Will Rick Flair and Hulk Hogan be there too?

Gamebred · 13-07-2017 3:55pm

I would bet on Conor doing WWE before going back to mma given the choice, hes cut out for it.

If it's good enough for Floyd...

billybonkers · 13-07-2017 4:02pm

Conor does not work for Showtime though, they probably said say whatever the hell you want to sell the fight, just don't bring up the fact that Flyod beats women!

I didn't say Showtime told Conor to say **** you?

But if I were Conor and they cut my mic the day before I probably would.

Is he serious? Doesn't McGregor say that to everyone? I swore he said this to Nate Diaz too.
Ridiculous. Nothing in it.

So that's Floyd buried in the desert so.

Ah here, thats edited. He might be hard to handle but I don't think he is like he is made out to be in this.

The boy stuff is not meant with the same malace as its taken in the US. But you have to respect how other cultures and the words in them have different meaning, he did it again yesterday when he'll have been aware of the fall out. The word paki is almost friendly in Australia I believe, not quite in the here and the UK.

That clip above is pretty cut and shut though. Dancing monkeys in the gym is a horrible thing to say and most certainly racist.

Sofiztikated · 13-07-2017 6:36pm

I always took dancing monkeys to mean lackeys, someone who does your bidding, puppets kinda thing.

Same, I don't think he is saying it in the racist manner.

Sweet Science · 13-07-2017 6:50pm

Sorry but you don't use the term monkey when talking about a black person

I don't think he is actually racist but I genuinely don't think he is the brightest

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here on this one.

I don't think he'll do well in this fight, but I don't think he is racist.

I hope I am not wrong as well on this.

Hopefully he isn't but in case anyone didn't know race relations in America are little bit tense, especially at the moment. So saying that in that context is very dumb.

Frank Bullitt · 13-07-2017 7:12pm

Ah Conor, prove me wrong on this one at least! Don't turn to this kind of crap.

Dana to Drake: "Later Homie"

:P

A sure sign McGregor destroyed Floyd last night when the only rubbutal is for the race card to come out. It's moving from a clear 10-7 to McGregor to a 10-6 at this rate.

This is the same man who has an Iraqi born Muslim as his manager FFS.

Clowns.

LOL at that link:

"If I was to go to Ireland and start calling people a Coal-Cracker and tried to brush it off because I am an American, I doubt they would give me the same benefit of the doubt."

If an American came here and called me a coal cracker I break me hole laughing ffs :pac:

Have to think this is optimistic but come fight week and the final presser anf weigh in, add a dollop of drama and it wouldn't surprise.

If an American came here and called most people a coal cracker, most people wouldn't have a ****s notion what he meant.

That's what I mean. I would laugh cause it sounds so mad and I wouldn't have a clue what it meant anyway. Coal mine jibe I guess.

Anyway, the first thing I watched this morning when I woke up was that Kimmel clip as it was a YT recommendation and when I heard him refer to the scene with the 'Dancing Monkeys' I actually thought I had just forgotten about a scene where Clubber Lang must have had a 'Dancing Monkey' ......... been years since I seen it.

Damn so, I can see this snowballing unfortunately....... America is uber sensitive to stuff like that.

Inviere · 13-07-2017 7:44pm

I really don't think he's racist in any way shape or form, but that's the kinda thing that's gonna get your name in the news....hmm.

As an aside, I think it's the Aldo fight, just before the round begins & he's down on his hunkers, I'm certain you can see him mouthing "C'mon boy", or "Let's go boy".

Sofiztikated · 13-07-2017 7:49pm

Yeah, it's a ****ing reach.

And he said about the "celebrity gym," obviously meaning

Outlaw Pete · 13-07-2017 7:52pm

Nah, I don't think he's racist in the slightest either.... sure if anything he is always trying to emulate black culture. On his way to LA he said "Goin back to Cali" in a tweet which is a Biggie Smalls song and of course he used Hypnotize as his walk out music for years. I know people will say you can still be racist and do all that, but I just don't get that vibe form him at all.

There was also a black fighter staying at the mansion for the Diaz II camp, he was in a bunch of Embeddeds I think, anyone know who that was?

God I hope this doesn't gather momentum, be a shame to sour it all, even if it is essentially a money grab.

D.Q · 13-07-2017 7:53pm

Be a real shame if race starts being dragged into it.

"boy" was definitely meant disrespectfully, but I think that's where it ends.

That said, maybe avoid it tonight. Obviously there are undertones there, especially in America.

Well, the only people dancing in that were three white girls... thank fcuk for that.

You just know if that scene had three black women there would have been screen caps flying about twitter saying he was calling the women in it monkeys.
