Okay honestly, with all due respect to Leslie Smith who I also enjoy and am proud of her efforts to get a union going... how many comments can you REALLY make about Leslie Smith?

You really can't compare her to talking about THE BIGGEST name in the sport.
He hasn't been in the sport of mma since 2016. Leslie Smith has been working for fighter's rights and even has a scheduled fight 11 days from now. That's my point.

Honestly, which one is getting more press over the last week: Conor or Leslie Smith? If you were to go on any MMA forum right now, which name do you think is getting mentioned more?

The Conor debacle/Khabib win is the biggest story in MMA right now, one of the biggest in sports period. Of course there's going to be talk of Conor McGregor.

Ronda Rousey got nearly the same amount of press this week. She also afaik still has a contract with the UFC if she was to return to mma. Does that mean she needs to be discussed in every thread?

Good or bad, he was in a lot of the main press headlines 2 days running. Leslie's not a household name, Conor is. For the wrong reasons, but he is.

She's effectively retired and starting a new career as a pro wrestler. Why would she be discussed in every thread?

But either way, if people deem someone a troll, or don't think their posting content has any merit, they can just put that user on ignore. I don't know why someone would bother whining about it, tbh

Why would Conor be discussed in every thread he's effectively retired for the time being, has zero fights scheduled, and the closest thing we've heard about him fighting again is against a boxer not an mma fighter.

Good call though. Setting you to ignore since you don't add to the conversation you just repeat your bias on every thread.

This shows you dont' get it, you are saying you can be a troll and we should put you on ignore.

Ignore function is dumb, the better option is dont be a troll. It's a small forum, we don't want your trolling to eat up the board. A better option would be to be able to click something to avoid people you dont like commenting on your threads.

I haven't been discussing Conor in every thread. I discuss him in threads where he's relevant.

Show me a thread where I just randomly brought up Conor when he had nothing to do with the OP.

That's the beauty of this forum though, you can just ignore everyone who doesn't agree with you!

The press Rhonda got for Wrestlemania is nowhere near the press Conor got for bus-gate.

LOL these twin avatars shitting up the joint

beyond ridiculous...do you realize how this and other threads read?

like shit, is the correct answer

Guy shits on MMA and people want his mug shot as an avatar. If you care for MMA you would not glorify the actions of CM...not even for the sake of trolling or whatever the hell you think you fellas are doing.

I just don't get your anger. I don't get angry when I read @conor mcgregor nut hugger super liberal views in the OT. He supported Hillary, which is one of the worst opinions someone could have, but what you have to realise is a conversation can involve people with vastly different opinions.

At the end of the day, yes it was the wrong thing for Conor to do because he injured two people who had nothing to do with it, and that I will never defend. But Khabib and his camp aren't blameless in this. Khabib confronted Artem when it was 30 vs 1, slapped him, and (allegedly) told him he could have him taken care of. That's a punk move. Do I feel Khabib should have gotten off the bus and faced the music? Absolutely. And if he did, none of this would have happened.

Shits all over MMA? Who has generated more revenue and interest for MMA than Conor? And do you realise how big a Conor/Khabib fight will be because of this?

Its not anger, that is not where I am coming from.

I just think the silly trolling hurts forum population and prevents some lurkers from signing up

IMO your above post does contain trolling, and two completely delusional statements(not interested in debating these if you really believe them)

I honestly am trying to help out Wild @Wild and @Splinty, nothing more and nothing less.
