"Stopped watching the ufc a long time ago. Mcgregor is just a tool. Theres trash talk and crossing line and he went so far over that line he couldnt see it any more. I would have liked poirier to beat him into a dribbling mess " Yes a life altering brain injury would have been more apt.. Now in 8 months time we will have to listen to how he defied all odds and made his comeback to the octagon and hopefully he gets beaten senseless or his leg gives way again | |||

"Did dana white say they might be fighting again???" Apparently so yes.. The 4th installment.. I didn't stay up and watch that rubbish just saw it this morning on news and laughed  | |||

"Alot of ignorance towards the sport and Mcgregor here, you might not like the person he is but that's why alot of people like him he's not fake doesn't try be the saint he's the same Dub from Crumlin, probably why he doesn't get the credit he should in here in Ireland, absolutely put MMA on the map it wouldn't be anything like what it is now without him, like it or not he's the biggest sportstar ever to come out of this country and will never be surpassed..." You're having a laugh, he's not even the biggest sports star to come out of Crumlin ffs | |||

It's barely a sport and he wouldn't even be on the top 10. Either deluded or outstanding trolling fair play. | |||

"My real life experiences with him and his posse show him and his family to be complete scum. Anytime I've seen him he's been on the Bolivian marching powder out of his head.

I would consider myself a proud Irishman but when that imbecile opens his mouth when apparently representing us and wearing the flag it is hard to not be embarrassed.
We seen some excellent Karma on the M7 motorway this week, hopefully Karma catches up with that prick one day too. | |||

Disgraceful ?? It's trash talk in a combat sport its not like swatting a couple balls on the tennis court not everything has to be politically correct or just because you think it's disgraceful doesn't mean everyone else will, do you even follow or compete in the sport ? | |||

I've been an mma fan for years no need for Google here.. Mark hunt was a journey man.. One of the best in my opinion.. Mcgregor is trash and karma caught up with him last night | |||

) If he could fight even half as good as he spouts shit he would be unbeaten. He is a fucking embarrassment to the Irish people. | |||

An absolute whopper of a post hahaha. Put MMA on the map? Randy Coture, Chuck Liddell, Rampage Jackson, Ken Shamrock, Anderson Silva, Forrest Griffin et al say "hi". It wouldn't have fucking whoppers from this country following it and acting like experts every few months when their clown steps into the circus. And the biggest sports stat to ever come out of this country? Really? He's never ever even defended a title. He's a clown, your man Sheamus from WWE is at the same level as this dope, and he's probably have a better punch on him as well, at least strong enough to knock an old aged pensioner off a feckin stool. | |||
"Any sport that allows a man to elbow another man in the face, while on his back is disgusting. I’d admire the fitness levels and the training but hitting a person on the ground whilst on your back just doesn’t feel right. More like gladiators, but is that what we want to see?" | |||

" All good fighters no doubt about it but they have never even come close to what McGregor has done for the UFC and MMA as a whole look at the pay scale ? Without McGregor they would all be making buttons slogging their guts for nothing look at everyone wearing suits pre and post fights look at the PPVS that's what pays the fighters like him or not he's done more for professional MMA than anyone ever has. The whoppers you chat about probably would never have heard of MMA without McGregor because Irish society frowns on it (just look at the comments) but for someone who has trained and competed for years it's great to see new people taking interest in the sport even if they are "whoppers" as you say and the Seamus craic if you can't admit McGregors the best Sportstar ever to come out of this country you've definitely got that little posh chip on your shoulder, no one comes close to what he has achieved | |||

"Mcgregor done fuck all for any other fighters pay only his own He was in a perfect position to lead fighters in the fight for better pay and he done or said fuck all Watching him walk all over john redmond in cage warriors d out of his head that time shows what he thinks of other irishfighters never mind any others.hes a tramp Now hes gone i hope he brings all his gobshite fans with him,making tits of themselves,but when you hero worship the biggest tit of all what would you expect " He set the bar its up to every individual fighter to make it and go get it, there's alot of fighters that are yes men don't question anything for fear of being dropped you're letting your hate for McGregor get infront of logical thinking, that's his choice and how do you know he was d up ? Its like begrudgery or something you just don't like to see a working class Dub do well for himself and be himself no change to keep every other Tom Dick and Harry happy,take a look what he's done for young up and coming fighters footballers etc in his area no government no other "celebrity's funding" | |||

