Wouldn't holidays be a perfect time for a trip?

Cowboy is going to KO Conor with a headkick in the first 20 seconds. I mean nah but saying it just in case.

As much as a douche I think Connor is or has been this version of him is pretty boring.

It’s a no win situation trashing Cowboy, he’s extremely well liked and he’s pretty classy and offered a lot of praise to Conor. If you start trashing him you look phoney.
He needs to save the venom.
Certain fighters you can’t run the conor schtick with or you end up being Colby.
Cowboy, Lawler, GSP to name three.

Their promotion has done them zero favours, it is Thursday evening and I am not hyped at all, which is super surprising considering the long lay off between events.

I don’t need fake beef, but I also can’t stand fake kindness all done for publicity. Both these guys are proven scum bags outside the octagon.

It’s funny how much crap Cowboy gave Ariel, when Ariel was exactly right. No one wanted to see fake, let’s drink beer and whiskey, oh thanks for the opportunity, cowboy.

Why should I feel invested in a fight when it seems like cowboy is just showing up for his big pay day.

This non chalant cowboy stuff is super annoying when it comes to competing, it’s no wonder he never wins his big fights, he never game plans and always wants to appease fans who are quick to forget.

Ironically, that’s why saying you want to keep it standing so you can entertain the fans does the complete opposite in appealing to me, you’re just going out there to lose at this point.

Don’t even bother placing a bet on Cowboy, put your money on the Australian wildfires, this guy lost before it even started.


I don’t expect Cowboy to win. His biggest weakness, being a slow starter, plays into Conor’s biggest strength, delivering a fast KO.

However, I would say Cowboy has done a good job of game planning and using his wrestling, like in his 3rd fight against Bendo. Now that was 5 years ago, but it’s also been a while since Conor has fought.

My point is I don’t expect Cowboy to win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he uses his wrestling in this fight, and I wouldn’t be shocked if he won.

I guess people usually don’t go on vacation in January because they usually take a lot of days off work for Xmas/New Years.

Also, don’t we usually get hyped for Showtime fights? I know he’s past his prime, but he’s a fan favorite on this board. I want to be more excited.
