I'd expect a response sure but this was too much even for crazy Conor.

Artem shouldn't have been there considering he is fighting this weekend but I'm sure the 50k or whatever he was going to get for his fight McGregor will cut him a check for.

Well I mean he did have to one up what the Diaz brothers did to Mayhem in strikeforce. The man has a reputation to uphold. Does prove that even though he's Irish, here's definitely white trash and the money has done nothing to help.

It sounds as if almost everyone on the main card was on that bus.

According to DC, it was just the red corner fighters

also, LOL at Khabib's manager Ali, wanting to go outside and take on 20 dudes

DRK Star: why is that bad? It was on my facebook feed, and had a great video and info

Dana said the police were called. But then someone else posted that they spoke with NYPD and there was no active warrant. Any clue what is actually true?

I heard he got picked up but its probably twitternoise.

Fact is, you cant do what he did without someone calling it in.

One thing I can say for sure; he better not face the wall when he uses the phones in the tombs.

Bovada also a "Will Conor get Cut in 2018?" prop - Yes @ +150 and No @ -250


No seems like a lock. I mean, if Jon Jones' ass hasn't gotten cut...

sah_24: Luls, the CNN and MSNBC watcher said "fake news" ... hall of fame

i dont watch cnn or msnbc you LOW IQ MORNO

Total is now three fights that won't happen on Saturday thanks to this incident.

Lightweight Michael Chiesa (14-3) has since been pulled from a scheduled bout against Anthony Pettis because of facial lacerations. Flyweight Ray Borg (11-3) has been forced out of a bout against Brandon Moreno because of an eye injury. Both injuries were allegedly caused by McGregor's actions.

And McGregor's own teammate, Artem Lobov (13-14-1), has been pulled from the event because of his participation in the incident.

Not a chance in hell he gets cut. He just setup the biggest ppv in MMA history if Khabib beats Holloway. Any money he loses in lawsuits he will make in the Khabib fight and then some.

Conor is an idiot, I think he's picked up a coke habit or something like that. Sadly this crap still helps him and his drawing power. We live in a strange world.

Roids and/or punch drunk, is my guess.

What did he say after Floyd pieced him up for like half an hour?

"I underestimated your power.."?

Is there some chance this was fully premeditated to build the Khabib fight but some bad luck occured with the window breaking and resulting injuries?

He really has set the table here for a massive ppv, this shit will get played over and over. Khabib vs Conor, Russia vs Ireland. I predict 1.7m ppv's and the UFC makes this fight happen soon to capitalize on this shit show. August or September.

And to save face Lobov gets cut and the MacLife dudes lose all their future media credentials.

like i cant see it but i will say that i was surprised how much less unlikely it seemed the more i thought about it. but i still think its a bridge too far. like literally, if this was conor just trashing cars or bank windows or something id say ok, this is the new face of advertising, but he could have legit killed someone and not just any someone; the main card was in that bus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0hAcM3Q2cs

obv false flag attack. those are the same Irish hooligans from Sandy Hook, tower 7, and the moon landing

for extra bad luck, all three fighters who's fight's got cancelled were in 3 different weight classes, flyweight, featherweight, and lightweight. Couldn't even pair off the stranded fighters to face each other.

I think he really believes in 'the secret,' he's a megalomaniac, he's insanely rich, and nobody has said no to him in years. He sees himself as someone who'd be a king in olden times, or a warlord or whatever, and he's morphing into the image he's always wanted to project, just like scarface and chapo in his own mind, but really just a fighter who might be lucky to end up as good as Mike Tyson.

and cocaine by the bucketful.

Any of these fighters that got injured (even if just a little) would be foolish to fight on Saturday. They can fight Saturday, get kicked in the head, and paid at most 50k. Or they can meet up with attorneys and retire.

Sorry have u ever done cocaine what are ur cocaine bonafides and why would u think it works that way if u aren't a liar

I guess we can thank conor for making the card on Saturday shorter https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/4/6...-ufc-223-melee

UFC could sue him for this, and it could be a pretty big payout too.

The way Dana is talking, it sounds like him and Conor are finished.

Dana White is a whiny bitch. Conor vs Khabib will happen in 2018 and the UFC will unapologetically promote it.

the ufc has no choice but to sue him, he probably shaved 20% off their ppv buys.

He did more to promote ufc 223 than the UFC did in the last 2 months.

