Official Conor McGregor thread (part 5) *Read Mod Note in Post 1*

Honestly, how easy is it to actually sue someone living and based in another continent. McGregor would never be obliged to return to the US. So is there a fair chance he could 'get away with it financially'?

Michael Chiesa is fine, sounds like a scratch more than a cut

He'll be picking glass out of his beard for the next few weeks.

I'd imagine he'll have a lot of assets in the US. No way he sent 100m back to aib. If he's sued that will be frozen until the case is over.

Okay, sorry.

No, you can't test for cocaine in competition.

There's a fair few decent human beings in there to be fair

I'd wager the vast majority of them are thoroughly decent individuals.

john jones leaves actual drug paraphernalia at the scene of a potentially serious crash involving a then injured pregnant woman, he ****ed off and left a woman for dead as far as he knew at the time....and he fought again... he's been in and out more times than george michael in terms of the UFC ...and still he fought again... the only difference is here, Dana kinda kept alot of **** under the mat.

here it seems as though he's purposely trying to send a message to conor, you're done..notice he wasn't asked about drug influence, he actually didn't need to be prompted.I reckon it went sour with the UFC some time ago and his number was up. Conor knew he was finished and just thought he;d get closure on khabib being that he;ll never get him in the ring.

I dunno, UFC have been keen to get McGregor back in the ring, using all sorts of tricks to force him into taking a deal.

More than likely they're strengthening their bargaining weight by throwing him under the bus... the bus he idiotically destroyed. Say they're delighted. Or will be once things settle.

I just spoke to @TeamKhabib. Story coming.

Taste:

“I am laughing inside. You broke window? Why? Come inside. If you real gangster why don’t you come inside? This is big history gangster place. Brooklyn. You want to talk to me? Send me location. I am going to come. No problem.”

I love how it's actually written in a Russian accent.

This. I've met tonnes of fighters and have had almost zero negative experiences. Even a fella like Masvidal, who you think might be a prick, was actually a gentleman.

yeah...what beaver says times 2 ???? explain, what tricks yo?

Vast majority of fight week is out of competition, the antics you are referring to which Conor previously participated in were out of competition.

In-competition refers to the period commencing twelve hours before a competition in which the athlete is scheduled to participate through the end of the competition and the sample collection process related to the competition.

Maybe tricks isn't the right word, but they've been very public about if Conor doesn't agree to a fight before X time then the Khabib v Tony fight is a belt decider, then closer to the fight confirmation they're taking his belt, basically doing everything to publically shame him into defending a belt.

From the video that TMZ showed from inside the bus, looks like none of them had a clue what was going on until after the window was smashed. A very audible "it's McGregor, is Conor. What the **** is wrong with him?!"

Huh, sorry, did not know that.

EDIT: Altho if there's cocaine still in his blood during the sample collection process is it not going to be a negative result?

Probably cos there was 20+ of them I'd imagine, and he has a fight in a few days. One he'll be paid for.

Big difference between the Jones car incident and what McGregor has done.

Jones's one was of pure stupidity but McGregor's is of intended agro.

Bags of cocaine and fake Louis Vuitton watches on the ground, 25m apart, all the way from Crumlin to Las Vegas.

Was this the same driver that was bringing you to the fight you told us book our flights to?

Absolute bluster. He hasn't fought in the UFC or come close to fighting in 18 months. They sacrificed the integrity (or what remained of it) of their organisation to allow him fight Mayweather so everyone could get paid. It's not about "publicly shaming" into anything.

The "Conor McGregor is such a martyr" line is one I never thought I'd hear.

I never said I was going, I just said the fight was going to happen. And it was.
