Conor is going into full public meltdown mode. Didn't he have some big American PR firm with him during the court case? No sign of them any more it seems. Christ On A Bike

How is this man still under contract with the ufc, when Vince McMahon left wwe over claims of hush-money payments and allegations of sexual assault?

Vince has been dodging those accusations for decades.

Vince stepped down from WWE prior to the TKO takeover and it wasn't because of the allegations (everyone that followed wrestling knew about those), it wasn't even because of the hush money. The board were going to kick him out because he paid for the hush money using company funds which was misappropriation.

Vince then arranged the sale of WWE to TKO with a condition being that he be allowed back on. TKO were happy to do it to get WWE and once the Netflix deal was about to be finalised all of his allegations (which again everyone knew about) suddenly came up again in actual mainstream media so TKO were able to force Vince out once again.

TKO used Vince to get what they wanted and once he was no longer useful they dumped him at the earliest moment they could. That they haven't canned McGregor means they still see value in him.

And now his wife is going to be Education Secretary in the US. Jesus Christ, what is happening to the world? I mean, seriously if I could leave I would. But the only fucker who's working on that is that clown Elmo.

I miss the 90s.

She's implicated in a second lawsuit against Vince, for the ring boy scandal. The summary is that she and Vince knowingly employed a man, Mel Philips, that was preying on teenagers that would help set the ring up for the then WWF. They had fired him initially, and then brought him back on the condition that he stay away from the ring boys, which he of course did not.

Ah ok then. So she's well qualified for the job.

There is really nothing Conor can do to make Dana White turn on him.

Have you heard of Dana White? He’s not known for his feminist views.

How is he still a memember of SBG 'family martial arts gym', they used to run free classes for women to learn how to defend themselves against being attacked by men.

John Kavanagh is a pussy for not kicking him out, he always keeps his mouth shut when it comes to his star pupil
