Artem Lobov vows to leave UFC if Zubaira Tukhugov cut

Haha I doubt the UFC would give a **** if Artem left

jammiedodgers · 24-10-2018 10:46am

"You can't fire me, I quit!"

Rumble replied and said he would drop weight for 100 mill

Eddie Alvarez has come out and said if Zubaira is kicked out, Khabib leaves and Artem quits...then he's not stayin either.

:pac:

weldoninhio · 24-10-2018 12:35pm

Well if Artem leave, the UFC can forget about signing me up on a 10 fight deal.

:D:D

Artem is cheap (for the UFC) and if they let him go he would bring a lot of promotional value to other organizations. They'd get a lot of mileage out of him being Conor's mate, Conor might even attend events etc.

For that reason UFC wouldn't be keen on letting him go.

Artem could probably do better ppv buys than some champions

Come on, I honestly like Artem, he's a top top bloke but the UFC would not give a single toss if he quit. If he loses against Johnson he'll be 2-5 (including TUF finale) in the UFC, he's just as likely to get cut.

Nonsense. Artem sadly is a walking meme in the mma world.

Cringe. Now khabib himself is even posting that fake quote, hilarious when you realise mcgregor never even said that. How many people in this world actually have functional ears? Khabib has previously said he can't understand mcgregors english so he gets a pass for not having a clue what was said to him in the cage, and instead relies on what he reads on articles he finds whilst googling himself.

Proof that Khabib reads boards so.

I was taking the piss.

Chances are though, that Khabib might have heard him...considering that he was right there.

There's a difference between hearing and understanding. I heard most fighters don't have much memory from fights though... they got to watch it back to see what happened, too much adrenaline.

Really? I've never heard that one before.

At better excuse you could have come up with was that Khabibs cauliflower ears hindered his ability to hear McGregor say anything. You can use that one if you want, I'll let you.

Na, I could just show you where khabib said a few weeks ago that he can't understand anything mcgregor says.

What I said about remembering fights is true though, you sure you watch mma? Lots of fighters bring it up when doing interviews afterwards, when people ask how they thought the fight went.

Yeah I'm sure I watch MMA, thanks.

You referring to fighters who think they win and aren't happy with a decision or the ones who got knocked out and shouldn't be (are no longer) interviewed after a fight? Neither really matters, Khabib was there and heard what he said, as did most of the other people who listened back.

Your subjective hearing and fanboy levels might hinder your ability to understand that.

The only people with subjective hearing are those who think the audio contains the word its or only or business. In fact I can't even fathom how subjective hearing could make you hear 'its only business' I'm certain anyone that says that is either lying or never even paid attention to the audio. I've tried to convince myself it actually contained those words, because unlike many people I just wanted to find out what the audio really was, not just have something I can use to bash someone.

Yes, everyone else has subjective hearing, has to be the case. Couldn't be that he did actually say that, and that you don't like that he said it.

No, because if you actually analyze the audio it is literally impossible those words were said. The first word clearly beings with F, and the second word clearly begins with C or K. End of story. And I guarantee anyone who listens to the audio carefully would also come to that conclusion if they are being neutral.

Useful.Idiot · 24-10-2018 6:25pm

Jesus lads who cares. Obviously Khabib and Ali are going to say that's what he said regardless of what was actually said. Everyone's gonna twist it to suit their own bias so it doesn't really matter.

I'm starting to really come around to the idea of Conor v Aldo 2. Have always wanted to see what would've happened if that fight went longer.

You are the only one analyzing it, everyone else was just listening to it.

Temp suspensions for McGregor and Khabib.

Subcomandante Marcos · 24-10-2018 6:40pm

The Mirror and other reporting it as an "indefinate suspension" in their headlines trying to bait them clicks.

Khabib got half his purse back. He'll get most of the rest of it back in December and a slap on the wrist suspension.

Everyone else was just automatically believing the subtitles. Theres many people who think the quote is wrong not just me. Anyway I'm really done talking bout this now. I can't take these kind of replies seriously since hearing the cleaner version of the audio, just feel like I'm feeding trolls.

Wouldn't be so sure as they called him the catalyst of it all.... both also have to appear in person in December, so should be interesting.

Vegas at Christmas, can see them requesting a date change on that.

They'll both be told they're very naughty boys, given a 6 momth suspension and a slap on the wrist and be aked to promise it will never happen again.

He most definitely didn't say "it's only business".

Possibly said, "dont kiss us" but not even a fellow dub can be 100% certain, never mind Americans who dont get that we use "us" when we mean "me". This being the case, I wouldnt pay the blindest bit of attention to the likes of Paulie Malignaggi.

Most important part is that there is an unmistakable c/k sound, so yes 'its only business' is completely out the window.

I don't think its throwing kisses. I already said what I think it is but its still totally possible to be able to cancel out one possibility without having the answer.
