Conor McGregor is reportedly under investigation in Ireland -- again -- after allegedly punching a man Saturday in a pub in Dublin.

The UFC superstar was at the Marble Arch pub in Drimnagh (a suburb of Dublin) when he was approached by another patron who thought Conor was acting like a jerk, according to the Irish Mirror.

The patron reportedly talked trash to Conor about his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov saying, "The Russian battered you" ... and that's when Conor snapped and punched.

We called Ireland's Garda Síochána -- the country's police force -- who wouldn't identify Conor by name but did confirm an investigation of an alleged April 6 incident at the Marble Arch.

"No arrests, matter under investigation."

"Microchip man medically cleared"

Did he admit he was high and there's no chip in his leg after all ?
Or did some UFC doc run a magnet over his leg and say, "Ok it's gone buddy, get back out there !"

The medical clearances have always been similar to General practice doctors who tell you everything is fine because you are breathing. Bloodborne disease or recently suffering a massive concussion are the only reasons to not get cleared. Everything else is a go for the sake of the UFC machine.

See Big Nog for examples. Its illegal to fight blind, but he was cleared over and over again with no vision in 1 eye and severely damaged vision in his other eye.

Lee lied about being ok on pre fight questionnaire
and supposedly he did something during weigh ins to make it less noticeable
UFC told DC not to talk about it during the fight

gastelum had untreated staph infection on face and body at the start of fight week with Whittaker
he said UFC gave him meds and cream to treat it
what i read while staph can last 2-3 weeks, it isn't contagious after 24-48 hours after starting treatment

Outspoken egomaniac turns out to be hypocritical cheater? I'm shocked.

apparently USADA doesn't test every sample for EPO

No shit. There's tons and tons of stuff they don't test for outside of competition.

EPO is a helluva drug.

What's funny is that i sort of feel bad for Garbrandt now - despite him being a faggot as well. But when he rocked Dillashaw in that first fight, with the near knockout in round 1 (?), that probably would have been fight-over if not for TJ being juiced up.

They're still both faggots, so whatever.

oh damn at first it was jan now it's dec

tj is a long time cheat, don't they have like years of samples to back test?

They could but it's a colossal waste of money. Two year suspension is the most they can hand out.

Cody won't get his belt back. UFC won't get his salary back.

Meaning he is more fit and strong, therefore the end result being the same or similar? Semantics for those of us who couldn't give a fuck less.

Sorry if i'm being dense amd not giving a shit about the intricacies.

EPO increases your oxygen update by boosting your red blood cell production. TJ could maintain a higher work and recover faster, causing his opponents to gas first and allowing him to capitalize on their degraded form. In an MMA context it could easily contribute to late-round knockouts.
