Maximus Decimus Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 2 hours ago, MattSantos said: I dont disagree with your commentary, i just find it odd that theres so much vitriol for a bloke who is playing a vilian to make look after himself and his family. Fair play to him. I suppose this is the issue, whether it is an act or not. I think initially there was the understanding that it was an act but this has certainly become blurred. Many seem to see him as some sort of a hero because in their eyes he says it like it is. If that is offensive and hurtful then all the better. Like I said it all feeds into a culture of nastiness and laughing at people's misfortune. I'm not a big UFC fan but I first became aware of him because of his quick knockouts, not because of the way he acts. I'm aware that part of his fame to that point was because of his attitude but I do question how much he really needed to go to extremes to make his money.

He held .belts in two weight classes If he gets his motivation back a.fight with khabib would.be interesting And khabib was responsible.for starting the brawl.with macgregor It's easy to say you're not scared of taking a loss after you've made wild pronouncements about knocking people out within 4 rounds. He chose to come into boxing, nobody forced him and he did very well out of it. The problem with a Khabib rematch is how easily Khabib won. McGregor needs a win tonight or he might be forced to retire. If you ignore everything that happened prior to the brawl then it was Khabib's fault. If you think words or actions matter then it isn't all one way. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

Kayakman Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Over here McGregor is what is known as 'white trash'...that being said he is a good fighter, but not a great boxer. He is a punk, but a dangerous punk nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see quite a few on Youtube of just re-uploads with the video flipped, or incredibly zoomed in to the point of it not even worth watching (depending on the video in question) Computers are getting very good at spotting them, it's a shame all the money seems to be on identifying these videos, rather than various other types that are all over, especially with Facebook as an example - They need to invest more to get rid of certain other content, but they don't seem to care too much!
