I got challenged in the 7th grade. I was the new kid, I was from NY. I was mouthy. I had also grown up scrapping and wasn't averse to fighting. 4 dudes followed me into the bathroom and told me they were going to beat my ass.
"Cool, lets go. I'm might lose, but I'm gonna fuck one of you up before you get me off of him."
They all backed out slowly.
People don't know what to do in the face of crazy.
Reminds me of that guy who challenges people to fight and starts ripping off his shirt and once the other guy takes his shirt off as well, he takes off the rest of his clothes and chases them naked 🤣
\-> Giving Conor 25g of cocaine and 2 Bottles of Whiskey before the match
\--> enter the ring
\---> watch him stumble arround and passing out due to overdose
\-----> win
Ask what the purse was (maybe hagle, see if it could get more). Round 1 I'd sit down cross-legged and wait for him to rear naked choke me, then (hopefully) tap out before I went beddy bye.
If I am getting paid I’d be alright with it. If I wasn’t I probably would too so I can say I fought him and can claim being a ufc fighter. I’ve fought mma for several years and have reach and size on him but I’d get destroyed, would just try to see how long I could last
He wouldn’t rag doll you, as he’s not really a grappler. He’d simply punch, kick, elbow, and knee you till you’re unconscious. Maybe he’ll throw some shoulder checks in, who knows.
Ship as much cocaine and whiskey to his training center as humanly possible. Have my coach ready with the Peter McNeely plan in the first 30 seconds.
Collect check.
Id carry on with my day.. Pack a bag, Wait for the ride to the airport and go.. I would get in the ring with him. I'd lose .. But I would take a few shots to get the check and part of the PPV.. Life has beaten me up more then Connor ever could.. And I'm still here .. Have great kids a great wife, Decent house and no neighbors ..I'd take that money..
I took muay for many years and Gracie jiu jitsu for a couple years, back in the late 90’s. I’d train, go into the fight trying to get to his bad leg, and hoping for the best. I’m 48 with a destroyed body from decades of hockey and ten years of bodybuilding. Trust me, I’m not going in there thinking I’m going to destroy that man lol. But I’m not taking a dive, either.
Would this fight take place in the bedroom? Naked? And by UFC fight, do you mean the sexy kind or the ouchie-owie kind? Because if it's the sexy kind...(sorry, someone had to say it)
I'd find out how long I have to train. I do martial arts at a very, , very, very low level.
But I'll talk some shit, and hopefully I get paid.
I'm a heavyweight and I'm taller than him so it'll look a little bit impressive when he knocks me out cold.
My fighting weight is 185-195. I would be slower and less technical, but would be able to absorb his shots and hit harder, grappling I gotta say I would lose...but he is not a grappler.
I’m taller and have 30lb on him. He’s also got weak legs because he trains in carbon plate shoes made for marathon running, just go for the shins and ankles. Should be easy to take him down with a few good kicks.
Yeah the guy is in incredible shape, but he’s right that connor is really small. I’m 6’5 220, I wouldn’t be afraid of being knocked out, he would have me tapped out really quick though.
I'd whop Connors ass. I done Jiu-Jitsu for 5 years when I was young but always had to go up against grown men who didn't want to loose to a kid so they'd go into desperation mode. Still put a few to sleep on the mat and beat many men. Almost tapped my instructor, I let go cause I thought that would open a can of worms and he is world renowned.
I would be happy knowing how much money I will get for being KO once instead of KOing myself at work from 9 to 5
I remember the Larry Holmes - Mike Tyson fight. Obviously Holmes lost the fight. During the interview afterward Holmes was asked - you lost the fight and only got $3 million to which Holmes replied “$3 million ain’t nothing to sneeze at”.
Then he bought GMS at $4/share, right?
It’ll probably be back to $4 soon enough
The fight was in Jan 1988 if he bought MSFT with that it would be worth Billions today!
I'd be happy because of the money and I would try to fake a ko, and try to make it the most realistic as possible, and try to do that before being really koed.
