I was talking to a few people about how this compares to Jon Jones, this is a hell of a lot worse. It might not be worse in terms of what level of felony or potential legal punishment, but it is significantly worse in two very important ways. First, there was no real malice in most of Jon Jones' ****ups, in all times for the most part he meant no harm but was making bad decisions that may have eventually put people in danger. We can forgive that.

Secondly, Jon Jones is easy to like even when he's a little bit of a jerk to some of his opponents, but Conor is quickly turning into an unlikable asshole, and its a really bad look to charge in with his own personal ****ing gang. This isn't like a "heel" which you can sell, a lot of people who otherwise may have been potential fans are simply not going to be interested in watching him fight anymore, and its bad enough to potentially do damage to the UFC brand.
