Conor McGregor Reveals He’s Going To Fight Logan Paul And Fans Are Flabbergasted

December 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Conor McGregor is NOT going to take on an MMA fighter for his next match. Instead, he’s getting into the boxing ring and will face Logan Paul. The Irish featherweight and lightweight champion made the announcement on his Twitter (X) account early this morning, with Bleacher Report confirming it. He laid out his current plan of attack going forward, while also debunking some previous reports. “The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.” He continues, “I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”

For those who aren’t in the know, Ilia Topuria is who he was referring to. There had been numerous reports that the megastar was maybe going to go to head-to-head with the current UFC featherweight champion. However, Topuria didn’t seem too interested in taking on Conor, recently tweeting, “The rumors of bout with mchicken are false. I don’t fight nor am I interested in fighting with a rapist.” He made this jab following his sexual assault lawsuit stemming from a 2018 incident.

Fans Don’t Seem So Happy About Conor McGregor’s Next Move

The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.
I have agreed.
I will then seek my return to the Octagon.

— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) December 17, 2024

It seems the fight will take place next year, but there is not a concrete date yet. Overall, fans are quite stunned and a little upset, to say the least. “Please be trolling” one X user wrote in response to the reveal. “Went from double champ to Logan Paul. Officially off the train lol,” another adds. The shock levels might also be a little high because Jake Paul was talking mad trash to McGregor online before this.

Following his controversial win against Mike Tyson last month, he challenged the 36-year-old. “Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs. That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t.” Well, for what it’s worth, at least he’s fighting your brother?

Dee Devlin Ruthlessly Insults Conor McGregor’s Sexual Assault Accuser

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Conor McGregor was found liable of sexual assault on Friday. The MMA star lost the civil trail after he was accused of raping a woman named Nikita Hand in a hotel room. He’s been ordered to pay $250K in damages. McGregor has confirmed that he plans to appeal the result of the trial. Several brands have already terminated partnerships with the MMA fighter, however. McGregor’s fiancee, Dee Devlin, was livid over the result of the trial, and decided to target McGregor’s accuser as a result.

Devlin started off cordially via Instagram. She posted a photo of her and McGregor with their children and assured fans that they will remain vigilant together. “Me and my man created a beautiful life together [and] I love him.” Dee Devlin also claimed that she trusts and believes Conor McGregor’s side of things when it comes to Nikita Hand’s assault allegations. Fans of the MMA fighter flocked to the comments to praise Devlin for staying behind his side. It was Devlin’s Instagram Story, though, that turned up the heat with regards to her anger.

Dee Devlin Voiced Support For Fiance Conor McGregor

Dee Devlin went on a ruthless social media rant against Nikita Hand and the public shame Hand has caused her husband. She tore into Hand’s character, and her behavior in the days leading up to the alleged sexual assault. “Imagine a woman, with her own boyfriend and child,” Devlin wrote. “Sending texting provocative pictures of herself to another woman’s man with a family and child on the way.” Devlin called Hand out for repeatedly sending pictures to Conor McGregor. “What kind of woman are you?,” she asked.

It was Dee Devlin’s closing statement, though, that proved most withering. McGregor’s fiancee had already established a strong dislike for Hand, but she got particularly nasty by bring children into her tirade. Devlin claimed that Nikita Hand would serve as an example of how not to behave for her own kids moving forward. “My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world,” Devlin asserted. McGregor issued a statement of his own. He was more apologetic than critical, however. He thanked his fans, and singled Devlin and his children out for their continued support.

Conor McGregor Found Liable For 2018 Sexual Assault In Civil Trial

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Conor McGregor has lost his civil rape case in Ireland after a jury found him liable for assault. The case had been going on for much of the month. Nikita Ni Lamhain, a woman from Ireland, claimed McGregor and another man had sex with her against her will after a Christmas party in 2018. Ni Lamhain, who is also known as Nikita Hand, alleged the UFC star picked her and her friend up following the holiday get-together and took them to a nearby hotel. She claimed while there, McGregor forced himself on her on a bed in a penthouse suite. She also stated that later, another man, James Lawrence, sexually assaulted her too.

