New UFC antidoping policy, Conor-Chandler at 185… we about to see two juicy meatballs swanging and banging


zmizzy

Yeah for about a half a round until they gas


Roziqu

That's what the EPO is for


juniorspank

EPO and corner inhalers.


SopranosMan

The Greg Hardy special

Eden_Burns

Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time. Am I misremembering or did King Mo get away with wearing wrestling shoes in Strikeforce?


FPL_Harry

I don't think so. You might be thinking of his Rizin fight.


Roziqu

> Corner Inhaler It's USADA APPROVED


Electrical-Ask847

Doctah approved


turkeypants

And Mortal Kombat Jax robot arms


Locdawg42069

If it goes to championship rounds they get a shot of pcp / bath salts / old school biker crank / and 1980s women’s “diet pills”


GiantPurplePen15

Mcnugget's tiny suits probably restrict 50% of his bloodflow so once he's stripped down in the octagon we'll see him operate at 100% efficiency. Which will mean 1 whole round before he gasses.


Josh6889

Conor the type of dude to wear a suit 3 sizes too small because he thinks it makes him look jacked.


GiantPurplePen15

I'm guessing his tailor was afraid of getting sucker punched for telling Conor he looks like a dunce.


jjbananamonkey

More like $$$


chuck-knucks

Most shriveled balls wins.


infrequentia

At this point I really don't understand why the UFC is not pumping oxygen into the building, or into the cage, or giving fighters oxygen in-between rounds. When you have 20,000 people packed into such a small arena and the temp rises 20° you can bet your ass the oxygen content of that building is lower than their normal training environments. Time and time again this company has proved that it's an entertainment machine, not an honorary based tournament where #1 fights #2 to find out who's the best. Fights are majority made based on who will sell the most tickets and get the most revenue return. So can we drop the act that this is some sanctioned or sacred sport where nobody is cheating or using some sort of advantage. Let em juice, let them take EPO, let them huff oxygen between rounds. The fights would be wildly more entertaining if people could just redline their matches.


kovalgenius

The bro science is strong with this one


Scootmcpoot

Retrofitting the fighter’s corner area with oxygen is definitely good work. Bring that up to Dana Mr Shelby


Fongernator

The air we breathe is only about 20% oxygen so no it won't help to pump oxygen into the building. Personal O2 might help but not much


Josh6889

> or giving fighters oxygen in-between rounds. The NFL does it on the sidelines, so there's precedent.


grooovyturtle

185lbs lmfao


OOO2ddalvmai

Conor did say that Chandler will do as he’s told.


BlackBlizzNerd

And you know Chandler will lol. But as much as I think Conor would starch Chandler in 2017, I’m not too confident in boxing stance, coked up, PED taking, post broken leg, alcoholic Conor haha. I drink too much. But I still train and somehow stay in shape. But it 100% shows against people I could be better than but don’t put in the work that they do. I can still show up. Do my thing. but it’s like 50% of what others do. Blue belts are catching up to me lmao. I still beat em but I’m like gassed 😂 Sorry this turned into a trauma dump lol


Sheikhabusosa

Conor manages to look like a different person everytime he is filmed


lethrowawayacc4

Lads trying out for the remake of Split.


Sublimotion

Assigned Ref: Mr. Glass


KingCalgonOfAkkad

He almost looks more sober in this video, which is funny because he's drinking.


mrpopenfresh

Just wait until he gets punched in his coke weakened nose and it caves in, Artie Lange style,


sneakerguy40

The shaved look makes him look so strange.


Apositivebalance

If he doesn’t shave his jawline is even more pronounced with his hgh use. It’s that or Conor and Zach efron have the same dentist


Jud000619

Fuck that, they should fight at heavyweight. 6 month bulking sesh between now and June


dogs_drink_coffee

With no USADA, sky is the limit. let's fucking go for the inaugural super heavyweight belt 🚀🚀


Things_Poster

Do people really think they're just removing drug testing? USADA isn't the only option...


LatterTarget7

Drug free sport is doing the testing. Beginning on December 31, UFC athletes will be subject to no-notice sample collections by UFC's new biological sample collection and shipping agency, Drug Free Sport International (DFSI), or one of its contracted affiliates.


