has Ido EVER fought? he has such good movement, nice reflexes, seemingly good strikes.. it's a whole different animal actually fighting, but just curious if he's ever gotten in a cage/ring?

what's his damn last name ffs! it's not portal (Ido's Portal), or is it? HEH!

He was a capoeira instructor, then just wanted to branch out into other things and realized capoeira couldn't contain all these general movement ideas.

I am hearing a lot about him recently and I am wondering, what has made his so famous so quickly that he is even targetting may vs pac ppv / gate revenue records.

his confidence & skill. he's an elite striker for mma, excellent timing/counters/aggression. he's basically predicted exactly how his past ~5-6 fights would end (to the round and how they will be defeated). He's just an animal. He's also attempting something you see in boxing, dominate a division and then move up in weight, attempt to dominate a new division. He's talking about owning 155 then moving up to 170. it's crazy.. you don't see that in mma.

who would you like connor to face next, is there someone who you think may pose a threat or an opponent which would be a super fight, like may/pac in his current division or other division.

well the RDS (rafael dos santos) fight is intriguing. I am pretty excited about that fight. Conor is coming up from his 145 title, to 155.. no preparation fights. He's just going straight for the title at 155. That's ridiculous; and another reason why people love him. I'd just like to see him continue what he's doing; dominating a division then moving up in weight. If he's able to win 155, then maybe 170, and perhaps 185.. that'd be one of the craziest accomplishments in MMA history. That's what he wants to try and do soo.. real excited about Conor, he's a beast.

well, this thread may come to an end earlier than expected..

conor is retiring?

http://thebiglead.com/2016/04/19/conor-mcgregor-retirement-announcement-ufc/

if you retire after watching a fighter die in the ring, I don't expect you come back from that.. that basically means you've just had all of the fight shaken out of you.

I'm thinking maybe it's just a big middle finger to the UFC after the arguments over his choice of location for his training camp and not doing any pressers in the lead up to UFC200.
