    So you're saying that unless someone knows him, they should assume he's up to no good in his spare time? Despite the fact that the picture is was very clearly taken at the pool party Dana White organised for them in the Ultimate Fighter house!

    I am saying that its a bit silly for a poster who has never met the guy or partied with him to say definitely that its bull****. I am leaving it at that because firstly no good will come out of this and secondly I don't actually care what he does in his spare time, cocaine isn't actually a performance enhancer

    how come he was never catched with drugs if he was doing coke? hard to believe, he loves MMA more than anything

    They don't test for it.

    It wouldn't surprise me personally if he did the odd time, wouldn't bother me either. I don't hold him up to higher standards than I hold anyone else.

    They aren't supposed to release information like that.

    It was a major **** up on their part and Jon is still considering suing them.

    They do test for it but like most recreational drugs they’re just not supposed to do it out of competition.

    You’re not getting away with doing a few lines before you get in the cage.

    The difference between coke and weed is that coke stays in your system for a few days while weed can stay for weeks. That’s why you get so many more fighters done for weed in comparison.

    You can see it start to creep in more and more in this forum with McGregor but people would want to be very careful about things they are posting or accusing an Irish fighter of on an Irish forum. It's not like posts on here would take long to get back to his family/friends and I'm sure many of them read, if not post on Boards.

    If a solicitors letter arrived at the door arses would drop very quickly.

    Looks like a **** rap video.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,405 ✭✭✭Lukker-



    If you literally read back a few posts you will get your answer.

    In short, no. The guy said his friend was hosting the party. The house they are in is the MacMansion. (I know a few people said the TUF house but someone posted on reddit showing a pic of the exact spot in the MacMansion from another video)

    I'm guessing she's the hooker?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,940 ✭✭✭Tazzimus




    Well it's the party Dana threw in the TUF house so.. No I don't. At all.

    he looks tiny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,864 ✭✭✭empacher


    I personally dont care what fighters take that doesnt enhance performance. Who am i to care. Bit of charlie or molly at a party is ****ing grand.

    Whats the point in having money if you cant snort some coke with a 500 note.

    Only thing that would annoy me is seeing him use a 50 like the rest of us peasents.

    Its been debunked as being that party from the TUF house on reddit but who knows.

    Surely if he was pissed with the chap taking the pic he would have just grabbed the camera and deleted it.

    Or if he was really coked out of it wheel kicked him in the head.

    Although he could've missed, gassed out and then the guy submitted him.

    Drugs destroy communities the world over. I do give a sh it if he is doing it and would lose ALL respect for him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,681 ✭✭✭JustTheOne


    Is he really gonna be so stupid to get with hookers knowing his missus would find out straightaway.

    It would be out by now if that happened months ago as been suggested.

    Where the mods at?

    *Someone who isnt me) has taken every drug under the sun bar heroin, and has loads of friends thay have done the same. None have become addicts.

    All had some good years partying in college, and after. All have moved on from that faze into more real life stuff.

    Drug addiction has being proven time and time again not be a result of the drug but of underlying mental health problems on the person.

    Tldr. Drugs dont make addicts. Poor mental health services do.

    He really does. His head looks huge compared to his body.

    There have been limos in vegas that have been supplied with drugs, big bags of it.

    Just want to say the girls in the pictures aren't hookers. They're just girls from Dublin who met him in Vegas last summer.

    I am not going to say anything but unless you know him personally or have been in his company then I don't think you can make that claim so definitively.

    Well during the time that he guy says it happened, Conor was in Dublin.
    The house appears to be either the TUF house or the McMansion from Vegas.
    There's no actual evidence of coke and hookers. It's 3 people on the sofa during the day. One is drink a coctail, or maybe juice.
    It's from 4chan FFS.


    You're right, nobody can know what he has or hasn't done. It's fairly safe to say that the above story is nonsense though

    Well obviously it would be much harder than just saying it in practice. My point was that those are 2 very basic things you learn. I did tonnes of ground work against blue, brown & black belts and even if I got caught I knew to keep my chin down

    Where these blue, brown & black belts in JJJ or BJJ. As if it was BJJ, I'd be fairly confident that the higher belts were playing easy. If they wanted to, they could bring you out for a nice dinner, have their way with you on the way home and never call you again.
    Without getting right into the JJJ vrs BJJ side of things. I don't think it's unfair to suggest that a black belt in Japanese JiuJitsu roughly equivalent to a blue belt in BJJ. There's a huge difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it against an advanced opponent.
    Leaving your neck open like that is a very basic error to be making. Same goes for giving away your back. Both put you in a horrible position altogether.
    How many of them where punching you full force in the face at the time? This making a huge difference.

    Look at it this way, you've been swept and mounted, what would have done instead of giving up your back and neck?
    It's akin to playing the ball across your box in soccer or throwing a flat looped pass in rugby against a rushing defence, you simply don't do it, and if you do, your coach should be giving you a bollocking for making those kind of errors.
    If rugby or soccer allowed punching, both of those cock ups would be more common,.
    On the other hand, he was rocked and wrecked tired so maybe his brain turned off but those really are 2 basics of JJ. Furthermore, it's been a long time since I did JJ, but I'm planning on joining a club soon in Dublin

    Here's what Vinny Magalhaes said post McGregor fight
    (for the record, he's a pro MMA fighter, 3xBJJ world champion, ADCC champion, etc)
    For everyone ****ting on McGregor's Jiu-Jitsu skills, I wonder what they would have done differently if they were exhausted, with an excellent Black Belt on top them throwing some heavy bombs.
    I see some BJJ practitioners on my page saying how McGregor needs to learn Jiu-Jitsu, how white belt level his defense (or lack of defense was)... Well, go use your IBJJF Style jiu-jitsu in a fight, go berimbolo someone when strikes are permitted and tell me then how much better than McGregor you are on the ground.
    Nate didn't win because McGregor sucks on the ground, he first was able to tag him on his feet, he started to hurt Conor bad with his boxing, which led McGregor to go for a desperate shot, then like I said before, after getting hurt and being underneath a high caliber grappler, who's definitely much more skilled than him in that area, there was not much of a surprise to happen what we saw happening.
    That doesn't make YOU BJJ guy who never used your BJJ in a fight (let alone against a high caliber grappler) a better grappler than Conor as you might think.
    end of rant...