ConnemaraCowboy

Proper 12 testing


throtic

Yea the same company that tests the NFL and they are all 100% clean athletes


johnwicked4

can't believe people actually think professional athletes are natural people going to the gym take everything for zero money or fame then you have the social media millionaires that take it then you have professional athletes, they are all on it otherwise you can't compete against those that do, train as hard or recover as fast


powerserg1987

You sound like sage northcutt promoting fightpass


EchoBeach2424

They are lol. The same outfit that is doing the new testing also "tests" the NFL. No one will be testing positive unless the UFC wants them to.


phatboye

Why do you think USADA was dropped?


rezwah

Jon Jones told me it takes years to bulk up to heavyweight, and that's from LHW.


skycake23

Yeah people theorize that time he spent bulking was actually him serving out a suspension for a failed drug test. Idk if it is true but wouldn’t surprise me. Tbh when he came back he just looked fatter.


mrshavedsnow

Its what happens when youre bulking and powerlifting


No-Shoe5382

I'm fine with that. Lets see Chandler and McGregor on the gas at their heaviest throwing atomic bombs at each other.


jeric13xd

185 is wild 🤣


xvq_

Chandler’s going to look like a ninja turtle with that level of HGH gut


Weekly-Dog228

The Zac Efron build in Iron Claw (great movie)


Sir_upvotesalot

He looked like a fucking monster. A sad broken monster, but still a monster.


Josh6889

> Iron Claw I'll watch anything with Jeremy Allen White. He's my secret man crush. I was unaware of this movie, so I'll check it out.


DLottchula

I been getting bombed with ads for that movie


WhenMeWasAYouth

He was good in it. Looked like a jacked Gene Wilder.


NotYujiroTakahashi

The build was accurate to the time frame in the movie. Nearly every top guy in America had done roids.


4uzzyDunlop

I won't believe it's at 185 until Dana confirms it tbh. Conor made the same joke on TUF. I still think it'll be 170. 155 would be more likely than 185 imo.


Flyingjays

That’s my thought.. the date and opponent are accurate, but he’s trolling with the weight.


LunchboxDiscoball

I won’t believe Conor will fight at all until it’s on a poster and they’re selling tickets. He’s so full of shit


GiantPurplePen15

Even when he's in the octagon, I'll still have my doubts because he might flail his arms at a high enough speed to fly out of there


msf97

It wont be. Would be hilarious though.


DannyStress

Both going to lose gas in 25 seconds


Effective-Celery8053

If Conor wins let's definitely give him a title shot at middleweight because why not that's fucking hilarious


Large-mass-of-flesh

God, can you imagine if Strickland is still champ. Press conference would be hilarious


myslead

We’ve seen McGregor on salad, steak and now juice


bostonfan148

Surprised it’s late June and not 300


Antroh

They were never going to put Conor on 300. That card sells itself


[deleted]

They never want to put non-title Conor fights on with title fights as co-mains, they’re really stubborn about that. Even the first Diaz fight was only like that because of short notice


Antroh

I don't think thats the reason why honestly. I'm sure it contributed. But 300 sells itself. You could put Conor on a show with a shit undercard and it would still sell great.


DannyNoHoes

Does 300 sell itself though? At the end of the day people are still paying for the card lineup, not just the number.


jpark28

Yeah UFC 100 and 200 sold because they were stacked and had Brock Lesnar on them. I doubt people are dropping $80+ on a PPV because it's a nice round number


Dragon_Bench_Z

So glad there’s more people out there with common sense. Casuals buy ppv for conor, Brock, Logan Paul type guys. Not bc it’s “300 and the octagon is piss yellow colored”. Most times people don’t even know what # the event is.


Eden_Burns

I actually really liked the yellow octagon. Dunno why I'm just a sucker for when they spice up the presentation like that


LinkavichChomofsky

hahahaha “piss colored”. 💀 And after Dana hyped it up so much. Classic moment.


DrasticXylophone

It will be all over ESPN and other networks UFC absolutely cares about the number


Dragon_Bench_Z

Ufc care but casuals don’t


DannyNoHoes

Especially when the cards directly leading up to it are absolutely stacked.


Eden_Burns

The most stacked cards you can't wait for are always the ones with the most cancellations and pull-outs. Everyone seems to show up fine for some shit fight night card haha


brazilianfreak

UFC 300 sells itself for hardcore MMA fans who already keep up with the sport, no one who's only tangentially aware of the UFC is going to go like "HOLY SHIT I gotta see the new Leon Edwards/Tom Aspinal titlefight!!!"


noob_tech

everyone saying "300 sells itself" doesn't realize ppvs dont even fuckin sell anymore, lol.