I think the buy rates for this card are +20%

And lol @ Dana. "Worst thing ever in UFC" .....seriously?

This industry really should unionize. I think Randy Couture was trying that. Get the top 5-10 trainers on board, get them to unionize their fighters, would need some of the top pros to join. Create a health care fund, minimum payouts, retirement fund, whatever. How can you train, etc. for so many years and the payout.. "a submission of the night" bonus? Most of the top fighters make what, 30k a fight. A few top ones make six figures, once or twice. Pay taxes, etc. and figure years of work on your own dime, and thats not a lot. Meanwhile I have to watch Dana white and the Fritata brothers become billionaires... About on par with Don King and boxing.

throw in some jamesons tho and buckle up tho.


im very curious to see where this post-arrest bloodwork lands. i genuinely expect there wont be anything there. i really think this is likely physiological.

in any case he literally just had a kid. if that doesnt mellow you the fuck out, i mean, you got a problem.

also for those comparing this to jones' hit and run... nyc is not albuquerque, and no one at zuffa is going to lift a fucking finger to vouch for him considering a) whats come out of his mouth in recent weeks and b) there is a recent history of violence well documented on every social media network on the internet and c) that he just literally torched a main card in the most important market zuffa has opened perhaps ever.

seriously, consider how much money the ufc has spent on lawyers and influence to get the ny state mma ban overturned. and their biggest star just went absolutely berserk in the heart of midtown with a gang of foreign hooligans he flew in specifically to engage in mass violence. john mccain must be laughing his fucking ass off.

zuffa has two options; it can circle the wagons around a guy who hasnt fought in like 500+ days and quite possibly have their license to stage events in NYC and possibly the whole state revoked, or they can align themselves with law enforcement in a city with the most heavily funded and deeply militarized law enforcement agencies in the nation btw and offer to pay for new busses to throw conor under.

which one of those scenarios makes zuffa's stakeholders the most money?

im really not sure if nyc has made enough money off these ufc events to justify not sending conor to rikers for 60 days. words like 'terroristic' might end up being said in front of the judge and this aint the city you want to be standing in front of a judge in when someone uses that word to describe your actions.

I am just catching up on this story, so he flew in a flight full (how much did that cost, private I am guessing) of hooligans to NY to cause mayhem? they are going to make an example of him if that is the case.

its been floated a few times, most recently by hunt iirc.

bottom line, the fighters really missed their window.

pre-Reebok was the time to do it because there was enough meat on the sponsorship end to take the salary hit comfortably, because thats what you give up in exchange for that sort of seat at the policy table, but once that Reebok deal got signed, like you said, a lot of undercard fighters basically make less than minimum wage when you count their time and expenses from training.

i forget the exact numbers but someone broke down how a lot of fighters who are on the cusp of making comfortable money in the current system would have to walk away from that dream, probably forever, in order for unionization to take place.

a new org would solve this problem providing dana retires and the new guy fucks the ufc into the dirt somehow, providing of course that mma itself hasnt plateaued financially.

the option i would suggest they consider is a strike. zuffa cant compel you to fight legally.

oh hell no

BREAKING: Max Holloway has been declared medically unfit to fight. Holloway is out of UFC 223. Per Dana White.

Wow . They have had fail Ppv cards before but this another level

i just picked up on this but probably others got there before me.. just in case:

mcgregor was let in by people who run his website, themaclife.com. i heard 'maclife let mcgregor and his crew in' and i thought maclife was like, the security people contracted for the event or something and they just assumed mcgregor should be there.

yeah themaclife.com is mcgregor's website. people working for it got media credentials. those people entered the arena and opened a side door to let mcgregor and his goons into the building.

thats fucking incredible.

Apparently Anthony Pettis is the replacement for main

PETTIS ASKED FOR MORE MONEY AND THEY DENIED HIM SO HES OUT.

SOME RANDOM IS NOW IN.

The NYSAC says random don't work for title fights (promotional titles, not even something they have any say over). Felder was the rando, and he got denied.

Everyone fucking everything up. Crazy part is, they used the UFC rankings as proof of Felder not being a proper opponent, even tho the UFC rankings are the most bullshit thing in the world anyway.

al aquinta stepped up but sac said he made his weight too late.

Looks like Al gets the fight, though for him its a non-title fight while Khabib gets a title fight. 5 rounds, main event.

been following this guy for a few weeks, worth a follow IMO. Funny shit.
