Conor wants Chiesa lawsuit dropped: He wasn't the target; no real emotional distress

[OzoneX]

McGregor has filed a response to Chiesa’s suit admitting his conduct was “unquestionably inappropriate” but should not be considered “outrageous.”

Legal analysts pointed out how proving “outrageousness” is essential for collecting damages when it comes to intentional infliction of emotional distress.

McGregor has also argued that his actions were “clearly not directed at [Chiesa] at all” - which he said the judge should consider in evaluating the “outrageousness” of the incident.

In his court documents, McGregor further claims Chiesa has failed to prove that he suffered any real emotional distress from the incident - noting that he’s a “seasoned combat sports fighter” and therefore should be used to physical trauma.

Conor has publicly acknowledged that his target was Khabib Nurmagomedov - who was also riding the bus that day and who he later fought in a headline clash at UFC 229 in Las Vegas but lost.

Who cares if he was the target or not. Certainly McGregor didn’t care about anybody on that bus. He injured innocent people. Man up rich boy and settle out of court. It’s 100% McGregor’s fault.

When I ran over that guy with my car the other day I demanded the lawsuit be dropped because I genuinely wasn't aiming for him.

Lol chiesa is just sticking it to McGregor for being a douche. Hope he wins .

 

[Ying Li]

Chiesa is going to regret he didn't lock himself in his house like Rose to get that million dollar payday.

 

[Willek]

Chiesa said his plan was to drop his hands and not pass out to a choke for 28 seconds. Surely he can handle a little glass.

Conor knows his next loss is the end of money train. He should watch Tyson's documentary

greedy little leprechaun. Just cough up half a million, shouldn't be too hard unless he spent the floyd money on coke and escorts.

Conor has no legs to stand on here at all.

That's not how things work...

Chiesa did lose the opportunity to be a replacement for Holloway because of Conor, which must be pretty upsetting.

noting that he’s a “seasoned combat sports fighter” and therefore should be used to physical trauma.

So what, you can freely injure a pro fighter and deny him the right to complain about it?

I love how Conor is trying to fight this. So much fun seeing how the mind of a megalomaniac works

Like hell chesa will drop that. if there wasn't any "emotional distress" that pic is enough proof to sue Mcg for damages.

Mcg is trying to settle whatever he can without going into cout. fucking pussy knows he fucked up.

Huhhh.....that would be like me wanting to kill someone in his car with a rocket launcher and ending up killing 2 others riding with him due to the explosion and then claiming that i should only be accused of one murder since the 2 others were not the intended target.

I know i know it's an extreme exemple but it's just to show the flaws in Conor logic

 

[Krixes]

This is just a minor lawsuit for Conor, dudes been getting sued by everyone....

probably more so that If he gives In easily, It just makes him appear to be an easy target.

Which is the last thing an athlete on that level of stardom needs.
