      It's a safe bet that mcgregor won't be fighting again.

      It might be the only chance the universe will ever have me rooting for Jake Paul.

      Never thought that could happen.

      I’d be shocked if he doesn’t fight again in some capacity. Absolutely shocked.

      Honestly think he'd have a great chance to beat Chandler if he came back

      he wouldn’t have to do that for a freak show fight.

      He would have to stay clean at least, otherwise his heart will explode from certain vices he may have.

      He's not going to fight again unless it's for, at worst, a high eight figure purse.

      The best outcome would be Conor getting knocked out and Jake Paul breaking his hand so badly in doing so that he can never box again.

      Don't get it? Since when has he ever boxed?

      Are you and Conor sniffing the same stuff?

      McGregor is a recreational drug user rather than an addict. I guess it’s fair to assume he’s been off it since he went back into the testing pool.

      We can’t discuss the case until after the verdict, but as an aside one thing that came up that I thought was a bit funny was when McGregor was in the car initially he was wearing this big fancyass watch. There was talk of whether he was showing it off, which is neither here nor there, but this is something he likes to spend his money on so probably cost tens of thousands.

      Then at some stage later on, someone asks what time is it. But his watch doesn’t work so they have to grab a phone! 😄

      I don't think it's as easy as him being "recreational user" because even if he's not a typical drug addict and using the same amounts that some who are badly addicted are, he also quite clearly has a drinking problem. He's constantly being shown on the lash, every appearance he makes anywhere he's swigging back cans of that stout he's hawking. Before that it was the whiskey.

      I'm sure we've all had mates, family members, acquaintences who have developed issues with the drink. When you see Conor lately, he has that gargle-head on him. Constantly looks like he has high blood pressure, like he hasn't slept in days, bloated face etc.

      He definitely has addiction issues.

      If that fight happened it maybe the 1 and only time I might think of rooting for McGregor

      McGregor will never be a serious contender in UFC again and he and Dana know it. His only future foray in 'sport' will be a some mismatched makey-uppy pretend clown fight, and even that's becoming more and more unlikely.

      The Chandler withdrawal never seemed right for me, everybody suspected that Chimaev was serving a ban quietly, with the new procedures they don't have to announce when a fighter pops and can sort it out behind closed doors. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case here and the reason Dana has said the end of next year.

      He'll never fight again unless it's against YouTubers etc… The guy is finished

      He has now claimed he has agreed to fight Logan Paul in India…and then he will plan his return to the octagon.

      Struggling to stay relevant in a positive manner.

      His most recent appearances are concerning. Looks bloated and spouting a load of sh1te. You’d have to seriously worry for his physical and mental health at this stage.

      Between CTE and a few bad habits he'll do well to last too long alright.

      He has a bloated drinkers face these days

      He bought into this gangsta thing to big up the Khabib fight and went completely off the rails afterwards. He'd already decided to have a nasty mouth on him before then.

      He was hanging out with Irish criminals after the Khabib fight and I'm sure he was introduced to coke etc. by them.

      I've no sympathy for him. You make your own decisions and have to live with the consequences. I.judtvwsnt to see him fall.out of the limelight now. If he fought one of the Pauls and lost that should be the end of him.

      I have to say as much as I despise him I'd find it very hard to shout for either of the Pauls. I'll just give it a miss.

      Ironic now that hes bigging up having fights with Jake Paul and KSI and faced off against Jeremy "Who the **** is that guy" Stephens over the weekend.

      He's done with the UFC I'd imagine, but is he still in a contract with them?

      He's trying to stay relevant and famous and there's not a chance he can have hunger for fighting like some of the UFC guys.

      It's all about money now and the only thing is that makes sense for him is one of those meme fights against one of the Paul's or some other schmuck

      He has two fights left on his contract but not sure TKO would go for him now. Especially after the Vince McMahon thing. Not a good look.

      Hes has 4 fights in just over 8 years and lost 3 of them.

      He should just pack in fighting and stick to promotion.
