history, McGregor is now attempting to creep closer Antworten

Kyle Walker breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Mauricio Pochettino had agreed a new Tottenham contract and insists the clubs title challenge is not over yet. Pochettino has struck a verbal agreement over a two-year extension, which will keep him at White Hart Lane until 2021 - the deal is now with the Argentinians lawyers and expected to be confirmed in the coming days.Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain had all reportedly considered Pochettino for their top jobs next season after the 44-year-old led Spurs to second in the Premier League and all-but secured Champions League qualification. Walker was being interviewed at Tottenhams training ground on Friday as Pochettino announced his new deal and when the full-back was told, his reaction was telling.Ive been waiting for someone to say that for ages now! Hes said it? Thank goodness for that. Im over the moon, Walker said.It is a relief. There is always going to be speculation. It happens all the time. Kyle Walker (L) has hailed Mauricio Pochettinos influence on Spurs after news broke he had verbally agreed to stay This player is going here, this manager is going there but I think thats not for me to talk about or for any other player to talk about. We just need to conduct ourselves professionally.Pochettino is an immensely popular figure in the Tottenham dressing room and it is understood there was a growing nervousness among the players about their head coachs future.The squads young crop are particularly loyal with the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Erik Lamela and Danny Rose, as well as Walker, all enjoying remarkable progress under his tutelage. Mauricio Pochettino explains why hes extending his contract at Tottenham. The new deal could keep there until 2021 For me, hes not just the manager on the pitch but its how he is off the pitch. That says everything for me, Walker said.Some of the managers that have come in, you know...theres young players here now and sometimes they do need an arm around them and to say, you can do this, sit them down, look at the TV screen, you can do this better, because we are still learning.We are probably not in our prime yet, most of us, so we are still learning and he is the man to take this club forward and onto new levels. Its just everything about him, his aura as well. Its just fantastic. Guus Hiddink insists Chelseas players will take all their remaining games seriously Tottenham visit London rivals Chelsea on Monday, live on Sky Sports, knowing their title challenge could be over by the time they kick-off if Leicester beat Manchester United on Sunday, also live on Sky Sports.Even if the Foxes are not crowned champions this weekend, they only need three points from United, Everton and Chelsea to finish the job - but Walker has not given up hope.Its a difficult one because its not over until the fat lady sings, Walker said. Man United are still chasing something, Everton are not going to want to lose. Willian says the Chelsea players dont want Tottenham to win the league and will be doing their upmost to beat them There is no professional footballer who steps onto a pitch and says OK, were just going to chuck this one in. Everton, probably, have a point to prove, having not had the best of seasons.Chelsea likewise, the last game of the season at Stamford Bridge, theyll want to put out a performance for their crowd, so hopefully, theyre not easy games [for Leicester]. But first and foremost, we need to go to Stamford Bridge and win, and weve got two tough games after that. So nothing is a given.

NEW YORK -- It likely went down as the line of the night on Saturday at the UFCs historic debut at Madison Square Garden. But it might as well sum up Conor McGregors entire career.Id like to take a chance to apologize to ... absolutely nobody! McGregor said, setting off a cacophony of noise -- both supportive and derisive -- inside the legendary arena.McGregor, fresh off of making history at UFC 205 by becoming the promotions first fighter to hold world titles in two weight divisions simultaneously, need not seek repentance from anyone in the fight game. Not even as his behavior in recent days, from showing up late once again at Thursdays news conference to answering questions with constant profanity, has become increasingly crass for even his standards.The worlds most famous fighter took over The Worlds Most Famous Arena and made it his home on Saturday with a second-round knockout of lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, just as he said he would do. In fact, just as he said he would do to every single fighter he has faced over 10 appearances in the Octagon since his 2013 debut -- save for a brief hiccup at welterweight against Nate Diaz in March, which he avenged four months later.As the great Muhammad Ali used to say, its not bragging if you can back it up. And until anyone at 145 -- where McGregor has held the UFCs featherweight title since last December -- or 155 pounds can do anything to stop him, the brazen Irish sensation has free reign to be just as Notorious as he wants to.The Ali reference is apropos in this sense because McGregor is the first combat sports athlete since The Greatest to truly possess Ali-like qualities. No, the parallel isnt perfect, particularly from the sense of cultural significance. But when it comes to entertainment value and the bold ability to back up the endless rhetoric that acts as his shield, McGregor stands alone within his own era.McGregors victory over Alvarez caps a 12-month span of financial and in-cage success that tops what any fighter has done in UFC history. So on the very saame night as the 23rd anniversary of the UFC, in the promotions first appearance in the state of New York since 1997 following a well-documented battle, there was no other fighter worthy to have his face on the marquee on the brightest possible stage.ddddddddddddHaving already supplanted his contemporaries as the greatest draw in UFC history, McGregor is now attempting to creep closer toward the idea of becoming its greatest fighter, as well. No, hes not there yet. To many, he might not even be close. But hes building a resume that each day is becoming harder to quantify with an asterisk like what happens when he finally faces an elite wrestler with a full training camp? Those days, of penalizing his arrogance and lack of a complete game with qualifiers, is nearing completion.Are there fighters in both weight classes in which McGregor holds titles that you could legitimately favor to beat him tomorrow? No question. Unbeaten lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, who looked like a beast in mauling Michael Johnson on Saturday before calling out McGregor, is one of them.But the more he continues to make the kind of outrageous claims that hes talented and just crazy enough to actually back them up inside the cage -- while doing so in such spectacular and effortless fashion -- the closer McGregor comes to mixed martial arts immortality.Like Ali, he spoke of his all-time greatness from the very beginning, long before any of us -- or possibly himself -- was truly in a position to believe it. But theres no longer room to deny it.McGregor couldnt have said it any better Saturday after the fight when he proclaimed, Youve got to have size, reach, length -- youve got to have attributes to defeat me. One of those attributes is audacity, and right now he has no peer.For that, McGregor need not apologize. As long as he continues to back it up, the UFC is his world and the rest of us are just bystanders. ' ' '
