    Punching an old lad in the head and throwing a trolley at a bus are very different to what he’s been accused of here.

    I’d wait to see what comes of it before I make comment.

    I think people are saying how it paints a picture of what type person he is..

    We know exactly what kind of person he is.

    I’m just reminding people this is just an accusation. People with pitchforks drawn only want blood, not conversation.

    1 of the dumbest things I've ever read on boards but what would you expect of somebody who uses the term toxic masculinity with a straight face.

    UFC does have angry man vibes about it. It's a brutal spectacle that involves drugged-up knuckle-draggers kicking each other in the head while moronic fans bay for blood. There is definite links between it, angry men, extreme hardcore porn, feelings of hatred towards women, and other themes associated with incel losers.

    To get in the octagon takes a certain type of aggression and swagger and confidence..

    Definitely MMA athletes do have that innate aggression/swagger and gusto..

    Similar to boxers. The ones that excel in both sports have to have that kind of aggressive savagery..

    That is not to say that good and decent and “gentle” men can’t excel.

    How many of the men opposing me would feel comfortable leaving their sisters, daughters, even mothers, alone in a hotel room with Conor McGregor?

    My son once asked to let him try MMA training but my DH and I said no way. He will be going to a rugby school anyway when he wants to get into sport.

    Rugby is a team sport that is nothing to do with beating people up. Yes, it is physical and tough; but the innate nature of rugby is not comparable at all to MMA!

    How comfortable would you feel leaving them in a room with a certain rugby team? Bigoted nonsense.

    So your son has an interest in MMA and you immediately shut him down?

    Its one of the best things to get into training wise. I'd say its probably the best. It doesn't mean you have to compete.

    So you've decided allready he is going to be a Rugby player. Wow.

    Anyone blaming MMA for Conor's alleged behaviour is a moron.
    It's safer than boxing and I don't hear those same morons slamming boxing.

    And its something to do with hitting people. Its a hard hitting sport. Yes they arent fighting but they hitting each other with their bodies, when they tackle.

    UFC is one of the most cynically marketed products I've ever seen. They tapped into this crisis in masculinity by taking a niche and barbaric sub-sport and selling it to an audience of men numb to violence.

    McGregor is a perfect representative for what it's all about really.

    There's far too many reports about sexual assaults about McGregor and other fighters and very little condemnation from the world of MMA. All MMA does is train angry young men how to weaponise their anger, often against women, as I cited earlier.

    Like I said, it’s physical and tough. And dangerous..

    MMA and boxing are on a different innate level..

    Their whole aim is to target humans to inflict trauma; and with boxing, targeting the head almost all the time...lethal.

    MMA is a dangerous sport, wouldn't want my kid doing it oerosnally.

    Rugby can be very dangerous too though.

    Lots of benefits in doing either sport, but the risks arent worth it for me.

    This is very simple lads. This isn't a philosophical debate on MMA. This is about this incident involving Conor Mcgregor. Go to the MMA forum for the former.

    And you're talking ****e about a topic you have 0 clue about.

    Where is your evidence that mma is training "angry young men to harm women".

    Can you name three other fighters in the UFC cause your talking nonsense.

    On another note, Mcgregor is a scumbag but I don't understand why everyone thinks every fighter in the UFC is a scumbag.

    Mcgregor will end up in jail eventually.

    There is a culture of violence against women amongst MMA fighters, yes. I'm not the only one who thinks so either:

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jan/17/greg-hardy-ufc-domestic-violence-rachel-ostovich
    MMA fighters are nearly four times more likely to be arrested for domestic violence than NFL players.

    He did not get off with assaulting the elderly man in the bar.

    He was arrested, charged and found guilty in court.

    He was convicted of assault.

    How is that getting off??

    He served no jail time.

    From TMZ, his legal rep says no charges have been filed against him.

    So its just an allegation at thos stage, no charge.

    In fairness leaving the sport debate aside he's a terrible role model and representative for Ireland. Probably the worst since Larry Murphy.

    Poor old Conor Mcgregor...constantly accused of violence, cheating, sexual assult, rape by a range of people across different continents...constantly claiming he's innocent and getting away with it all the time.

    It's about time he served some serious jail time for all of his disgusting acts. He's a violent prick.

    Following this thread with interest got me wondering, where are the MMA neanderthals offering support for their Messiah, The King of Knackers, Conor, this evening.

    Not long ago I was threatened by one of his henchmen that I was going to be very sorry I disclosed my distaste for the MMA online. I was warned to 'disable all my online accounts immediately, or I'd be sorry'. ...Where are this National Embarrassment's apologists this evening?

    Uncouth, no self-awareness, narcissistic, bullying, grandiose, criminal.....use whatever adjective you want but there's no getting away from it, McGregor is now Ireland's answer to Donald Trump.
