1. No ketamine involved - McGregor is a fellow lying rapist with Trump, and reckons he'll get the money off his mate

This is another disgraceful report that doesn't tell readers that McGregor, like Trump, lost a court case about him raping a woman.

Woman who won civil rape case against Conor McGregor to sue him

A woman who won a civil case against Conor McGregor is to sue him and two other people for damages alleging they engaged in malicious abuse of court processes.

In November, McGregor was ordered to pay £206,000 in damages plus costs to Nikita Hand, who accused him of raping her in a hotel in Dublin in 2018.
...
McGregor lost his appeal on Thursday against the finding that he sexually assaulted Ms Hand.
...
The senior judges said it was "somewhat mysterious" that what they described as an "important and contentious" part of the appeal had been "cast aside".

"Mysterious", indeed:

Gardaí have taken statements from key witnesses contradicting a Dublin couple’s claims that they were living across the street from Nikita Hand at the time she said she was raped by Conor McGregor.
Samantha O’Reilly and Steven Cummins, from Ballyfermot, were arrested early Thursday morning by the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (GNBCI) for alleged perjury relating to Ms Hand’s civil case against the former UFC ­champion.

They were released without charge on Friday and a file will be sent to the DPP.

Ms O’Reilly and ­Mr Cummins were to give new evidence at McGregor’s appeal hearing in July but they were dropped as witnesses at the last ­minute.

It really is crappy reporting to write an article about McGregor wanting cash to promote Trump, and not mention he is an infamous rapist. SBNation should be ashamed at their whitewashing of a rapist.