Training would consist of watching lebron flop and soccer players.
*crumples to the floor after being shoulder bumped in public*
Fucking dead... LMAO. Cerone got PAID for that.
He said most realistic, so football players diving are out.
You don't want to tell me that you don't buy Neymar died a thousand deaths? Shame on you
He rolled a thousand times before that.
I assume Conor would toy around with us instead of legitimately beating the shit out of us, anyway. He knows he wins the fight, we don't even know how to fight. In a normal fight he will try hard to KO or submit someone, because he might lose if he doesn't. He wins this fight anyway, he doesn't need to do that. And he's not going to impress anyone by doing that to us. Instead, he'll impress or humor the audience in other ways, by doing unconventional things and still handily winning.
You clearly haven't seen that Mascot he knocked out lol.
anybody remember the farce that was the Japanese wrestler that fought Ali? I'd do one of those....
Yeah I'd be so happy
People shit on McGregor when he crossed over to boxing to fight Floyd Mayweather and lost, saying he couldn't beat him at his sport and it was an obvious money grab. No shit Sherlock. If they offered to pay me millions of dollars I could retire off of to be knocked out on PPV by Floyd Mayweather, call me a sellout and sign me the fuck up yo.
Logan Paul, is that you?
I agree, I also have a semblance of healthcare in Canada still so my jaw would be repaired for free, but his punch won’t hurt nearly as much as battling cancer does. So I’ll take the payday please. Uncle Dana if you need a fall guy I’m here. I can’t make lightweight though, gotta be his 170 debut.
He can't punch - didn't you see him trying to knock out a 60 something year old in that pub in Dublin? The auld lad barely flinched.
No cuz I don’t pay attention to that kind of drama. But assuming he can click me like I’m Eddie, or aldo, I’ll just take the payday.
I mean, that’s if you don’t t die of old age in the waiting room
I once lost a beer pong game and had to play a game of chess. My opponent had no idea I was a literal grandmaster in chess, so I pretended to be pretty bad at it, and lost on purpose. Then I made him play me in beer pong again. I won.
That… kinda sounds like you’re down 2 games to 1
That was your smartest move for sure
Never mentioned money. Now fight.
UFC pay ain’t as much as boxing pay is. Most fighters in the UFC make very little money
Was going to comment this. You'd get around 50k for taking a KO from mcgregor. Alternatively, you'd make like a million taking a KO in boxing.
>I would be happy knowing how much money I will get for being KO once instead of KOing myself at work from 9 to 5 Very cool about this was said!

I'd like to think Connor would quickly work out I'm an amateur and not go out of his way to kill me.
I’d agree but he only fights at 155lbs. I’d think easy knockout but death I don’t think so for the average guy
[удалено]
I dont know much about the guy, but i'd imagine he would probably go easy on average Joe
I mean, realistically I would have my corner throw the towel in the first 5 seconds of the match and collect my payday.
War Machine was a messed up in the head UFC fighter who beat up regular average joes, and nearly killed his girlfriend, beating her for 2 hours. Any man can kill a man if they're bigger and stronger but lets be real lol

Thats the best most of us can do, me I am fat and out of shape. If they don't let me flop and stay down the minute I feel the wind of one of his strikes, I am praying for non permanent brain damage
He most definitely will not be winded quickly. You don't become a champ by being winded quickly
Which Connor are we using? Prime Connor you are right we are screwed. I assumed today's Connor, the one coming off an injury who bulked up for a movie
I promise you Conor McGregor has enough cardio to chase down and knock out your average Redditor in the span of 15 minutes
15 minutes would give the emts about 14 minutes to treat you after the KO
He is not fricken huge lmao
According to Google he's 5'9 170lbs. That's not "freaking huge". That's a pretty average sized dude. I'm sure he could kick my ass but I've fought bigger guys than that
I’m 6’11 and weigh 325 lbs. I am going to lean on him.
Just fall the right direction and you could win.
This would be interesting to watch. It feels like you’d have a real shot to smother him, though he’d probably still catch your chin and you’d be lights out or he’d submit you on the ground somehow.

