Conor McGregor knows every fighter puts their life on the line every time they step into the cage with an opponent, but no one truly expects not to walk out again.
McGregor sat just a few feet away from a tragic fight in his native Ireland in April when his teammate Charlie Ward defeated Joao Carvalho with a vicious third-round TKO. Carvalho was rushed to the hospital after the fight and died from his injuries two days later.
Immediately after the fight, McGregor posted a long message on Facebook addressing the tragedy, while paying tribute to Carvalho.
Several months later, McGregor is still haunted by what happened that night, cheering on and coaching his teammate to a victory that ultimately led to the death of his opponent.
"How do I feel?" McGregor reportedly told Men’s Health U.K. "How would you feel?"
"It’s [expletive] up," McGregor told Men’s Health about the fighter’s death. ‘I wasn’t just watching that fight. I helped train a guy to kill someone, and then someone wound up dying.
This is a (expletive) dangerous game. People call it a sport, but it's fighting. I'm just making sure it ain't me. And that's (expletive) up.

"I still can’t believe that kid is dead."

Now my question here is; how can someone so deeply affected by death, want to take Khabib's life over a slap. He was 100% dead serious when he said Khabib would be dead if he got off the bus.
Has Conor become a coldblooded piece of coked up shit, or is he still acting?
Food for your thoughts, kids.