"He is certainly up there being being the most well known sports star to ever come of out Ireland but he certainly isn't the best or most talented sports person, not even close. Who comes close to him tho ? " In terms of talent? He was an excellent striker at a specific weight division. Once he couldn't make the lower weight and face smaller opponents he has struggled. He's doesn't have the skills or technical ability to make up for that. MMA is a very small sport too, so there isn't actually a huge amount of competition in the sport or many people you'd need to beat. Padriag Harrington and Rory McIllroy are all much better and reached the pinnacle of a very popular sport. Steve Collins was world champion in a much more popular sport too, 39 fights and 36 wins. Katie Taylor level of domaince and consistently dominating is a more impressive sports achievement then anything McGregor has done. And that's before I even get started in sports player in team sports like Roy Keane and BOD. McGregor fight record is 22-6. Really nothing impressive at all. He is an elite marketing and trash talking talent though., I'll give him that. | |||

You're really proving my point here starting with Golf finishing with Rugby very upper class sports and saying there isn't much competition shows you have absolutely no clue about Irish or UK MMA and you're getting all your stats from the paper | |||

There isn't much competition, it's a fact. How many MMA gyms are in the UK and Ireland compared to boxing gyms?
You should consider using some stats yourself, you might actually be able to make some type of coherent point then. I won't hold my breath on that though though. | |||

I'm reading it you see I'm just sibhing through the bull You see you're rambling on as if you know there isn't much competition when there's loads, Between all disciplines of MA from Karate to Jii Jitsu they greatly outnumber boxing gyms in the UK, and as I said because MMA doesn't fit society's politically correct image here it's not as popular but it's growing, you see I don't need to use stats I know what I'm talking about maybe that's why you can't understand the point I'm making | |||

Lad, we are talking about MMA. Mixed martial arts, we aren't talking about martial arts.

"He is certainly up there being being the most well known sports star to ever come of out Ireland but he certainly isn't the best or most talented sports person, not even close. Who comes close to him tho ? In terms of talent? He was an excellent striker at a specific weight division. Once he couldn't make the lower weight and face smaller opponents he has struggled. He's doesn't have the skills or technical ability to make up for that. MMA is a very small sport too, so there isn't actually a huge amount of competition in the sport or many people you'd need to beat. Padriag Harrington and Rory McIllroy are all much better and reached the pinnacle of a very popular sport. Steve Collins was world champion in a much more popular sport too, 39 fights and 36 wins. Katie Taylor level of domaince and consistently dominating is a more impressive sports achievement then anything McGregor has done. And that's before I even get started in sports player in team sports like Roy Keane and BOD. McGregor fight record is 22-6. Really nothing impressive at all. He is an elite marketing and trash talking talent though., I'll give him that. First ever 2 weight world champion but sure that means nothing when you're talking about Padraig Harrington or Rory him being from Nortern Ireland aswell I can see you don't really follow much sport other than what is mainstream so this debate is kinda futile because your view is very skewed typical good old Irish view. What about BOD ? You're really proving my point here starting with Golf finishing with Rugby very upper class sports and saying there isn't much competition shows you have absolutely no clue about Irish or UK MMA and you're getting all your stats from the paper
I support boxing and soccer are very upper class sports as well? -D or did you just purposely ignore the examples. Maybe try and keep up and read what I've posted.
There isn't much competition, it's a fact. How many MMA gyms are in the UK and Ireland compared to boxing gyms?

