so it's a question of the legal threshold. It's very low in civil cases, and Conor's lawyers will have a hard time making a case that it was unlikely. It's not guaranteed that Chiesa would have gotten the fight, I don't think it's "likely"...but there aren't going to be any MMA fans on the jury.
If I had gone to London last summer like I wanted to, I would've totally met Emma Watson and banged her.
You can't even convince yourself that this scenario is "likely".
Chiesa is probably trying to get the most out of the lawsuit, missed title shot (means missed opportunity to earn more pay) is probably the angle he's playing to make the pay even larger
it's hard to judge because maybe she had PTSD before, and if that was the case, this incident more than likely brought it back out.
if Conor didn't throw that dolly at the bus, none of this would have happened. Sure, he was trying to go after Khabib, but he reallly didn't have to throw that dolly at the bus where other people were in it too
short faced bear
@MMAHAWK and
@Carbazel provide real content and an educated perspective, I really appreciate that...Great Pod Guys
I think its because of her nick name Thug that people question her on this.
I'm not at all condoning what Conor did, but the fact is that he apologized and he said regrets his actions.
Instead of dropping in to be passive aggressive and infer that those having a discussion in here aren't Educated Mature MMA fans perhaps go into read only mode instead of judging them from your high horse. I could bump almost any Jon Jones thread and find posts of yours that are all up in his business critiquing his integrity and calling him classless. Petty sure I'd find some armchair bro science and psychology if I looked enough too.I am staying out of the quoting and bickering over this ridiculous thread/concept(did quote once but kept it cordial)
I just listened to two episodes of Coast to Coast Combat Hour and I realized that is what I come to MMA forums looking for...Educated Mature MMA discussion free from drama
real MMA fans like
This thread could learn a lot from them and their maturity
Armchair psychologists and devils advocates fill this thread and it is apparently not OK to just stay out of a Fighters Business. It is however celebrated to judge them and critic their Integrity, even if said fighter has been nothing but class in the past.
Thread Reeks IMO
I think Jon has earned some criticism and I don't think Rose has...many examples of questionable decision making and harmful actions on JJ's resume...I can't think of any in Rose's past
Justice for the bear!
I agree with you that it's like ADHD/Autism/et al in that there's a lot of people milking the system, doctors and patients.
@BirdWatcher
@BirdWatcher if you really feel I should only read threads, then revoke my privileges if you feel that is fair and just.I'm the one that made that point. Learn to read.
It's behavior we slowly start to accept, and mimic. We get to ignore real problems but still get to do the yelling and tantrums. We get to be victims, without the concequences, but with all the attention. Win-win my friend.
Uh...that seems mean spirited at best...is this up to community standards?
so....I'm agreeing with @blank when he agrees with you.
I'm a physician quoting the DSM on the literal defintional criteria of ptsd while suggesting reasons to believe a public statement by a fighter. Not to toot my own horn, but I'd hope that would be a welcome addition to a forum input.