McGregor claimed their encounter was entirely consensual. However, this decision confirms that the court did not believe his recounting of events. They awarded Ni Lamhain with $250,000 in damages. Their report also stated that James Lawrence did not assault her. The media approached for McGregor for comment outside of the courthouse, but he did not make any statements there.

Conor McGregor took to X (formerly Twitter) to deliver a public condemnation of the verdict. He announced that he plans to appeal the court’s decision. “The judge’s instruction and the modest award given was for assault, not for aggravated or exemplary damages. I am disappointed that the jury did not hear all the evidence that the DPP reviewed. I am with my family now, focused on my future,” he said.

The embattled mixed martial arts star, who was once the biggest box office draw in the sport, has been in and out of legal troubles for much of the last ten years. He’s been in several driving incidents since 2017. At UFC 223, he attacked a bus used by rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, smashing a window and injuring other fighters inside in the process. The NYPD issued a warrant for his arrest, eventually charging him with three counts of assault, one count of criminal mischief, as well as menacing and reckless endangerment. That was brought down to one disorderly conduct charge. He served only five days of community service after a no contest plea. In 2023, he was accused of physically assaulting a woman on his yacht and sexually assaulting another after Game Four of the NBA Finals. And now, he is liable for this instance in 2018. As this is a new development, McGregor has not yet filed his appeal.

Jake Paul Calls Out Conor McGregor With MMA Fight Offer After Taking Down Mike Tyson

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jake Paul called out Conor McGregor on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday morning, after defeating the legendary boxer Mike Tyson on Friday night. In doing so, he offered to fight him in MMA with no weight class. “Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs,” he wrote. “That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t.”

The post has been causing a stir on social media. In response, one fan joked: “You’re gonna pull out when you realize Conor is under 45 years old.” Another wrote: “Connor McGregor is done with fighting unfortunately. He took the money and he ran. Why don’t you fight an ACTIVE boxer around your age and height/weight? Oh, you did. It was Tommy Fury and he beat you.”

Paul also trolled McGregor shortly after the fight while speaking with reporters for a post-fight news conference. As caught by MMA Junkie, Paul said: “It’s funny to say, ‘Conor McGregor is scared of Jake Paul and will never box him,’ but it’s the f*cking truth. And look at him go toe to toe with Nate Diaz, who was easy work for me. It was like a Monday sparring session to beat Nate Diaz’s ass. He doesn’t ever want this smoke with me. It won’t ever happen.”

As for his fight with Tyson, Paul won by unanimous decision after a one-sided match. Tyson, who is 58 years old, held up for all eight rounds against the 27-year-old social media star, but failed to land nearly as many punches as Paul. Check out Jake Paul’s message for Conor McGregor below.

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Xzibit and Conor McGregor are joining forces. Who had that on their Bingo card? We can assure we didn’t, but here we are folks! According to a recent press release (and HipHopDX), the Detroit, Michigan MC, perhaps best known for his work with the likes of Dr. Dre, Eminem, among others, is inking a deal with the UFC legend and his upstart label, Greenback Records. The Dublin, Ireland native launched this business venture just a few months ago, mid-July to be exact. However, in just that short time frame, he’s already got one of the biggest groups in hip-hop signed to him in Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.

Greenback and its founder welcomed Xzibit with open arms on their social media accounts not too long ago. “In the kingdom of hip-hop, only the real ones reign supreme. A legend joins the Greenback dynasty ready to make history,” the entertainment company writes on IG. “We proudly welcome @xzibit to Greenback Records – the new chapter starts here. #KINGMAKER .” You are probably wondering what “#KINGMAKER” means. Well, they are here to explain that too.

Congratulations to both Xzibit and McGregor for this partnership, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds.