Hahah staring to raise your nose a bit now its a small sport and it's only going to get smaller very salty of you did you get pushed about by a big bad MMA fighter or something | |||
"Mma doesnt fit societys politically correct image?? Im not getting this" Take for instance when it really blew up here in Ireland when McGregor got big, people saying it was too violent that it attracted a bad crowd and people and politicians tried to get it banned, the media coverage Irish fighters get is little to nothing because its doesn't fit with society's politically correct image | |||

My nan used to freak out when she saw me coming home busted up from camogie. Mma is a niche so to speak in my opinion. I dont think it will ever reach the levels of football or rugby. And people just need to get on with that. I do mma and bjj, my eldest 2 girls do also. The other 2 will also start as soon as theyre old enough. We have never gotten anything said to us because of it. For a good chunk of "fans" here in Ireland, they only followed because of mcgregor. They had no clue (and some still dont) as to what constitutes mma so they are just as igorant with regard to it as the politicians who wanted it banned. Political correctness has nothing to do with it. Some will like it, some wont. Others find it entertainment, others find it abhorrent. Its a simple as that. For me anyway and i dont take it personally if people call mcgregor a dickhead and mma scumbag. | |||

Hahah staring to raise your nose a bit now its a small sport and it's only going to get smaller very salty of you did you get pushed about by a big bad MMA fighter or something "Keane a decent player. Okay. I'll just skip over that one actually.
It is a small sport though. Nothing salty about that fact. How many Irish MMA competitors would the average Irish person know about outside of Conor McGregor? None I'd say, because it's a small sport. I'd need to find a big bad MMA fighter first for that to happen.
I've problem with the sport, I'd have no issue seeing it grow. But it hasn't really and it is still a very small sport. It's not even recognised by Sports Ireland and if it was a big sport it would be.

"Alot of ignorance towards the sport and Mcgregor here, you might not like the person he is but that's why alot of people like him he's not fake doesn't try be the saint he's the same Dub from Crumlin, probably why he doesn't get the credit he should in here in Ireland, absolutely put MMA on the map it wouldn't be anything like what it is now without him, like it or not he's the biggest sportstar ever to come out of this country and will never be surpassed..." He's a trash talking scumbag, doesn't matter where he's from. | |||

Sir that's a bit nonsense. MMA has been huge long before McGregor set foot in a gym, let alone an octagon. He might have increased its popularity here, but that's only really talking about the UFC. One of many exponents of MMA. Most of the modern fighters, McGregor being one of the biggest examples have bugger all respect for it martial arts, to them it's nothing but a money making, dick measuring contest. He's a twat. If he's not fake, then that just confirms he's always been a twat. Never liked him, but I've never really been a fan of the UFC to begin with. | |||
"It has nothing to do with trash talking or mma Mcgregor is just a scumbag He would be the same if he was a rapper or footballer Talking about another mans family like that,and a good family man too,and way he treats his own family like dee is disgusting Surely he has now done enough even for the gullible yanks that his brand is toxic and he will disappear " Couldn't have said it better...and in fact, I didn't haha | |||

"Ahhh he said some nasty things in his interview after the fight about yer mans wife...like...FFS ...Cop the fuck on .." She walked over and stuck her finger up at him as he lay on the ground with a broken leg. She's hardly a classy bird. She's a dirty chavy cunt, so don't feel bad for her. But that's how the whole UFC has gone since McGregor joined. Irish people love a dirty chav. Sure even look at the porn sites, number one and two videos are about chavs. | |||

"All i see here is jealously hahaha this will not finish his career he is still the no1 draw in ufc and holds top 5 pay per view records in ufc history... yes he is a gobshite but no one can take away what he has done for the sport the man is a cash cow hahahaha " His career is over at elite level He will have a few more fights, poirier and diaz. But after that injury and the layoff he will probably lose both. Then he can only really fight guys outside the top 5 or 10, or go back to boxing washed up boxers. He will still make a lot of money but he will never compete at the top level again in the UFC in my opinion | |||
"Plus ive seen how everyone is giving out about what he said that night but no one can understand he is promoting the next fight while sitting there with a broken leg haha Do ye all take offence with mike tyson for doing the same and worse? " If you believe he was doing that to promote the next week fight I've got some magic money beans to sell you. They're amazing and will make you richer than McGregor! | |||
