Sets the sport back years just when people were taking it serious

People took the sport plenty serious before the McGregor brigade arrived. It wasn’t just starting to be taken seriously.

You realise the sport existed before Conor? It was still pretty damn popular. :rolleyes:

Not nice to see but are we completely forgetting McGregor threw a hand truck through a bus window not caring who it hit? McGregor picked the wrong fight he got mauled

McG had so much time on the feet. Showed some good yet brief glimpses of defensive grappling and Khabib genuinely looked like he was losing steam in round 3 but Conor didn't respect him on the feet at all and easily let himself be backed into the cage. His shots didn't seem to have pop on them, or maybe Khabib just rolled with them well. A disappointing sub par striking performance from him.

Im not sure the people here realize how bad this is for the sport, Dana, will not be happy, you dont want this sh1t, there will be absolute war in vegas tonight.

Those saying dana lapping it up, couldnt be further from the truth, he has worked tirelessly to get the scumbag "cage fighter" image away from the sport, went to every state and reporter in the country to have it taken seriously and respected, and educated them on the merits of mma, he has spent so long and has done, to his credit, his level best to get the image of the sport right, which is why you see so much respect from fighters in there.

As someone said earlier, tonight has set the sport back years, their biggest event in history. It is a serious shame it ended the way it did.

I am a genuine fan of Conor’s and have been for a long long but if Khabib had gotten off that bus that time, McGregor and his mates would have done a lot worse to him than a sucker punch.

I’m not condoning the events post fight in any way but you reap what you sow.

This is spot on, biggest win of his career in possibly the biggest ppv and this happens. Mental.

That's the beginning of the end for McGregor.

Will probably just go to the WWE

Woodley talking sense. Bisping "criminals don't get visas" Woodley "the dolly incident"

McGregor done now. at least in the 1st diaz fight mcgregor hurt him. McGregor didnt lay a finger on khabib. No round 2 coming

Dillon had words with khabibs corner on side of cage after stoppage khabib threw gum shield and danis stepped up then jt exploded.

Khabib teammate then wnet over cage to conor. Scumbaggery of the highest order. Place is mental
