    GGG vs Canelo II is off. The selfish part of me is happy because it was on the weekend during college exam week :D
    Delighted to see Joshua vs Wilder is confirmed for the UK too.

    So UFC had their media day for UFC 223, all goes well, Conor McGregor and crew show up, shenanigans ensue..

    https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN/status/981953963313565697
    Conor McGregor stormed through Barclays, ended up in the loading dock of the arena with his entourage in tow and “swarmed” a bus that was leaving with UFC fighters and camps. Conor and crew were “throwing chairs, bike racks.”

    And apparently,

    https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN/status/981972098280312832
    Dana White said warrant is out for Conor McGregor’s arrest. His plane can’t leave New York.

    Too much money too young and has no idea what to do with himself now, so doing as he pleases. But he crossed way over the line here.

    Most of McGregor's actions I've always found to be measured. The guy is deceptively intelligent, but this....no idea what he thinks the end game here was.

    Money changes people, plus you'd think him being a father would keep him grounded in reality, apparently not..

    Well apparently it's been 500 days since his last fight, think I'll be following the Conor thread in the MMA forum, just to see how this plays out.

    Also the NYPD haven't commented on it, despite an arrest warrant reportedly being issued for Conor, wouldn't they know/have commented by now a warrant was issued?

    They were about to strip Conor of his title, right? Probably makes the decision a bit easier.

    He was already stripped off it (http://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/22628282/dana-white-confirms-ufc-strip-conor-mcgregor-lightweight-belt-award-tony-ferguson-khabib-nurmagomedov-winner) and he didn't take too kindly too it.
    UFC president Dana White confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that the promotion intends to strip McGregor, 29, of his 155-pound title the moment interim champion Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov step into the Octagon at UFC 223 on April 7 in Brooklyn.

    Love how if you type his name into google to get the news one of the first things to pop up via "popular on twitter" is an Irish guys feed saying:

    As bad as Conor McGregor's latest antics are, we should remember that Big Boss Man once drove away with the coffin at Big Show's da's funeral and that was all quickly forgotten about.

    I get that Artem's fight is cancelled and cuts due to glass caused 2 other fighters to have to be pulled and that in turn can lead to law suits for loss of earnings etc but these really are some fake ass gangsters blowing stuff out of all proportion.

    Dana White says it's the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in UFC history, others are speculating he will have 30.000 dollar bail set... the dude threw a bin at a bus!

    Ffs Conor just agree to fight the guy if you care enough to do all this nonsense.

    Yeah this keeps his name out there but I doubt it'd do so more than if he did something like his previous antics after this weekends fight, jumped the cage with his belt to challenge the winner for example.

    Still people are having fun on twitter, I gotta a chuckle from the one about Jon jones

    JJ: nobody can mess up their career as epically as I did. Conor: hang on, hold my cocaine
