    Of course he can.

    And people can quite rightly highlight that online * about a man than beat you up, tapped you out, and then attacked your entire team looks just a bit weak, and ironically - incredibly bitchy in itself.

    Fighter fight. Conor talks. Wether it’s * about Khabib, calling out Japanese featherweight kickboxers, or chasing Mayweather like a jilted ex, that’s basically all he does these days. Which is unfortunate for combat sports fans that actually like the fighting element of the game. :39:

    He’s at a point he can pick and choose when and who he fights. Picking who to an extent, they obviously need to accept too.

    You’ve bought into it already by talking about it. He’s got you and many others where he wants them, talking about it and taking interest.

    You’re exactly right he can. Which is why he should pick and choose to actually fight Khabib, rather than just * about him.

    Talking about something isn’t the same as buying into it. I would watch him fight Khabib though, but in my case it’s not impacted to what he says.

    Talking about it is buying into it I’m afraid. You’re creating conversation and therefore creating publicity. Ok it’s on a tiny scale in a Celtic forum. But think about the amount of people like you saying the same thing, the media saying the same thing. It’s all relative and it gets everyone talking again. Whether you like it or not that’s Conor’s aim at the end of the day. He’s not an idiot.

    Hernandez can talk on the mic! Never expected that. However these are normally the fights when Cowboy performs best, when he doesn’t like them. When he plays friends they tend to beat him.
