Why didn’t the fighters sue Conor

[StreetJudas]

After the bus incident. I heard once they still decided to still fight on the card they couldn’t sue and ufc knew that and pressured them to. Is that true?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

UFC/Dana probably “strongly discouraged” it, or McGregor Inc. paid some proactive settlement money which seems to be his MO.

EDIT: Keep in mind this whole thing was a staged angle. UFC employees are on video briefing Conor and the crew and leading them to the bus (where camera crews just happened to be perfectly set up).

they should've sued that MF'er for taking everything they worked for.

The only thing in our society more common than litigation is being bought off.

I have no cultural solutions... Sorry Bros... We are not going to fight everything out, talk everything out, or litigate everything... It's a dirty old world.

"Hi Dana, I'm suing Conor."
"Great, by the way, we're going to offer you shit fights and make your life a living hell so you don't earn any money. Oh and enjoy the time and money you're going to spend on everything."

Mike Chiesa talked a big game and he had a point. If he hadn't been cut by glass, he logically would have fought Khabib for the vacant title, since he was higher ranked than Ragin Al. Fighter Kevin Lee probably "talked" to his mom and convinced him to drop the whole thing.

Dana definitely didn't want none of them to and probably wrote checks for all those seeking compensation.

 

[azerty]

didn't ray borg sued mcgregor?

 

[MemphisMafia]

I remember Chiesa sued him over this incident. Never heard an outcome or settlement.

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

Say they all got "hush hush" money, like that clown in Miami who got his phone smashed by Conor

 

[skylolow]

Borg and Chiesa are really the only ones that had a case against Conor.

 

[Siver!]

Publicly suing people is wimpy as hell.

It's a really strange cultural thing in the US.

Does it happen elsewhere?

Anyway, I'm kinda glad they didn't, but that's on the basis they received some damages anyway.

These things should always happen behind closed doors, and if there's no permanent damage done you simply don't need to sue people for millions.

Do you have a link to this by chance? Sounds made up.

Conor could buy and sell ten times over

 

[GrantB13]

I think a couple were going to. Don't know anything else about it.

I saw the video, UFC’s VP of communications is showing Conor and gang to the elevator and talking/laughing with them. Can’t find it now, UFC probably scrubbed it. Khabib also said the bus was in motion but suddenly stopped right before the attack started.

Makes sense, this explains why Conor was arrested, right?

Chiesa literally lost money because of what Conor did after he was cut by the incident and no longer medically allowed to fight his opponent.

Losing money sounds like a pretty good reason to be looking for money.
