Conor McGregor lashes out at Dustin Poirier 'smearing my name,' threatens to cancel trilogy

Conor McGregor has threatened to cancel his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 after his rival called him out on not following through with a promised charitable donation. On Sunday, Poirier (27-6 MMA, 19-5 UFC) went public with the information that McGre

He won’t cancel. If Dustin didn’t want to fight him Conors career would be over. Probably have to fight YouTubers for attention

1. Read both sides. He said he wants an action plan and doesn't want to just fork over 500k without knowing what is happening to it. Which is more than fair because Dustin is new to this sort of stuff. Previously Dustin's just been a volunteer soup kitchen type. It's a big level up. Conor donated over 3 million during covid and has donated millions to first responders.

2. It's probably just wolf tickets to sell the fight. Conor got in his head in the first fight. He may be trying to do it this time to put Dustin off. I doubt he could get under his skin given dustin is a lot more mature than the first fight and he has the confidence knowing he finished him in #2.

3. Career over lol. He has diaz 3 that can happen. Gaethje and Conor have history. RDA - he could fight him given it didn'teventuate last time. Rematch with Holloway has been bubbling and could happen at 155. If his next fight is a win he'll prob gone done the manny route again for the big pay day. Conor may have been finished but he's still the biggest draw in MMA...hands down.

4. The biggest loser in this is Dustin. He turned down a title fight to get this trilogy going. If it doesn't happen he missed that and a lot of money.

We’re about to see Anderson Silver fight Julio Chavez Jr. and on the same card we’re going to see Julio Cesar Chavez Sr fight Hector Camacho Jr. it’s a circus. Respect for getting in the ring but omg wtf are we doing here?

One of the biggest PPV fights this year will be a boxing match between a YouTuber and one of the worst strikers in MMA history. I don’t care about PPV

I hope Ben Askren beats the living daylight out of jake paul. Jake is nothing more than an egotistical twat, he narrowly beat deji who hardly trained then knocked out a NBA player, then acts like his the best boxer ever.

Well thats the state of boxing having to rely on youtubers and freak show events.

and that event you're referring to I doubt will be the biggest ppv purchase event in boxing this year.

Career as in belts not money. The belt is the only thing that matters. Conor is LOADED. The bloke spent a fortune on the worst watch I’ve ever seen. Best of luck to him, I’m half Irish after all.

Conor almost said it himself that he didn’t have it in him anymore after Dustin stopped him.

If Conor wins the next fight it’ll be amazing. Might even draw Khabib out of retirement. I just love a good fight tbh.

Askren can’t box. Forget it

Yeah probably why it keeps getting pushed back. Fury v Joshua is pretty big but really just UK audience. MMA has taken over. It’s a natural progression I spose.

The thing Askren can do is take hits, and he is going to always look to make it messy.

To who? Def not to Conor. He has always been all about legacy. He wanted to duplicate his Cage Warriors feat and then move onto bigger things. Hence the boxing. Also why he's happy to fight at different weight classes. Can't say the same for most fighters (khabib included - happy to drain his body to sickness just to keep that grappling advantage).

Being loaded would probably definitely impact his motivation...how could it now. Conor has always rallied well after a loss though. Diaz 2 was a big turnaround - a fighter that stylistically is a very bad matchup for him. Cowboy may be winding down but he obliterated him. Let's not forget Conor had dustin hurt badly (by Dustin's own admission), a few adjustments and it could be very different for #3.

I hope to god he does it dirty. Wear the bigger guy down and just dirty box. An MMA fighter losing to a youtuber would be awful.

My biggest worry is askren's motivation. That and the fact he openly admitted to avoiding striking practice for over 10 years because he never cared for it. Some of those striking attempts again maia...

Trying to be contrarian all the time means you sometimes end up looking like a fanny.

Yes the Democrats are complicit, but that's largely because the GOP has created an environment where you have to sign up to their program or you get destroyed as "socialist".

The Koch Brothers haven't been funding Democrat causes and candidates for decades.

it’s all a gop ploy...
While you’re busy with the passé culture wars, there’s an actual threat to democracy playing out..

Why Is Clarence Thomas Attacking Google?

Republicans are increasingly caught between big business and social conservatives. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in turn has started making anti-monopoly arguments.

Would anyone even know about this campaign if the media didn't sensationalize it?

Spot on. If you read enough BigFooty (or Reddit, Facebook, etc.) you'd be under the impression that we're about to be invaded by vegan, PC antifa members.

In reality, these things often have very little real world basis. I've been hearing about the "War on Christmas" for the last 20 years, and guess what? There's still Christmas!

Also, I find it hard to be afraid of what the North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network is trying to push when I (and everyone else who isn't lying) has never heard of the North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network before now.

For how often people who peddle this bullshit use the term "snowflake", there's a certain irony for how badly they need to escape their safe spaces and head into the real world to see that their outrage is baseless.

There’s some gold..

I'll give you a hint, below was his nickname...

Thought so.

My wife's grandad was at Tobruk. I've actually seen his personal photos from the siege.

Its basically a flat empty landscape with the pockmarked remains of a few damaged buildings. There is so little cover. Very casual attitude to uniforms too. Lots of them wearing no shirts, just shorts, boots and hats. It was probably to our advantage that its hot and dry here and our troops were a little better acclimatised and less hung up on parade ground type etiquette. They probably functioned better in the heat as a result.

But it blows me away how little cover there was. Must have been intense, heavy, scary shit with nowhere to hide.

you think the fights are a circus you should see the "people" that come to the pub i work at to watch them

Surely he’s not going to dodge the fight?

Does anyone know the potential damage Japan will do by dumping the radioactive waste from Fukushima into the ocean? Just sounds really bad to me.

It is radioactive waste going into the ocean, what do you think...

It's weird you don't realize it.
Maybe ask some LGBT people what they think.

Instead of doing your woke apprenticeship on social media via memes

Jeez this stuff is sad.

I know it’s bad I just want to know how bad? Surely it’s unacceptable. The US has backed them and China is against it. They can’t just dump it into the ocean ffs. Japan is saying they’ll filter it but it’ll still be bad.

Doubtful. I'd prefer him to fight gaethje tbh.

Depends on the volume, but Japan has long skirted environmental laws.

Weren't lots of them from WA as well?

Re Christmas;
Have you been to a public school christmas carol lately?
They don't sing any Christmas carols that have references to christianity.
Been the case for a few years now.

Some schools have renamed mother's/father's day to carers day.

Just a couple if examples off the top of my head.

Ohh i forgot , no more easter hat parades at some stage schools.

How is this baseless?