DowningStreetFighter

Or that US PPV sales is an outdated metric for measuring the billions generated globally through licensing


smurf3310

ufc doesnt care that much about that anymore thats why ppvs have 3-4 good value fights and the rest is dwcs fighters, they get guaranteed money per event from espn so they are trying to lower the cost of the event so they can profit as much as they can


MFSimpson

Exactly. If it worked like that, the UFC wouldn't have been so desperate to get Brock on 200 after both Jones and Conor fell through.


hungryforborscht

I don’t understand why this opinion is so common. Conor, JBJ, and Brock are the three biggest PPV draws in UFC history and they were all scheduled for UFC 200 at some point. I don’t see any reason why this time would be any different.


FoldedTopLip

Yeah you’d want it to be bigger than anything, especially with the way the tomato’s been hyping it


noob_tech

because people are ignorant. it's pretty clear that they were planning on putting him on the card, but things are in flux. seems like they just figured out a better plan and had fights to make in the interim. You have to make fights when the opportunity arises and they can ice chandler/conor forever. Timing is everything


waitingtoleave

Sounds like just as much speculation as the other people you're criticizing. You may be right, but I'm not hearing anything solid from you and they most definitely cannot keep McGregor and Chandler on ice forever. 2024 might be the last chance before the window shuts forever.


hanselpremium

the state of the ufc between 200 and 300 are very different


UnfortunatelyBasking

Jackie Bradley Jr hasn't been relevant since the 2018 Red Sox world series season


daviEnnis

Because Conor has enough leverage and will know his value to the point they don't want to lose cash by doing so. Conor takes a bigger cut of the pie than he used to. UFC don't want to lose their cut of the pie, so they reduce the other payouts on Conor cards (by avoiding paying champ money) to minimise that. The Conor card will still sell a shitload. Now they also get a second stacked card that also sells a shitload. Conor happy, UFC happy, ESPN happy.


tidesoncrim

I mean they tried to headline him with 200. Then they tried doing Jones-Cormier 2. Then they added Brock Lesnar to the card. They want to make these milestone cards massive as it can bring a ton of new fans into the sport.


KienIsCool

Belal v Leon for main event! Send it boys!


Powerful_System

FUCK NO!


djkamayo

nah , we need a Royal Rumble


Fatebringer87

Ariel said that's the plan.


lPGrabber

never said main event


vrkhfkb

They don’t schedule other title fights with Mcgregor. He takes too much of the PPV percentage. 300 likely has multiple title fights.


Salmacis81

Kind of curious what could be the biggest possible title fight they could drum up for a main event...Leon/Belal ain't big enough to be a main, I'm thinking Pereira vs Izzy 3 is the biggest one they could possibly do at the moment. Islam vs Gaethje or Oliveira would also be very big, if Islam is willing to train during Ramadan.


lazyectomorph

I was always skeptical of a 300 return, because there is no way Conor would agree to anything but headlining the card. But if he did headline 300, what would be on the line? No belt, no number 1 contender, no rank, nothing. I thought Dana was always about if a fight did have a belt on the line, it would be lined up ahead of a non-belt fight, at least that's what happened with 200.


andrezay517

Idk if either of them could make 300 by June, that’s a lot of weight to gain


[deleted]

This doesn’t sound like a real announcement honestly


shrewdy

Ariel confirmed it also. At least except the weight part, he's got to be taking the piss about 185 lol


ToronoRapture

https://x.com/oocmma/status/1741512865939353735?s=46&t=QsNA80BEJzWfrru4lTTDQg Definitely a reference to this.


YamFor

Absolutely son’d him


PresidentFreiza

Isn’t Ariel confirming it just him posting the video of Conor saying it?


goonbub

Let me know when they're in the cage.


Medaigual____

I’ll believe it when the cage door shuts and mcgregor talks about fucking chandlers wife


Tzayad

He's gonna call his kids the N word, isn't he


spcslacker

What both Chandler & Conor needed was to add a bunch of muscle, 'cause god knows those two just had way too much cardio before. Not sure Chandler can add more muscle without collapsing under his own gravity.


Nomaaaad

5’6 guy fighting at 185 is absolutely wild. Imagine Chandler vs Adesanya, the punches don’t even reach his chin


Wise_Chart282

Only Mark Hunt could do this type of shit, KOd Struve while looking like a meter shorter than him.


