    If Conor really did he say "its only business" his credibility is shot to f**k, its such a b*tch thing to say in the middle of a fight.

    He may aswell of said go easy on me pal.

    He said that in his first UFC interview, nothing new.

    He only said it during the fight because he was getting the head leatherd off him. I agree with the poster above who said Conor said it to try stop Khabib from permanantly damaging him.

    Khabib's whole devout respectful thing is just a front like most religious freaks. The man is on a dirty-pay roll with criminal ties:

    Your saying khabib has criminal ties. Im letting you know Conor has worse ties.

    I'm not interested in getting into a babyish competition of who has worse ties! I'm pointing out researched journalistic articles on the topic.

    And would you be pointing them out if McGregor hadn't got his ass kicked on Saturday night?

    If you provoke a bear and it bites your arm off then you deserve every thing that comes your way. I couldn't be happier to have seen what happened McGregor the other night.

    Maybe for the rematch they can put a chain on Khabib and Dana can yank it if he starts to hurt Conor

    I think Conor should be relishing a rematch.

    2 years out and he lasts 4 rds wth a supposed terror. Watching the fight, Khabib didn't terrorize or really hurt Conor,. He simply wore Conor down. Conor won't at all fear a rematch here in the hurt senses, because he didn't take a battering.

    Work his cardio big time and sharpen up; and quit worrying about takedowns. Go take Khabib out. Take the fight to him with heavy sharp punches....

    The reason he didn't get a battering was because he tapped out the second the shīt hit the fan.

    He tapped out in rd 4. Up to that he hardly was getting pasted......yes, Jhabib had moments, but so did Conor....

    Anyway, point stands. Solid cardio work and sharpness and Conor should be a real threat.

    That's what he does to everyone. They all have that look on the bottom when the camera catches them, just the life drained from you.

    If it went to the next round of have been worried about him getting seriously hurt.
    He had nothing left to give and got off light by tapping.
    Looked to me like he knew this.
    Wise decision imo.

    Conor was like a child in there. He was terrified.

    Mcgregor has been walking a very fine line when it comes to discrimination, whether it be racial or homophobic themes in his promotional work. I've been inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt myself but the doubt is there.

    On Sunday morning I thought what Khabib did was disgraceful but if what this Danis lad allegedly shouted at a worthy winner is true I'm inclined to believe that there is something very wrong in McGregors camp. It is smoke turning in to fire and there's no place for it anywhere in our society.

    John Kavanagh needs to stand up here and either clarify what his gym is about or **** this lad out.

    He won't though, he said as much last night on JRE - "I deal with the fight hes booked in for I don't get involved with the other stuff"

    You can guarantee he'd throw some young fella imitating Conor out of his gym and take the moral high ground. He's hardly going to talk down to his golden goose.
