| Subject: A classless spastic prima ballerina aka Conor McGregor has soul-searching to do after latest loss to Dustin Poirier Sun Jul 11, 2021 8:59 pm | |
| LAS VEGAS — The T-Mobile Arena record crowd of 20,062 at UFC 264 Saturday turned out largely to see Conor McGregor. The paid gate of $15.7 million was largely a result of McGregor’s magic promoting fights.
UFC president Dana White said there were 1.2 million pay-per-views sold in the U.S. by 8 p.m. and he expected the U.S. total to end between 1.7 million and 1.8 million. That, too, is because of the passion McGregor creates among the UFC’s fan base.
But where McGregor was once a clever, witty delight, he has turned into an overbearing boor who doesn’t know where to draw the line.
After threatening for weeks to send opponent Dustin Poirier out of the cage on a stretcher, it was McGregor who needed assistance to leave the cage Saturday and underwent surgery at a local hospital on his left leg.
Even beaten and the clear loser, 1-3 in his past four MMA fights and 1-4 in his past five fights overall, McGregor didn’t know when to shut up. After referee Herb Dean called off the bout at the end of the first round and awarded Poirier the TKO victory because McGregor couldn’t continue, the former dual champion again threatened to kill Poirier.
He shouted at Poirier as he sat on the canvas and made a gun signal to his head.
It was classless, boorish and, sadly, typical McGregor these days.
