The Conor McGregor Show

[3rd_n_inches]

Was listening to a lawyer being interviewed on the radio today - an independent expert. Was asked if McGregor is risking being barred from entering the US due to a criminal record. Downplayed the seriousness - said it would all be resolved via minimal compensation as nobody was seriously injured. Mentioned a figure of 10k. No risk of McGregor being convicted of anything serious.

Could have some merit. Was the 10k a fee he was wiling to charge? Attorneys downplay just about every legal situation though especially when it is high profiled. I would rather Conor be able to fight in the US at the end of the day tbh.

Khabib responded to a fighter criticizing him in a interview. Khabib let the kid walk with a warning. Everything was on video and am I kinda suprised people see how Khabib responded as out of line. Artem Lobov is 13-14 as a fighter you can’t call someone what he did (Lobov is Russian) and not think the Russians won’t respond. They don’t really care how crazy Conor acts they might be just a little bit crazier at the end of the day. The name calling then crying wolf when somebody responds is only justified in the PC culture fellas the real world doesn’t operate that way. Conor needs to leave the powder alone

If Khabib had went to Artim (Is that how you spell it? I'm not sure) 1 on 1 and had words with him then I'm totally with what you're professing for Khabib.

That isn't what he did. He took a bunch of his buddies with him and surrounded 1 guy. Stop with this narrative that he's some sort of tough guy for what he did. He was a punk, a bully, and a thug.

He acted like a fool to get a rise out of Conor. There is nothing more to it than that. He wanted to get a reaction out of Conor and he got one. A really stupid, dangerous, and foolish one but he got one none the less.

What Khabib did was stupid. It was irresponsible and it was nothing more than a bully tactic to get someone else's attention.

They're both idiots for the way they handled their situations. They were both wrong with the way they handled their situations. They both look like stupid thugs with the way they handled their situations.

Khabib should not get a pass, does not deserve a pass, and will not get a pass from me for his stupid behavior. Just like Conor doesn't.

Which I know in the grand scheme of their lives, and everyone else's, means zero but I don't care.

I think Khabib “talking” to Artem Lobov showed some sort of class considering he was with his camp and could have really done more than just talk. I would watch the video and see the Russian translation when you get a chance.

If someone feels comfortable enough behind a camera they need to feel comfortable enough in any situation to stand by what they say.

Nothing criminally serious.....but wait for the avalanche of civil lawsuits. This is going to cost him millions in attorney fees alone.............which the UFC should probably pick up since he just got them publicity they can't buy and the ammo for a mega fight.

I think Kabib has been pretty classy. He even let his opponent stand and fight a round on saturday trying to give the crowd a good fight. He's been asking to fight Conner for years. But, Conner only fights for big pay days. Well, problem solved. Conner vs Kabib is going to be HUGE in large part due to the publicity this arrest is getting for Kabib. . No way the UFC doesn't make it happen.

I was shocked to see how well Khabib treated Al in the ring and how much respect he showed Al and his team then see people trash him like he made Conor do all this lol. Thanks for the post!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

To each their own my good people. It wasn't classy, or respectful, to surround the guy. He wasn't showing how much respect he had he was being a punk. That's how I see it, I'm sorry no love for Khabib is going to change my mind on that.

He wanted to act like a bully to incite a reaction and he got what he wanted, probably to a much larger degree then he ever expected.

He doesn’t need a ground game.. He just needs to stuff takedowns..

The layoff is a factor.

Khabib doesn’t look well rounded though. Just an overhyped wrestler. Stuff his takedowns and he’ll get smashed.

Almost nobody has stuffed his takedowns. He'd ragdoll McGregor and beat him to a pulp on the ground. Unless McGregor knocks him out in the first 30 seconds Khabib destroys him.

Let me put it this way - McGregor doesn't look well rounded. Just an overhyped kickboxer. Take him down and he'll get smashed.

He better ragdoll Mcgregor because if he can’t get him down it will be over quick.

I’m sure McGregor has spent countless amount of time working on his takedown defense too and that’s why Alvarez’s wrestling was a non factor.

IMO Chael is 99% correct in his assessment. His only error is that from what people have translated Lobov didn't do much other than deny and wheedle and try not to admit that he called Khabib a female body part.

Im fixing to watch the video you posted. I watched this one about an hour or so ago regarding Rogans commentary of the fight. It is interesting seeing biased Rogan was being towards Khabib during the fight.

I was under the impression Khabib was responding to Artem due to an interview Lobov gave where he in fact called Khabib a “female body part”. Chael did say he did not what they were saying but the video I watched was translated to my knowledge and was geared towards the Artem interview. I agree with Chael though he seems to see through the biased speculation on Conors retaliation.

I saw the Lobov interview and he definitely did say it. Or more accurately he put it in the form of a question,"He's always hurt, is he a <p word>?" Then when confronted by Khabib he just kept saying that he didn't say that, which I suppose is accurate in a politico speak sort of way. He asked it, he didn't say it. But the message was clear.

Now McGregor's friends who run the website (and who opened the door to let McGregor in) will lose their media credentials, Lobov will be cut from the UFC and they'll likely think hard before signing anyone else who's friends with McGregor. So yeah, he did a great job showing his loyalty.

Kind of like what Chad Mendes, the best wrestler in the UFC did right? That turned out well for him? Lol please. Connor knocks the Russian phoney out in the first.

Chad had about 14 hours to get ready for the fight, might be why he gassed so badly in round 2. Nah, I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. And Chad is a legit 145er, the guy is like 5' 6, Nurmagamedov is much bigger and stronger than him, he'll take Connor down like Chad did in round 1 - it only took Chad 5 seconds to secure a takedown - and Connor will never get up without assistance.
