Hmm. I, uh, hmm. I guess you could say I’m not entirely sure what to do here. I’m probably the most ride or die Conor McGregor supporter you could find, yeah? We’re all in agreement that while I’m preposterously untalented in most of what life has to offer, I’m a great nuthugger for the Notorious One. Go to war for him and all of that. You know the deal by now. But I guess this means…I’m a Putin guy too now? Is that what has to happen? Does Robbie “The Cuck” Fox have to just be like, “Hey, I mean, we’re both on Team McGregor now, so we gotta get along.”? Maybe it could be like the Avengers and he’s Winter Solder and I’m Iron Man, where like, ultimately we’re working together but we don’t really like it? Because from what I’ve heard about this Putin fella, he ain’t the best.

Anyway, enough about me, nobody cares about the personal crossroads I’m at, let’s talk about this. Conor McGregor was Vladimir Putin’s personal guest at the World Cup Final in Russia today. Kinda crazy. UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, most of his team, and his manager have all said that Conor, under no circumstances, would ever go to Russia. They said he was petrified of Russia and that he wouldn’t make it out of Russia if he ever went in. Annnnnnnd then McGregor the President of motherfucking Russia said, “That’s cute!” and he strolled right in, not a care in the world, looking like a billion bucks.

Does that look like a guy “petrified” to be in Russia?

Yeah, didn’t think so. I don’t think Conor McGregor has been “petrified” in his entire life. While he was sitting next to ol’ Vlad eating some pasta, Khabib was up in the cheap seats like the schmuck he is*.

Very cute that he got his jersey signed though!!!

So yeah, Conor vs Khabib is happening this year, and it’s going to provide some of the best, most genuine pre-fight shenanigans in the history of our sport. People may legitimately die. We’re talking the Irish Mob vs the Russian Mafia, here, but also maybe not because Khabib is from Dagestan where I believe they’re not the biggest fans on Putin? I don’t really know, though. Gotta do some geography and political research there. I’ll ask PFT, he probably knows.

What a world, ladies and gents. What a world.

*I am very nervous about publishing this sentence but have faith that if Khabib comes after me Conor will swoop in like Batman.
