Either fix the whole mess or come out and call it like it is, get rid of the mock trial and just have lunvall announce her decision

The press conference was 30mins underway as that stage, if it was bought beforehand it would have been freezing by then. If it had of been a piping hot coffee, there's would have been somebody hurt as there's no way the splashes missed everyone. Sure, he was a mong with the laptop. I don't dispute that. But I don't think there's point in making up stories to fit a narrative.

I was just a little curious as to why Irvine, California would be listed as his actual residence on his submission. There must be a reason. If he had wanted to do the community service in Ireland he would have listed Dublin as his home address. Well, Straffan, Co. Kildare.

A latte isn't nearly as hot as a black coffee. Athletes are taxed where they "work" not where they live. So a NFL/NBA player will pay tax in every state they play in. Listing a residence in California won't affect his fight tax. Who knows what else is going on though Conor Wallace said on snapchat he had got a "scalding" hot coffee all over him and John Kavanagh in his 42.ie column said: "I got hit by a hot coffee and it sprayed onto Orla as well.

wonderfullife wrote: » Brimage, Brandao, Poirier, Mendes, Siver, Aldo..... i'd argue all of the above fought over-emotionally. They all wanted to go in and rip his head off.
.ak wrote: » I dunno, I still think McGregor is very much aware of his persona on 'stage'. I think he's trying to capture the 'Don' character right now, and that gets under fighter's skin. They all want to see him fall. Which is perfect for him, as it makes his next opponent more emotionally committed. Alvarez right now reminds me of Poirer, only Alvarez so far is doing a better job of holding it together, but you could see in the face off he was clearly jittered.
wonderfullife wrote: » For me, personally, his most charming and funny was during The Time is Now presser in late-2014. He was pure gold in that presser and Ronda couldn't stop laughing. He stole that show when not a giant star at the time. I think Conor was influenced by events when it came to the El Chapo stuff. The capture was in the news around that time and then, of course, Narcos came out on Netflix and suddenly Conor is on to wearing a t-shirt of Escobar. The "50's baby!" McGregor is still there, at times, and he seemed a lot more like his old self at the recent presser.