Jake Paul Beats Mike Perry In Six Rounds And Goes Back And Forth With Conor McGregor Right After

July 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jake Paul and Conor McGregor don’t often get along, and the latter was right there to take a dump on the former’s victory on Saturday night (July 20). Moreover, Paul defeated Mike Perry in a sixth-round TKO, and he didn’t take long before he called out the UFC’s current middleweight champion, Alex Pereira. This makes the social media personality’s record a 10-1 streak against some MMA stars, and ahead of his postponed fight with Mike Tyson, he must be feeling on top of the world. But again, McGregor was there to bring some medicine to the sugar, and we can only guess as to what a back-and-forth would look like.

“Jake Paul is the biggest pissbag I have ever seen in my life,” Conor McGregor tweeted in the wee hours of Saturday night after Paul’s victory. “40 pound weight difference, juiced out of his head, and still s***ting himself in there. Nakisa you should take him to Vegas oh that’s right you could never, the athletic commission testing, real testing, real fighting. B***h a**es. You could never. And then calling out 60 year old Mike Tyson fresh off an in flight medical emergency? I swear to god, a fat can of b***h piss. Most valuable pissbag.”

“That’s f***ed up that he fired your BKFC champion,” Jake Paul responded to Conor McGregor’s firing of Mike Perry and McGregor’s tweets and attacks during the post-fight press conference. “But, I told you that was going to happen. You know, I told you exactly what was going to happen. He was big-upping his boy, Mike Perry. I said, ‘Okay, Conor. Like, after I f**k up Mike Perry, then you’re next.’

Paul Responds To McGregor

“So Conor’s on Twitter all the time, he’s on his yacht all the time,” Jake Paul continued. “But guess where he’s not? In the ring fighting me. So he can talk all the f**k he wants. But ‘The Notorious MMA’ is scared of Jake Joseph Paul from Disney Channel. And I put that on my mama.” We’ll see what other combative statements he has for his opps, and whether or not any of these relevant parties will duke it out again or for the first time.

Conor McGregor Takes Shots At Jake Paul, Calls Him A “Dweeb”

July 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Conor McGregor did not leave how he feels about Jake Paul up to interpretation. Ahead of Paul’s next boxing bout against mixed martial artist and bare knuckle boxer Mike Perry, McGregor put his stake in the ground. At a press conference in Spain, McGregor called Paul a “dweeb” of a thing, praising Perry for his career with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

“Look at what has happened to Michael Perry, one of our big stars here,” McGregor said. “He’s had such a rise in the sport. Now he’s up against a little dweeb of a thing in a fight this weekend. And we’re all rooting for him.” Perry has grown into a star for BKFC, winning the “King of Violence” Championship against former UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez. It’s a symbolic, bragging rights title in the same way that the BMF Championship is for the UFC.

Conor McGregor Calls Jake Paul A “Dweeb”

Conor McGregor was supposed to return to MMA at UFC 303 in a fight against Michael Chandler, who he coached against in the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. However, McGregor pulled out of the fight because of an injury. The UFC has yet to announce a new date. McGregor’s last fight ended quickly, when he broke his ankle in the first round of a clash with Donald Cerrone. McGregor’s trash talk is famous, and “dweeb” is remarkably low on the list of insults he’s hurled towards his peers.

Mike Perry replaced Mike Tyson, Jake Paul’s original opponent, for this weekend. Tyson pulled out of the fight out of suffering an injury in training. Paul and Tyson rescheduled the fight for November, which will be the first live sporting event to air on Netflix. Fans have been critical of Paul’s boxing career, calling out the fact that many of his opponents are non-boxers. Paul’s only loss in professional boxing was against Tommy Fury, the younger brother of Tyson Fury. Even in his late 50s, the legendary Iron Mike would have been a challenging opponent. Fans will have to wait a few months for that fight to take place. For now, Perry will aim to give Paul his second loss on Saturday night.

Conor McGregor Refutes Chael Sonnen’s Salacious Rehab Claims

June 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, it was revealed that Conor McGregor would no longer be fighting at UFC 303 on June 29th. Overall, McGregor was set to face off against Michael Chandler. However, it was revealed by Dana White that McGregor was suffering from an injury. This report came weeks after McGregor had been spotted doing nothing but partying. There wasn’t a single clip of McGregor training or taking the fight seriously. For many fans, this news was an inevitability.

