The clock is ticking and Conor McGregor knows it. Yes all men are psychics when it counts. Conor McGregor (who pulled an unhinged Ronda Rousey act at his weigh in yesterday) knows it the way Chris Weidman knew it before Chris’ spectacular drubbing by Luke Rockhold at UFC 194. But don’t wait for the vacuously sophomoric Irishman to tell that to the world because he won’t …. except through a few unintended tells. Look and pan for them like an intrepid Forty-niner if you wanna keep the family farm.
McGregor Myth sell-by-date: October 6, 2018 which coincides with UFC 229 and Conor McGregor’s fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov a.k.a. the Hail Mary of a Headhunter vs the Dagestani Grinder who Wrestled Bears for gym kicks as a child. Last time we checked Conor was no bear. “Conor McGregor is every bit the old Ronda Rousey (before the Holly Holm decapitation) minus the robotic vibes.” (Incrucible.Net) Photo Copyright: Michael Reaves/Getty Images
The Sideshow Must Go On: You are gonna have to pan for them tells ‘coz McGregor ain’t gonna tell ya. Reason? The Conor McGregor Sideshow must go on. Put another way, Conor has few choices but to whistle through this graveyard that has closed in on him like a malodorous fog. He is gonna whistle through the graveyard the same way Chris Weidman did prior to UFC 194. But then, come to think of it, Weidman was telegraphing his own drubbing all over the place and we predicted it right here. McGregor is gonna be no exception.
Strategic Concession: Beyond the sophomoric-cum-high school jinks McGregor puts on, he is perfectly capable of sober risk assessment (which is something that, with the help of Dana White, has served him rather well in the UFC to date.) That side showed up just before his fight with Eddie Alvarez when one could hear McGregor tossing out phrases that could serve him well in case of a loss. It’s possible he might pull the same maneuvers here, cognizant of how his pop-cultural doppleganger, Ronda Rousey fell and did so on stage that was high and lifted up.
