Who could have possibly thought that someone who beats the hell out of guys for a living would be a piece of shit damn
To be fair, there are a bunch of counterexamples. It definitely feels on-point with this one though.
True, but even some of the counterexamples have counterexamples of their past behavior. Concussions are complex brain injuries that can be (and often are) personality altering. Organized sports leagues, including MMA, will go to great lengths to make sure the transgressions of their star athletes are swept under the rug.
There are a lot of super normal nice people who do mma.
How many punches and kicks in the head before they aren’t nice and normal anymore though?
I know that bare knuckles are supposed to limit the velocity (and thus impact force) of punches, but it still seems unlikely it’s not doing any damage. Especially if heading a soccer ball is bad.
We know for a fact that TBIs (traumatic brain injures) can cause significant character change and even drive people crazy not even mentioning cognitive decline.
Everyone knew of TBI effects in boxing for decades so its not some new revelation. Even historically there are records of fighters dramatically changing character when suffering a TBI. Phineas Gage is super famous example from 19th century where railroad worker got brain stabbed and turned super aggressive despite not having physical injuries, his friends said "he was no longer Cage".
These people are literally brain damaged 🙄
Always has been and always will be.
Last week, Donald Trump singled out “Conor” – who last year was found liable for sexual assault after a civil trial – as one of his favourite Irish people.
It's so goddamn predictable, isn't it?
If trump said he loved epstein, his supporters would go "... actually he is a pretty good guy. Democrats framed him using hunter bidens laptop. Hillary's emails showed they wanted to kill him for actually trying to fight AGAINST pedophiles... have i seen the emails? No but all the emails have been deleted and trump said he read them and then deleted them to protect the safety of children. And i trust him because god appointed him president.. Also why are you questioning me? Sleepy Biden can't even speak correctly! Why are you not questioning your dear biden!? You fucking democ-rat libtard! 😡"
this lowlife is among the worst to represent the Irish people
No one here in Ireland likes him.
Thank you for speaking up! Canadian of Irish ancestry here and I honestly thought he was a national treasure. But we don't often see news of Ireland.
Check this thread (on reddit unfortunately). The comments really sum up our sentiment towards him. https://safereddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1jddev6/that_says_it_all/
Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone except this piece of shit (and those like him).
His walk really annoys me. Like I know he would knock my ass out but come on dudes a fucking idiot.
Stands to reason that a dude who got good at punching and being punched in the head doesn’t have the most nuanced take.
Also, are all the people Trump supports convicted of sexual crimes.
It’s wild for someone Irish to be railing against immigration. Its like all the Cuban folks railing against immigration currently: know the history of your people and have an ounce of empathy.
They have a large housing crisis, and some people care about the poor that are overwhelmingly affected by it.
His cocaine habit is on par with Elon’s ketamine habit, unhinged like his shin bone.
It’s cute how he thinks he matters
Well our fucking president gave him a platform so I guess he matters a little.
Guy who gets hit on the head for money shouldn't be listened to ever.
If you can't see the irony of an Irish dude going to the US Whitehouse to complain about immigrants then you need to work on your sense of humor
Maybe he should immigrate to the US.
totally on brand with trumpism
No surprise he was invited there.
Honestly I thought I was reading the onion here
It really does get harder and harder to tell these days.
Conor McGregor in the white house for an offical visit. It's as absurd as having someone like Mike Tyson in the white house. Ya he's famous, but shouldn't be held up by our government for any reason.
Or Kid Rock. Or Ted Nugent.
The loud drunk that beats up old people if they criticize his product is conservative?
Basket of deplorables
So a guy whose job is to get punched in the face repeatedly is speaking to the nation live from the white house
Interesting
Nothing is shocking anymore!
knacker
He's one of those athletes using all the muscles except the one that matters.
Useful idiot stooge.
Many countries are doing mass immigration to goose GDP to hide a recession.
Looking at Ireland they have doubled immigration, meaning they too are goosing GDP.
They also have a housing crisis as well, so its clearly being done for fake economic growth at the expense of the poor.
