      It’s ok, you can be pissed that a rapist is being platformed at all. Especially in mainstream media.

          He’s doing one more fight with another retired old fighter. Also, he got popular enough that he’s trying to pivot to other things, kinda like Tyson.

            Connor McGregor is definitely a fucking asshole and not relevant as a human being, let alone as a fighter. But Max Holloway is not retired, even if he is “old” in fight miles. He’s in fact the current 4th ranked Lightweight in the UFC, and by all accounts a very decent human being (even if he does punch people for a living)

              Apologies, I don’t follow mma too closely. Can’t wait to see Max sleep Connor.