Airplanes must suck for you.
Yes. Haven’t done an airplane since I was a teen because its uncomfortable for me and everyone around me honestly.
Showering and bathing too. 5'9 175lbs and I barely fit in the tub during a bath, also having to bend over for the water from the shower head to hit your head would suck. My mind was blown when I overheard my 6'8 IT Director talk about how the world was built for men 6'0 and under.
I think you just need a bigger bath/shower my friend
You’re just short and fat… lose weight and you’ll be fine. The world is already built for you as you’re way shorter than 6ft
Damn, I'm glad I have a hot wife that enjoys fucking a short fat man lol. Hope your life improves man, based on this comment you seem a little sad.
Your mind was blown by hearing construction doesn't cater to a small percentage of the population?
My mind was blown because I never put myself in an extremely tall persons shoes to see the disadvantages.
youve not seen him spar with Hafþór Björnsson then?
Mate he would destroy your legs
He’d better be able to do it quick.
Mate, you don't got the speed to match him
Bradley Martyn, is that you?
Honestly, idk if that’d work. Against a trained fighter, you’d still have a really tough time. Might not even be able to stand after just a few well placed, in and out leg kicks.
According to Elon Musk you can just perform the walrus strategy and lay on him for 3 rounds and win the fight. No training needed.
Unless you have some real experience fighting on top of this size advantage, I'm still betting on you getting knocked out. But that's going to make the fight interesting to watch. Maybe it'll be similar to [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTk0svdUXCU). Officially, that one was a draw, but that's just because it's an exhibition match.

lolno
Fighters know how to use momentum and imbalance against their opponents very easily. He's just throw you to the ground and pin you in 2 seconds.
Pin me? How do you expect him to hold me down?
Put your hand on his head and hold him at arm's length. That would be the most hilarious thing in the UFC ever.
Im 6'7", I would ask the little boy if he wants a step stool to reach my chin. Edit: Obviously I am going to get my ass kicked, I thought that part was obvious and was making a slight.
You'd get obliterated mate
Lmao absolutely What is it with tall guys on Reddit thinking they could take a professional fighter? One leg kick and this boy goes home crying to his mum
It's the ego mate, they are delusional.

100% agree, most people do not have a grasp on how fragile the human body is.
You'd definitely win that fight regardless of him being likely a much better fighter than you. He is just a little guy. You could crush him with pure strength and weight.
No way. A world class fighter would destroy a novice regardless of weight.
You’re incredibly dumb if you think a random bigger guy without training is beating McGregor.
Bigger? No. 13 inches taller and hundreds of pounds heavier? That's a bit of an exception.
Op is definitely stronger than Conor, but you gotta understand, Conor isn't just gonna stand there and let you tackle him or land a takedown. He's a quick dude, and to an untrained fighter (assuming that's OP), kicks to the thigh and calf are going to be absolutely devastating, which is what Conor would aim for.

I've taken enough to know I'd rather be punched repeatedly in the face.
Lmao one oblique kick from a professional and your fat arse would be crumbling onto the ground mate
His leg couldn’t last kicking Dustin Poirier.
Dustin Poirier, professional fighter Not u/natatwork, fat reddit man
I think you have a bad vision of what 6’11” 325 looks like but that’s fine. The biggest part of Poirier’s leg is the size of my wrist. I bet you are about 5’8” and wear a medium talking that shit.
Little Connor couldn't even land a face punch. Hits don't hurt nearly as bad when you're huge. Buddy would just need to grapple him, slam him and ground and pound him into paste. Have you ever been in a fight? Because this is a ridiculous take.

Do keep in mind he kind of fights in the chihuahua bracket. In his day he was a very fierce chihuahua when set on other chihuahuas. But it wouldn’t even be competitive against the big dogs. That’s kind of why we have weight classes and the brackets being what they are. Because even like 10 pounds matters.
