The WWE will also call him up in minutes if he becomes free and available.

Dana ain't gonna do shit to Conor, everybody knows that.

Chiesa is still going to fight.

If he's having trouble with the cut, then the UFC and New York should just sanction the fight at a catchweight. Everyone will understand.

what does a few cuts on the face have to do with weight

Sassy Squatch 04-05-2018 03:56 PM

Helwani says it's all about the beef between Khabib and Artem. If Conor and Khabib ever do fight, the money made will be ****ing insane.

Can't really cut weight effectively if you're laying in a hospital bed getting treated for cuts from glass.

Conor injured one of the UFC VP's.

I was a big McGregor fan until hearing about this and watching the video after work today... **** that cocky mick, some UFC heavweight needs to catch him backstage at the next event and whip his ass

I was talking to a few people about how this compares to Jon Jones, this is a hell of a lot worse. It might not be worse in terms of what level of felony or potential legal punishment, but it is significantly worse in two very important ways. First, there was no real malice in most of Jon Jones' ****ups, in all times for the most part he meant no harm but was making bad decisions that may have eventually put people in danger. We can forgive that.

Secondly, Jon Jones is easy to like even when he's a little bit of a jerk to some of his opponents, but Conor is quickly turning into an unlikable asshole, and its a really bad look to charge in with his own personal ****ing gang. This isn't like a "heel" which you can sell, a lot of people who otherwise may have been potential fans are simply not going to be interested in watching him fight anymore, and its bad enough to potentially do damage to the UFC brand.

Conor is the greatest self promoter. He's up there with Ali.

Chiefs=Champions 04-05-2018 06:44 PM

I get what Conor did was wrong, but he's literally sticking up for a team mate, despite the horrible decision on when to do it. Its wasnt an unmotivated attack, Khabib slapped and cornered Lobov with 10 other guys - conor uniquely doesnt give a **** and here we are.

Jon jones hit and ran from a car accident with a pregnant lady. It doesnt matter about the intent - thats a scum bag move that could have been much worse.

Artem was talking shit and had it coming. Conor's entourage is full of ****s like Dillon Danis. Conor can and should not in a jail cell.

Intent is extremely important in terms of career and marketability. We can forgive what Jon Jones did quite easily, Conor gathered a posse, flew to New York with intent, and broke in the windows of a crowded bus.
