    Conor had arrest reports also but we are not allowed talk about it

    Read other posts about family not talking to him before hand Dana saying he has issues.

    People who whinge and moan bout gossiping bout conor are in here doing saying stuff about tony. Same rule should apply for everyone.

    Will we see this thread get locked and earnings handed out...... fck no its not bout Conor

    I can picture mods here meeting conor like giddy little school girls carring pink unicorns, Hi Conor i am a mod on boards and i never let any randomer say anything bad about on boards.ie

    Maybe next time try reporting the post instead of making smart arse comments about it on the thread..

    Is this rule about MMA discussion an attempt to drive all talk outside of a Saturday night to other sites? Seems silly that the Tony story can't be discussed, especially given the reaction on all other platforms has been one of support and genuine sadness at what has transpired. Do you really not trust the users of this forum to discuss it in a non-judgmental and respectful? I also think any argument about it not being MMA relevant is silly as well. He's one of the premier athletes the sport has and it explains his inactivity.

    Its madness, and needs to be properly addressed. Not being able to post in a chat thread about an mma fighter unless it involves a fight is stupid. The forum will die a death. Most mma sites have weekly articles about fighters lives outside the cage. The majority are fairly interesting also.

    Would it be appropriate to discuss it in the feedback thread?

    By all means, go ahead it was mentioned yesterday - I would highly recommend though that any discussion in there be done in an adult manner.

    Just watched the Askren/Calderwood Q&A, some Irish yobs at it, absolute cringe! :o

    Some fan asked should Sarj Eubanks have been stripped sooner for missing weight, I mean Jojo responded saying yeah and what not but obvs Eubanks never even held the belt. :rolleyes:

    Mixed up somewhere with Montano somehow possibly but her being rushed to hospital and subsequent inactivity isn't something to be as critical of than Sarje missing weight over on multiple occasions.

    No matter what people think about him personally, there's genuinely nobody who deserves this more than Bisping. Delighted for him.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It would take a huge amount of money for me to even consider being an mma referee.

    What a career Bisping had, i absolutely hated him at the beginning but he grew & grew on me & I ended up loving him, exactly the same trajectory I had with Tony Bellew. Honest as the come, hard as nails, gave their all in every fight.

    Joanne Calderwood is an official backup fighter for the flyweight title fight at UFC 238. She is already fighting Katlyn Chookagian but will be moved up if something happens with the main event.

    Dana and Ari are going nowhere, shenanigans will continue for a good few years yet.

    American ufc fans getting fckud over with this new ESPN thing it seems.

    They have to subscribe to the ESPN+ streaming app to be able to buy a PPV at the same price. PPVs only available to stream now, no more satellite or cable tv. Just going to send more people to watch illegally. Are they that brainless?

    They're probably getting a bigger percentage cut of the PPV cost and figure it's worth the potential drop off in buy rates. I remember hearing before the cable companies used to get around a 50% PPV cut which is mental.

    No. He's part of a consortium of people who own the thing. He's being paid by the rest of then for running the company on their behalf.

    I know he's part of Endeavour of whatever they're called now but I didn't realise he had any actual role in Zuffa, which is still the org running the UFC itself. So other than actually being part of the ownership crowd, what active role does he have?

    Got to say I really like Askren, he can come across a bit corny yes but he's able to **** talk pretty well without attacking peoples religion, children etc.

    That was brilliant that Curly headed **** tshirt he was wearing after Till called him it. Just seems to be having fun promoting himself and fights without taking it so serious or personal.
