So in case you haven't heard, a guy from Conor's camp was fighting someone two days ago and won by TKO. The guy he was fighting died today.


"Terrible news regarding Joao Carvalho.
To see a young man doing what he loves, competing for a chance at a better life, and then to have it taken away is truly heartbreaking.
We are just men and women doing something we love in the hope of a better life for ourselves and our families. Nobody involved in combat sports of any kind wants to see this. It is such a rare occurrence that I don't know how to take this.
I was ringside supporting my teammate, and the fight was so back and forth, that I just can't understand it.

My condolences go out to Joao's family and his team. Their man was a hell of a fighter and will be sorely missed by all.
Combat sport is a crazy game and with the recent incident in boxing and now this in MMA, it is a sad time to be a fighter and a fight fan.
It is easy for those on the outside to criticise our way of living, but for the millions of people around the world who have had their lives, their health, their fitness and their mental strength all changed for the better through combat, this is truly a bitter pill to swallow. We have lost one of us.

I hope we remember Joao as a champion, who pursued his dream doing what he loved, and show him the eternal respect and admiration he deserves.

Rest in peace, Joao."
 
that's a nice message, well done.

RIP Mr. Carvalho
 
Terrible news. Condolences to his family.
 
And now all we have to do is wait till the Conor haters turn this into something negative about Conor.



ot: Respectfull message by Conor.
 
Feel bad for the guys family. This is one of the risks, as real as it gets.
 
Mcgregor showing some class and respect for a change. Well written and genuine.

Great message by Conor.
If he would speak like this always, I would be one of his supporters.
And the crazy part is that I know Conor is but an act he puts up for the cameras....

Shadows, I'm with you on this.
 
I hate to say this but it amazes me that there isn't more of this.

It's actually quite shocking the punishment some of these brave young men take during a fight.
 
It's sad to have things like this happen. I'm glad to see a top guy like Conor giving respect like this. Hope the other Champs follow suit . RIP.
 
there's a clip of the last minute of the fight and the stoppage. It's pretty messed up to watch it knowing what happens after. Especially when it looks no different than your typical stoppage.

not having a go at you man, the first part was sarcasm

Ahh got ya, sarcasm hard to read sometimes. I was more incredulous than anything else. I know a lot his personality is posturing and bombast for the media and hype/fight promotion, but I think some of it is real. That being said, he's probably a good guy, otherwise his team wouldn't be so loyal to him.
