They'll have to. The fighters that were injured in this can just as easily sue the UFC for not providing a safe work environment.

that would be career suicide.

I don’t even bother watching his videos. The state of him. Let it go.

As crazy as the attack was, his escape was hilarious, with the woo hoo, it was like a villain escaping from batman in the 60's TV show.

Cowley is the bigger loser here. McGregor can f**k off on his yacht for a few week's while his mgmt team figure out how to rebuild and make money out of this situation. Cowley goes back drawing the dole after being shunned by the local parents of the kids he coached. Nowhere for him to hide.

Let me preface this post with the obligitary condemnation of McGregors latest bout of utter stupidity.....

....but on Chiesa, do we have any more pictures or reports on the severity of his cuts? I mean is it just that tiny cut on his forehead we are talking about? If so, the UFC are clearly doing their bit to ham the whole thing up.

The sad fact is that they absolutely love all this crap from mcgregor until it goes that bit too far....he's been reckless in the past, and but for blind luck could have cut people every bit as badly as chiesa appears to have been cut when he launched full cans at a crowded room at a press conference....

Mcgregor has clearly lost his ****, but he has been positively reinforced for his bad behaviour constantly, and may well still be for this in the long run....the ufc will decide to keep him around as long as it makes business sense and then discard him when it doesn't....they probably won't be that bothered by the fact that mcgregor will have one foot in the loony bin at that stage.

I'm sure many will say I'm an eejit for having any sympathy for a multimillionaire who self-destructs, but, well....I do

How are they doing they're best to ham anything up? He was cut badly enough to have a good bit of blood coming from his forehead two days before a fight. In a fight, that would reopen and worsen in seconds. No way he could or would be allowed to compete.

I couldn't tell from the video if that was the case regarding the cut....I've had quite a few glass cuts and the tiniest cut can bleed a LOT! It was also reported by Ariel that the reason he was out of the fight was cuts "and his weight cut was thrown off". That added point seems unnecessary if cut was as severe as you say.

In relation to Chiesa I personally think if it was a paper cut he has the right to try and take mcgregor to the cleaners due to the reckless and violent ****e from mcgregor, but I think the amount of coverage the event got on the embedded alone shows that the UFC are looking to benefit once again from mcgregor behaving in a way that they outwardly condemn but consistently reward. It's a winning formula for them financially, and a one way ticket to mental breakdown for McGregor.

And no, I am not for one minute trying to excuse mcgregors behaviour or blame others for his horrible actions.

Just trying to add some nuance to the 'mcgregor is a scumbag' versus 'mcgregor is a vigilante hero' argument that seems to be repeated every time he does something ridiculously stupid.

backspin.

Plus it will help in his case against McGregor when he sues him.

It's amazing that the ufc have fighters that were raised in trailer parks and from abusive backgrounds in the US, guys who grew up in favelas in Brazil literally eeking out a living, people from countries that are war torn or where violence is as much a part of daily life as waking up and yet the biggest scrote in the entire organisation comes from.... Crumlin.

Nice post. Those other guys probably have heard of humility, respect and being thankful. Also I'd say they genuinely struggled coming up, no welfare state to bail them out.

To paraphrase someone more famous than me, so he’s throwing gang signs with one hand and making balloon animals with the other??

The guy in court said there were pictures of Chiesa, Borg and the security guards injuries. Doubt any will come to light before the court case. Wouldn’t imagine evidence would be allowed be released beforehand?

How much will they get each I wonder?
When you take into account that sponsorship is now effectively gone for McGregor and the fact that he's in a weaker position with the UFC and any other prospective employers this was financially a cluster-fcuk.

Hard to tell in the US system with the whole concept of punitive damages. Could be little, could be several million altogether.

I will say that, rightly or wrongly, he's definitely Notorious.

Scrotally out of order tho.

I'm sure that the makers probably aren't too keen on the latest brand developments.

Unless he's an absolutely phenomenal fighter, this is probably the end of his meaningful career - and I'm absolutely fine with that. What's the craic with Chiesa and payment for the fight now that he can't compete? If he's lost out there, he's definitely the biggest loser for me given his crime was happening to be in the wrong seat on the bus. If that is the case, hopefully someone who can afford to decides goes out of pocket for him or the judge orders damages amounting to what he would have got for the fight if he had won and got all the additional incentives on it too.

Just think of what kind of a mood the poor guy must be in the last day or two.

I reckon he'd have a hefty claim go against McGregor, and will be either settled out of court by UFC or McGregor.

Could be the best thing for individual fighters, might push UFC to look after them a bit better.

UFC said anyone that is out of a fight because of this gets their showup pay. No bonuses.

Are you suggesting that McGregor would voluntarily compensate Chieasa? Doesn't strike me as the vulgar rogue with a heart of gold type guy.
Surely​ that would be an amount not to be sniffed at?

LollipopJimmy

I'm hugely disappointed in the behaviour of Conor and co, headline on the front of a rag today making comparisons to Paddy Jackson are just going too far. Throwing objects at a bus is not the same as passing a teenage girl around your mates and ****ing her so hard that she's left bruised and bleeding.

Anyone got an update on how the executive meeting in RTÉ went?

If he voluntarily compensated Chiesa he would go to jail for bribing a witness

In court. Bluster absent.

Thankfully he's spared that moral quandary then.

I've seen people I went to school with who publicly posted that 'The slag got what she deserved' after the Belfast trial, and defended the Ulster lads and than call McGregor a scumbag and that we shouldn't expect anything less from his type of people.

Now it was definitely scumbag behaviour from him, but it's strange how social status can affect people's perceptions of behaviour.

These two cases have nothing to do with each other and the crimes are very different in nature and the court has already ruled on one.
Whatabouterry rubbish trying to tie them together is bs

That's the point I was making tbh, it's on the front of one of the rags today though

I was addressing the other poster who just tried to make a comparison there.