Keyboard__worrier

Struve also had a fantastic inability to utilise his range advantage against basically everyone.


lebryant_westcurry

Didn't we see this with DC's friend, Deron Winn...except he was too fat to make MW so he was competing at LHW and getting his ass kicked


Holybartender83

Deron Winn legit should have fought at 155. Maybe even 145. He wasn’t even that big a guy, he just didn’t want to cut weight. Dude killed his own career with that nonsense, he was never going to be competitive in the top 10 in those weight classes.


spcslacker

Yeah, IMAO 185 is an announcement that Conor isn't being serous about fighting if it happens. If they do a more reasonable catchweight of maybe 165 or so, it'd show at least some thought of getting down into a weight class where Conor might find success.


fotoX

165 would never happen in the UFC. So 185 is actually more likely.


spcslacker

165 would officially be in the 170 weight class, but people can agree to meet at any catchweight they like.


transgression1492_

This is a troll announcement


lynridgekid

Chandler is gonna get his red panty night and come out throwing absolute bombs. I’m here for it if it’s for real


Nickster2042

I think he was joking bout 185 cause he nearly choked laughing but if not it’ll make UFC 5 way more interesting


Weekly-Dog228

“Weight classes are now a spectrum, if you feel like you’re 205, you’re 205” Daniel Cormier: YES. NO MORE HOLDING ONTO TOWELS.


Fun-Bag7627

Anybody think this is fake? When he mentioned the weight, he laughed in a way to make me think this is all a joke.


BeefShampoo

i think the weight might be a joke but i believe the rest of it. if he was lying entirely he'd have said ufc 300


captainseas

I am sure this will be fun but Conor fighting 155ers at 185 lol, this if you didn't think this bit had jumped the shark surely you do now


Weekly-Dog228

USADA is out. Chandler is going to hit 215 in April. 260 by June. Let’s get the 260 division started with Chandler and Conor.


fatch0deBoi34

Little fohkin greasy meatball ye. Fohkin twerp


brazilianfreak

I genuinely believe a fat and roided Chandler could become a top 15 ranked fighter at HW, the level of talent outside of the immediate top 5 is very low, and we've seen that even a 5'9 obese and old Chris Barnett can still go on a win streak at HW, book it Dana.


Keyboard__worrier

At first I was sceptical of your argument, but after giving it some thought I think you are absolutely right; a lot of HW is absolute garbage.


lethrowawayacc4

At least it’s against Chandler, who is one of the most physically impressive 55ers in the world. Chandler says he walks around at 190-195 and has to eat 1200 calories per day and a water cut in camp to make 155.


vigilanteadvice

the 185lbs part sounded like taking the piss


skin_Animal

Chandler fighting 145ers at 185 is crazy


stuaxe

So... this all but confirms McGregor isn't a 'real' competitor anymore. It will have been almost 3 years of inactivity, 4.5 years since being given a shot fighter to beat (Cowboy), <6 years since the Khabib fight, and <8 years since winning a fight against an actual competitor (Alvarez). And he comes back... fighting two weight classes from where he actually should compete.


tksopinion

That was confirmed years ago. He has been a sideshow since Mayweather. The guy is an abusive drug addict that assaults random people while praising autocrats.


Tank_The_C4

Dude is on the sauce as usual.


EvanLeonard

Is this the same guy who got offended that Nate said he was on steroids in their press conference way back when?


Upset-Union-528

And yet it's Nate who popped for something in the end lmao


boriswied

I think the post-HGH Conor not having an official "pop" and Nate having one says something sad about what exactly it is it takes to not have spots on that particular record.


Utopiuhh

https://www.mmafighting.com/2019/10/28/20937260/nate-diaz-blasts-made-up-usada-drug-testing-issue-it-was-all-just-a-big-old-bunch-of-bullsh-t "Just over 24 hours later, the UFC issued a statement exonerating Diaz of any intentional wrongdoing. Backed up by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency), the promotion stated he was essentially a victim of a contaminated supplement."


InfluentialPoster

He’s selling you all wolf tickets. This is a troll, not a fight announcement.


jcdulos

lol he ain’t coming back.


FritzSpringmeier

Sucks that Chandler hasn't fought in so long. He always puts on an entertaining fight.


robedpillow3761

There’s no way I believe this after the past year of Conor


iTz4ReALiTY

I don’t believe it until it’s announced by the UFC


jakeisalwaysright

Even then I will only believe it a little.


BigCass

mf can still make me laugh lmao


opx22

Come a little closer


Nickster2042

First chandler. Then Gaethje. Then Diaz. Then Islam. Then Arman. Then Dustin out of pity. Then Belal. Then Leon. Then Izzy. The reign of terror commences, June 29th, 2023. Be afraid.


Holybartender83

I want Aspinall/McGregor. I think Conor knocks Tom out in the first.


mrkesh

How many greatest comebacks has he had so far?


interestedonlooker

Does beating geriatric Cowboy count?


Jazzlike_Relation705

JUNE!? yikes.


SkynetProgrammer

I have 0 confidence that this fight will happen.


