It’s ok, you can be pissed that a rapist is being platformed at all. Especially in mainstream media.

What I don't get is, rape aside, asshole is a retired injured MMA fighter... what is he even doing on television AT ALL?

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

He’s running for office in Ireland or plans to, is what I’ve heard.

Wow, so part of a "rehabilitation tour". Wonderful.

Has he "found" Christianity yet? That's the go-to move to try and avoid consequences

And what does that have to do with American late night TV.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

He’s rehabbing his image.

He's doing one more fight with another ~~retired~~ old fighter. Also, he got popular enough that he's trying to pivot to other things, kinda like Tyson.

Connor McGregor is definitely a fucking asshole and not relevant as a human being, let alone as a fighter. But Max Holloway is not retired, even if he is "old" in fight miles. He's in fact the current 4th ranked Lightweight in the UFC, and by all accounts a very decent human being (even if he does punch people for a living)

Apologies, I don't follow mma too closely. Can't wait to see Max sleep Connor.
