Conor McGregor

[jmcgdoire]

He'd get a lot more votes than people think I reckon.

Would he feck. He'd be a bigger laughing stock than he is now (if that's possible). Who, unless you've lost all grasp on reality, would vote for him?

I think (sadly) plenty of people would. A lot of people thought the same about Trump in the early stages of the 2016 election and when there was a possibility he'd run again in 2024.

Naw I don't see it. IMO he would get negligible votes if he was ever able to stand. A few years ago he may have had a bit of a following. But the majority of that has dropped of. He's a sc**bag. A very unlikeable one at that.

I'd hope that anyone with a vote sees him for the sc**bag he is. But I reckon there seems to be a decent chunk of them who support his outspoken anti-immigration stance regardless. Ironically they might think voting for conor f**king mcgregor will sort out their perceived problems.

I see he's only got 9k signatures on his change.org petition.

It only seems decent chunk because they are so vocal online. I think the actual % is small.

That's Yanks for ya.

Look the poor votes for National Party and the likes in elections. Most don't even get their deposits back. McGregor will make A LOT of noise, amplified by bots and people from UK and USA who don't understand what the Irish president can do.

Plus, you will have every decent news outlet, and not just the clickbait crews, reporting on him as they also need the clicks. Again lots of noise and then they will kick up stink and conspiracy if he doesn't get the support to go for it.

Sadly there are a lot of young lads who love their coke and their gym who think he's a great lad. 

[Wildweasel74]

How many does he need get on the petition?  We thought the same craic with Hutch and look were that nearly landed. Some nerve on him after the rape issue, thumping people in bar/nightclubs, vugular steady profanities in most sentences. Various indecent proposals,  sending dick pics out of the blue, the obvious heavy drug and coke issue. More a candidate for a early grave rather than Irish Presidency. Bet the house Trump, fool that he is , give some sort of recommendation.

He can petition away. Has no legal basis

But he won't get on the ballot, so I can't see the mainstream media paying much heed to what he says

[Rossfan]

Supreme Court won't allow him any more appeals against the rape finding.

[Truthsayer]

Not a popular opinion but pics of McGregor and Tyson... strange how Tyson, a convicted rapist, remains such a popular figure. I suppose him and McGregor do have that in common... yes I know McGregor found liable not convicted in a criminal court.

[Dag Dog]

At long last, McGregor is tying the knot in Rome today!
Will he change his ways after finding God?

[Brendan]

Plenty of priests wont marry you if you have wains out of wedlock yet headquarters is allowing him with his history to get married there? Not like they need the money to drop their morals

His UFC return ended after 69 seconds with knee injury.

Was it a setup or did he fight on a bad knee.

Seen a claim he earned $30 M from it. Any truth?

[Look-Up!]

I'd believe the money bit but not the setup.

If he had a bad knee he wouldn't have been trying that kamikaze kick to begin with. He'd have tried going toe to toe, protect knee as best he could and hope to get lucky with a good punch.

I'd say he was full of adrenaline, got over excited, misjudged and landed awkward. Coupled with the fact that he's not 26 anymore and the body lacking impact conditioning and joint lubrication probably about 75% whiskey.