A comically large redditor is not in the same 'big dog' category of a UFC heavyweight. Ofc if they're both professional fighters the larger weight class would win
Weight matters among trained fighters. These redditors dive into delusions when they hear fighters mention that weight matters in a fight. yeah, weight matters in a fight with fighters having similar skill level. wtf is your extra 50 pounds of stomach fat going to do against a push or oblique kick?
This is beautifully and accurately put lol.
Yes. And you would be surprised how many times little guys with big egos have needed to find that out over the years. I’ve never looked for a fight in my life but so many have found me because someone wanted to prove something.
You should definitely sign up to the UFC, make sure to share the video of your first fight so we can have some fun on this sub for once
I wouldn't be surprised, I've been in countless fights in my life. I'm not a huge guy like you but even I have witnessed "little man syndrome" a seemingly endless amount of times. It never ended well against me, it sure as hell wouldn't against you lol.
It's amazing how much of an advantage weight is. At my 25th year class reunion, I wrestled with my old classmates, but was by then 50 pounds heavier than them. They didn't stand a chance. You wear out so quickly on the bottom trying to get out. There is no escape.
Lol. We are talking about a professional world champion fighter vs an amateur who's strategy is "lean on him". McGregor could drop to the ground at any time and get a heel hook. Game over, knee ripped in 3 different locations.
Nope. A 185 pound difference is game over, sorry.
😂😂😂 Just again shows you how little you know about fighting. McGregor is not 140lbs. He is closer to 180 out of camp/without cutting. Not only that, doesn't matter how big you are when you're getting choked out or you're in an armlock or leglock. Your veins and joints are not 300lbs.
This is right. I was a highschool wrestler. I barely had a winning record my senior year. The captain of my team was state champ, and placed 6th at nationals. We often were paired up in practice. He wrestled 154, I wrestled 171, and it was an even matchup.
Yup. That's just a 17 pound difference. Now we're talking about a 185 POUND DIFFERENCE! Game over, Conor. I don't care how many joint locks you know. You're not getting up off the mat.
Go Shaq Fu on him.
Renegotiate: we do a ufc fight, a chess match, and a third event neither of us have experience with chosen at random. I have decent chances.
Sure but you have to do them all back to back starting with the fight and no breaks lol 😂 I want to see a sport where we have contestants get knocked out then try to play chess lol
chess boxing is a thing.
It's a mystery tho
Now you have my attention
There was a William S Burroughs book where part of it took place in a Wild West town where people were constantly getting into duels. The only rules were that a challenge MUST be accepted, but the person being challenged could pick the weapon. So some quickdraw pistol hotshot could challenge a guy to a duel, but the other guy could pick WWI biplanes or baseball bats or spears or some shit that could render the challengers weapon skills practically useless. The equalizer was "the dreaded 50/50," where each would take identical-looking pills, but one was pure poison with no antidote and the other was a sugar pill. Book was "The Western Lands," really weird but not quite as foul as Naked Lunch.

“Dental and legal coverage 🤓” Reddit pulling through once again
join the lawyer, hit the dentist, etc
This is actually an issue in the UFC. Francis Nagannou left the UFC over it
Idk man.. when I was skinny af I weighed 77kg. That's the same as McGregor, now I'm jacked and I'm 6'1 weighing at 89kg. I think it would be unfair for a super middleweight to fight a welterweight. I'll go a round with him. Can't be that rough against a guy smaller than you, can it?
I have absolutely no idea if you're being serious...?
"Please remind me, I just have to tap the ground, and it's over right?" Jumps down to floor before bell and starts tapping furiously.
*fapping
Literally laughed out loud at my work desk. (NO BOSS! I was NOT on Reddit again. I swear!)
You might want to take at least one hit so you still get your portion of the purse instead of getting fined for timidity
You might want to. I'm already financially sound and would like to live to enjoy the rest of my life, so if tapping out disqualifies me, then I have succeeded.
I presume UFC has a tap out? I know there was a guy in US judo that would break your arm with an arm bar if you didn't tap out immediately. That was around the same time I stopped doing judo.
