NEWS » m. It was a mistake - he mistimed

Less than two weeks after his historic victory at UFC 205, when he became the first fighter to hold titles in multiple weight classes simultaneously, talk of whats next for Conor McGregor has continued to dominate headlines.McGregor announced he will take some time off after a hectic 2016 for the birth of his first child, and he isnt expected back in the Octagon until at least May, per UFC president Dana White. At the same time, talks about a superfight in boxing with retired champion Floyd Mayweather just wont seem to go away.But what about a third option -- the idea of McGregor entering the scripted world of pro wrestling during his upcoming hiatus from mixed martial arts, which coincides conveniently with WWEs WrestleMania 33 card on April 2 in Orlando, Florida?According to his agent, Audie Attar, who appeared Tuesday on ESPNs 5ive Rounds podcast, its something McGregor is willing to entertain -- as long as the money is right.I think its all about business, man, Attar said. If [WWE] is going to come with an offer, we are willing to entertain it. We are here. Have their people call his people -- which is me. We can have a conversation.The topic of a McGregor crossover into sports entertainment picked up steam when executive and 14-time WWE world champion Paul Triple H Levesque was in attendance at UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Levesque gave an interview with a British newspaper in which he said McGregor would be a perfect fit for WWE.He could come over, hes got it all, man, Levesque told the Daily Telegraph. Hes got the personality, the skills, the talk. Hes an entertainer, for sure.Levesque went on to compare McGregor to Mayweather, who competed in a 2008 match at WrestleMania XXIV against The Big Show?during a brief retirement from boxing. Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey also made a?memorable appearance at WrestleMania 31 in 2015, nearly stealing the show when she teamed up with?The Rock?to exchange smack talk (and a hip-toss) opposite Triple H and his wife?Stephanie McMahon.Attar said McGregor has not had direct talks with WWE or Levesque as of yet, at UFC 205 or elsewhere.I think its phenomenal that a guy like Triple H was at the fights, Attar said. I heard he said some positive things, which is always good to hear.McGregor made headlines in August during a teleconference ahead of his UFC 202 rematch with Nate Diaz, when the Irish star called out WWE/UFC crossover star?Brock Lesnar?for being juiced up to his f---ing eyeballs and?referred to WWE superstars in general as massive p---ies.To many, the comments were seen as McGregor playing the smart businessman, planting seeds for a potential move to WWE. He went on to double down on his original comments by taking more shots on social media.Its ultimately like, look -- I think Conor had his say via social media at times, but he also is someone that appreciates people that sacrifice and train and are dedicated to their craft, whatever it may be, Attar said.Would McGregor be willing to go as far as having a formal match with the WWE, similar to what Mayweather did, if the two sides came to terms?Again, I think ultimately Conor will say, Let me talk to my friend Benjamin [Franklin] to see how many of his friends hes bringing with him before we talk about what the obligations are, Attar said.Buddy Hield Kings Jersey . Siddikur, whose previous win on the circuit came in Brunei three years ago, finished his bogey-free round with a birdie on the 18th for a total of 17-under 199.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Skal Labissiere Jersey . Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. Caleb Swanigan Jersey . DAmigo scored twice in regulation and added the shootout winner as the Toronto Marlies edged the San Antonio Rampage 5-4 in American Hockey League action.Arsene Wenger was left baffled by referee Michael Olivers decision not to show a second yellow card to Tottenhams Eric Dier as Arsenal drew 2-2 at White Hart Lane.Dier avoided a second booking when he pulled back Gunners substitute Olivier Giroud on the halfway line, three minutes after Alexis Sanchez had levelled it up at 2-2 for the visitors.Arsenal had earlier been reduced to 10 men when Francis Coquelin was shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Harry Kane in the 55th minute, with them 1-0 up at the time. I can complain that Eric Dier wasnt sent off, said Wenger. I didnt see a reason why he didnt send him off. I couldnt understand it. Arsene Wenger expresses his frustration on the touchline He [Oliver] looked ruthless with us and suddenly comprehensive with Tottenham. I think referees should come in the press conference after the game. We are questioned and they should be too. Maybe he could give you an answer. Wenger had no complaints about Coquelins sending off and he revealed he had warned the midfielder at the bbreak following his first yellow card in the 29th minute.ddddddddddddHe knows he made a big mistake, Wenger said. At half-time we warned him. It was a mistake - he mistimed his tackle and got sent off. He has to learn quickly from that because at the top level you need to be controlled. Referee Michael Oliver shows a red card to Francis Coquelin We have big regrets because it looked like we were completely in control. Then we went down to 10 men. Thats the regret of the day. Its difficult to take.As for Arsenals title hopes, Wenger was unable to assess the situation as the teams chasing Leicester City continue to drop points.I dont know what to say about that anymore, he said. Everybody drops points so lets see what happens over the weekend.Im happy and proud of our performance today. We refused to lose the game.Also See:Arsenal salvage drawWhite Hart Lane recapArsenal statsGet a ￡10 free bet! ' ' '
