UFC lightweight Conor McGregor continues to make headlines for seemingly everything but actually defending his titles.

Last night, the MMA superstar appeared at the British Fashion Awards with British singer Rita Ora, who tweeted that she was on a ‘date night’ with ‘The Notorious,’ who obviously has a longtime girlfriend and newborn son at home.

Check out the singer’s sultry get-up alongside a slick purple suit from McGregor, who’s been known to have arguably the keenest fashion sense in MMA:

It may not be the best look for the Irish knockout specialist, yet appearing at a fashion awards show is still a far cry from his alleged bar fight with Irish mob members in Dublin after he set the fight community ablaze by jumping into the catch at Bellator 187 to shove referee Marc Goddard and smack a security staff member.

Not surprisingly, Twitter took to taking McGregor to task for his ‘date’ with the famous songstress, blasting him with a variety of accusatory tweets.

Max Holloway Brutally Trolls Conor McGregor After UFC 218 Win

UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway picked up his second third-round TKO over Jose Aldo in one year when he stopped the 145-pound legend in the main event of last night’s (Sat., December 2, 2017) UFC 218 from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway picked up his second third-round TKO over Jose Aldo in one year when he stopped the 145-pound legend in the main event of last night’s (Sat., December 2, 2017) UFC 218 from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

After the impressive victory, UFC president Dana White hinted at a rematch between Holloway and former UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, who beat a 21-year-old Holloway way back at 2013’s UFC Fight Night 26. Since then, he’s won an unheard-of 12 straight fights, becoming one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in mixed martial arts in the process.

McGregor, on the other hand, won the lightweight title from Eddie Alvarez at 2016’s UFC 205, but was stripped of the 145-pound belt shortly thereafter and has not fought in MMA since after spending all of 2017 fighting Floyd Mayweather in boxing. Perhaps more importantly, he’s been involved in a series of concerning outside-the-cage incidents, jumping into the cage and pushing a referee at Bellator 187 before allegedly being involved in a bar fight with the Irish mob last weekend.

But that didn’t stop him from blasting Holloway after his win on Twitter earlier today as he posted a photo of “Blessed” after he defeated him:

The featherweight champ wasn’t having it, however, as he rapidly fired back at McGregor by suggesting he missed the past because he was now “retired”:

McGregor has been tabbed for a potential title unification fight with interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson, but even White admitted the Irish megastar may never fight again, and also that the UFC is currently in negotiations with McGregor on a new contract, in which he reportedly wants his own promoter’s stake.

That makes McGregor vs. Holloway II an unlikely bout at this point in time, but it’s hard to argue with Holloway’s suggestion at the same time.

Will we ever see McGregor in the Octagon again?

Woodley Reveals Why Conor McGregor Doesn’t Want PPV-Grossing Fighters On His Cards

Conor McGregor has found his way back into the headlines for everything but his MMA career, but even if he does make it back to the Octagon, there are apparently some stipulations he’s bringing with him.

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley says the 155-pound champ refuses to fight on a pay-per-view with any other high grossing fighters.

Woodley discussed the word on McGregor’s current relationship with the UFC to MMA Junkie Radio and the demands McGregor is now making as a multi-millionaire following his boxing match against Floyd Mayweather in August:

“From what I hear, if he’s on the card, he doesn’t want any pay-per-view grossing fighters on the card with him. Because he doesn’t want to feed us any more, which I can respect. The dude is the draw. You can hate all you want, but he’s the draw. He’s that dude right now.”

“They’ve kind of opened up the door for Conor to do whatever the hell he wants to. He’s slapping commissioners and doing whatever he wants. The blueprint is kind of set for Conor to have his own set of rules, and then everybody else follows the old-school rules.”

“The people that are going to watch me are going to watch Conor. There are people that watch Conor that might not watch me. So I can see where he’s coming from, in basically feeding us to get pay-per-view. I really don’t have an issue with that.

McGregor hasn’t stepped foot in the Octagon since defeating Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight strap back in November 2016. The aforementioned Mayweather bout proved to be a massive financial windfall for the UFC champion, making his MMA return uncertain at best.

UFC President Dana White said recently that he wasn’t sure if or when McGregor will return, citing the money he had made from the Mayweather bout and the grueling lifestyle of a professional fighter.

In McGregor’s absence, Tony Ferguson is now interim lightweight champion, but there’s no guarantee McGregor’s potential comeback fight would be against him.

