Man I understand 1 or 2 ads. You have like 20 ads in there. Annoying as hell
Hi Sajjad, unfortunately with just 1 or 2 ads we should close this website, we hope to reduce the number of ads in future
The first was 7 years ago,
Mcgregor got handled in the second fight.
Mcgregor got handled in the third fight.
Why do we need a 4th?
So Mcgregor can get handled again?
