3 fights Saturday night have now been cancelled because of Conor.

Chiesa/Pettis is off because of Chiesa's cuts and his weight cut was thrown off by the trip to the hospital, he lost too much time.

Borg/Moreno is off because Borg started to experience problems with his eye from broken glass.

Lobov is already off for obvious reasons, and Caceras will not get a last-minute opponent.

WWF-esque promotion here. Connor and Dana laughing their asses off.

I wish there was some heavyweight on the bus who didn't give a shit and had gotten off and beat Conor within an inch of his life.

Thats your opinion, and you are very entitled to it. But i would bet the house that this doesnt have any long term effects on his career.

I actually disagree. I’d bet he’s suspended a year. And that’s if he doesn’t get hit with a felony and loses his travel visa

Conor has been arrested and will be charged with assault.

From a quick lookup of NY laws, the possible charge is either 2nd degree assault (3-7 years prison), or 3rd degree assault (0-1 year jail). Its not clear to me which type of assault Conor's case falls under.

kstater 04-05-2018 09:33 PM

The problem Conor is gonna have, is prosecutors have 0 reason to give a plea. They have him on video clear as day throwing the dolly through a window that injures people.

ok, i found out that the difference in NY law is that 2nd degree assault requires intent to cause serious physical harm. 3rd degree doesn't require intent, just recklessly use a weapon or dangerous object and end up hurting someone. 3rd degree assault is not going to be a problem to prove since they have 5 or 6 videos, but 2nd degree assault might be tricky.

We'll see. Him being actually charged changes everything - however i still think this will be a set back, not a career killer.

As for the card, it took a hit. The PPV is not as good, though probably still average. The prelims also suffer a bit without the Borg/Moreno fight.