Irish Judge Goes Off On Conor McGregor For Missing Court

Conor McGregor just can’t stop making headlines for incidents that have nothing to do with actually fighting.

One day after a prominent Irish crime reporter believed him to be in ‘very serious danger,’ after he allegedly got into a brawl with the Irish mob in Dublin on Sunday nightMcGregor issued a response to those who were supposedly looking for him.

McGregor’s dad wasn’t worried about it all, but the UFC lightweight champion, who has yet to make a title defense since winning the belt in November 2016, has now angered an authority of an entirely different sort.

According to a report from the Irish Independent, McGregor no-showed a court appearance in Dublin’s Blanchardstown District Court for a speeding violation earlier today, a hearing that had already been adjourned twice this month. McGregor’s solicitor Graham Kenny, who was present to enter a guilty plea for McGregor, said he would call McGregor to come to court and the hearing was scheduled for later today.

But judge Miriam Walsh was none too pleased by the brash MMA superstar’s decision not to show up, stating that he needed to be present as he was ‘disrespecting the court’:

“I’m getting nothing but fingers from Mr McGregor, if he wants to make a case he has to be here,” she said.

“This is absolute disrespect to the court.”

Walsh also went on to say that a bench warrant would be ‘coming his way’ if he failed to show up, which was revealed he eventually did to pay a small fine:

A bigger story than his speeding ticket, which he was cited for after breaking the 100km/h limit on N7 Naas Road back in March, was his short response to reporters outside of the court, which many took as a direct response to the mob members who are allegedly looking for him.

Just another day in the life of MMA’s biggest star. Now if fans could only see him fight in the Octagon.

Conor McGregor’s Father Reacts To Rumors His Son’s Life Is In Danger

Reports have been flying out of Ireland that UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor’s life is in ‘very, very serious danger’ following his alleged Dublin bar fight with a notorious Irish gangster last weekend, but his father, Tony McGregor, doesn’t seem to be all that worried.

‘The Notorious’ MMA star’s father recently spoke to Irish Mirror (via Balls.ie) to offer his view of the situation, offering the stance that it had grown completely out of control and that his son had nothing to worry about:

“It’s grown legs and it’s getting that ridiculous – it’s become funny. We have nothing to fear here whatsoever. There’s no one after us for anything.”

McGregor insisted that he and his family were law-abiding, and offered an odd comparison of his son’s current situation, which he views as almost total nonsense:

“We’re a law-abiding family and we’ve stayed a law-abiding family. As a matter of fact, right now I’m going out to buy my TV licence. I’d view 95% of that story as nonsense and the other 5% is overly exaggerated. And that’s it.”

Finally, Tony McGregor also heard the rumors that the Irish Gardai were preparing to approach his son with an order declaring his life was in official danger, but he also shot down that possibility by confirming his beliefs that guards wouldn’t be looking for Conor because they had no reason to.

With that established, McGregor revealed that Conor was reportedly at home with his son and girlfriend Dee Devlin as their family got ready for Christmas:

“Guards have no reason to be in touch. Why would they?”

“He’s at home with his son. We’re all just settling down for Christmas now. I’ve just got the grandson’s presents in today, they just came in from America.

“I’ll be wrapping them, putting them under the tree for the big day. That’s it.”

Th mixed martial arts (MMA) universe is currently abuzz with the bizarre rumors of Conor McGregor’s alleged bar fight in his native Dublin, Ireland, this past Sunday.

Dana White said he didn’t believe the hype while acknowledging McGregor may never fight again to reporters yesterday, but a renowned Irish crime reporter believes McGregor’s life may be in ‘very serious danger.’

On the heels of that concerning bit of information, a photo of the man who McGregor was alleged to have punched, rumored Irish cartel member Graham ‘The Wig’ Whelan, at The Black Forge in Dublin’s Crumlin suburb has surfaced online. Check it out:

Although no complaints nor reports have been filed by Irish police concerning the alleged assault at this point, rumors are swirling that McGregor either punched Whelan, a friend of his, or even his elderly father.

Newstalk’s Paul Williams said that the men he supposedly assaulted may be connected to one of the most ruthless crime families in all of Ireland, hence the reason for his life being in danger.

It’s been a rough-and-tumble month for McGregor in his native land, and by no small fault of his own. With the MMA world awaiting his first-ever UFC title defense, will the sport’s biggest star be able to bounce back from this concerning downward spiral, or will he join Jon Jones as yet another cautionary tale of MMA superstardom?
