I believe Mousasi on this one. Weird stuff. I would like to see the exact wording though as my guess is Conor said "i'd cut you open".

Yep, my guess would be something was lost in translation.

It just doesn't make any sense for a skilled fighter to bring talk of weapons into the conversation.

As for his fine. Suck it up, seriously.

I know many of his fans here are a bit blinded by admiration, and I get that, but he absolutely pelted heavy drink cans into a crowd. Nate, although he started it, gently lobbed a light water bottle into a crowd of McGregors friends.

To me, McGregors reaction is disproportionate, and in percentage terms of what he made, it's a small cost to pay. Man up, pay it, move on and have another big Vegas payday. Now if it's just a ploy to stay on the East Coast, cool. But when he talks of how his 300k camp is just a percentage of his overall income, well, so it is. You can't have it both ways.

if that story is true regarding mcgegor it confirms what many suspected, that is him being a glorified, pumped up thug from inner city Dublin. I hope for his sake it isn't true as he is a great role model for young irish kids and I would hate to see that sort of carry on glamorised. You'd see it from the kinihan crew, not SBG.

hes from Crumlin thats not town

Michael Bisping has said on his podcast today that McGregor sent him some particularly nasty texts for picking Alvarez to beat him at UFC 205.

Plot thickens.

Do you have a source for that?

Bisping doesn't make a big deal of it at all. Says he does the same.

Conor comes across as very insecure

To be fair, he wasn't far away from ending up in that sort of lifestyle. He remains good friends with Jamie Kavanagh, who had his father murdered by Christy Kinahan and uncle Paul murdered too. He was friends with David Byrne and Paul Kavanagh, both dead. Sure Daniel Kinahan and Byrne were at the Aldo fight and Conor was sitting with them at the Jamie Kavanagh fight November 2015 at the National Boxing Stadium.

I've always wondered was that one reason Tony McGregor moved the family out to Lucan when Conor was 16, to try get him away from all that messing.

Conor seems to be staking alot on this fight...it will be back to featherweight if he loses, surely?

I think Alvarez will decimate him

I think the opposite - it'll be a convincing KO/TKO victory. Eddie a good match-up for him.

As for stakes involved - i don't think he has a lot to lose. He's set for life financially already and he could walk away from MMA in the morning and straight to Hollywood or Reality TV or Fight Promotion or the unicorn Floyd match.....

Anyway he proved with the Nate Diaz loss that a defeat isn't catastrophic. He may well end his career with something like 30-6 as a record.

Kavanagh says that he and McGregor are not close. He had to beat the **** out of Conor on the first day of Conor being in SBG. Interview with Kimmage tomorrow in the Independent.

I think McGrregor, Danan and a lot of people are underestimating Eddie.

If it wasn't the Indo or Kimmage I'd be interested in reading that article.

McGregor didn't message either of them. Believing that would be naive.

Without getting into things I think he's lost his objectivity in journalism now. I find him very tiresome now.

It was during sparring sessions.

Not like he just knocked her out for the sake of it.

Can see this interview been blown out of proportion.

I'm guessing Call of Duty have some sort of link-ups with them to publicise the game.

The guy literally 3 posts ago just said he thinks Alvarez will destroy McGregor at UFC 205


One thing people may not consider, and this might be an abstract point...... There's a lot more pressure on Eddie Alvarez during his fight camp.

By that i mean he is on record as stating he's not made a lot of money and needs this fight. On the other hand, McGregor is minted.

All fighters have in the back of their mind "try not to get injured".

But for this particular fight, a "red panty night", it must be very difficult to go hard in training when you can't afford to lose the fight.

If Eddie gets injured, he may never get the McGregor shot again. Who knows how things would play out. He has the belt, sure, but things could transpire Conor goes a different road. He could lose the belt to Khabib or Ferguson and miss out on the life-changing money.

So i think that gives Conor a huge advantage in terms of fight camp. He can afford to train hard without worrying about his finances should he get injured. Eddie can't do the same.

Incidentally, for all the sleuths who speculated he broke up with Dee - she's heard in the above video saying "bend down".

She's obviously pregnant and he's got it in his head to announce it after the fight if/when he wins.

The whole team seemed to be at that Call of Duty/Lad Bible gig! Julian Dalby, Dee, John Kavanagh, Colin Byrne, Charlie Ward, Dillon Danis all there.

Exactly, which would therefore lead someone to suggest you were a big McGregor cheerleader because...?

Useful.Idiot

Most McGregor fans (esp Americans) are underestimating Eddie. Most who aren't McGregor fans are underestimating McGregor. It's usually the way it goes.

Both men are confident with their gameplans. Should be a great fight.

I actually don't see the fight going that long at all. Eddie is no bum by any stretch, not at all at all, but he's too stiff for someone like Conor. He can't fight on the outside against Conor, and trying to steamroll him won't work out well. He's going to get cracked on the sweetspot early. Conor has sufficient takedown defense (yes, I'm continuing with the American terms here) to cope with Eddie.

Widely accepted if he can take him down, pass the guard, take his back, or whatever, might be an unfortunate early night for Mystic Mac, but as I see it it will be two hits involved, Conor hitting Eddie, and Eddie hitting the floor.

Anyone that thinks Conor is anything less than the second coming of Christ is delusional.

If he loses it will be because he chose to.

Do not question his infinite vision and wisdom.

Didn't he say he was open to a fight with Jesus?

Bisping said recently that if it wasn't for him McGregor would be working a minimum wage job.

Bisping has had a few pops at Conor recently so it's no surprise if he has finally fired back.

However, they have the same management team and I heard that they are actually civil enough with each other so I'd guess the texts were sent more in jest.

Was this not common knowledge by now? I thought it was, along with the ticket money incident.

The first thing Kavanagh says about the incident: "it sounds worse than it was". It will definitely get blown out of all proporation however.

I'll give it a week on here before the story changes to Conor running at her from behind and striking her in the back of the head before he asks the Kinahan's to take her hostage to frighten her.
