    What's an OctaRing?

    Think that was McGregor's way of saying Octogan / Boxing Ring.

    Totally agree. McGregor totally was afraid of Khabib.

    The other member of the conversation and you are still in denial! Get over it McGregor wanted out of there so bad he was praying to be submitted and was trying to calm Khabib down !
    He said it just after round 3, which he won and outstruck Khabib 45-17. I've no idea why people are going on like he said it while Khabib was on top punching the head off him

    No idea why some people can't let it go either.

    The clip doing the rounds starts with Khabib on top and landing on McGregor whilst Khabib says something like "Who's talking now". I think that's from round 2. Then it cuts to that clip when they're in the clinch against the cage. So, the video does make it look like McGregor said it after getting smashed so I can understand why people think that.

    Even putting the tiresome "it's only business" talk aside - the narrative of Conor wanting out doesn't even stand up to the smallest piece of scrutiny. He was being hurt badly with vicious GnP at the end of the second round. If he wanted out of there so badly, he wouldn't have bothered defending and simply shelled up.

    If they only seen the clip then sure.
    But I'm assuming everyone here actually watched the fight and remember that part and Herb breaking them up from the 3rd.

    He's dressed for it too, taking it seriously unlike the one in Blanchardstown.

    Sure Khabib took it :pac:

    His driving ban reminds me of his comments about Jon Jones - just get a driver!

    In the words of the late great Mitch Hedberg

    "My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don't really know what's happening down there."

    https://www.thejournal.ie/mcgregor-driving-ban-4364835-Nov2018/
    Garda evidence outlined how the 30-year-old former UFC champion was driving at a speed of 154 km/h in a 100 km/h zone, at Kill, Co Kildare, on 11 October, 2017, at 10.57pm.

    Judge Desmond Zaidan said that he is very fortunate that the state did not charge him with dangerous driving or careless driving and that he was treated in the same manner as someone doing 60 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.

    Any particular reason why he was treated in the same manner as someone doing 60 in a 50 when he was doing 54 over the limit? Does it often happen or is the answer the obvious one rule for the rich and famous?

    Couldn't remember his home address in Kildare to give to the nyard?

    At least he was able to remember where his parents live.

    I don't like this particular judge, he gives this stupid sentences that are disproportionate to the offence and they get reduced on appeal, wasting more court time and taxpayer wedge.
    Also he let off a driver in Donegal that had been caught doing rings in a junction because it was his last case in Donegal. This driver went on to kill 8 people in a crash. But I do take your point that sentences need to be stiffer but also a balance needs to be found.

    It's a bespoke suit. You don't wear a belt because it's made to fit. That negates the use of a belt, its primary function being to hold your trousers up.

    No. Even with a tailored suit you wear a belt. Because it looks stupid without it.
    All suits were "bespoke" until relatively recently, belts were always used. Even when people buy a suit of the peg they still get them fitted, if they don't want to look like they're wearing their dads jacket.

    The pants could easily have no belt loops, therefore no belt.
