Conor McGregor has had an amazing career full of highs and lows, but mostly highs. McGregor has been at the throat of the UFC recently by demanding he be allowed to fight in the lightweight division.

UFC president Dana White has been feeling the pressures of slipping fights, ratings and money since the pandemic hit. White also faced the public outburst of McGregor when McGregor released a text conversation between him and White. McGregor’s strategy was to force Dana White into submission and allow him to continue to, well, be Conor McGregor.

McGregor has not met the weight requirements for the lightweight division but insists on fighting within it. His opponents had their opinions on McGregor and don’t seem to be afraid to take him on, even at a heftier weight class.

McGregor had wanted to compete three times in 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic and disenchantment at options the UFC had presented to him led to an abrupt retirement earlier in the year.

McGregor wanted to return to the UFC in an exhibition fight involving Dustin Poirier in Dublin, but as they’re both contracted to the UFC, a pro fight offer was extended to both instead.

McGregor said he’d accept but demanded the fight be scheduled in November or December. Dana White refused and offered a take-it-or-leave it date of January 23.

McGregor eventually accepted. Now  Nurmagomedov issued a new ultimatum this week saying if he was desperate for a lightweight title shot he’d have to fight Poirier at 155-pounds rather than the welterweight limit of 170-pounds.

The American, a former three-time Bellator MMA lightweight champion and the newest UFC recruit, said that McGregor’s recent campaign at 170-pounds is “smoke and mirrors” because he’s fighting lightweights in that division rather than legitimate welterweights like Jorge Masvidal.

“For me, I show up at the weight they want me to fight. If the UFC is not willing to let catch-weights happen and says if you fight at 170 you’re not getting the title shot [at 155], then I’m fighting at 155,” Chandler said.

McGregor may not secure the 155-pound title shot if he keeps fighting at 170.

“Let’s be honest, Conor’s never fought a welterweight but has put on a facade fighting at welterweight. He’s never fought a welterweight at welterweight.”

Them is some strong fightin words from Nurmagomedov. Let’s see what happens and if this truly becomes a David vs Goliath story, or another money hyper dance in the UFC ring.

Understandably so, I have picked fights of my own when things don’t go my way. I tend to blame everyone else but me but that’s because I’m usually the one that right. In this case so was Damian. The goal tending call was missed 100% by the refs had that shot gone in, Trailblazers for the win possibly?

Obviously that didn’t happen and that’s why you are reading about this now. After the missed call Damian went into a frenzy and tried to fight the refs and pretty much all of the Utah Jazz. See video below:

Not long after words were expressed on Twitter, you know like any adult would rightfully handle this situation. This set off a chain reaction starting with the Jazz’s frontman Donovan Mitchell:

Donovan Mitchell: “I don’t see why a guy like Gary Trent should come in and think he can just punk us. … We’re not a team that you can come in and just talk trash to. We’re not just gonna back down. … That’s what we kinda lacked the past few games — just toughness.” pic.twitter.com/Repl9u006a

then Damian got into it:

Man stop… https://t.co/MyKXZko4TU

I said what I said… https://t.co/IrhB83kkVY

And the back and fourth went on:

Man ain’t not disrespect ain’t no beef im not finna let gary Trent talk shit and that’s just what it is… https://t.co/OMT1h01PyA

— Donovan Mitchell (@spidadmitchell) February 8, 2020

Lol…. https://t.co/9ljDQjczns

— GARY x TRENT x JR (@gtrentjr) February 8, 2020

Soon after this fun back and fourth, Damian decided the next best move would be to attack the refs:

We don’t wana hear this punk Ass shit. https://t.co/nuG56kaHbR

In the end, nothing happened and Portland still lost and we all became dumber for having read this. But you all love it you lil bastards.

I should mention before the main card fight, I did watch the preliminaries. The prelim fights were intense, bloody and sometimes boring. Lookin at you Holmes. Also, please don’t beat me up I respect you as a person and a woman. Also, you terrify me.

Anyways, the build-up begins. A whole segment on the McGregor strut plays out. I watch and I’m impressed. I will walk into work like that on Monday.  Then 3, 2, 1…. I pick up my chip,  drop some dip, look down to gather it up, fight over! I look at my wife and she says “hmm that barely lasted 40 seconds, I’ve had better”

God bless America and top o’ the morning to yah!
