So after listening to the press conference and watching thevideo again, Conor gets attacked post fight by 3 guys, were those 3 guys ufc fighters training with khabib?Comment -
where's the security in the ring ? should have guys on the inside making sure people don't get in the cage, very piss poor securityComment -

Ok, I’ve never heard of him. I sure hope he wasnt the guy in the red shirt that took two swings at Conor from behind. That would be a new low, have a contract with the ufc and cheap shot McGregor from behind. Either way, him and Khabib likely fukked up.
I learned a long time ago its hard as fukk to rebuild burnt bridges, a lot easier to just not burn them in the first place. Anger is just an emotion, it passes. Im probably 20 years older than Khabib so maybe I’ve just had more time to learn a few lessonsLast edited by The Kraken; 10-07-18, 02:42 AM.Comment -
Easy money never in doubt... Khabib by sub. McIrish gave up the neck as expected...
Told you boys... Posting gifs on this today in threads... Felt good about this bet..Comment -
Khabib is too big of guy and too good of wrestler to get beaten by anyone in that weight division.
None of the guys have enough power to rock him, and none of them have a chance after he wrestles them to the ground.
If Kabib wants a big $$$ fight, he needs to move up a weight class. It will still be hard selling elite wrestlers to casual MMA fans. Kabib’s grinding style of wear his opponents out, win each round on points, and wait for his opponent to give up (which is what Conor did when he gave up his neck) isn’t going to draw much of an American audience.Comment -
So Conor was actually the first one to throw a punch at one of Kabib's guys.

I admit I lost a little interest in UFC for a while, and this fight got me interested again.
Can't wait to see Khabib get his cranium cracked by someone.
I'm not a McGregor fan nor do I have a favorite fighter.
But I know a POS when I see one, could tell even before the fight, and glad Khabib proved that to be true.Comment -
Funny when you break it down this went down just like Rocky III.
During the press conference, you have The American getting most of the questions, with laughing & joking going on, while the Russian remains calm & quiet.
Then the Russian does his talking in the ring, dominating the fight.
Now we will wait & see one day if the rest is true & the Russian is roided up.
I wouldn't doubt it as it is possible.Comment -
Kermit - Huh? Khabib already jumped into the stands to beat up McG's training partner. All mayhem has broken loose because Khabib jumped into the stands. Conor is barely coherent after getting choked out and people are flying all over the place. People are grabbing him. What do you think his first instinct is when he sees one of Khabib's corner? Khabib instigated the ENTIRE brawl. Khabib is responsible for any and everything that happened after that fight. Khabib is responsible for the fights that broke outside the arena and in area bars. Not sure why you're trying to pin this on McG?
I'm not an McG fan, nor am I trying to defend him. I already know he's an asshole. But none of that gives Khabib a pass for JUMPING IN THE FUKKING STANDS. How people don't understand that is crazy. The minute you start fighting with people in the stands, you have lost your fukkking mind. The governor of NV had to be rushed out of there surrounded in security. Several celebrities were trampled in the melee. Women were crying. WTF? It was a great fight. It was a great night and then Khabib fukked it up for everyone. There is NO DEFENDING stupid. Now he's set himself up to be potentially fukked in the ass for taking this shit too personal. Keep that shit in the ring.Comment -
They should have a rematch between Conor and the guy who jumped in the ring, i also read from a few twitter folks that Khabib wants to retire sooner than later? is 27 matches a lot in a career?Comment -
Of course it's an act. Worst than Dennis Rodman. The other 10% is just him being a crazy fukk. He knows that acting crazy sells tickets. We all know he's overrated but we all want to see him get his ass kicked. We all know that there's going to be drama in the ring when he fights. He'll get his beaten to a pulp but that's what we want anyway. I've always said that if Mayweather would have put himself in harms way a few times, people would have died to watch him fight. Mayweather was a boring watch because he was so good, just like Khabib. Maybe Khabib did this to gain attention? Maybe Dana put him up to it? I doubt it because you can tell that he took this shit too personal. He felt his religion and honor was disrespected. He was losing his mind in the ring during the fight. It was as if he had a mental episode. You could see him get crazier and crazier until the end. He was psychotic last night and everyone saw it.Comment -
