Official Conor McGregor thread (part 4) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match

Outlaw Pete

Oh, you're so right, yes, my views of the events earlier this evening stem from my dislike of misandry... thought I'd hid it well, but no, you rumbled me.

I'm surprised the night nurse lets you use the Internet this late if I'm honest.

Pete, at some stage I assume your crusade for men’s rights was well intentioned however it’s taken a wrong turn somewhere.

The two posts I noticed, on topical issues I’ve an interest in, were you:

Misrepresenting a post about Louis Ck forcing women to watch him Masturbate to score points about misandry

And

Defending Conor jumping in a cage, slapping a commissioner and trying to start a fight with a referee

Maybe the two aren’t linked but you’ve still got a pretty disagreeable viewpoint of both.

Apologies I’m up late arguing with you, it’s been a really rough week and today I’ve found out three people I admired are pretty ****ty people (Louis ck, Conor & Jesse Lacey)

McNugget gone full megalomaniac.

Luke Thomas saying that because the event was regulated by Michael Mazzulli (director of the Mohegan Commission) McGregor could potentially get a hefty enough suspension):

Handbags.

He's obviously going one way and its self destruction.

Sad to see but happens to many people who find fame and fortune so quick.

Wouldn't it be better to try help him?

Seems people are licking their lips at the prospect of him possibly ending up who knows where.

I found cmcg bearable up to this point. Now.....its like 'look at me, look at me'. Worse than bono

Jimmy Bottlehead

Absolutely disgusted at Conor's behaviour there. I've been a fan since his Cage Warrior days, had a lot of time for him but this is indefensible. I also love that Goddard didn't back up one step.

Also, Ward's comment on how his opponent may not have woken up tomorrow... wow. Just wow. Good PR job, Charlie.

A very, very disappointing night for SBG Ireland.

Bobeagleburger

Is he having some sort of meltdown I wonder? Similar to Fury in the boxing? .

Doesn't look good anyway.

He literally looked like a text book definition scumbag

Gonna find it hard to part with my cash and stay up late and write off the Sunday after for his next fight

I had so much respect for this guy.

I'm not sure how people can pass this off as 'nothing' and 'handbags'. People seem to be conflating McGregor the fighter and McGregor the person. The slap is not the hardest dig he has ever thrown, but the crucial difference is neither he nor the person he struck was contracted to fight, so just like any other member of the public he committed an act of battery. Before anybody jumps in, no I'm not claiming he 'battered' the official.

He had no right to jump that cage, the fight had not even been called yet. Does anybody defending his actions think that, had he waited till Ward was announced as winner and then walked into the cage to congratulate him, he would have received the same treatment from the officials?

In any other sport that I can think of, assault and battery of an official would result in a ban, from the lowest levels up. I know that, without a world-wide governing body, that becomes problematic for MMA. Having said that, it does seem like the ABC are looking at it


With regards to the push from both the ref and the official inside the cage, it's very simple. Had McGregor not acted as he did, there would have been no push from either. Somebody will probably suggest that this was battery on their behalf. Honestly I'm not sure legally where that stands, but both the officials look like they could present a better case for the necessity of their actions to either the gardai or a judge

He's loosing the plot before our eyes.

How many times have we seen it.

EagererBeaver

I wonder how long it'll be before someone comes along to label Goddard either a "snake" or a "weasel".

He needs to lay off the cocaine and get a grip

I feel really sorry for people who followed him as a sportsman backing him up by saying his behaviour outside the arena was a show and just to build up for the fights.

Turns out he was acting like a scumbag because he IS a scumbag, I am not surprised.

This is a large part of the reason why McGregor's teammates (Artem, Charlie etc) were kept in the UFC so long even though they are mostly useless - UFC knew if they let them off to Bellator, Conor would likely attend the fights and his presence ringside would have promotional value. Bellator immediately put out promo footage of the altercation to promote their event in the US where it was on time-delay.

People should remember this next time they say SBG are great because they have/had X guys in the UFC. Most of those guys are not there on merit.

Technically shouldn't the fight have been stopped due to a crowd invasion and called a no contest? Lol

That's a pretty serious allegation. You have proof of course?

Video of him up a tree in Liverpool is proof enough I'd say

Not surprising if uv heard Charlie talk before , all on about people who pay tax are fools and how he lives a lawless life , He's not a very intelligent chap

I laughed way too hard at this.

Too Tough To Die

Just celebrating his surroundings, as he likes to put it.

Necro

Ugh I've been growing more and more tired of him since the Mayweather circus tbh. No logical way of defending that.
Cop on and defend the belt rather than being in the limelight for this nonsense.

Watching GSP on his return actually showed something to me. You can be a superstar in MMA and not act like a classless thug at the same time.

Just sad that arguably our most famous talent of the last decade is rather publicly melting down before our very eyes. Not even sure I care about him getting back to fighting now if this continues.

Jesus, after reading 12 pages on here, I watched the video this morning. Acting the bollix alright but ye getting a bit overboard there with the outrage.

He was obviously off his tits on something flying around like a spastic midget. Pushed the ref and also assaulted an official with a slap outside the cage Don't know how even the most deluded apologists can brush this off.

Don't know if you've ever taking coke or any narcotics, but that's not the effect they have, the complete opposit infact! He looked like a gurrier steamed up on vodka.
A bit of handbags there is all, looking to steal the limelight all the time. Goddard seems to think it wasn't much either with his humorous tweet

This I'd say also from that video earlier in the thread he is as high as a kite
I'd be a fan of his but carrying on like he did last night no need for it he was wrong end of he was off his face and lost the plot hopefully today he will see that before it gets worse

You obviously don't no what you are on about cocaine is a stimulant not technically a narcotic actually and absolutely causes people to act like he was for example

Typical signs and symptoms of current cocaine use include:

Increased agitation.
Effusive enthusiasm.
Disinhibition.
Increased movement (i.e. hyperactivity).
Increased common cold-like symptoms and/or nosebleeds.
Signs of involuntary movements (i.e. muscle tics).
Changes in concentration and focus.

You are thinking of the likes of benzos or opiots which are downers
