Conor McGregor is a “Clueless Gamer”

March 12, 2016 by Jason Cruz 19 Comments

Conor McGregor appeared on Conan to promote the upcoming release of EA UFC 2 in the semi-regular segment of the show, “Clueless Gamer.”

McGregor and Conan Obrien talked and gave a little preview of the video game playing each other as each other (EA created a version of Conan for the game).

For those not familiar with the “Clueless Gamer” segment I refer you back to last year with the best example of how the show promotes a video game with the latest version of Street Fighter was Marshawn Lynch and Rob Gronkowski.

Payout Perspective:

Despite the loss, it’s clear that McGregor is a great asset for the company as he is comfortable in front of the camera.  His segment with Conan was a good way to promote the game.  Late night shows attempt to be savvier when they are helping to promote an upcoming product launch.  The “Clueless Gamer” segments are always entertaining and get you to see a glimpse of the upcoming game.

    Should have Diaz on that cover seeing he tapped him the heck out and knocked him off that fake hype train created by Dana “mr clean” white. Wouldn’t mind seeing Tate on there either.

    Two losers who are bigger draws than anyone in combat sports.

    Also, a 13 second ko of Aldo, defeating Mendes and Poirier is not hype, that is results.

    Regardless of you guys desire to trash each others favorite sport…lol….good for McGregor, the UFC, and the game they are coming out with. Nothing negative about this one…good stuff. I just wish the UFC would promote its other fighters to the non mma crowd.

    Fight Fan, not at all. Canelo was the b on that ppv. When he became an A, his ppvs were all in the 300ks other than the fight with Cotto…another ppv fighter. McGregor did 1.2m with Aldo, and 1.3 with Diaz. The comparison isn’t even close. Rousey also did 1m with Holm who at the time wasn’t a draw. Those two are clearly bigger stars.

    Also, if Canelo fights the best like McGregor does, he will be destroyed. GGG will ko him for sure if they fight. I think Canelo will probably wait until Golovkin is 40 though. Haha.

    I guess Marvin Hagler was a loser. Or what about that De La hoya guy, he was a loser too. Remember that Manny guy sleep on the mat, super loser.

    Man these games are so terrible now. Used to love fight night so much and the UFC games before EA took them over. Now there just trash. THQ or whoever made them before needs to take back over because the first UFC games were pure entertainment. EA ruins every game now.

    Dunlap I can’t speak for the ufc games but EA has always done fight night, they were previously called knockout kings. The games were always good with good mechanics and gameplay. Hopefully they can do good though because the controls on the last ufc game were very rough and made the game a chore to play.

    Living in the past? It was a few months ago.

    He was tapped out by a bigger fighter who he fought a terrible strategy against and was clearly beating the snot out of early on.

    You guys are delusional.
