Depends on whether or not he's arrested. I've just seen the footage of him putting the trolly through the window. That's fairly clear cut, but if that's not the one that injures your man then he might not get arrested and charged if UFC own the bus.

If he's not charged, I reckon a suspension is coming and that'll help them negotiate a fight in late 2018 or early 2019.

If he's arrested and banned from entering the US ever again the UFC won't really have a choice but to drop him. My feeling is right now the company still need him more than he needs them, but they'd love to even that up a bit.

Does getting arrested itself cause a ban from entering the US? I thought one had to be actually found guilty and convicted, not merely arrested or charged?

You'd need a conviction for specific crimes to lose entry rights.

Not sure, but I'd imagine he would be found guilty and convicted because there's a million different video recordings.

And I only came on here tonight to see if there were any updates on Jon Jones' skinny legs..

Suggesting it is libellous however.

Not if not outright claiming he is, purely speculation on what's gotten into him said it couldn't be ruled out.

Are we allowed to criticise fighters now?

Worth pointing out that Dana said earlier in one of the videos:

"I don't know if he's on drugs or what his deal is..."

Can we really blame anyone for speculating about it when even his own employer is wondering the same thing?

Ah jaysus, you've clearly never met the lads from from the various estates around Dublin. They don't need any encouragement for that.

Honestly, he could've been on something, but I really wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't. The lads want to be OG, want to look like a posse who can get away with anything. McGregor's done this sort of stuff completely sober without thinking twice, he thinks it's a gang war between him and Khabib and not pulling the trigger on something like this would show weakness.

That's the mindset, there doesn't need to be drugs involved.

How do you know he done it sober?

backspin.

I wouldn't bank on it. Dana was livid.

Best of all solutions for Dana is if Conor gets sued to sh*t and has to go back fighting in the years to come to make back the money. Dana was interviewed earlier and he talked a lot about Conor getting sued after this.

how much is this going to cost him outside the lawsuits that are inevitable, reduced negotiating position with the UFC etc?
no sponsor will want to touch him with that thug vid out there launching the trolley at the bus window.
no more BK Whoppers for McNugget.

This. I always find it amusing when this happens that people start wondering how he could possibly do this... He's a ****ing thug, that's what he does, he breaks people and hurts people for living, it's why he's good at it.

It's hardly like people expected Tyson to be saint just because he came into the spotlight.

McGregor is McGregor, why are people expecting something different? You get what you see.

Hell, Ali was no saint either.

Stop expecting combat sport stars to be heroes or role models. They're not. The best ones out there are killers generally, the Diaz' and McGregors of the world.

Max Holloway seems like a decent fella.

The only person I feel sorry for in this situation is Axwell, he's gonna have a stroke when he logs back on and sees all these comments.

That's not how libel works...

He's one of the biggest clowns in history.

Fair point but you'd assume he was sober when threw those cans considering how much he's tested in and around events.

He's gas, I like him and his attitude, but he also lives a bit of a troubled life IIRC.

Not saying there's no role models btw, guys like Wonderkid etc.. but for me, the best of the best are absolutely violent, twisted men. So long as combat sports involve hurting your opponent to win and causing damage to another man to win, you'll always have that element.

If you want role models, go watch Rugby.

this would have been the wiser (and cheaper) option

Why? Why does it matter if coke shows up in his system a few days before a fight?

Huh? Are you being serious?

Maybe go ask Jon Jones...

Surely if he's arrested for this his career is over, no more fighting in the US.

Jaysis, imagine if Wonderfullife was still posting in here? He'd have a stroke.

Why doest he post anymore ?

I’ve heard rumours that the US can be quite litigious.

Yeah there will be suits in for mental trauma and PTSD and anything else you can think of.

I don't know if he's on drugs isn't a false statement surely.
