In fairness is Khabib not champion only because Conor took a vaycay and Dana stripped him. By your logic Khabibs title would be just as illegitimate.

Even if this were the case, I am pretty confident Khabib legitmised his title with his comprehensive victory, over McGregor.

So Khabibs teammate was running for danis who is Conor’s teammate to hit him but Conor threw a dig to defend danis and he’s in the wrong????

That's just not accurate.

Wow you can read his mind? Amazing ability.

And why was he carrying Khabib's big wooly hat? As a weapon no doubt, Danis must be allergic to wool.

By the time he got to the cage security had broken everything up and how exactly could he pick out Danis as a target from across the octogon? He ran straight past McG and didn't give him a second look.

I don't blame McG for smacking him tho, it was a crazy situation and he was in fight/ survival mode, but why not go off the actual footage instead of guessing what people were thinking

One question.

Why was Khabibs mate running to hop over the cage?

To join in the scrap that Khabib had started? Or was that a rhetorical question?

Absolutely not

I feel like I've jumped into an argument where I've no idea what's going on

Anyone criticising McGregor for the act of self defense in that instance is just not worth arguing with

Well maybe he was thinking something like " oh sh1t Khabib has just jumped into the McG team hopefully he won't get his head kicked in"

He he was charging to fight why not just go directly at McG.

In the same way that John Kavanagh jumped into the cage to protect Conor as opposed to looking to fight.

I am only talking about the guy with the wooly hat the two other tits who jumped in are a pair of clowns especially the smaller of the two whom McGregor jabbed the head off.

I'd guess because he had it in his hand when it kicked off and never thought to drop it. He still had it in his hand when he was throwing punches inside the octagon a few seconds later.

I figured he was jumping into help Khabib.
Help could mean to back him up or to get him out of there.

McGregor only let him win to lul him into a false sense of security for the rematch..

Next level psychological warfare..

A screenshot of a msg to some sbg group.

Another week of rumours until nac meet to decide what to do about the after fight melee

mmmayonaise · 13-10-2018 04:35PM

"
Khabib was experiencing seizures 2 days before the fight with Conor McGregor at UFC 229."

From twitter.

Dunno why Conor didn't bother turning up on time for the last press conference. Could have made Khabib suffer with the weight cut a bit longer.

Our man on the ground, Diarmuid Connolly, has been quiet so not much over the last few days.

Anyone who wants to see a wrestler really maul a striker should see the Bader v. Mitrione fight last night. It was beyond domination, Mitrione couldn't do a thing and I'm not even sure he got a single notable strike across all 3 rounds.

What makes it even more incredible is that Bader isn't even in the same weight class.

Mitrione afterwards: "Dude rode me like a ****in pony".

Calltocall · 13-10-2018 04:50PM

I watched the fight again and he looked so off walking into the ring like internally he knew I cant win this, a marked difference to his normal pre fight confidence, his hunger is gone, I doubt even at the top of his game he could beat khabib but he would have put up more of a fight, with the risk of head trauma etc that comes with fighting he should just walk become a commentator or something, cant see him clawing back to the top now, but the taking of a round gives a glimmer as to how to beat khabib, I don’t see anyone knocking him out but if you have excellent tdd and pick him off in the stand up he’ll be beaten on points

I don't think King Mo landed a single strike either. Hats off to Bader but what does that say about Bellator?

McGregor has always lacked internal confidence when things do not go his way.

That fight? Not much really. Mitrione is a good stand-up fighter. There's a generally lower standard of fighter in Bellator but there's tons of top talent at the higher levels as well.

Ah I don't know if its says much about Bellator, but probably a bit about the talent at heavyweight as opposed to light heavyweight.

I've no doubt Based would do quite well competing against many UFC heavyweights, and probably better than he did at light heavyweight.

rob316 · 13-10-2018 05:40PM

I still just don't know why he came back. Even if he had won the other night what's the point? Hes got more money than he could ever spend as it is.
There's guys still fighting into their late 30s and 40s who wouldn't have made a precent of what he has made across their whole careers.

He's could be out at 30 with a couple hundred million and no lasting damage. Do a few **** movies, a stint in WWE then just disappear.

Perhaps fighting gives him a certain satisfaction that money doesn't, despite all his bluster.

If your so in love with MMA you don't leave it for 2 years to have an exhibition boxing match with and all time great. McGregor is out partying enjoying life as he should be, how do you get motivated to go back and do what you did again.

UFC is prizefighting, it's all for money no matter what anyone says.

No matter how much someone loves competing, I highly doubt many of them would turn down a chance at making $100m, so not seeing your logic there.