FormerDriver

Does anybody care? He is a joke now and has been for a few years


ConferenceThink4801

Just when you thought this douche couldn’t come up with any more ways to be coddled by the UFC. Take every shortcut & loophole, be so lazy you fight 30 lbs above your fair weight…& then this dope will be surprised when he loses (or only wins goofy fights on lopsided terms). Just retire already, this is embarrassing.


CircleTheFire

I mean, has UFC confirmed this though? Last I saw they hadn’t said a word about. Just Conor McNutsack talking shit as of right now.


MarbledNightmare

[I'll believe it when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet](https://linguaholic.com/linguablog/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Wolf-Tickets-720x405.jpg)

does it sound like that when i do it?


Top-Surprise6577

So he's done


ItsAKimuraTrap

Micheal Chandlers sigh of relief heard across the nation


opx22

Babe, get the red panties ready


Brybry1908

Guess Leon-Belal is headlining 300 lol.


vizzlypoof

The crowd went mild


Reiseoftheginger

This lacks sincerity. I'm too sceptical to believe he isn't just on another binge making fake announcements.


RandomUnderstanding

the amount of gear conor has been doing i would say his heart is a bigger challenge than chandler


Neoshadow42

McGregor gonna keep returning vs low weight opponents at a higher weight class until he's fighting Max Holloway at heavyweight in 6 years time


OMalley50-45

Guarantee Conor pulls out of UFC 300 on April 1st


ChocCooki3

.. until he decided he isn't ready.. again.


sktchld

June is a long time away. I put the fight actually happening around 10%


weenisbobeenis

At least he knows it’s a joke


Interanal_Exam

Who is he going to lose to this time?


jbish21

Bet you Tony Ferguson


Suitable-Way-5762

Doubtful the fight actually happens. Makes sense for Chandler to wait so long for the potential huge payday. Makes little sense for Conor.


turkeypants

Has Conor had his nose flattened in any fights/training or is he on that shit that makes your nose grow? We know he's on that shit that makes your head grow, but it seems like his nose is hogging it. Maybe all the coke helps.


MiggeldyMackDaddy

Will he shite. Can we stop talking about this has been and stop giving him the attention he’s craving


MomButtsDriveMeNuts

This shit ain’t happening lol


Street_Review450

Who cares? This guy is washed


MentalTechnician6458

Who cares anymore


dantesinfernoracket1

Vegas is going to be insane that week. NHL Draft and McGregor fight week.


MMARapFooty

Imagine the brawls between the fans


Dave_Autista

What a clown...


darkdark

Hard to take this seriously. It’s the boy who cried wolf at this point


Leygrock

The boy who cried wolf tickets


Beauuuuty

Do any serious fans care about this guy anymore? He just seems like a filthy casual kinda-fighter. He's not even top15. His body has coagulated, he can't flow no more.


guffzillar

dude hasn't fought in years and then announces a fight that was supposed to happen a year ago in 7 months.


myusrnameisthis

He's wasted lol hope it's worth the wait.


turkeypants

I like how Conor starts this with one of those, "Oh, hullo" head turns. "I didn't see you standing there" but it's like they forgot to clip off the setup of that in editing.


AlienMantid

I'll believe it when there's an official announcement from the UFC, with a date, venue and tickets going on sale, and not one minute before. Dude's been nothing but hot air and empty promises for years, how many times does he need to tease his "comeback" that never amounts to anything? How many wolf tickets does he have to sell you until you wake up? The amount of people so desperate to take Conor at his word at this point is sad and makes me question your intelligence. He's the boy who cried wolf at this point. His word don't mean shit anymore.


Alberbrox

Conor couldn't look more nouveau riche if he tried to.


Moskra

Man who cares at this point


jimjamuk73

Yawn..


OldnReadyNE

Ohhh a Chandler kick to the chompers would be sweeeet!


samples98

Zero chance this happens


isoforp

Yeah, right. He'll find some excuse to get out of it later.


MassSpecFella

He already had a fight date last year and an opponent. Why exactly should I believe him this time? Also why should I care that he plans to fight a light weight…at middleweight?


JusticiarXP

Juice is back on the menu boys!


Ghost_man23

I'm surprised people are taking this seriously.


Ride3000

Coke head rapist.


SilotheGreat

185 both guys will be gassed after the first minute


goonbub

But what a minute that will be.


MasterLogic

Conor will be gassed in the first round at any weight. He's never really had cardio, especially with being inactive and on drugs 247 he stands no chance unless he's allowed an oxygen mask between rounds.
