I haven't seen a thread about this yet so apologies if I missed one. Been charged with 3 counts of assault and one of criminal mischief in New York after him and team attacked the bus of another fighter!

How can you let him out in 20 years if you've thrown away the key?

He kicks, punches, knees and elbows people's heads in for a living... so why are people shocked?

Its like training a dog to be a fighter, but being shocked and disappointed when it bites someone

All MMA fighters go around misbehaving then? Idiotic thing to say. Lots of intelligent,kind down to earth people are pro MMA fighters, as it now pays good money and can be enjoyable.

Didn't know who this guy was until he entered the boxing ring. Seems to be an obnoxious two hat. You'd think losing that match would knock him down a peg or two.

Yes!

Lot's of cases of professional UFC fighters misbehaving.

Some are entertainers who are intelligent,kind & down to earth. But most are born and bred fighters.

Edit: I am a massive MMA fan. Including making the effort to stay up to watch all of McGregor's fights (so my points are more in his defence instead of being against him). He's a fighter who wanted to defend his friend and ... FIGHT

McGregors actions has destroyed the UFC card, 3 fights pulled from the card already due to his actions. The main and co-main look unlikely to happen, the real punishment for Mcgregor would be to make him fight Khabib for the title on short notice.

Khabib doesn't need Mcgregor to have his hands tied, tying Khabibs hands and feet would at least make it competitive.

Needs a nice cup of tea. And a hobby, like painting. Or embroidery.

The problem with the likes of McGregor is the millions that fall for all the commercial hype that he and his sort create for publicity.

Sadly, boxing seems to be following the lead of MMA and all the furore it whips up pre fight. Just bloody fight and cut out all the shite.

McGregor v Lesnar would be an amazing Wrestlemania match. Though, if Brock is allowed a pass on juicing, it's only fair we pump Conor full of HGH, too.

This is exactly the rep that 'cage fighting' unfortunately has.

As a martial artist myself - namely submission wrestling I can assure you that most are not like this.

Mixed martial arts has come along way and really tried to get away from the label of 'cage fighting'.

The cage is their for fighter safety namely; so they don't fall out of the ring!

Honestly the training batters your ego, literally. Training with people that are better than you and you having to tapout multiple times, It kills your ego, if it doesn't you generally don't get better.

Please try and get out of this mindset.
I suggest watching a documentary called 'choke' - a story about Rickson Gracie - a legendary jiujitsu fighter. You will enjoy it I promise.

It's all scripted by the UFC. That's why they had the cameras rolling while it all happened. They're taking a page from the WWE because their ratings are down.

It's the complete other way around, Floyd ''Money'' Mayweather made a career from talking s*** way before the UFC really existed. Muhammed Ali was the ultimate entertainer, he paved the way for all fighters from all sports to make a career from talking sh**.

Whether you like it or not, the fake s**t talk hypes up a fight and sells tickets which bring added income. If Mcgregor didn't talk s**t he'd be the standard UFC fighter on standard pay, now he's a world superstar billionaire despite not being the greatest fighter. Mcgregor managed to talk himself into a boxing match against Mayweather which added over £100M to his bank account.

The UFC and Boxing are very much entertainment driven sports, sometimes the actual build up and sh** talk is more entertaining than the fight itself. Personally I enjoy the build up dependant on the fighter involved. One of the greatest ass talking moments ever, Adrien Broner ''I left with the belt and your girl''

Yeah great conspiracy theory but it doesn't stack up. Are you telling me the UFC purposely injured their own signed fighters and destroyed their own big PPV show to stage an illegal act? What about Mcgregors court appearance? his friends bail was set at 25k, is that fake and staged too? There is multiple reasons why it obviously wasn't scripted in any way.

It's really not funny though, I'm almost sure Mcgregors own company filmed the entire thing. A bus full of fighters at a press conference full of journalists, is it really surprising the thing was caught on film?

Why did Mcgregor's friend appear in court and get bail set at 25k?
Why would UFC fighters allow the UFC to stage something like that?

The fighters have been in expensive training camps preparing for a fight to get paid, now a bunch of them aren't even fighting. The fighters simply wouldn't stand for it and nor would the UFC call the police on him if it was staged. Mcgregor paid 50k to get bail, he may never be allowed in the US again, that would hurt the UFC definitely not benefit.
