UFC welterweight veteran Matt Brown absolutely baffled by Conor McGregor’s spate of assault allegations in recent years. Brown discussed the latest sexual assault allegations against McGregor on a recent episode of The Fighter vs The Writer, openly wondering why McGregor keeps finding himself in situations where allegations can arise.
McGregor’s team has denied the charges, calling the accuser’s request for a settlement rather than litigation a “shakedown”.
Matt Brown on Conor McGregor Assault Allegations: “Why are you even in this situation?”
“My big question, is Conor putting himself in these positions where people have the opportunity to make these types of allegations? In my opinion, not that I’m one to tell anyone how to live their life, but I would lay low if I was him.
If someone is making these allegations, that means at minimum, there are people around that had the opportunity to make these allegations. At least in the same room that he was speaking to, or hanging out with, or something. It has to be a minimum at that.
If he’s not in the vicinity of these women, they can’t make these allegations. But if they’re even in the vicinity, then that potential [exists], especially if he’s partying or doing whatever he’s doing, being a wild man or whatever.
Now, you have the potential for these allegations.” Brown was careful to state that he did not want to advise McGregor, but questioned those around the former two-division champion.
“I have no idea if he did it or not, no one here is making allegations or accusing anyone of anything, but the fact that you’re even in that situation where they have the potential to [make those claims], someone’s not advising you the right way. Someone’s not having your back. Someone is not telling you the right things that you need to be doing.
If I were advising him, which I’m not and never would — I’d advise him to fight me if I advise him of anything — but if I was, I would say keep the f*** out of those situations.
What are you doing around other women anyway? Why do they even have the chance to say this s***? We can’t say this enough. Why are you even in this situation where it’s a possibility?” Brown also questioned whether Conor McGregor will ever really return to the Octagon.
“Even if he does somehow fight again, which again I’m not confident in, I’m like 80-20 he’s never fighting again, but even if he does, we have a decent idea of the lifestyle he’s living.
He’s not going to get in there and get grimy again. He’s not going to do that underground, hardcore training where he’s getting f****** pounded everyday, and he’s working his way out of bad positions. I just don’t see that.
We could be wrong. We have no f****** clue truthfully, but I don’t see it. All we can go by is what we see in the news and the media, and I don’t think anyone would disagree. We don’t see it at all.”
