God bless your innocence. Highest profile UFC fighter causes a harmless ruck at a media event to promote a UFC fight.

Let's me guess this will turn into a huge feud, that will end with McGregor fighting the other guy in a huge PPV event.

UFC fans must be slightly embarrassed their "sport" is barely a step above WWE at this stage.

One fighter can't fight because of lacerations to his face from McGregor putting a hand truck through the bus window, another fighter can't fight because he got glass in his eye from McGregor putting a hand truck through the bus window and another UFC employee has a broken hand apparently, although there hasn't been much more about this since Dana mentioned it.

Maybe you just don't know the definition of harmless? :rolleyes:

Why then not say he looks like a feral South Dub kid? There's no shortage of them there.

Get people queued up to buy a night of tripe on pay per view.a year listening to theory’s on the may weather fight if you turned on the tv or radio and you would definitely see better fights in supermacs after a night out.mctapper is past tense and these types of gimpish outbursts are last ditch efforts to keep his name in the news

If it's a PR stunt, they wouldn't have gotten the cops involved. That complicates the whole thing if McGregor ends up being banned from the US or spending any time in jail.

Between this and getting into a brawl in Crumlin with some actual gangsters, it's clear at this stage that McGregor is just an idiot who now fancies himself as untouchable.

Within a decade he'll be on the scratcher again, guarantee it.

I was referring to coffee, he appears over stimulated.

you're calling this a harmless ruck and I'M naive? i have a feeling you aren't familiar with the US legal system, the licensing codes that fighters must adhere to, or US visa regulations. and I'm guessing you never had a steel trolley and broken glass lodged in your face, either.

there are going to be serious consequences for this in the short and long term and he'll likely never fight in America again. that's the reality.

No he hasn't. He will get a massive payday to fight this weekends winner, and reclaim his title. UFC copying WWF/WWE.

If he’s guilty as charged will he have major hassle trying to enter the USA again

Do you not think that there is a small chance of the UFC encouraging him to do this to promote the fight this weekend? Connor might even be getting a percentage of the gate on this one.

I get that UFC is real fighting but it uses WWW wrestling promotion tactics. 90 percent of what Connor comes out with is rubbish just to promote the fight. I think it is staged. I don't believe that they would strip him of the title without telling him.

ChikiChiki

Even if it did start out as a PR stunt it certainly escalated to much worse. He wont fight UFC again. People were hurt hence the reason he is up on charges.

You cant fault McGregor for all he has achieved but the bloke is obviously a huge liability to himself and others. The UFC has its fanbase built on a lot of his work but doesnt need him anymore.

doubt khabib would come here and no way conor goes to russia, absolutely no way. khabib is connected with some scary dudes. neither fighter would feel safe in the others country, even though they both act fearless and khabib is saying now he hopes conor doesn't go to jail so they can stil fight. but as title holder why should he have to go into Conor's home turf? to prove a point maybe.

could do it in Brazil or somewhere like that. If it does happen I'd be backing khabib with every penny i have. he's probably the better fighter anyway and legal issues and lawsuits are extremely draining on a person. if it does ever happen it won't be for quite a long time and probably conor would just do it cuz his money's gone. and then he'd probably get rocked or pull a Tyson and get DQ'd or something like that, turn it into another sh-tshow.

srsly any way you slice it, Conor's dunzo.

WHIP IT!

Are you actually trying to suggest that Russian dude would be worried about coming to Dublin lest he be accosted by Conor's coked up mates??

That's hilarious...

whether the fight gets a licence is irrelevant if McGregor can't get past US immigration..

I'm not an MMA fan so have never really understood the hype over the guy. Anytime I've seen him mentioned in the news, he just comes across as an immature eejit who can't handle the money and fame he suddenly found himself with. Certainly not someone to be supporting or holding up as a role model IMO

So now it seems his antics are catching up with him and he faces some potentially serious consequences for himself and his "career".. Good enough for him really.

Is being held in police custody overnight part of the promotion?

iano.p

I respect what he has done in mma. But holy god the man has no class and never will he needs a better group of friends around him. Where were the event security that is abit strange too me there only seems a couple there. You would see more at the local bingo hall.

it's actually mind boggling how many idiots can't grasp this and just think it's a setup to generate hype for conor and khabib to fight.

he'll probably have his license revoked and be banned from the entire country, and that's before we even get to whether Dana would allow him back. which i don't think he will. sure the money would be huge but is Dana going to choose money, which he doesn't need more of anyway, over the safety of the fighters who behave properly? he cut michael chiesa's face, shook up Rose pretty bad, got 3 fights cancelled. Dana will have to try and keep some integrity. Plus he's gonna take Conor to the cleaners in a lawsuit, hard to see them just put that to the side and work together again. He doesn't really need Conor that bad the UFC is huge at this point and there's always gonna be a new guy coming up.

just because you're famous and you fight for a living doesn't mean you can commit crimes in the US and continue to work there. it's all on video so he's no chance of beating the case he'll be pleading guilty. only fighting he'll be doing for the next couple years will be in courtrooms. he'll probably have to stay back here and focus on training other fighters or running a gym something like that

news reports coming out say Conor's locked up in NYC after going on a violent rampage at the UFC press conference. he picked up a number of heavy metal objects and threw them at a bus containing other fighters, one of the objects broke the bus window which led to one of the fighters getting cut badly on his face/head. it was caught on tape as well.

he's going to get so many charges off of this, is going to be sued by a bunch of people including the UFC, probably deported and banned from the US altogether.

ufc career gone, huge chunks of his money gone, criminal record and most likely a serious drug problem (doubt he was sober and it wasn't budweiser he was on) crazy and sad, but he's so screwed.

It beats getting whupped by a 42 year old retired boxer!

GBX

He is minted. "ruined his life" - Yeah, I don't think so. He may not fight again in the UFC after this but that won't stop the money coming in for him.

pgj2015

what he did, was what a certain group of people would do if you offended a member of their family.

some people should never come into money like he has.

I hate all the "well hes a millionaire" bull, like thats the only measure of a person these days.