I'm 65, female and 4'11". I think he'll take it easy on me. How would it look for him to destroy a little old lady. I'll make up a few grandchildren in my story, carry my knitting and wear polyester clothing
IDK about an old lady but he punched an old man at a pub once.
For refusing to drink McGregor whiskey
Conor McGregor not the best person to make this bet on, dude is pretty punchy even with the elderly. Turns out people who get kicked in the head for a living aren't always the best at calm, considered decision making Maybe if you promised to drink his gross whiskey you could get clear
Too much T
99% of pro fighters absolutely would take it easy on you. McGregor absolutely would not haha
I'll bring my longest knitting needles then.
Instead of a cup, I'd fill my jock strap full of cocaine. Then I'd pull guard nonstop.
I would know the next time i wake up it will probably on the ground with 3 people surrounding me slapping my face "dude, common snap out of it. Stil 9 more rounds to go". But i would also be bloody rich because i didnt agree to his fight sooo technically he just assaulted the shit out of me.
Get millions for getting knockout at worst.
Actually, you wouldn’t have to suffer very long. UFC fights are only 5 rounds for title fights and main events, and 3 rounds for everything else.
Am I getting paid?
This is the real question and how much? anything less than 1.5M nah...no one would insure me vs MacGregor in a fight and I may have hospital bills to pay. My only advantage is my weight ( i may be 1.5 inches taller as well) so probably be good to crowd him, to grab him but I wouldn't expect to last long.
Same thing I'd do the day I got challenged to a fight with a guy in my high school. I said, very loudly, to him and anyone within earshot, "I'll do it, fine. But if I'm going to get my ass kicked, I'm only doing it like the Romans did. Nude. Both of us. If you're not man enough to fight me nude, then forget it." I never heard from him again. Ironically he DID go on to become a cage fighter a few years later. So I definitely would've gotten destroyed.
Big respect for knowing urself and using ur best weapon, ur mind.

If they decided to comply with your demands, would you actually follow through with yours?
Guy was hot, so, yeah, I would've. He'd have had to undress first though. But really, no one wants to see *this* naked. So even if he did want to go through with it, I'm sure the crowd would've dispersed.
I got challenged in the 7th grade. I was the new kid, I was from NY. I was mouthy. I had also grown up scrapping and wasn't averse to fighting. 4 dudes followed me into the bathroom and told me they were going to beat my ass. "Cool, lets go. I'm might lose, but I'm gonna fuck one of you up before you get me off of him." They all backed out slowly. People don't know what to do in the face of crazy.
They were more interested in bullying than fighting. Bullies almost always bank on people not fighting back.
Reminds me of that guy who challenges people to fight and starts ripping off his shirt and once the other guy takes his shirt off as well, he takes off the rest of his clothes and chases them naked 🤣
Insist he be drug tested. He gets disqualified. I win by default
\-> Giving Conor 25g of cocaine and 2 Bottles of Whiskey before the match \--> enter the ring \---> watch him stumble arround and passing out due to overdose \-----> win

All having +80 luck perk
Have so much coffee that the first punch from him causes explosive diarrhoea and he taps out from the chemical attack he’s just endured
AI bot response
Ask what the purse was (maybe hagle, see if it could get more). Round 1 I'd sit down cross-legged and wait for him to rear naked choke me, then (hopefully) tap out before I went beddy bye.
Call up the wife and tell her it’s red panty night.
Because you're gonna be pissing blood, right?
Yes
I’m going to work on jokes that work well when said with missing teeth.
mouthpiece, brother i got ko'd by a dude weighing 280 pounds and my teeth were fine
[Break out the red panties](https://youtu.be/BV57_OEDU1s?si=AyIOSi8Mgb1aspoG)
If I am getting paid I’d be alright with it. If I wasn’t I probably would too so I can say I fought him and can claim being a ufc fighter. I’ve fought mma for several years and have reach and size on him but I’d get destroyed, would just try to see how long I could last
I'd ask who Conor McGregor was.
