    BJ Penn was the first to have the opportunity.

    Yes I know Penn tried and failed, but you get my point. McGregor was the first in the UFC's current favourite marketing trick of dual weight champs. Even when it fell through with the collapse of the RDA fight they let him put the FW belt on the shelf for a year while he faffed about fighting WW and LW.

    PS on topic, McGregor is a scumbag but he wasn't always a scumbag, I know promoters who knew him on the way up and whilst he was always a cocky prick in the cage, he was respectful and a decent guy outside of it.

    But money can change people and it certainly seems to have changed him.

    I'd love to see him cleaned up and focused but sadly I don't think we'll ever see him really fulfil his potential. No doubting his achievements so far but he could have done so much more.

    I don't get the whole GOAT and legacy thing. It's prize fighting. Get in, get rich* and get out.

    *Only a fraction of a percent get rich.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Plenty of sportsmen and women are motivated by money. The best are also motivated by competitiveness.

    McGregor has made more from MMA than anyone else in history. But I totally understand the desire to be known as the best who ever fought, not just the wealthiest.

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

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

    As was randy couture.

    Simultaneously I meant, as in two titles at once from different divisions. He was the first. Anyway, even if he was the 1st, 2nd or 5th, still doesn't detract from the fact he's talented. I don't like him all that much but to deny he's good at what he does is just lying.

    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.

    a lightweight who went to extremes to cut weight and won the title..sounds like an achievement to me!!

    he picked Alveres apart man, a total masterclass

    hes a very unlikeable character but ya cant just deny talent and achievements because ya don't like a guy

    the red arrow is pointing at the phone. The guy in the white trousers is the owner of the phone. You can hear him say "let me get my phone man" before he picks it up

    Are you feeling ok?

    The "fan" has filed a civil lawsuit against Conor. He wants $15,000 on charges of 'battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress'.


    McGregors' lawyer said "Our office is in receipt of the civil lawsuit filed today, which is nothing more than a quick effort seeking a payday." Which is true but they will probably still pay out some cash anyway.

    100% trying to bate Conor into smashing my stuff if I ever meet him again. Could do with some extra cash.

    The strangest thing about the whole thing was the T-shirt.

    Given he's rumoured to be facing certain allegations that he hasn't denied in Ireland, a shirt emblazoned with "if I say it's happening, then it's happening" seems positively creepy.

    After his arrest he sold the shirt on his site for two days too.

    Leaves a very nasty taste overall.

    And he's walking in the Chicago parade today in pride of place.

    Maybe a float with the Hitches and Kinnehans next year.
