The Conor McGregor Thread

That's the usual 'hold me back' bravado that these dopes engage in every weekend.. usually with no repercussions. Picked the wrong crowd for his hard man act this time.

Absolute pack of louts.

I saw it in Boston when McMuffin fought the German guy a few years ago. I was in a bar with my wife and work colleagues of hers watching the Patriots game that was on before the fight. A crowd of lads from Limerick came in and started mouthing off and goading loads of Americans that were having their dinner watching the football. Lads shadow boxing and leering at women going to the toilets. One of them passed some remark about an American guys daughter and all hell broke loose. It was embarrassing and the Limerick lads threw a few punches, launched a few glasses across the bar wrecking the place and then scarpered. Security got a couple of them and gave them a right hiding before sending them on their way.

The crowd that follow McMuffin are dangerous make no bones about it. They’re full of drink and god knows what else and they’ve got their McMuffin attitudes front and centre. His fake, trash talking carry on is deemed acceptable by these apes any time they follow him to one of his fights and they leave a bad taste in the mouth of those that remain once they’re gone. Vegas can tolerate it to a certain degree because it’s a mad place in general but the carry on of these guys in a city such as Boston isn’t well received because as loud and as crass as the Americans can be, they’re generally respectful and respect usually wins the day and these guys have none when they go abroad.

Just throwing this question out there,
I don't follow MMA,but had an interest in McGregor.
In sporting pretext what will happen to McGregor's carrier in MMA after this defeat is it hard to come back from it.
Seen a lot of boxers carriers end after one defeat, different spot I know.
Just wondering

This "sport" really is indicative of the rot in modern Western culture: decadent, ugly and without a shred of honour. Both competitors, their entourages and their fans should be ashamed of themselves.

A lot easier to come back from a defeat in MMA than boxing, with the different styles it's a lot more common for top fighters to have picked up a few losses in their career.
A rematch with Khabib or Diaz 3 will do big business for McGregor, not sure there's many other matches he'd want or get enough money for.

Scott Tenorman

After the fight McGregor reaped what he had sown.

If you say offensive stuff to someone don't be surprised if they get offended.
If you try to wind someone up don't be surprised that they get wound up.

Has to be said the brawl is extremely bad publicity for the sport. The winning competitor diving into the crowd and brawling with people, others physically attacking the losing competitor. It's making it seem like a thuggish, violent sport with a load of yobs at its core (this type of incident would be atrocious publicity for any sport).

This statement belongs in the same category as someone saying boxing is fake, the earth is flat or magic is real. Living in a dream world must be nice

I was up in croke park years back and after Offaly got beaten the drunk supporters totally wrecked upstairs of the big tree pub. Glasses and tables flying. That's the gaa crowd for you. Boozed up yobs. The sport should be banned

A great day for Balls, from picking through the thrash of Conor McGregor’s tweet to picking through this thrash now, they’ll milk it for all it’s worth.

Hope the lad is ok though, but that looked like the difference between a guy throwing a drunk punch and a guy throwing a proper punch.

the amount of irish lads throwing karate stance shapes after it is gas.

absolute morons

Acts the tough-guy but goes down faster than a cheap hooker - what a knob.

He's pretty bizarre, excellent showman, decent family oriented type, extremely hardworking talented guy. Scratch beneath the surface and he's anything but a scumbag. It's just nobody wants to say they're embarrassed by him being loud and uncouth, because that sounds lame and snobby.

im as irish as the next person but mcgregor doesnt represent me. He is a foul mouted knacker who was disgusting at his press conference with his filthy language. what message does that send out to all the young kids watching this? he insulted khabib, his religion, his dad. Delighted he got the head boxed off himself and hopefully we wont have to put up much longer with the obnoxious prick and his rantings much longer.

That their parents are fcuking idiots without the merest shred of responsibility?

Wow that is so good to watch. Not once but twice he got dropped by the boys in black. Look at all the Irish goading them and they just stood their ground knowing full well that 6 or 7 of them could handle 100 Irish. That clown that got dropped should have learned his lesson the first time he got clattered.

The guy that got knocked out should be on the Late Late and have the full show for an interview.

On the whole McGregor's street cred took a hammering. Where were McGregor plane load of goons when he was getting battered by Khabibs goons right after he got battered by Khabib.

Idiots.
Delighted to see yer man getting his nose rearranged.

Classic scumbag behaviour, thinks because he has strength in numbers that he can behave however he likes. Got exactly what he deserved, and might think twice before acting like that again.

God, the cringe watching those lads jumping around.

Comedy gold is the guy slipping over himself in the puddle of beer, just seconds before his buddy gets knocked unconscious.

I wasn't sure from the short clips released whether the Russians or Irish started it but its clear the Russians just stood their ground.

I wish all those mouth breathers would record video in landscape. Looks far better on the big TV.

Such behaviour is appalling, so I wouldn't class it as a sport. Just mindless thuggery.

bnt

You call that a brawl? There were more people filming than fighting.

I believe it was one of Isaac Asimov's characters who put it thus: "violence is the last refuge of the incompetent". :rolleyes:

DrPhilG

There's no doubt that McGregor is a classless clown. Also no doubt that Khabib let himself down a bagful.

And finally there is no doubt that lots of the Irish fans in Vegas made arses of themselves last night.

But I would hazard a guess that the asshole fans were a minority. I've been to 2 international events where McGregor fought, UFC 189 in Vegas and UFC 205 in New York. By and large the fans were well behaved and in good humour, just like the Irish football/soccer fans are when they travel for big tournaments.

It irritates me that people pigeon hole all Irish MMA fans as scumbags and thugs. It also annoys me that people think MMA in Ireland didn't exist before McGregor hit the big time.

McGregor came through the local Irish MMA scene to reach the top. That scene existed before he hit the big time and it will exist long after he has retired.

Fans like me followed the sport around the world long before the "McGregor era" too and I will continue to do so.

And for those wondering... I'm 39, have a job, no tattoos, don't own a tap-out shirt and I don't drink. Sorry if I don't fit your stereotype. (I do have a shaved head but that's to hide the bald spot...)
