Labhair Conor McGregor le Máire-Treasa Ní Cheallaigh, iriseoir Nuacht TG4/RTÉ, ag ócáid phreasa in Ionad Tionóil Bhaile Átha Cliath inniu. D’éirigh le Máire-Treasa cúpla focal Gaeilge a bhaint as an trodaí a d’fhreastail ar scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge i dTamhlacht agus i Leamhcán sular bhain sé a cháil amach i gcró an UFC.
Fair play, in fairness.

The crowd of knobs at the Q&A was only embarrassing.
felt the same. just a dopey bunch of foul mouthed drunks. exactly what the rest of the world presume we’re like. brilliant.
Gurry meely moh agut
I can not wait for him to get beat.
Likewise.
I hope he gets the mammy and daddy of all hidings.
me too
Why?
Maybe you’re following it too closely, stand back, watch from afar, leave the man be to enjoy his moment in the lime light, he’ll be gone in a couple of years.
Leave ‘im off I says, leave ‘im off :)
Between this twit and something called a Niki Minge at the Point last nightthe traffic in the city of Dublin was insane. What in the name of God/Xenu/Cthulhu is wrong with people. Why on earth would you go out of your way to see these Idiots?
Something knacker someone Clondalkin
While this comment is likely to garner a chorus of disapproval, like him or loathe him, Conor McGregor’s a pretty incredible athlete.
I’ll +1 that
+ a haon
Really don’t think this guy gets the credit he deserves, amazing role model. Gone from the dole queue to multi millionaire in 3 years through incredible hard work and smarts.
A bit like John Gilligan so.
You can have money and still be a complete knob. I understand it’s image and hype for the sport. But there are classy was of doing things.
I don’t put any importance on being “classy”. He is who he is, I respect his work ethic and positive mental attitude.
Unbelievable athlete. I used to think he had some smarts though, before this build-up campaign. His name is made, Aldo’s name is made, what the hell is he going round acting like an idiot for? More people are losing interest in him than gaining.
Creating hype and maintaining respect is much like making love to a beautiful woman…and very soon McGregor’s gonna be snoring face down in a pillow while the fighting public collectively clip up their suspenders, run their pinkie over the slight smudging of lipstick in the mirror, slip out of the hotel room, call their father, and cry.
an ugly two faced woman surely?
With you on this Mikey.
He’s clearly a very very accomplished fighter and has the gift of self promotion to boot. He’s a sport like this wet dream.
Can’t help but feel stunts like the belt snatch are over the line though.

Role model? Looks like your moral compass is out of whack…
A lad who likes kicking the absolute plop out of other lads and boasting about it is hardly someone I’d like my son/daughter to emulate.
His focus and determination is what is being referred to here I suspect.
you mean like those rugger chaps?
He’s an obnoxious tool.
If he wasn’t Irish, all his ‘fans’ would despise him or maybe wouldn’t even know what this ‘sport’ was.
One of these days I’m expecting Dana White to pull off his mask and reveal that he’s actually just Vince McMahon all this time. I don’t like the forced pageantry around these fights. He’s undeniably a fantastic athlete, but McGregor’s pantomime antics make him come across as an ignorant backstard and if he wants to identify himself so strongly as Irish he should probably bear in mind his behaviour reflects on us all. Even though, it’s probably more a contractual obligation rather than his genuine personality.
Vince McMahon is way better to the talent than Dana.
Liked how he – McGregor, corrected White recently when White said all the of the U.K. would be watching..

Video clip there too.
White pointed at McGregor as he said the UK, but the Dublin fighter quickly corrected him.
“Ireland will be watching,” McGregor told the UFC president, raising a hand to interrupt him.
“Ireland, Ireland. I thought that was the same thing, apparently not.” White laughed.
McGregor retorted: “It is most certainly not.”
shouldn’t you be in the kitchen?
No, I prefer the bedroom.
You’ll never get a woman with that attitude.
You won’t get a man unless you can make proper scones. Fact.
They dont say that when they’re tuckin’ into me muffin..
That’s terrible.. Sorry, very sorry administrators.
They love it really
But Anne is a chap letting on to be a laydee commenter for some reason. Not even doing it well either. Gonads on view regularly. What kind of sick ladyboy flirty party have you got yourself involved in Joe?
how do you know I’m not really Josephine mrtits?
I’ve already asked Anne about this and he’s told me quite clearly that he doesn’t have a cock
Can’t help but feel the same, although I’m coming round to it I just can’t shake the pro wrestling entertainment aspect of UFC
He epitomises plonkerism
No questioning his ability as an athlete, he’s incredible.
But this whole ‘heel’ persona is just a plain deterrent when it comes to the sport and more specifically Conor himself. All you have to do is watch a Q and A with the UFC officials compared to one with a fan/random punter and you can tell it’s scripted. He’s got some great ‘wit’ when he’s had a had the questions passed on to his publicist/manager before hand but when he’s asked the most basic question by a fan he can hardly make a coherent point. He’s got a marketing campaign that’s working for him but this whole foightin’ Oirish thing and all these antics certainly leaves a bad taste. His social media pics look like stills from an Irish remake of Scarface produced by RTE.
UFC is pure scripted, reality TV bullpoo. McGregor is an embarrassment and the Tapout t-shirt, wearing clowns that follow him are worse. It is a shame that this gowl has become the successful face of the Irish sporting landscape.
top of the morning to ya begorrah to be sure Sorr
Has he talked like a five year old his whole life or just since he started getting punched in the head?
He seems to have a media voice to go with his media persona. When talking to camera he rarely uses contractions. Each word is very clear and very distinct. When caught off guard this doesn’t happen. It could be that he’s aware of the global audience and wants to be sure he’s understood by as many as possible.
Is this guy a boxer or a wrestler or wha?
