@@alanshanagher I'll never judge a famous man for their love affairs because Conor is actually with his highschool or early childhood sweetheart and if he is a proven philanderer, it wouldn't surprise me as we don't know what arrangements Dee and him have and he must be getting women courting him all the time, everywhere he goes. This isn't Jon Jones or Dana White smacking their wives around.

Was not expecting this. That's the version of Conor that we want to see. And it when you do see it, it's hard to believe that that isn't the real Conor. This version rings true. The rest is all noise. Really looking forward to seeing him back in the octagon. Legend.👊

The problem is that he cannot back up the trash talk when it comes to fighting the REAL best fighters. I can respect his run in the UFC, but do I think he will hold a belt? HELL NO! GSP can come back now and become a contender, same with Jones and Khabib. Conor is NOT that guy....
