No I didn't...i gave an explanation for why he might do what he did...is it really that out there that he might have stirred up this trouble to make a few million quid extra from a fight rather than just going so save his buddy???

Yes. Very much so. He was already going to be naming his price for his comeback fight. This stunt would not have made him money. He was only ever losing money from this even before it went this far.

Conor McGregor knows how to generate interest and doesn’t need to hype fights by attacking buses in hotel car parks for it to be recorded on mobile phones.

You can cling to the notion that he was trying to build up interest in a fight if you want but it’s just plain silly to think that.

According to some NBC reporter he is in custody right now :pac:

Jason must be the UFC employee with the broken hand. Weigh ins should be very interesting, starting in 8 hours.

In the meantime, let's go to our man on the ground with the latest info. Ariel, what's the situation there where you are?

This situation is just completely mental. After getting three fights cancelled, I really can't see Conor coming back to the UFC on good terms

He’s a scumbag - simple as.

Three fights cancelled now, UFC will sue him for loss of earnings. Barclay ground staff, security, basically anyone on the bus will want a piece of him. He’ll lose his deals with Reebok, Beats by Dre, Burger King etc and if convicted won’t be allowed enter the US again

Well, this will be the making of the man. Either this is finally the thing that makes him curb his actions and cut loose the hangers on known as his ‘entourage’ or he’ll be in a cell or a lot worse come this time five years.

There was no plan for this. This was pure and utter scumbaggery of the highest order. He deserves everything he gets. What an idiot.

Charlie Ward will pay you a visit for disrespecting his homeboy

McGregor is blessed that yoke he threw hit a panel between the windows of the bus otherwise we may have been looking at a serious casualty.

The guy has had some career but has **** for brains at times.

Sugarlumps

He's turned into Al Capone with his trusted goon squad. Yet another pathetic display.

John_D80

Can we get a poll up for his bail amount??

I’m guessing 30,000.

threeball

I reckon he wanted out of his contract after they stripped him yesterday and decided to use the artem thing as an excuse. Because his ilk can do this deal in Ireland and get no more than a slap on the wrist he's dopey enough to not figure that the US is a little different.

If I was the UFC I'd cancel the event and sue him the 60 or so million in loss of earnings. Other lawsuits would come on top. There will be people they passed on the way back to the car sueing him. It's going to be gas

The pigeon-brain posse.

That includes McGregor

Rossi IRL

I use to be a big fan of his but this is the final straw for me.

He has been getting worse and worse and I reckon its alot to do with that gang of little tag alongs that follow him everywhere.

I still want to see him do well as an Irish man but I certainly won't be getting up to watch any future fights of his at 3 in the morning, that is of course if there is more fights.

pudzey101

So he flew from ireland to New York just to confront Khabib for harassing artem. Literally flew across the Atlantic Ocean to throw stuff at a bus ,

Not sure if a stupid loyalty thing or a smart move to make him and khabib the biggest PPV to date

Obviously it was step 62 in the master plan. It's all planned out.
The man's a genius businessman as has been said here before.
It's all to promote his hand-truck company that he's about to launch. He'll take over the market.
Charlie Ward is set to be announced as chief operating officer, with McGregor as CEO obv

This could be serious for Conor

This happened in America where they don't **** around.
He can expect serious lawsuits from everyone on the bus and that's besides criminal charges. He's looking a ton of felonies. Assault with a deadly weapon, gbh, maybe even attempted murder.

Especially in NY where they still have Guilliani’s zero tolerance policy.

"Pathetic", oh stop being so precious, and naive.

Ofcourse the UFC would heap the pressure on him to make him look like he's unwilling to defend his belt. Anything to get him back into the ring on agreeable terms. That's not a conspiracy, it's just how the fight game has always been promoted, even pre-MMA.

It was pathetic. You've rowed back from "tricks" and "publicly shaming" to "anything to get him back into the ring on agreeable terms".

Another way to describe that would be "negotiating" but that wouldn't fit with your "poor Conor is such a victim" narrative.

Just been texting one of my friends who is very high up in RTE. He says the word at montrose is that they will be stripping McGregor of his 2016 Sportsperson of the year award. Said the chiefs there never wanted to give it to him and were very miffed when he didn't show up. Execs voting on it tomorrow morning.

Hopefully it is awarded to someone more deserving retrospectively.

My mate in RTE is higher up than your mate in RTE and he said your mate's lost the vote and the award is staying with Conor.

Yep, someone should tell him US courts aren't like Irish courts, they don't tolerate that sh1t.

He’s already been charged. Not quite a ton of felonies though.

One felony: mischief
Two x misdemeanor: assault and reckless endangerment.

Did you get then mixed up?
"Mischief" is a felony?
