Conor McGregor has consistently called for a true lockdown in his home nation of Ireland and it appears he has finally got his wish.

Earlier this week he released a video statement calling on the Irish government to introduce full lockdown without hesitation, he said

“While we are currently debating
a full lockdown, I feel that we must. Any time spent debating this is needless
time from the clock. I know a good, tough fight when I see one and we have one
on our hands now.” 

The Irish government reacted to his calls last night by introducing new sweeping restrictions to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Prime minister Leo Varadkar announced the measures on Friday evening which will restrict people from traveling 2km from home, end all non-essential work and severely restrict offshore travel.

‘Notorious’ released another video statement reacting to the news and calling for the government to go even further with these new lockdown laws.  “We have now entered a more substantial lockdown and I am pleased to see it,” he said. You see, if you do not enter the game you cannot win it. We have now entered this game and with strict adherence to the methods we will win.

“To the Irish public, we must abide by the legislation put forth tonight by our leaders. No further than 2km from home, no unessential travel and full closure of all non-essential business. Now more than ever we must abide by this and I pray for the health and safety of our country that we do. The fate of our lives and the lives of our loved ones depend on it.”

“I would like an understanding of our airports. Our airports must shut. The only flights to take place is for our essential medical equipment, or to bring our medical abroad back home to support. The airports must be shut for everything else”

Jon Jones

UFC
light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones was arrested on Thursday morning for
driving while intoxicated and negligent use of a firearm.

A video provided to MMA Fighting by the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office shows footage of Jones undergoing sobriety tests and subsequently being arrested.

In the clip Jones complains about suffering with ADD and short-term
memory loss, he says.

“I have ADD (attention deficit disorder).
I get punched in the head for a living.”

“My short-term memory is really bad. People
don’t know that about me but it’s really bad.”

Upon completing one of the tests, Jones is asked if he intends to drive again tonight after previously admitting to having consumed alcohol, he responded.

“I got stir crazy. I got pulled over just being nice to the homeless people. I got stir crazy. It was my first drive in two weeks. I saw these homeless guys, I was being nice to them, having a conversation with them. Treating them like humans.” Check out the full video below.

This is not the first run in Jones has
had with the law. Back in 2012, Jones was arrested for driving under the influence.
He had crashed his car into a pole in New York. Ultimately, he pled guilty to
DUI charges, was handed a fine, and had his driver’s license suspended for six
months.

Three years later, Jones was involved in a hit-and-run incident in Albuquerque after he ran a red light and smashed into two vehicles before fleeing the scene. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and Jones later turned himself in, pled guilty, and received 18 months of supervised probation.
