Molested a bouncer with a group of friends.

Same evening as above. Punched a visitor in the club in the ribs.

July 2011
Assaulted his ex girlfriend.

December 2th 2011
Headbutted the stepbrother of his ex girlfriend.

And those are just the accounts that are known. There is also video of him intimidating hotel staff.

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

LOL at Conor being Top15 in MMA GOAT ranking...

 

[VolkHan]

Lennox and the Klitschkos

 

[Morra]

Russia is about as European as China

I live in Europe

Russia is already excluded from Europe.

Go back to school lol

[Iroh]

Yup.

Because otherwise guys like Randy Couture wouldn't count as americans either, considering that all white americans are of european descent.

He doesn't count, because he hasn't achieved that much yet. Pretty sure were going by achievements and not just potential.

1: Mousasi (mma, boxing and kickboxing)
2: Overeem ( mma, grappling and kickboxing)
3: Cro Cop (mma, boxing and kickboxing)
4: Schilt (mma and kickboxing)
5: Hoost
6: Aerts
7: Klitchko
8: Mcgregor
9: Rutten
10: the rest

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Overeem, goes without saying! one of the best

 

[Feniamin]

Oleinik?
Honestly, didn't get how you decides who is from Europe. Based on citizenship? I mean, both Mousasi and Khalidov are not from Europe, since Iran and Russia is not Europe.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Overeem

 

[Vendettax]

McGregor

 

[fedoriswar37]

Joanna has something like 6 title defenses. Conor has 0.

Bisping was a better champ then Conor and he has 1 lol

 

[Franklin U.]

Joachim Hansen is up there. Stopped Gomi's run and then went on to beat most of the top LW's of that time. Beat Aoki later. And a otherwise strong career.

Hellboy on list fo sure ...further down but on list. A lightweight that you had to deal with up until 2008-ish.

 

[TR1]

I live in Europe

That makes your geographic ignorance even more embarrassing.

 

[GrizzlyMan]

Conor is a far better and more accomplished MMA fighter

Mmmmmmm, not really. Both are/were elite MMA fighters, and if you include kickboxing then Conor can’t hold a candle to CroCop’s resume. Fact.
Not knocking Conor at all though, great fighter.

 

[El Panteron]

So who are the greatest fighters ever from Europe, or higher ranked in the p4p GOAT list?

#1 - Conor (top15 worldwide)
#2 - Mousasi (top30 worldwide)
#3 - Overeem (top30 worldwide)
#4 - Mirko (top50 worldwide)
#5 - Rutten (top50 worldwide)
#6 - Arlovski - UFC champ and fringe contender in the absolute division for two full decades.
#7 - Bisping - became champ blind in one eye
#8 - Igor - king of the European scene in the 90s and Pride top HW contender
#9 - Jan - one of only 4 male UFC champions ever from Europe
#10 - Gustaffson - arguably beat all-time greats Jones and Cormier in their prime for the tittle

Im surely forgetting some

*Edit: Shilt, Hansen, Kongo, Lee Murray,

*Huge respect for Joana or Valentina, I dont include them for the same reason no woman shares a list with Leo Messi or Michael Jordan

Shevchenko surely deserves respect but she's in no way European.

 

[LoneStalker]

My favourites are Badr Hari and Jérôme Le Banner.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Choo choo mother fucker I live in Europe

Russia isn’t Europe

West of the Ural mountains is in fact Europe

 

[El Panteron]

I live in Europe

And?
We can live in Europe and be morons at the same time bro, and you make it look easy too.

 

[GrizzlyMan]

Shit, big miss
Not sure where to rank him though

I’d stick him right next to Mirko, probably one below rather than above, although he was a true early nhb pioneer so a lot of his early fights are lost to the mists of time and therefore he’s not considered as relevant as someone like CroCop...

 

[Iron Nick]

@pankrat Darren Till about to be in there in ~6-7 years!
