No idea who that is and judging from the photo, time has moved on significantly since then.

Think it’s that journalist/author that got killed by one of the Irish “cartels” as people are now calling them in the 90s. Might not be though! Veronica something, shot whilst waiting in traffic.

I understand the point he's making but comparing a Journalist/Author to McGregor is ridiculous. He's a global star.

She was the Country's highest profile investigative Journalist Veronica Guerin who was murdered by masked cowards 21 years ago in broad daylight in a case that caused questions to be asked of the Taoiseach and put Dublin's local crime lords under the scrutiny of the world's press but don't let your ignorance get in the way of whatever point it was that you were attempting to make.

I understand what you are saying but I just cannot see it happening with McGregor.

 

What happenned to that lady was terrible and I am not trying to dillute that fact but she is in no way comparable to McGregor who is a global star who makes people a lot of money.

 

Also my 'Ignorance' isn't really ignorance is it? I have never heard of her. I was unaware, not ignorant of her murder.

Wasn't there a film made of this whole story ? I'm sure I've seen it sometime way back.

I fell asleep just as the main event started, so I haven’t seen that particular result yet.

 

What a night of fights, specifically the Alvarez knee to the face ko and the Madeiros - Oliveira tear up, which was sensational. Not to mention Ngannou’s savage left hook/uppercut that almost removed poor Overeem’s head from his shoulders. Fuck me, what power. I don’t think there’s anyone out there who can take that punch.

Alvarez was very good last night, his legs are going to be peppered with kicks in every fight so that'll take it's toll.

 

That Ngannou finish was something else, fucking brutal. Overreem has been KO'd a hell of a lot, it'll be interesting to see if Miocic can handle Ngannous power but I am not sure anyone can, it's a case of catching him before he catches you.

 

Don't see anyone beating Holloway out of the current batch of featherweights.

No way Miocic can handle Ngannou!

I haven't seen a lot of Ngannou but with his size he'll get tired quite quickly so if he can be stifled for a few rounds he might get completely fucked, especially on a 5 rounder. If he lands at any point though it's lights out no matter if you are man or bear.