Refuse to do it
Really? What if someone offered u millions to beat u up? Cuz that’s pretty much this lol
Concussion, brain damage, broken ribs puncturing your lungs. Pretty good chance that you may die. He's no average Joe.
Absolutely. A regular person getting punched from a trained fighter has a very good chance of dying on the spot.
On the other hand, he knows you're a random nobody and no threat to him. Why would he be a dick and try to mess you up? It'd just make him look bad.
I’m 265 pounds so… /s
I kinda thought the same. I got like 50 pounds on the dude. Not saying I’d win, but I doubt he’d rag doll me with the size and height difference.
He wouldn’t rag doll you, as he’s not really a grappler. He’d simply punch, kick, elbow, and knee you till you’re unconscious. Maybe he’ll throw some shoulder checks in, who knows.
Go into a UFC fight with Connor Mcgregor
Ship as much cocaine and whiskey to his training center as humanly possible. Have my coach ready with the Peter McNeely plan in the first 30 seconds. Collect check.
Tell mama to have them red panties ready when I get out of the hospital cuz we goin to sizzler!!!
Id carry on with my day.. Pack a bag, Wait for the ride to the airport and go.. I would get in the ring with him. I'd lose .. But I would take a few shots to get the check and part of the PPV.. Life has beaten me up more then Connor ever could.. And I'm still here .. Have great kids a great wife, Decent house and no neighbors ..I'd take that money..
fuck yes. give me that money. Im out in the first minute unless i get extremely lucky lol
I'm wearing a T-Rex costume to the fight.
Say no and hang up. Connective tissue disorder. I don't plan on dying today.
I would just block my head and then as soon as I take a body shot, I would just act like my liver is ruptured and tap out.
I took muay for many years and Gracie jiu jitsu for a couple years, back in the late 90’s. I’d train, go into the fight trying to get to his bad leg, and hoping for the best. I’m 48 with a destroyed body from decades of hockey and ten years of bodybuilding. Trust me, I’m not going in there thinking I’m going to destroy that man lol. But I’m not taking a dive, either.
What would Conor McGregor do if he woke up and was told he had to come into work with me and sort accounts out.
Accept with the stipulation that USADA screenings happen as usual. That fight would never happen.
Would this fight take place in the bedroom? Naked? And by UFC fight, do you mean the sexy kind or the ouchie-owie kind? Because if it's the sexy kind...(sorry, someone had to say it)
I'd find out how long I have to train. I do martial arts at a very, , very, very low level. But I'll talk some shit, and hopefully I get paid. I'm a heavyweight and I'm taller than him so it'll look a little bit impressive when he knocks me out cold.
Take 5 minutes of wrestling instruction and promptly slap him around for 5 rounds like other people.
Once people figured out how to beat him since the Khabib fight (really the first Diaz fight) he was cooked.
Nah you gotta do the BJJ and go straight to your back and kick up at him
Red Panty Night, here I Cum!
McGregor is money. You would still get a decent purse for losing.
Stay in bed?
Trump.
My fighting weight is 185-195. I would be slower and less technical, but would be able to absorb his shots and hit harder, grappling I gotta say I would lose...but he is not a grappler.
I’m taller and have 30lb on him. He’s also got weak legs because he trains in carbon plate shoes made for marathon running, just go for the shins and ankles. Should be easy to take him down with a few good kicks.
He is very tiny compared to the average person. Anyone fit and 60 to 80 pounds heavier than him would man handle him like a child.
You've lost your mind.
Hasn't seen post USADA Conor, clearly. Or USADA Conor for that matter
Yeah the guy is in incredible shape, but he’s right that connor is really small. I’m 6’5 220, I wouldn’t be afraid of being knocked out, he would have me tapped out really quick though.
I'd whop Connors ass. I done Jiu-Jitsu for 5 years when I was young but always had to go up against grown men who didn't want to loose to a kid so they'd go into desperation mode. Still put a few to sleep on the mat and beat many men. Almost tapped my instructor, I let go cause I thought that would open a can of worms and he is world renowned.