Following this news, Chael Sonnen was on his ESPN show Good Guy/Bad Guy where he was talking to Daniel Cormier about the McGregor news. That is when he made the claim that McGregor wasn’t actually injured. Instead, he was actually going through a bout of rehab. Ultimately, this news was salacious and many in the MMA world ran with it. However, according to a new report from TMZ, everything Sonnen said is allegedly false.

Chael Sonnen Talks Conor McGregor

McGregor’s rep stated that he is not currently receiving treatment for any kind of addiction. Instead, he suffered an injury while training for the fight. Moreover, the representative explained that McGregor is looking to fight Chandler sometime in the near future. For now, it is unknown when this rescheduled fight will take place. What we do know, is that fans have pretty well resigned themselves to the fact that we may never see McGregor in the Octagon again.

Let us know how you feel about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Conor McGregor really has an injury? Do you think we are ever going to see the UFC star get back into the Octagon? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Conor McGregor Removed From UFC 303 After Weeks Of Speculation

June 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The last time we saw Conor McGregor in the Octagon, he broke his leg in a pretty gruesome fashion while going up against Dustin Poirier. Overall, it was a signal that McGregor is not the fighter he once was. It was the nail in the coffin for his rain of terror, and while fans expected him to come back, they knew it would be in a limited capacity. McGregor was set to return to the fighting world on June 29th during UFC 303, as he would take on Michael Chandler.

Understandably, fans were hyped. However, that excitement turned into skepticism as it became clear that McGregor wasn’t training. Instead, he appeared to be partying every weekend, while engaging in activities that aren’t conducive to winning a fight. Yesterday, White confirmed everyone’s suspicions by revealing that McGregor was out with an injury. Consequently, Chandler will no longer be on the card either.

However, UFC fans do not have to worry about this too much. Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka will now be the main event. As for McGregor, it is now up in the air as to whether or not he will ever fight in the UFC again. He has shown very little interest in the Octagon, and this latest undisclosed injury appears to be further proof of that.

Let us know what you think of this news, in the comments section down below. Did you see this coming given what McGregor has been getting up to as of late? Do you believe that UFC 303 is going to be worth watching now that McGregor is out? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Conor McGregor Teases UFC 303 Fight With Michael Chandler May Still Be On

June 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It appears that Michael Chandler vs. Conor McGregor is still very much on. The Notorious just unveiled a highlight reel from his intense training sessions, confirming that the highly anticipated UFC 303 match will take place on time. Naturally, there had been some concern that the major event scheduled for June 29 would be postponed after a press conference that was scheduled for Monday in Ireland was abruptly canceled with little to no notice. UFC fans will be over the moon as the upcoming event will look lackluster without Conor’s big fight.

Following the unexpected cancellation, McGregor released a statement in which he apologized for the incident. However, the brief nature of his apology made many wonder if his comeback attempt had been shelved. However, it seems that McGregor put all of those doubts to rest late on Thursday night when he uploaded several videos of himself in the Octagon, appearing to be fully prepared for a fight. The videos show McGregor playing around with his sparring partners before delivering some really strong hits. He included some praying hands and the GOAT emoji in the caption for everything.

The 35-year-old Irishman last competed in the UFC in July 2021, but that was before he horrifyingly fractured his leg against Dustin Poirier. He had officially consented to fight Chandler again in the spring. Since taking the UFC two-weight title in 2016, Conor has only engaged in four fights, winning only one. While Chandler, 38, has 23 victories in 31 fights, McGregor has 22 victories in 28 fights. McGregor also uploaded a photo of himself on Thursday, this time grinning in what looks to be a doctor’s office. Chandler appears to still be getting ready for the fight based on his posts from his Florida training camp.

UFC fans will be hyped if the fight is still on. The card for the UFC event started looking pretty light with the subtraction of Conor McGregor’s significant return. McGregor has recently been seen partying in Dublin, Ireland, celebrating at his own nightlife establishment. He also recently starred in the Road House remake with Jake Gyllenhaal. Overall, there’s a big chance the fight still goes down.