Mcgregor deserved what he got! He threw the first punch in the brawl. Lhabib went into the crowd but never got a chance to hit the guy he was going after. Mcgregor is a piece of shit and he proved qt the bus incident when he injured two fighters and his constant death threats at khabib and talking about his religion. You never make fun of someone's religion or call them a fake russian. Respect khabib even more after this brawl. Mcgregor gets away with too much shit as it is. Even during the fight got away with tons of cheating!Comment -
Exactly. McG is a business entity and he’s simply trying to make as much $$$ as possible, and he does it extremely well. He also happens to win most of his fights and is one of the best fighters in mma, he’s just not the best. But he’s the best at making $$$. Everyone has different priorities in lifeComment -
No one is disputing that Mcgregor didn't get what he deserved. He got his ass kicked and we all loved it. But you must be new to the fight game if you think what he says is something unusual. Ali used to not only talk about an opponents religion but he would tell fans that Frazier was an uncle tom, which was one of the worst things to say about another black man during those times. Ali said later that he was trying to sell tickets. Frazier took that shit to heart. It happens all the time in the fight game. You talk yourself up and try to get into your opponents head before the fight. Mike Tyson (not a real good example here with his ear biting) would defeat an opponent at the weigh in with his jawing.
The key piece here is that Khabib went into the crowd. No one can defend that stupid shit. Once you go into the crowd, all bets are off. Anything can happen including you getting stabbed or hurt by enraged fans. You put yourself, the UFC, the venue at risk of being sued by people being hurt in your moment of stupidity. You now have amped up the level of security at an event where paying customers are already liquored up. Vegas police were on high alert all night. That means more police have to be called in to work, which means more expenses. Khabib is a dumb ass, no matter how upset he was, you don't do that. UNLESS YOU STAGED IT WITH DANA WHITE'S BLESSING???Comment -
If Dana White had to make a choice right now on keeping McG or Khabib, we all know the answer to that question. You don't kill your cash cow. Khabib should have taken the win and graciously embrace McG as he put on his belt. That would have garnered much more respect by the buying public and maybe raise his stock in UFC. This shit right here may backfire on him in the worst way. idk
Khabib should also know that McG is allowing other UFC fighters to make more money. How dumb is he to not see this? UFC fighters are notoriously underpaid. I think we're seeing this change and it's because of people like McG and Rhonda Rousey, loved them or hate them. They both helped this sport.Last edited by Mac4Lyfe; 10-07-18, 10:00 AM.Comment -
and I'm 99.5% sure that White did not stage this because it puts his product too much at risk. If several people would have died in the melee, the entire UFC could be at risk. He would have to section off an entire area with his own plants to do this correctly. Too many dignitaries were around. White said this was the top 1, 2 and 3 worst things he's ever seen in a ring. He was not happy at all. I don't think it was staged.Comment -
staged the announcers knew immediately what was happening, who it was, who was in the crowd, also announced and knew Khabib team members were jumping in the ring and hitting Conner (why could that not been a psyco fan, like monica Seles attacker??) they knew who it was guys in hoods? , what side they were from, and said it all out loud as it happened. That was about as opposite of a confusing me-lee in history.
why they would have staged things like that is beyond bizarre as only the already loyal UFC fans are going nutz either way, still today, but they have those loyal fans anywayComment -
I know and its hard to fathom why he did it.
It was Conor that did all the shit talking, all the insulting and he just beat him. He was set up for a really nice career as a long reigning champ in the ufc with many big pay days.
But instead he went outside the ring after a nobody, did zero damage and lost a lot of the above.
He didnt defend his religion, family or people by going putside the ring, he simply lost out on a lot of $$ and career opportunity. He defended his religion etc when he beat Conor.
It just makes zero senseComment
