  导出博客文章NEW YORK -- It likely went down as the line of the night on Saturday at the UFCs
  historic debut at Madison Square Garden. But it might as well sum up Conor
  McGregors entire career.Id like to take a chance to apologize to ... absolutely
  nobody! McGregor said, setting off a cacophony of noise -- both supportive and
  derisive -- inside the legendary arena.McGregor, fresh off of making history at
  UFC 205 by becoming the promotions first fighter to hold world titles in two
  weight divisions simultaneously, need not seek repentance from anyone in the
  fight game. Not even as his behavior in recent days, from showing up late once
  again at Thursdays news conference to answering questions with constant
  profanity, has become increasingly crass for even his standards.The worlds most
  famous fighter took over The Worlds Most Famous Arena and made it his home on
  Saturday with a second-round knockout of lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez,
  just as he said he would do. In fact, just as he said he would do to every
  single fighter he has faced over 10 appearances in the Octagon since his 2013
  debut -- save for a brief hiccup at welterweight against Nate Diaz in March,
  which he avenged four months later.As the great Muhammad Ali used to say, its
  not bragging if you can back it up. And until anyone at 145 -- where McGregor
  has held the UFCs featherweight title since last December -- or 155 pounds can
  do anything to stop him, the brazen Irish sensation has free reign to be just as
  Notorious as he wants to.The Ali reference is apropos in this sense because
  McGregor is the first combat sports athlete since The Greatest to truly possess
  Ali-like qualities. No, the parallel isnt perfect, particularly from the sense
  of cultural significance. But when it comes to entertainment value and the bold
  ability to back up the endless rhetoric that acts as his shield, McGregor stands
  alone within his own era.McGregors victory over Alvarez caps a 12-month span of
  financial and in-cage success that tops what any fighter has done in UFC
  history. So on the very same night as the 23rd anniversary of the UFC, in the
  promotions first appearance in the state of New York since 1997 following a
  well-documented battle, there was no other fighter worthy to have his face on
  the marquee on the brightest possible stage.Having already supplanted his
  contemporaries as the greatest draw in UFC history, McGregor is now attempting
  to creep closer toward the idea of becoming its greatest fighter, as well. No,
  hes not there yet. To many, he might not even be close. But hes building a
  resume that each day is becoming harder to quantify with an asterisk like what
  happens when he finally faces an elite wrestler with a full training camp? Those
  days, of penalizing his arrogance and lack of a complete game with qualifiers,
  is nearing completion.Are there fighters in both weight classes in which
  McGregor holds titles that you could legitimately favor to beat him tomorrow? No
  question. Unbeaten lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, who looked like a
  beast in mauling Michael Johnson on Saturday before calling out McGregor, is one
  of them.But the more he continues to make the kind of outrageous claims that hes
  talented and just crazy enough to actually back them up inside the cage -- while
  doing so in such spectacular and effortless fashion -- the closer McGregor comes
  to mixed martial arts immortality.Like Ali, he spoke of his all-time greatness
  from the very beginning, long before any of us -- or possibly himself -- was
  truly in a position to believe it. But theres no longer room to deny it.McGregor
  couldnt have said it any better Saturday after the fight when he proclaimed,
  Youve got to have size, reach, length -- youve got to have attributes to defeat
  me. One of those attributes is audacity, and right now he has no peer.For that,
  McGregor need not apologize. As long as he continues to back it up, the UFC is
  his world and the rest of us are just bystanders.

  PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- VCU coach Will Wade got the response he wanted to a
  loss.Jonathan Williams scored a career-high 22 points and hit the go-ahead layup
  with 3:59 left to help the Rams hold off St. Johns 75-69 on Thursday night in

  (4-1), who had lost 71-63 to No. 20 Baylor in Wednesdays tournament opener. VCU
  led by eight late in the first half and was tied with about 8 minutes left in
  that one.Wed been preparing for that for a while -- we put a ton into that game,
  Wade said. It was a little bit of a gut-punch when we had the lead in the second
  half and couldnt close it out. So Im really proud of the way our guys
  responded.Williams, a junior from Richmond, Virginia, came into the tournament
  averaging 7.3 points but hit 8 of 15 shots and 6 of 7 free throws to go with six
  assists with one turnover in 34 minutes.We all came together as a team and was
  like, `The most energized team is going to win, Williams said.Williams drive
  gave VCU a 67-65 lead, then Lewis had a driving score of his own. Lewis and Mo
  Alie-Cox went 4 for 4 at the foul line in the last 13 seconds to help seal the
  win on a night when both teams blew double-digit leads -- St. Johns by 13 in the
  first half, VCU by 11 with about 14 minutes left.Shamorie Ponds scored 18 points
  to lead the Red Storm (2-3), who made their first eight shots in the game but
  shot just 28 percent (8 of 29) after halftime. The Red Storm had lost to No. 24
  Michigan State in its Atlantis opener after leading early in the second half of
  that one.I think we played a good game but didnt finish it off, Red Storm coach
  Chris Mullin said. We probably pplayed 25-30 good minutes last game, probably
  about 30 tonight.ddddddddddddWeve got to get it to 40 minutes.BIG PICTUREVCU:
  The Rams can at least feel good that they came up with the key plays in the
  final 4 minutes of a tie game, a good sign for a team that couldnt quite figure
  out how to stay in front of No. 20 Baylor in its Atlantis opener Wednesday.St.
  Johns: Other than that game-opening burst, the Red Storm struggled with their
  shooting again. They shot just 31 percent against No. 24 Michigan State then
  followed that by finishing at 41 percent Thursday.Weve basically played our
  fifth game together, so some of that takes time, Mullin said. Weve just got to
  keep working at it and break through it. ... Weve got to keep working and
  understand we are getting better, were getting closer.TIP-INSVCU: Alie-Cox
  scored 15 points... VCU shot 42 percent and had just nine turnovers. ... The
  Rams scored 14 points off turnovers. ... Justin Tillman had 13 rebounds.St.
  Johns: Redshirt freshman guard Marcus LoVett came in averaging 23.3 points but
  finished with 10 on 4-for-13 shooting. ... Bashir Ahmed scored 13 points. ...
  St. Johns finished with a 40-36 rebounding advantage. ... Kassoum Yakwe had six
  blocked shots.UP NEXTVCU: The Rams will play LSU, who beat Old Dominion later
