    Conor missing out on the chance to really get in Khabibs head with a crowd behind him compared to the previous presser...not his greatest move.

    Catch 22 because he has him in the height of it getting worked up now. I don't think he liked being there on his own at all.

    No one's taking about 165, it's fake news. Dana the gas man.

    And missing a chance to pull in another few thousand buys at least. Less money for him, dumb move as you said.

    Khabib was in control of what happened there, he was able to get up and walk away - if Conor was there he has nowhere to go and has to sit there getting wound up and have the crowd behind Conor which only fuels Conor more. Khabib is nowhere near as worked up as he would be having to sit through a press conference with Conor imo.

    Do you think Conor cares about a couple of extra 1000 sales at this stage?

    Stupid of him to keep up this being late stick. Fighters just aren't going to hang around anymore.

    Of course he cares about a couple of extra thousand sales. Someone who loves money as much as he does will do everything to maximise their income. PPV buys are pretty much all he cares about apart from winning the fight.

    Ah man, he's kind of ****ed this. Khabib looked rattled. He could have had a proper go at him. 
    I get showing up late, but 10 minutes would be enough to show some disrespect

    Wonder if Khabib is still in the back like Eddie Alvarez was.

    Some of the questions these journalists ask are so dumb.

    Gotta feel this has backfired on Mcgregor. Surely them appearing together is to his advantage. WP by Khabib.

    Sorry I'm late I just don't give a fook. Shame we didn't get to see them both on stage with the crowd.

    I'd say Khabib was secretly delighted he didn't show. He didn't have to deal with the McGregor onslaught

    It’s rumoured that JJ got his ban reduced by snitching on other cheaters to USADA.

    Eddie and Aldo were almost defeated before the bell even rung. Showing up late was a bad move by McGregor.

    Jesus that’s a very, very serious allegation against Ali. I haven’t read about him in detail but I assume there’s some degree of truth to that particular comment? You can’t make something like that up.

    “If you can’t aim for peace, aim between the eyes”.

    That is a cracking line to be fair.

    I think Khabib is feeling the pressure. Compare his demeanour with that of McGregor who is in great form.

    It's in a book about NYPD and FBI informants and lots of stuff about Ali becoming an informant and then becoming untrustworthy and they severed ties with him. Dodgy bastard.
