VID: McGregor admires Putin

[Pyreen]

Since there hasnt been a lot of talk about McGregor lately, here is something I just saw on the UG: Match TV (channel that broadcast the RIZIN shows, Russian sports channel) did a documentary on McGregor, here's a clip of him talking about his admiration of Putin for taking no shit from anyone:



and the full documentary (called "Irish without rules" per google translate) :




Apparently Conor is pretty big in Russia in terms of MMA fighter renown.

Edit: Changed thread title because TMZ and clickbait

Putin would destroy Conor.

not anymore, i feel

putin has black belt in judo it would be easy payday

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Putin is alpha as fuck.

 

[effervesciata]

That's because Putin does what Conor would like to do - he murders journalists.

 

[milenss]

Yeah. Conor is pretty big in Russia. Aldo was big, until Conor sent him into oblivion. Now it's Conor.

Putin is a traitor of Russia, sadly. He has sentiments toward him because he's a judoka, but that's it.

 

[Pyreen]

Yeah. Conor is pretty big in Russia. .

Thanks for confirming, I take it you are Russian?

 

[Drogon]

Putin is alpha as fuck.

lol yes, murdering all your opponents is pretty alpha i guess

 

[Pyreen]

Russian translator dubbed over Conor's voice? I can't fap to this.

LOL the only way I could get the first UFC tapes way back in the day was Russian dubs. The same voice did the commentators, the announcers and all the fighters. You get used to zoning them out after a while.

Pretty lame considering Conor seems to be a big LGBT "ally." He's just kissing Putin's ring like all these other sycophants afraid of getting Litvinenkoed/Nemtsoved.

The commentators were very biased during his fight with Nate. Pretty much how Rogan is when he likes a guy: it's all about what he throws, what he lands, what lands on him, but when the other guys does something, it's either not mentioned or a huge shock.

From what I've observed on Russian social media, Conor was very popular and attracted a lot of noobs. They were shocked, butthurt, and full of excuses when Nate beat him.

Conor is very big, mostly every mma fan knows him in Russia. Even some of my friends back in Russia, have talked to me about him losing this weekend.

But my girlfriend who never watches sports, hasn't ever heard of him, so I can't blame her ahah.

 

[mudrubble]

Putin would destroy Conor.

Didn't he wrestle? Still depends on his chin. He will get hit with the left. But then again, he's the bigger man.

If conor ever writes an autobiography, I hope it's called "the bigger man"

 

[Defeat Unknown]

Conor seems to be insanely enamoured by celebrities and money that it overthrows any sort of morals.

Fame and fortune aren't anything. Putin is an alpha image but he's a pretty disgusting human being.

 

[supra57]

Putin likes little boys hes no one to be admired google it and see

 

[Melas Chasma]

Putin is an alpha image but he's a pretty disgusting human being.

Do you know him? And I dont mean his public image portrayed by western propaganda.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Do you know him? And I dont mean his public image portrayed by western propaganda.

Wouldn't his actions be enough to make a judgment about his qualities as a human being?

Looks like this is getting picked up on by European media (though as usual for MMA, not exactly by the first tier kind):

Well of course you can't expect a professional athlete to know the past deeds of a corrupt politician in a foreign land.
A few MMA fighters went to Southern Russia as well and met Kadyrov, Putin's puppet.
