    So he's been charged with 3 counts of assault and 1 of criminal mischief. Due to appear in court later today. Jays that Bolivian Marching Powder is a hell of a drug

    Can a lot of that be dropped if the three, presumably the two fighters who had to pull out and khabib, don't press charges?

    People might be placated with some money for now and when the match is announced again for an upcoming show it's now got more eyes on it, as a result staying out of court and getting paid off might be appealing.

    "The dude threw a bin at a bus!" Making it sound like he threw a plastic bin at the side panel.

    He threw a hand trolley through the window of a bus full of people. He's scum.

    Not defending him, just pointing out the madness that surrounds the situation. If it wasn't all bravado nonsense he would just fight the guy (plus I guess I didn't see the full video if it went through the window). Or get on the bus and go face to face with him. Not throw a bin (do people use the term hand trolley - had to check in these reports to see wtf that was) at the bus

    Similarily the hyperbole about it being the worst thing in the history of UFC is a bit mad. I don't think there have been any deaths related to injuries sustained in bouts in the UFC or anything similar yet unlike some of the smaller MMA promotions but still.


    McGregor was stupid, very stupid. He is now hopefully being wise and trying to fix it with the police, court and those hurt. Don't think anyone was very seriously hurt thankfully,

    Conor is also starting to lose fans, people like myself that previously respected his fighting are now getting sick of his non fighting nonsense.

    Different things. One's an accident and one is a pre-planned act of scumbaggery.

    Every response is me digging deeper but

    I know which I would consider worse. That was the hyperbole, used worst thing in the history of UFC.

    It was a pre planned act of scummy behavior of that I totally agree

    Watching the last few minutes of this makes me think it’s as real as the time Stone Cold beat up McMahon in hospital!

    Ha, now I know what a hand trolley is! (saw another video) Does look like something someone off their face might do you can see where the speculation on that is coming from. Ridiculous unnatural behavior tbh

    He's pretty much developed himself as the biggest heel in the UFC.

    People will pay money to see him fight in the hopes he gets his head knocked off....

    Alter Bridge album #6 arrives next year :D.

    But because Alter Bridge are currently on hiatus, doesn't mean nothing, Myles off doing his Year Of The Tiger, and eventually coming back together with a certain top hat wearing guitarist and Conspirators and Mark's self named band Tremonti dropped the title track to the new album today



    Not sure what Scott & Brian do with their time off..

    Would the NYPD have drug tested him when he was arrested?

    Josh made reference to it during last night's show when Sami Callahan went to get a steel barricade. "Looking to Conor McGregor his way to victory"

    If anyone is interested, a few of us are running a beginner's D&D game shortly over in Forum Games. Low commitment, one day/night a week, just a starter dungeon to allow people to get to grips with the game to see do they like it.

    I had 4 of the top 6 last year, including the winner, by pure guesswork (read a few previews and backed e/w if the odds were worth it) so I'll probably leave it alone this year.

    I couldn't go for Regal Encore as it's been pulled from the race. Now I'm pinning my hopes on Katie Walsh and Baie Des Iles.
