The Official UFC Thread

[Don Johnson]

Yet anything he does is still bigger news than any other UFC fighter who has fought in the last year and a half.

[gallsman]

Are people under the impression that this is somehow a good thing, that he's in the news for acting the maggot rather than actually fighting?

[Taylor]

He is a kn**ker and a sc**bag, even a complete dick but he certainly isn't irrelevant.

Garners more column inches than any other fighter in UFC and no matter what, Dana needs him more than he needs Dana.

This UFC card has went from being just another one to one that will get massive attention and therefore will now get $$$$$$ which it would never have got otherwise especially as punters were unlikely to pay for Wrestlemania and UFC in same weekend

No it wont

ANte Diaz has an interesting slant on it... in plain english

Khabib cornered Conor's friend Artem with a group of lads like a bully. What do you expect Conor and his group of lads would do when they arrived.
And then the bully hid on the bus and got bullied himself....

We look at these things sometimes through different lenses.  The Diaz brothers and their "crew" fight outside the cage all the time. Honour and loyalth are everything.  McGregor and the SBG boys are the same. Stockton is very much like Crumlin maybe in the mentality of the people?

I'm not excusing the behavioour in any way - but maybe Diaz isn't far off the mark...

When Artem was solo and McGregor's gang wasn't in town.... kind of makes sense on their level Gabe?

I don't know who is who in that video - but doesn't look like he's by himself.



Absolutely no-one comes out of this looking good at all

According to wee Davy Thompson on Twitter  it was a load of Everton fans with him!

3 of this weekend's fights are off:

Lobov pulled from the card by UFC
Chiesa injured by shattered glass
Borg got glass in his eyes


That's quite the outcome of McGregor's actions

Found it interesting that a fellow UFC fighter would, off the bat, say "Lol of course he's on drugs!! McGregor so coked out of his mind he probably don't even know where he is right now"

And him a UFC ambassador too!!
Radio NewYorkside have banned him for the year

[gallsman]

The usual SBG numbskull lackeys were there. Charlie Ward, Cian Cowley etc. I'm impressed Ward managed to get through the thing without knocking himself out.

[Taylor]

McGregor has been charged with assault and criminal mischief. To appear in court later today
