      It’s ok, you can be pissed that a rapist is being platformed at all. Especially in mainstream media.

          He’s doing one more fight with another retired old fighter. Also, he got popular enough that he’s trying to pivot to other things, kinda like Tyson.

            Connor McGregor is definitely a fucking asshole and not relevant as a human being, let alone as a fighter. But Max Holloway is not retired, even if he is “old” in fight miles. He’s in fact the current 4th ranked Lightweight in the UFC, and by all accounts a very decent human being (even if he does punch people for a living)

              Apologies, I don’t follow mma too closely. Can’t wait to see Max sleep Connor.

                No apology needed! I also don’t follow it very closely anymore. It’s hard to care, when it’s run by such absolute shitheads tbh. Oh for real, I can’t wait!

                  Honestly? Honestly? That was a better outcome than watching him get beat up. Just pure embarrassment and I’m here for it.

                    It was such a clown show and in my wildest dreams, I couldn’t have come up with of a funnier outcome! The consensus on the other site was, they would believe the fight happened, when Connor stepped into the cage. He did that, and still no fight… Talk about generational aura loss, as the kids would say!
