Like seriously all of my friends are raving about him, reposting vids of him on Facebook. All of which I've watched, and he just seems like a massive prat.

Sorry who is he?

SheSaidHeSaid · 19/07/2017 18:07

He's a bit of a nob but a hilarious one.

DP is a massive UFC fan so I've seen quite a bit of CM's publicity stuff. He's just so arrogant and full of himself. I can't stand him!

TartanTartan · 19/07/2017 18:08

Chael Sonnen is a much funnier nob IMO. At least he doesn't take himself as seriously.

I've just watched a vid of maywweather saying that when he was saying he's the best , bragging about his cars, wearing He fur coat and gold chains he was called arrogant, rude and ungrateful.

Now mcgreogor is doing just that, he's classed as 'funny'.

He said that for a white man it's ok to do, and a black man it's not. I personally think he's got a point.
All my friends think he's hilarious Hmm

He was one of the Mountains in Game of Thrones wasn't he? Thought he looked the part more than the current incumbent.

YANBU
I too think he's a nob and I'm fed up of this fight already

LadyDeadpool · 19/07/2017 18:48

He was never in GoT.

Goodnamesalltaken · 19/07/2017 18:53

My husband agrees yanbu. He really is a Dick!

QueenoftheAndals · 19/07/2017 19:00

Actually you're right LadyDeadpool, I confused him with Conan Stevens!

ElspethFlashman · 19/07/2017 19:05

Though there's rumours he has a cameo this season. Don't know if it's true though.

He had a behind the scenes documentary series on Irish TV last year. When he's not being a knob professionally, he's actually quite nice. He's insanely hard working, he never stops with his training.

But this character he plays is definitely a knob.

But he knows full well it's a knobby attitude that sells shitloads of tickets. Hes very ambitious and is trying to be so invaluable to his sport that he gets a piece of the pie. Basically he wants to be able to be a management shareholder long before he retires.

seething1234 · 19/07/2017 19:08

I can't listen to any of that pre-fight rubbish. I don't think he's a knob. He's doing what he has to do to promote the fight. It's like pantomime. I really admire what he has achieved.

KrayKray00 · 19/07/2017 19:20

Oh yes he is a total, full on, grade A knob.

but I cannot help watching him

Half of me wants him to beat Mayweather also a knob and the other half wants to see him get K.O'ed!!

I have a love hate relationship with the knob.

But that one liner about Mayweather having a backpack "you can't even fucking read!" Had me in tears!

KrayKray00 · 19/07/2017 19:22

Sorry, I agree, it is all an act! He is a very hard and determined professional MMA fighter and he is good at what he does, it is just his smug attitude that makes me squirm!

dinosaurkisses · 19/07/2017 19:24

DH thinks he's the absolute tits- that's he's a salt of the earth Dublin boy done good, a PR genius.

I think he's a twat- a classic case in point where if he was behaving the same way outside a Post Office wearing a tracksuit and runners he'd just be another chav, but because he has money and can pick out a nice waistcoat he's now an absolute legend.

One of my mates lives in a house share around the corner from the hospital where his girlfriend recently gave birth to their son. One of her young, female and very attractive housemates bopped down to the garage to get some biscuits one evening and was called over to a tricked out Range Rover- lol and behold, CM is hanging out the window and brazenly tries to pick her up. In a garage forecourt. After visiting his partner who had just given birth to his son. And was most put out when she politely declined.

Amanduh · 19/07/2017 19:24

Yanbu. What a twat. Not a Mayweather fan but I honestly hope he gets a complete KO!

LidlMissSunshine · 19/07/2017 19:27

He's a platinum starred bellend.

But also wtf was that tiger jumper Mayweather was wearing at that slagging match dresses up as a press conference?

He looked like a drag queen's nightmare.

Cunts all.

BitchQueen90 · 19/07/2017 19:27

He's a twat, as is Mayweather. Can't stand either of them!

SaucyJack · 19/07/2017 19:34

He's a pollock, but Floyd Mayweather is 4 or 5 times convicted wife beater, so let's not get confused about who deserves to have their face smashed in here.

SaucyJack · 19/07/2017 19:34

*pillock! He's not a fish pie ingredient ffs.

lamado · 19/07/2017 19:49

This picture alone proves YNBU

...to think Conor mcgregor is a knob
Mawalls · 19/07/2017 19:51

lol, he is tiny! If he was to be in GoT it would need to be as a molehill

TizzyDongue · 19/07/2017 19:58

I think he trained with 'The Mountain' from Game of Thrones.

He's a irritating twerp alright.
