Because he was insured and had a valid license at the time of the offence .

Lets see him get off his next court case for what happened last week

"Before the hearing, Mr McGregor's solicitor Graham Kenny spoke to Garda Keith Dolan from Rathmines, who was standing in for the prosecuting garda, and produced the required documentation."

Same thing happened to me a few years back, stopped while driving with no license on me. Was meant to produce it within 10 days at a station and forgot all about it. Court summons about a year later, I met the Guard in the court and showed her my license and insurance and the case was struck out.

He was being brought in for failing to produce licence, he had done it prior to the court appearance, once the garda confirmed it it was struck out.

Although asking someone to explain that yet not clicking the link to the article to read it is pretty lazy

Who ever his driver was today won't last too long driving like he did away from court. Nearly got into an accident because he took off like a rocket. Some plonker all the same losing his licence, anyone know if he has to resit his test? All his flash suits and cars and yet he has zero class, just wish he'd exit stage left.

It was nice of Conor to pose for a picture in court, if I was a celeb in court I'd tell people to fúck off if they asked me for a pic there!

Photography is not allowed in court. He is clearly the one holding the phone and taking the picture. I hope the gardai follow up on this and charge him with contempt of court.

It's not inside the courtroom so there goes that one.

I'd rather they follow up on real crimes.

Its sad that he's in a courtroom more frequently than he is in the Octagon anymore.

No announcement afaik.

McGregor isn't motivated by belt-defences, he's motivated by challenge. Why climb a hill you have climbed before? Thats his mentality. I cant see him ever defending the 145 belt apart from maybe Aldo (and I said that 6 months ago too )

DeVore wrote: »

The thing is that McGregor vs the 145'ers is at a big advantage. He can muscle them around in the clinch/grapple. He doesn't have to worry too much about their knock out power (theres not much there) and he has the bigger reach, always. At 155, he might be in danger of being... well, average.... :^/

I think he should have stayed at 145 and defended his title, this business with Diaz is a silly distraction and Mayweather is simply cuckoo land.

I want to see McGregor back at 145, beating everyone there and sitting on his throne. But I don't think that's his plan...

DeVore wrote: »

The thing is, the UFC learned before that unified belt fight are bad news. Yes you get one big fight out of it. But then you could lose one big champion and the two belts are defended half as often.

I can see a situation where Conor wins the 155 belt and then vacates the 145 belt saying "they can have it, I'm done with it"

I feel bad for Frankie, partly because I really like the guy, he has a great character and is a truly tough mofo and partly because he has really done everything he should need to do to get a crack at the belt.

I predict deese tings...:D

Nice to hear from you DeV.

*for those that don't know, he actually does own the place. i.e is a founder of boards.ie.

DeVore

Lo all... yeah been a while. And I cant even claim I've been busy training because I'm a lazy sh*te who hasnt seen the inside of the gym since June. Big fat fool now but that has to change and starts tomorrow (because of course it does!)

Bored stupid by the latest UFC stuff though... dunno whats going on. Is it just me or are there no really interesting fighters/fights any more? (yeah, old timey DeV is here to tell you it was all better in my day )

Muahahaha

Welcome back to the thread DeV :cool:
Good calls tbf but would disagree on him staying at 145, it was a huge struggle for him to cut to that weight. As for Mayweather,etc shed loads of cash said otherwise. Where to next though, can he get back to the same level of commitment as he had before the circus begun? It doesnt seem that likely right now, its diffcult to see him being as hungry as he was a couple of years back.

DeVore

It *was* a huge struggle for him to cut to 145... especially after putting on muscle. Its so sooo much easier to cut water and fat than muscle.

I dunno where he goes from here. He cant go back in for another title fight imho and his pride is going to have to come down about 20 stories to start to take build-up fights to get himself tuned up again because make no mistake about it, the Conor we saw against Khabib was slow and stodgy. Conor was never good on the ground but he was very hard to GET to the ground and keep him there. Khabib didnt have that problem with him and made Conor look pretty average.

Cant say im bored at all, after ten years of fandom i love it as much as ever.

Holloway ortega was a hugely intriguing matchup, as was conor khabib.

Garbrandt v dillashaw (both) and garbrandt beating cruz were all highlights.

Now dillashaw v cejudo is also gonna be great.

Askren should shake up the division too.

Cant say i love the wwe nature of a lot of the latest build ups, but once they close thecage door its as good as ever, in my humble.

Khabib has done that against 25 other people though. McGregor did look a bit off but take nothing away from khabib. Being mauled by him doesn't really tell us anything.
