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

    I don't think so....

    He didn't look his usual bright spark self. Looked a little jaded I felt,

    I hope he trains very hard now and gets the rematch...

    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.

    It's not good enough. Kavanagh has done a lot of work to portray himself as a force for good and I thought he was but if this ****e is acceptable to him I think he needs to take a long hard look at himself.

    Well that's not good. I'm of the opinion that Danis is the biggest tool in the whole of 'team mcgregor' but I was in the arena, I'd be shocked if Khabib was able to hear him, given how loud the arena was. I assumed Khabib went running at him due to Danis beckoning him in.

    Not only is Khabib a superhero grappler he also has superhero hearing. In a crowd of 10,000 people Khabib heard Danis call him name, lads this is getting ridiculous.

    Why is he employed by 'team mcgregor' if he is a known tool? With all the nonsense that has gone on this year why are these scrotes around?

    Who knows man. He must be doing something right because Conor seems to love him.

    The Khabib admitted they had organised to attack team McGregor no matter what the result. It's all over their social media, We said we'd do it, and we did it.

    I agree, Danis is a dickhead but no chance Khabib would have been able to hear him shout something.......... plus, Danis wasn't even looking at him when he jumped the cage.

    Look at this angle and you'll see that right up until Khabib threw his mouthguard Danis was looking at him but after that everyone in that area seem distracted by something else and are looking towards the cage entrance but then looks back when Khabib jumps.

    You can hear the noise of the crowd in this also:

    Didn't you spend weeks arguing with the diehards in here before Maymac, then as soon as it was over you were saying the same sort of thing 'oh he did great, he could beat him next time blah'?

    It's clear to anyone with eyes to see that he couldn't beat him if he had the whole of his twenties back to train. Though I'd love to see him try.

    yeah, he doesn't even have a puncher's chance.... :eek::rolleyes:

    Re watching the fight and I still think Conor wasn’t as poor as some are making out.

    His stand up was rusty but still caused a bit of trouble.

    Ground game was pretty good.

    If he trained properly and gave up all the other stuff I’d say he could go closer in a rematch, big if though.

    His stand up just wasn’t as sharp as usual.

    I'm not sure why nobody is acknowledging the fact that Khabib immediately went towards Danis and threw his mouthguard at him right after leaving Conor. Danis is a tool and may have said something but Khabib definitely wouldn't have heard him and was going straight for him regardless. I certainly wouldn't be believing TMZ and the people doing so, are doing it because it fits their narrative.

    The double standards by a lot of posters is ridiculous. I think McGregor has done plenty of disgusting things, and Danis is an absolute tool, but people are seeing what they want to see. I don't think Khabib is a good person at all, he is a hypocrite with just as many unsavoury elements as Conor. Both can be condemned when they're in the wrong.

    Isn’t it true Danis and Khabib has beef going back years something to do with a t shirt Khabib wore?

    Luke Thomas has outlined and pointed out how Khabib and his team behaved backstage after the fight. He's a massive Khabib fan but he was't impressed.

    But, yes, you're absolutely right. UFC is not attracting high caliber moral people. The hurt business does not tend to attract upstanding citizens.

    IT's a blood sport. That's the entertainment and all that comes with it. Including the lack of class.

    One of McGregor's greatest achievements was convincing people that he actually had a chance against Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match

    Mayweather @ evens to win inside the distance was the easiest money I'll ever make off the bookies

    Does McGregor smoke?

    That was class. It'll be Anderson Silva next. Big money.

    Agreed wholeheartedly. He was very rusty and his timing was bad. Khabib would rightfully be favourite in the inevitable rematch but if McGregor really applied himself the way he did for the Diaz rematch I genuinely believe he has a chance. McG gassed but Khabib was slowing down aswell, but khabib just had more in the tank.

    It suited Dana to push the idea that Danis caused the scenes after the fight, he could push the blame onto a fighter not on his roster. I wouldn't be surprised if he was behind the TMZ story.

    There's no way Khabib could hear any insult at the end of the fight even if one was shouted and the only thing the cameras picked up was Danis gesturing to Khabib to come to him after Khabib had thrown his gumshield.

    Danis might not be the most likeable guy but it was Khabib that instigated the fight after the fight

    Mcgregor has no chance against the goat Khabib. I told you Mcgregors day of reckoning was his mauling with Khabib. Khabib hopefully had made him humble.

    Dana needs to give the fans a superfight to determine who the mma goat is between Khabib vs GSP. The old generation vs the new.

    Can’t get your story straight? First it was Danis called him a name, now it’s because he was starting on someone


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,549 ✭✭✭evolving tipperary


    In fairness, Danis should stick to JJ competitions. His stand-up is horrendous.

    He was hardly mauled in the true sense.

    Khabib had him down but he was hardly mauling him the whole time.
