The Conor McGregor Thread

He should have apologised for his actions. All he did was thankthe legal team, DA etc, his family, friends and FANS for their support. He should be grateful he got off so light. He ought to realise that he's not attracting fans by that behaviour. He's lost me, for one.

A little bit of humility goes a long way.

Did alright for himself anyways was trending high all over the globe for few years there... big box office you know? Bit surreal when you see him bummin around down on rafters road with his buds

Out of interest I’d like to know how the lookalike trying to follow the same path who showed me his MMA invitation on his phone in the PO is doing?! ..or who he is but dead ringer is an understement think he trains in the crumlin boxing club too.... possible career as a doppelgänger anyways it’s uncanny.

Scumbag who has let down all his young fans. If that was ANYONE ordinary they would be kicked out of USA forever and ever and he can swan back and forth. :mad:

Seen him in a mad looking Beemer over by Portobello on Monday... looked like a little action figure in the motor

The real punishment comes now after he has plead guilty and all the litigation that will follow.

That's true, Alpha_zero, but to the average onlooker, it looks like he got off lightly.

A lawyer from New York was interviewed on Matt Coopers show and he said all he has to pay was for the damage to the bus and compensate the fighters who couldn't fight on the night for loss of earnings which is loose change to him.

Didn't some security guard get 200k for the Bottle throwing incident with Nate Diaz

One of the Joe Rogan MMA focused podcasts a while back, had some industry guys and fighters on and they pretty much all claimed the lads who were on the bus screwed up big time by taking fights after the incident, as it killed any big payout for them from Mcgregor.

Good point, Venom! They shoud have held off fighting, if they hoped to get more money.

Alpha_zero

It was a nice touch using the lawyer to deliberately announce the fight ahead of the UFC.

See he is learning he should have had one of the goons throwing the trolley at the bus.

Can't wait for this khabib fight and for the first time I will be actively cheering against Conor. This lad needs (and I really believe he will receive) a serious kicking. He just seems like a scobie fcuk these days and I'm hoping the loss will make him humble and bearable again.

Not from me. I've backed him in every fight up to now apart from Aldo fight.

You're out of luck as Khabib has no kicking game whatsoever.

I don't know about that incident but when he threw the trolley at the bus some of the people inside got bits of glass on them, I think one got some in their eye.

Not a nice thing to happen but according to this lawyer even if they did decide to sue him they would get no more than maybe 20 k so not worth it.

They will be able to sue for considerably more than that. Ray Borg could easily find a doctor to state that he has shortened his career, loss of earnings etc.

The key issue is that he had admitted guilt in the plea deal. There are going to be a handful of cases against him.

If they went fighting after the night in question then they could not possibly claim the incident shortened their careers - and Borg stated he pulled out of his last fight to care for his child, which meant he was able to fight but for non-medical (his own I mean) reasons he did not

He plead Guilty and now he has to face multiple lawsuit. The guilty plea hurt him in this regard.

This was a criminal case. The lawsuits will be a civil matter. He could have been found not guilty in the criminal case and lose the civil lawsuits. Different burdens of proof n all that. So being found guilty doesn't matter much in this case.

I think the video evidence of him actually doing it is going to hurt him more than the utterance of a plea.

While I can agree that McGregor has acted the bollix for quite a while he is an angel compared to Khabib. He is good friends with Ramzan Kadyrov for petes sake. Conor made a show of himself in New York but he isn't that bad.

Yea but I don't care about what khabib does, I just wanna like Conor again! Also lets not forget Conor has been prancing around with Putin saying he is a great world leader. Spanners!

I knew a guy once who took a lot of cocaine and became stupid as a result.

Yea me too man. What he said about Aldo and his team gave me hope. I dont think him taking a pic with Putin is as bad as Khabib being bankrolled by Kadyrov now in fairness but Putin is a dick so you're right in that respect.

Agricola

I doubt he's given Putin's politics very much thought.....

Also he's a marketing genius. Of course he's going to get a pic with Putin and mention how great he is under it. The only bad publicity is no publicity and all that.

So basically you don't know, glad we cleared that one up.

You need to have a reason......


Khabib is good on the ground, he is strong and from the fights I have watched he does have a robustness like Diaz...



BUT.......


His standup is really messy he literally puts his head down and comes swinging in.


My prediction is Conor will finish this fight in the first round, I actually put this as an easier fight for Conor than Diaz and Alvarez, if Khabib survives Conor's striking until the end of the third round.... Then Conor might be in trouble.... Khabib had taken 6 decisions from the last 10 fights... He is not a strong finisher....



That is assuming Conor shows up..... And I mean is actually fight ready after such a break.

No I don't..........

But just for you.....

My reason is - because I believe it to be so.


Let's revisit this in a few months and see what's what. Russians are tough fcukers. Even an untrained one is dangerous. They are like travellers, they don't give up. Conor does. Conor has him all day on the feet but when it goes to the ground he's done. Khabib won't care about putting on a show and going punch for punch with Conor. He will get it to the ground as early as possible and maul Conor like a little girl.

Conor was well controlled by Chad on the mat and Khabib has a weight and skill advantage over Chad.

We'll see..........

And as we have seen from the Diaz fight, McGregor will tap as soon as possible. There is no going out on your shield with McGregor, all mouth no trousers. Diaz had barely locked in when he was tapping like Fred Astaire.

lol what nonsense. tapping is a lot better than "going out on your shield". Both are a loss but one could have him out on a medical suspension or worse for who knows how long.

Boom_Bap

Tapping is also what any good BJJ coach will teach you to do in your first lesson.

Ignoring the russians are tough nonsense... This is the kind of things non trained fighters say.

I think Chad would beat Khabib, I think he is a better wrestler and a better striker but it would be hard to call.

Khabib has not fought enough top fighters yet..... I think he will look ordinary against Conor.

Diaz is a tough dude, took more punishment than most, his face was a complete mess in both fights.... Conor beat himself I feel in the first fight, he tried to finish early and gassed.

What about the effect of his cocaine habit, could tire him out quicker.
I hope the knackbag loses anyway.

The cartilage in his nose will have eroded somewhat allowing him to take bigger intakes of air. It should double his cardio abilities.

Plus there may be a few congealed clingers of marching powder in his snhozzle that he manages to loosen up during his fight, so that and his extra air intake will make him a superhero.
