The Return Of Conor Mcgegor

The last time we saw "The Pride Of Ireland" Conor Mcgregor in action was when he faced Floyd Mayweather Jr in a Boxing bout last year in August. But the last time we have actually saw him in the octagon in competition was when he defeated Eddie Alvarez via TKO at UFC 205 to become the Lightweight Champion and another UFC 2-division champion as he was also the Featherweight Champion.

Many speculate whom his next opponent in the octagon will be as videos have surfaced of him training and he has been very active on his Instagram posting photos after training sessions. Though his recent legal troubles have held up his return, there is still no doubt everyone is anticipating his return.

It has been said from Conor and a few other sources that he was suppose to fight at UFC 224, but because of the bus incident with Khabib Nurmagomedov it was called off. During the Media Day for UFC 223 Conor Mcgregor and a few accomplices attacked the bus that Khabib the now UFC Lightweight Champion was on with a hand truck and a even tried with a guard rail. They wanted Nurmagomedov to get off the bus and attacked as it pulled off. Conor really lost his temper that day as many accused him of being drug enraged. But really it is just anger and hate between rivals. Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg were injured during the incident which got their fights scrapped from the event.

Conor and Khabib have disliked each other for a few years now as a grudge match of the decade has been brewing. What sparked the incident at Media Day was at the Hotel where Khabib and the rest of the fighters were staying. Khabib ran into Artem Lobov who is very close to Mcgregor and a friend, then essentially surrounded him with his camp and Khabib putting his hand around the back of Artem's neck aggressively pulling his close while talking. Due to his part in the incident Artem Lobov was also pulled from his bout on the card for UFC 223.

When the footage and word got out that is when Conor and his entourage jumped onto their Jet from Ireland to New York for Media Day. This is more than 2 fighters who dislike each other. they are very well 2 of the best pound for pound fighters in the world who have a hate for each other like no other. Everyone remembers their backstage altercation at UFC 205 in which security had to get involved.

Since defeating Al Laquinta at UFC 223 for the Lightweight Championship, Now 26-0 Khabib wants a fight with Conor and Conor wants a fight with Khabib. At this point it is passed the belt, it has the potential to be the biggest grudge match between rivals since Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier 2.

Dana White has even stated when the fight does happen which it will, it will have to go down in Las Vegas. Though there may not be an arena in Vegas that can hold the crowd that would attend this event but it would break a PPV record for UFC almost instantly when the poster will hopefully be revealed some time this year. There is no other fight to be made between Conor and Khabib other than this, and the trust me the world cannot wait.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
