    But would 2 convictions in less than a year not be grounds to ban him from re entry to the United States?

    You can probably pay your way around these things.

    American justice, the best money can buy.

    Id say 110% it should and for normal Joe soaps like us we would have been banned after the first incident but for the rich there will be a way around it.

    Once he is finally done with fighting though and becomes fish & chip paper in vegas, then they will toss him to the side and be done with him.

    Reading the "victims" report and it seems McGregor offered to shake his hand and your man stuck his phone in his face recording him.

    McGregor then pulled him in and swung at his wrist to knock his phone to the ground.
    Stamped on it, walk away with and said **** you.

    Overreaction from McGregor obviously but your man was been a dick recording him.

    people record themselves taking a $hit these days, what was the big surprise? mcgregor is fond of taking pictures and videos himself.

    I wonder did he ever do the DNA test for the kid the young wan in England says is his, if she is a mini Mac then she should be entitled to a fair bit of child support I'd imagine.

    What's a fair bit of child support? 500 quid a week?

    Not many people want a video taken of themselves outside a nightclub at 5am.
    Maybe he should have read the signals from McGregor and not taken his phone out. Just because people are obsessed with taking videos, instead of experiencing real life, doesn't make it ok.

    He's one person fed up of a phone in his face so it wouldnt take much to set him off. If Mcgregor was been friendly and offered to shake his hand and this fella decided to shove his phone in his face, its annoying.

    Not for a second excusing his reaction though, its criminal and over the top.

    i agree but mcgregor would want to cop on to himself, is it worth ending up in prison or being banned from entering america?

    In order to have a downfall you must first have achieved something.

    Conor McGregor fights for a living.

    He was the first ever dual weight champion in UFC history. If it was that easy, everyone would do it. I think he's a complete knob but to say he hasn't achieved is just lying.

    George St Pierre and BJ Penn were dual champs long before McGregor.

    I don't call his Featherweight win an achievement seeing as he is a lightweight who had to go to extremes to cut weight to gain a size advantage.

    He got handed a lightweight title shot in a UFC money grab.

    He certainly doesn't have a talent or power advantage at lightweight seeing as he struggled twice against Diaz and got wrecked by Khabib.

    Beaten or not, Alvarez had a point with his Emperors New Clothes analogy.

    Wouldn't be his biggest fan, but to earn over 100 million is certainly an achievement.

    Cormier did it too, and was dual champ for a lot longer than McGregors 13 day reign. He also defended his belts.

    Agreed. Not the biggest fan of Conor myself but for him to have had the success that he's had in UFC is an achievement I think, and so what if others have done it first as well. It doesn't take away from what he has done in his career and in life.

    So you're suggesting that to undergo a weight cut of that type while maintaining enough muscle mass to compete against a world champion doesn't take skill in and of itself? Cutting without losing muscle is difficult for most people at the best of times, cutting under those circumstances and successfully taking on someone who's more used to that weight and hasn't had to undergo a major cut in order to prepare for the fight is something else entirely. Not many people could do it and win.

    Wrong. GSP didn't become a 2 weight champ until he beat Michael Bisping in November 2017. A full year after McGregor beat Alvarez.

    Couture was indeed a 2 weight champ. But the significant thing about McGregor was that he held both his belts concurrently and was the first to do so. The feat has since been repeated by Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes.

    That said, I think Penn and even Couture's achievements were more impressive. The fact that we went 25 years without a concurrent dual champ in the UFC and then had 3 in as many years highlights that the UFC love to offer champions shots at other champs in order to create that scenario.

    McGregor was just lucky to be the first to have the opportunity. Although that doesn't mean it wasn't a hell of an achievement to make Alvarez look as ordinary as he did.
