Conor McGregor

JP Liz V1 · 13-09-2021 1:02am #1

Conor McGregor just barely got his full health back, and the dude is already back to squaring up -- only this time ... he's doing it well outside the Octagon, and against Machine Gun Kelly.

The UFC star appears to have gotten into a physical confrontation Sunday on the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards leading into the Barclays Center -- right before showtime, no less -- in a would-be clash that was captured by several photogs on the scene.

TMZ

Sorry I couldn't find newest open thread on Conor

More media attention for him

McGregor threw a drink at him/in his general direction.

ARE YOU FAKE NEWS, LIZ????? ARE YOU PART OF THE GLOBALIST ELITE???????

Potential-Monke · 13-09-2021 5:21am

What the...

Motivator · 13-09-2021 8:30am

It was probably a PR stunt. Machine Gun Kelly will now release a song having a pop at McGregor or that tramp he’s going out with and then bang...McGregor becomes a rapper and releases a song in response.

Pauliedragon · 13-09-2021 8:42am

He belongs in the WWE.

Much ado about nothing.

McGregor is better than all of us here at fighting. Great, it's made him a lot of money. But all of us here are probably better than him at everything else that makes us human beings that function in a society. If you glorify someone whose only life skill involves hitting other people, your priorities are messed up.

Mister Vain · 13-09-2021 8:47am

Apparently McGregor asked him for a photo and MGK was having none of it.

pjohnson · 13-09-2021 8:49am

Risky by McGregor, he should stick to fighting buses.

Donald Trump · 13-09-2021 9:01am

Sure he died after being in Alcatraz for 17 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Gun_Kelly

Maybe McG wanted an easier comeback fight than "old man at the bar" and decided to start on a dead fella this time?

CGI_Livia_Soprano · 13-09-2021 9:29am

Typical pissed up cokehead behaviour. McTapper's a has-been.

Fandymo · 13-09-2021 9:49am

Imagine having all that money, all of the adulation of the idiots who hang on every word you say and defend you after assaults, sexual and physical, and yet being so insecure that if someone won't take a photo with you, or drink your gut-rot whiskey, your feeble ego causes you to lash out and attack the other person. All that fame and money wouldn't be worth it for me, if I was so pathetically insecure in myself.

Patrick2010 · 13-09-2021 10:13am

Threw a drink and then squared up or maybe the other way around?

McGregor is nothing more than a performing monkey for his puppet masters. I hate hearing this nonsense that he’s a “genius” because he’s earned a few quid. He’s been manufactured by the UFC and people who build brands. McGregor is the human form of a start up business that has soared in popularity due to the idiot consumer willing to through all their money at it.

A guy I worked with is the ultimate fan boy and went to Vegas a few years ago for a fight. Himself and 5 of his buddies went over and got wind of a “McGregor special” package that was on offer once they showed their fight ticket at the hotel. They paid an arm and a leg but got a special rate on the room, a gun range experience and a VIP experience at a lap dancing club. The hotel just saw their chance to absolutely fleece these idiots that follow him.

McGregor could sell dogshit to people as long as it has his name on it. That’s the appeal of his brand now and he’s been rammed down everyone’s throats by very clever people exploiting him and his followers. He’s a tinker and he’s thick but he’s far richer than I am so what can I say?

I definitely think this latest nonsense is a PR stunt. What business had he being at the awards? All a set up I guarantee it.

Brid Hegarty · 13-09-2021 10:33am

This MG Kelly dude is dating Megan Fox. I didn't realise he was such a tramp. What is it with girls liking rappers? I mean I get why they like Bad Boys, but why rappers? I guess all bad boys are inked up rappers these days.

Hangdogroad · 13-09-2021 11:08am

McTapper is one of those people that you just know was always a thoroughly unlikeable individual long before anyone knew who he was.

That whole McGregor/cage fighting/Joe Rogan/bro thing from a few years back was cringe inducing. There was even a hack on Twitter suggesting McGregor was a good role model for kids!

There were about 30 of them in the MMA forum backed by mods..

He's an embarrassment to Ireland, I'd prefer if he permanently relocated to the US to be honest, they adore him there.

MGK used to be a rapper until he tried to start a rap feud with Eminem who - despite being quite past it - embarrassed him in reply. The popular thing to say about it is that Eminem dissed him so hard, he made MGK change genres. He does a completely different type of music now. It's not rap. Heck it's barely even music but it is what it is.

So you’re telling me he got so big so fast all on his own? Nothing to do with them pushing McGregor down everyone’s throats and building him up to be the face of the brand all the while setting him up against mostly second rate fighters to kick the hype train up even further?

Absolutely he’s manufactured by the UFC. They see him as the ultimate cash cow and rightly so. People are stupid enough to cough up the money and they know that better than anyone. McGregor transformed the UFC brand and brought it even further into Europe and made it even bigger in America. It’s like Man United signing a South Korean or Japanese player and using them to market the club and the brand. Funnily enough, United did both in the last 15 years and held pre season tours in the Far East. All about growing the brand and that’s exactly what the UFC see in McGregor. He’s a tinker, they’d have no use for him if he wasn’t. If he was a UFC fighter from Foxrock who was a nice chap there’d be nothing about him. Because he’s a “bad boy” to US fans they lap it up. So do the muppets in Ireland with too much money. I’ve lost count of the amount of Americans who can’t understand how he’s hated in Ireland. They all think he’s adored here because that’s what the UFC are pushing. “Pride of Ireland or King of Ireland”. It’s a load of crap.

They adore him there as they think he's crazy and funny, but in a way of laughing at him, rather then with him...

Gives the rest of Ireland a bad name.

McGregor is 5' 9''. The average height of a WWE wrestler is 6' 5''-6' 10''. McMidget would look ridiculous in the ring against those monsters. Maybe he could have a feud with Hornswaggle about who is the biggest caricature??

I don't really get the weird narrative from some people that those who are interested in Conor McGregor are idiots. You can think he's a massive toolbag in his personal time while also enjoying watching him fight, most MMA fans think exactly that.

It's not an endorsement of him as a person.

While his best days are behind him he was an exceptional fighter and he is still pretty entertaining in the octagon. No-one could ever say McGregor's fights are boring.

Mad_maxx · 13-09-2021 2:25pm

I never heard of " Machine gun kelly " until today ,he looks like a right tosser but he's banging Megan Fox so must be doing something right.

McGregor probably wanted to get close to her

Gatling · 13-09-2021 3:26pm

So pussy white rapper shoves a MMA fighter who on any day would beat him senseless ,

Let everyone stand back and let them go at each other , drama sorted

Or AEW against Punk or Omega

randd1 · 13-09-2021 3:49pm

Personally, I hope both McGregor and the other tosser end up in the octagon, knock each other out at the same time, and in doing so, shift their brains to alter their personalities into something that resembles a decent human being.

How these braindeads can be sold off as role-models by their respective media companies is beyond me. Even worse, there are people who buy what they're selling, which is an indictment of elements of Western society in itself.

Loads of people just popping into the thread to say they dont like him. A lot of the same types will pay to see him get beaten. Job done.

Well every sensible person out their would agree that he has turned into a tool, its a pity as he use to be entertaining

13-09-2021 5:12pm

Many sensible people knew he was a tinker from day one, and got banned repeatedly from the mma forum because of it..

Hyperbollix · 13-09-2021 5:28pm

He's never been back on the Late Late Show since his first appearance early in his career. That tells you all you need to know about the guy. Pure trouble!
