As a huge MMA fan and IRISHMAN I'll fully support The Notorious!

I'm most certainly an IRISHMAN too... Just can't tolerate the bullshit. It demeans the sport, and just likens it to WWE wrestling in my opinion. I'd have far more time and respect for him if he showed the people he fights and the supporters that same respect. He doesn't, maybe he can't, or maybe he just chooses not to.
A few elocution lessons wouldn't go amiss for him though...

ok your an Irishman but clearly not an MMA fan or you would have defended yourself with that aswell. So tell me, how exactly are Conor's actions and words demeaning the sport? For me the huge performance enhancing drug culture within MMA is demeaning, not telling someone you rip his head off. Seriously? Your comparing MMA & wrestling? That arguement just highlights how little you know.
For me I want fighters to HATE eachother, to disrespect and tell their opponent all the bad things they are going to do to them because....they are fighters!! If I wanted to see people hugging in a big love fest I would watch glee & not MMA
"Trash - talking" is a part of these sports - including boxing since and before the days of
Muhammed Ali.IAli.It adds to the spectacle of the game and helps to add to the audience
and interest from T. V. companies which generates revenue.
All these fighters need a certain amount of arrogance (along with talent) to enter a ring/octagon , with the expectation of winning.
Mc Gregor is no different than many more fighters before him and certainly deserves
whatever Irish support he gets.
I used to dislike Mc Gregor but he is the sort of person that grows on you ,
The man is a serious athlete and you have to give him credit for what he has achieved ,
He trains hard and plays hard , nothing wrong with that.
He is no worse than any of the rest of them , they all talk the talk , it's backing it up that is important

No problem with working class accents or anything else. I'm working class myself. It's not the accent, but the shit that rolls off his tongue every time he opens his mouth that bugs me.
And while I get that trash talk is sadly integral to getting people to buy into it, this guys trash talk is so bad it's funny.
Fair play to him though, he's making a good living off his mouth and the reputation he's getting by using it.
Let's see if he can back it up against a real fighter, not the puddings they've been pairing him off with up to now
What a moronic comment. NO, he is not making a living off his mouth, he is making a living off being a great athletic and being undefeated in his UFC career. If you don't like him, fine, piss off and keep your comments to yourself because your ignorant views mean nothing to MMA fans
This time next month, McGregor will be UFC FW Champ :-)
